    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?

    Thanks Scott as always! I’m well. Hope you are also. Work has been so hectic that I haven’t had time to be here as much but looking forward to signing up for more courses. 😁

    What dosages for ondansetron in dogs and cats is everyone using?

    Thanks Scott and yes agreed I’ll let everyone at the clinic know to avoid diluting if we can.
    It can be difficult. Sometimes due to finding the right supplier and sometimes due to organizational issues within the practice. Thanks for asking 🙂

    Also I’ve not noticed if refrigeration helps or not. If it’s no diluted then it still seems to sting regardless. My techs have reported that it stings given iv also.

    Hi Scott,
    Thanks for your quick reply. I actually used the prevomax brand solely when I was at a clinic in the UK. It’s apparently formulated to be less stingy. The bottle wasn’t refrigerated or diluted. I noticed that a few animals did find it painful but it wasn’t a common reaction.
    https://thevet.group/blogs/news/maropitant-with-less-sting-prevomax-from-dechra
    At the clinic I’m at now. We dilute it routinely with sterile water. I think some may use LRS or nacl 0.9%. I have seen techs here administer it along the same line that they use to give SA fluids(LRS, nacl or plasma lyte).
    We had the prevomax brand in it at one point but I don’t think it was stocked long enough to compare to the cerenia in terms of how often pets had a pain reaction on injection to it. Not always easy to get certain brands from our suppliers onto islands! I’ll find out if we can get prevomax brand in again.

    Thanks,
    Raquel

    Also, is cystocentesis recommended as the gold standard for urine culture in people also? Just curious.
