90 Life after graduation Nov 09, 2018

Show notes

In the studio and with better audio now that Brian is recording this time, we are joined a year later by a previous RVC graduate Dave Beeston. We follow up on Dave’s transition into being a professional and find out if he still cooks once a week to prepare all his meals. He continues to be involved in a variety of different things and no doubt he will have his own podcast shortly. Makes me think what have I done in the last year? Not sure that we will continue as long as Michael Apted following Dave, but we will try to get him back next year. Dave will be back writing his column in the Vet Times in the new year. We hope that you enjoy.

89 Hypoglycaemia Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

Back in the studio with Brian and we are joined by Laura Cole, one of our final year residents in Emergency and Critical Care here at the RVC. Laura worked in small animal private practice for a number of years before she completed a rotating internship with us at the RVC and stayed on to have further clinical training in ECC. She wrote an article for the Vet Times on hypoglycaemia and thought that it would be good to have a chat about it. We’ve hit 88 podcasts, 88 miles per hour allowed for time travel, not sure we are there yet. We hope that you enjoy.

87 Feline IBD and lymphoma Oct 12, 2018

Show notes

Forced out of the studio, we find ourselves in Brian’s office. We are lucky enough to have Sarah Stewart join us who is one of our staff clinicians in internal medicine and oncology here at the RVC. She did her training at the AMC in New York and has a great approach to managing cases, and one of her passions which spans both internal medicine and oncology is the approach to cats we suspect have IBD or lymphoma. We hope that you enjoy.
