Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to speak to Professor Edward Cooper, Section Head of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care at The Ohio State University. I thought we’d continue the theme of the last podcast on feline urethral obstruction and speak to an international authority on the subject, who has been trying to answer some fundamental questions about this topic. He kindly returned my email and spoke to us, despite technical issues he was incredibly patient. Prof Cooper is clearly passionate about this topic and it was great to talk, we hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio (had to dust off the microphone, apologies for that) we are delighted to have Dr Dave Beeston, one of our final year residents in Emergency and Critical Care, here at the RVC. Dave has many interests and enthusiasm for a variety of ECC topics and is no stranger to this podcast regarding his own career journey, though we thought we'd talk to him about one of his research papers, regarding the occurrence and clinical management of urethral obstruction in male cats, a vetcompass study looking at cats in primary care in the UK. We hope that you enjoy.

The paper discussed: Beeston, D., Humm, K., Church, D.B., Brodbelt, D. and O'Neill, D.G., 2022. Occurrence and clinical management of urethral obstruction in male cats under primary veterinary care in the United Kingdom in 2016. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 36(2), pp.599-608. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35199370/

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to have Dr Emily Hall, one of our lecturers in Veterinary Education here at the RVC.
