This webinar covers pathophysiology of shock, how to recognise and treat it. It also contains an introduction to mechanical ventilation. We will cover what can contribute to shock and will be given easy tips to keep things thorough but simple to remember and to easily allow you to understand what type of shock you could be dealing with but also how to treat it. I will focus some attention on blood pressure monitoring and again will be given tips on how to simplify thing and allow you to quickly address and treat hypotensive patients.
On mechanical ventilation we will cover the different types of ventilators you can use but also the when, why and how to use the machine and things to keep an eye on. Different types of ventilation will be covered and so will ventilator curves.

👨‍⚕️Course Case Study - MS303 - Hot Topics in Feline Medicine Online Mini Series👨‍⚕️

Question: This cat is having blood pressure measured. What underlying conditions are associated with hypertension in cats?

Answer: Hypertension is most commonly diagnosed in cats with chronic kidney disease. It can also be diagnosed in cats with hyperthyroidism and hyperaldosteronism. Other causes such as phaeochromocytoma are rare. All senior cats should have systolic blood pressure measured ideally as untreated hypertension can lead to hypertensive retinopathy, encephalopathy and cause renal and cardiac pathology.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an extremely common disease in dogs and cats. Many of these patients were historically treated with lifelong steroids or antibiotics. We now know that about 80% of dogs with IBD and many cats with IBD are well controlled on a special diet alone (hypoallergenic or hydrolysed) and do not require steroids. We also now know that antibiotics such as metronidazole or tylosin, even when given for a few days, can cause dysbiosis for several months, predisposing the patient to future gastrointestinal signs. Learn how to control chronic gastrointestinal signs effectively without steroids or antibiotics. Learn the differences in treatment and prognosis in patients with IBD and hypoalbuminemia.

Skin disorders are relatively commonly seen in small rodents in veterinary practice. Although by far the commonest cause is ectoparasite infection, there are other causes, which may prove more challenging to diagnose in these small pets. As with other species, a thorough clinical history and examination should be undertaken and standard diagnostic tests applied. Pruritus is the commonest clinical sign associated with dermatoses in small mammals and is often secondary to ectoparasite infection. Alopecia is the second most common presentation and causes will be discussed. Scaling and crusting disorders generally occur secondary to excoriation and pruritus and are often associated with ectoparasite infections. Nodular dermatoses are usually associated with bacterial, viral or neoplastic conditions in small rodents and standard diagnostic techniques are applicable (fine needle aspirate, cytology, bacterial culture and biopsy). Common presentations, diagnostic approaches and treatment options will be detailed in this webinar on rodent skin diseases.

Lesions within the brain are confined by the skull, and their expansion will ultimately compress surrounding brain tissue and cause varying signs of neurological dysfunction. These space occupying lesions can present with dramatic and progressive clinical signs and often require prompt recognition and initiation of appropriate treatment to optimise outcomes. In this webinar we will discuss the important space occupying lesions encountered in the UK, focusing on neoplastic lesions, haematomas, granulomas and abscesses/intracranial empyema. We will review their typical clinical presentation, diagnostic work up, management options and associated prognosis. We will use case examples throughout to consolidate key learning points.

✨ TOP TIP - From the Speaker on our Advance15 – Nutrition Online Course✨

There are many clinical conditions where nutrition plays a central role in the overall management strategy. Firstly, the condition or disease must be identified and then a nutritional recommendation made accordingly. Little occurs in isolation so the multiple needs of each pet must be considered carefully in each case and managed concurrently.

✨ TOP TIP - From the Speaker on our Advance25 – Endoscopy for Advanced Practitioners Online Course✨

Always biopsy, even when the mucosa looks normal.

You never know what you will find with histopathology results, and in my experience the visual appearance rarely correlates with the histology findings. This photo is from a case with severe lymphoplasmacytic enteritis, however visually the duodenum looked completely normal. I also see cases where the mucosa looks irregular or damaged, yet the histology is normal. This highlights the importance of taking biopsies, and also shows that you need to consider several factors (test results, imaging findings, endoscopy and histology) when deciding how to treat patients with GI disease.

👨‍⚕️Upcoming Attendance Course Case Study - Basic Abdominal Ultrasound!👨‍⚕️

Question: While performing a complete abdominal ultrasound in a 3 years old female dog with an history of one single episode of vomiting, the only finding you detect is a very small, markedly hyperechoic nodular lesion affecting the periphery of the spleen adjacent to one of its vessels. What should be your main differential diagnosis for this lesion.

Answer: This small hyperechoic nodular splenic lesion very likely represents an incidental myelolipoma. These lesions often have a perivascular location in the spleen. Myelolipomas are benign focal accumulations of fat mixed with haematopoietic tissue. Small myelolipomas identified within the spleen will have no clinical significance . A definitive diagnosis could be obtained by performing a ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirate of the lesion but the small size and proximity of a vessel will make this procedure challenging.
