  • Canine Forelimb Splint Placement: Don't Disregard the Digits!
    Feb 25 2025

    Send us a text

    Discover how exposed digits increase weight bearing and alter sub-bandage pressures in dogs with forelimb splints with Sarah Stark, a fourth-year veterinary student from the University of Minnesota. Guided by her mentor, Dr. Wanda Gordon-Evans, Sarah shares her groundbreaking research on forelimb splints and their influence on weight bearing and pressure distribution in dogs. Her study unveils how the design of splints, particularly whether the digits are exposed or enclosed, can significantly impact fracture healing. These revelations not only provide vital insights for veterinary professionals but also open doors for veterinary students to gain recognition through journal awards.

    But the journey doesn't stop there. We also spotlight the indispensable role pet owners play in their animal's recovery process. From understanding the intricacies of splint placement to the critical task of monitoring exposed digits, owners are key players in ensuring proper post-injury care. Be sure to check out Sarah's article in JAVMA and join us in appreciating her significant contributions to veterinary medicine.

    Send us a text

    Are you overlooking azotemia in hyperthyroid cats? Explore the intriguing world of feline hyperthyroidism with veterinary endocrinologist Mark Peterson, who sheds light on why some hyperthyroid cats developing azotemia post-radioiodine treatment face shorter survival times. We'll challenge previous assumptions and dive into new research involving over 1,000 cats, revealing insights that are crucial for making informed treatment decisions for these beloved pets. Uncover the complexities of diagnosing concurrent chronic kidney disease and the critical role of factors like increased blood flow, muscle mass loss, and subsequent treatment options, including medical and dietary therapies.

    In our conversation, Mark also takes us on his personal journey into endocrinology and his impactful contributions to feline health over the past four decades. As we look to the future, we discuss the potential advancements in diagnosing and managing azotemia, including the promising but cautious role artificial intelligence might play in veterinary research. Join us for a captivating discussion on the challenges of recognizing hypothyroidism in cats and the ongoing efforts to improve survival rates through innovative treatments, all backed by Mark’s extensive experience and passion for unraveling the mysteries of hyperthyroidism in cats.

  • Reevaluating Liposomal Bupivacaine: Insights and Implications for Canine Pain Management
    Feb 11 2025

    Send us a text

    Join us as Drs. Vanna Dickerson and Danielle Hollenbeck discuss the impact of peri-incisional liposomal bupivacaine on postoperative pain scores, opioid use after soft tissue surgeries, and incidence of incision site complications in dogs. Despite its widespread use, liposomal bupivacaine may not be providing the pain relief many expect. With 83 dogs enrolled in their study, these findings challenge the status quo in veterinary medicine, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based care and cost-effectiveness. These revelations could reshape clinical practices, especially in cases where traditional analgesics fall short. Explore the nuances of their study and the broader implications for veterinarians striving to enhance patient outcomes.
