We are coming to the end of another year and well today other events happened in the UK. Anyway regardless of that we have been trying to get Associate Professor of Veterinary Dermatology Anette Loeffler into the studio for a while now, she was a little short of time though has promised to come back again next year. Luckily Brian was on hand to sort out the audio. We discussed what it means if you come up against MRSP – methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Enjoy.

Another year has passed by and as we close on 2019 Brian and I are joined by a previous RVC graduate Dave Beeston. We find out what Dave’s been up to in the last year and he’s certainly easier to get back into the studio. He hasn’t started his own podcast yet, though he has been on other podcasts (yes, I know, I couldn’t believe it either). We’ll see if we can continue doing this for a couple more years, we certainly need to get more podcasts out in 2020. Dave will be back writing his column in the Vet Times in the new year. We hope that you enjoy.

Today joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have Ludovic Pelligand, Associate Professor of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Clinical Pharmacology here at the RVC. We have tried to get him in the studio for a while and delighted that he found time in his busy schedule to talk to us about his experience with treating nausea and vomiting in dogs. We will get him back on shortly! Enjoy.

Today joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have Professor Dan Chan, our Head of Department here at the RVC. We could talk to him about so many things, though he has recently been involved in the Consensus on the Rational Use of Antithrombotics in Veterinary Critical Care (CURATIVE) and we thought that we’d have a chat with him about that. Enjoy.

The whole Consensus is available in a Special Issue in the Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care open access here;

Today joining Brian and myself in the studio we have Joe Fenn one of our outstanding lecturers here in neurology and neurosurgery. We are discussing the topic of meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO). As Joe explains this has also been known as Meningitis of unknown aetiology, or etiology depending on what side of the pond you are and incorporates necrotising meningoencephalitis (NME) and granulomatous meningoencephalitis (GME). Joe speaks about clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment. Enjoy.

What a treat we have for you today, joined in the studio by Elsa Beltran one of our fabulous lecturers in small animal neurology and neurosurgery here at the RVC. She talks about approach to anisocoria. You can tell that she is passionate about this subject and knows it inside out. Brian kept the levels right and I kept quiet. We hope that you enjoy.

We’re back, thanks to the one listener who asked where we were, I would like to say on a cruise, though in reality that wasn’t the case. Anyhow we are in the studio, with Brian and joined by Aarti Kathrani one of our senior lecturers here in Internal Medicine. Aarti has a particular interest in GI diseases, so we thought that we’d ask her for her approach to manage dogs and cats with diarrhoea. Having discussed this, there are certainly more topics that we would like to ask her in the future.

Joining myself in the studio we are delighted to have Mary de Las Casas, a PDP Post Graduate Dean working for the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (the UK regulatory body of the veterinary profession), talking about the PDP. A fitting time since most veterinary schools in the UK have finished their final examinations (well done) and this is the UK’s version of helping new veterinary graduates transition into their professional life and reflect on their practice. We appreciate that it is a national topic, though it does raise the question about post graduate education and where we are headed as a profession, which is applicable to all. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have Professor Holger Volk, guru of neurology and neurosurgery, though internationally renowned for his (and his teams) work on epilepsy.   Holger spoke to Shailen in the first RVC clinical podcast and being sentimental we thought we’d ask him back for our hundredth podcast. A lot has happened in the last 6 years and we thought that we’d catch up with what has changed. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have the fabulous Matthew Pead, senior lecturer in small animal orthopaedics here at the RVC. Matthew has been in and around the RVC for over 30 years and can speak eloquently on a variety of topics from opera and fine art to educational theory. We thought we should narrow it down to Elbow dysplasia. Matthew bought in his dog, Jack, who has elbow dysplasia and we have attached a short video of Matthew performing a forelimb physical exam. It has taken us 99 podcasts to include another medium. We hope that you enjoy.
