In this episode of Tails From the Lab, hosts Drs. Holly Brown and Brad Ryan talk through a case study of Clementine, a nine-year-old indoor cat who came in for a routine wellness visit appearing perfectly healthy. Her owner was hesitant about the need for extensive diagnostics, but the decision to proceed uncovered a silent but significant health issue: hypercalcemia.

From exploring differential diagnoses like neoplasia and hyperparathyroidism to utilizing specialist consultations for imaging and nutrition, this case is a perfect illustration of how early detection leads to early intervention. Discover how a simple blood test created an opportunity to protect Clementine's long-term health and why "normal" results are just as valuable as abnormal ones.

The intent of this podcast is to provide education and guidance with the understanding that any diagnostic testing and treatment decisions are ultimately at the discretion of the attending veterinarian within the established veterinarian-patient-client relationship.
