Lymphoma (previously often referred to as lymphosarcoma) is one of the most (if not the most?) common types of cancer to affect dogs and cats. In this episode we discuss lymphoma in general terms covering a variety of topics such as what it is, patient presentation, clinical approach to the patient, treatment options and prognosis. For this episode I am joined once again by Chiara Leo, Lecturer in Oncology at the Royal Veterinary College.

In and amongst all the science and medicine that are at the centre of veterinary practice, it is essential that we don't overlook the overarching principles and considerations relating to Ethics and Animal Welfare. After all, they have to be a guiding light for what we do in clinical practice. This is the second in a two-part mini-series of podcast episodes featuring Martin Whiting, Lecturer in Veterinary Ethics and Law here at the RVC. In these episodes we discuss a variety of topics and issues. We start with discussing what 'veterinary ethics' and 'animal welfare' mean and then spend the remainder of the time seeing how these concepts apply to a variety of small animal clinical scenarios. The podcasts end with some comments on professional ethics in the context of regulatory bodies.

If you haven't listened to Part 1, we would recommend you do this before listening to this second episode.

This is the second part in the two-part mini-series on corneal ulceration in dogs and cats with Màrian Matas Riera who is a lecturer in Ophthalmology here at the RVC. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet it is highly recommended that you listen to that episode first as we dive right back in here in the second part. In this two-part podcast mini-series we start with a refresher of the anatomy of the eye and more specifically the anatomy and function of the cornea. We then discuss causes of corneal pathology and the spectrum of severity in ulcerative keratitis. Examination of the patient and appropriate treatment according to severity are discussed and the podcast mini-series is rounded off with some chat about corneal transplant and a quick tangent on diabetic cataracts!

Finally some Ophthalmology! Corneal ulceration (ulcerative keratitis) is a problem that is encountered commonly in small animal practice and the approach to treatment depends on a good understanding of the severity of the problem in the individual patient. In this two-part podcast mini-series we start with a refresher of the anatomy of the eye and more specifically the anatomy and function of the cornea. We then discuss causes of corneal pathology and the spectrum of severity in ulcerative keratitis. Examination of the patient and appropriate treatment according to severity are discussed and the podcast mini-series is rounded off with some chat about corneal transplant and a quick tangent on diabetic cataracts! I am joined for this feast of Ophthalmology by Màrian Matas Riera who is a lecturer in Ophthalmology here at the RVC. Part 2 of this mini-series will be uploaded in approximately 3 weeks' time.

This is the second part of my discussion on blocked cats with Dr Rosanne Jepson, Lecturer in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Dominic Barfield, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care; and in absentia with Nicola Kulendra, Lecturer in Small Animal Surgery. And of course like in the first episode I can't help but chip in as well! As nentioned in the last post, there is a lot to talk about so we have not been able to plunge into the deepest depths in any one area but this is a very useful overview of the topic.
