    Good news, LLoyd’s owner said his stool was normal when I checked in earlier this week to discuss further recommendations with her. He is currently on his initial diet that the O had been using prior to the start of the diarrhea. It is a Grain Free diet by Taste of the Wild Brand.

    When would be best to transition him to a more nutritionally balanced diet to aid him with gaining back a better BCS and weight and avoiding any negative effects of a grain free diet? How long of a transition would be best?

    Thanks as always,
    Raquel

    Thanks again and yes I will keep you up to date! I’m also trying to find ways to introduce the idea of not using metronidazole as the first option in acute cases of uncomplicated diarrhea in the clinic. That’s the standard for most vets on island. Do you have any thoughts on how best it is to bring that up to my colleagues? I’ve newly joined the clinic so I’m trying to be careful with how I approach it.

    That’s great! Thanks so much as always and yes we do have Purina HA available on island ! And yes that all makes complete sense. I’ll repeat the panacur and speak to her about the other options.

    I had the owner using the Purina score chart but I’ll need to follow up with compliance as I’ve been off for a bit on holiday 🙂

    Thank you so much! Also, how often would you recommend for the refractometer to be calibrated?

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks very ouch as always! That is great information.

    I’ve heard of urine dipstick strips that use the pattern of the color change for the Blood parameter to determine RBC vs hemoglobin or myoglobin so I was curious to know your thoughts on it.

    Thanks again!

    I’m doing well. Hope you are also! Thank you so much, that’s perfect. That’s what I was always taught. We have a few students who were vet techs in North America before coming to our vet school. They hadn’t ever heard of avoiding the hamstring muscles in cats and dogs when it came to I/M injections so I was wondering if it’s not that well-known of a practice.

    Do you recommend aspirating each side of the chest?

    That would be great! We often do as the specialist teaching is done by visiting professors. I can email you with more details.

    Hi Scott,
    Thanks! Yes I’m at the vet school here in the Cayman Islands. It’s an off shore one that prepares students for the NAVLE Exams so typically American and Canadian students. I’m part of the Clinical Skills team.

    Which is why learning platforms like this are such a blessings to be online. Thanks again for all of your inspirational posts on IG also. Comforting when the vet community has so much support ❤️

    Thanks again! Would be interested to hear what you think. I’ll email it to you.
    -yes I couldn’t find it anywhere but from this source that my colleague mentions.

    I actually meant to post that question about ondansetron separately but hopefully it would be ok here. So my colleague had read in another veterinary discussion forum that the max daily dose for big dogs shouldn’t exceed 8mg of the drug per day. Have you heard of this?
