In today’s VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we focus on an often forgotten, but still vital, electrolyte in the management of congestive heart failure (CHF): chloride. Sodium and potassium tend to steal the electrolyte spotlight, while chloride is over there quietly waiting for someone to notice. But perhaps that is about to change…To help us better appreciate the importance of chloride’s role in our felines with congestive heart failure, we will be reviewing a 2025 article by Lavigne et al. entitled, “Hypochloremia is negatively associated with outcomes in cats with stable congestive heart failure.”

In today’s VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we’re talking about the new veterinary sepsis definitions. Having clear definitions is crucial in making sure we’re talking about the same type and severity of disease. Until now, our veterinary sepsis definitions have been largely adapted from human medicine. But let’s be honest, our patients who have a talent for hiding illness don’t always follow the same rules as humans. Having veterinary-specific definitions gives researchers a more consistent way to compare patients and studies, while giving clinicians a stronger foundation for recognizing sepsis, assessing illness severity, and shaping both today and tomorrow’s treatment recommendations.

In this VETgirl veterinary continuing education podcast, Dr. Mark Cousins debunks the “indoor cat safety” myth. Indoor felines face silent parasite risks: hitchhiking fleas, shoe-borne roundworm eggs, and mosquitoes carrying fatal heartworms. Because cats lack approved heartworm treatments, year-round preventive care is vital. Vets must educate hesitant owners, reframing protection as a baseline of indoor feline wellness.

In today’s VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, Drs. Andy Moorhead and Tom Nelson from the American Heartworm Society address questions practitioners frequently pose about treating heartworm cases when following every step of the AHS-recommended diagnostic and treatment protocol isn’t possible. Whether the issue is money, a hard-to-wrangle dog or a previous caretaker who opted for an alternative approach, there are multiple reasons why compromises must sometimes be made in the treatment and care plan for a heartworm-positive dog.
