    Love seeing all the pictures of a sunny Scotland… looks amazing!

    I was back in Glasgow a few weeks ago and got more sunburned there than I do here!

    Hopefully see you soon.

    Hi Liz,

    Thanks so much for this! Sorry for the JC spoiler! 🙂

    I love your point about being pragmatic for those cases where echo just isn’t feasible. It’s that classic balance between ideal medicine and what’s actually possible in real life.

    I think this study is going to make for a great journal club discussion—looking forward to hearing more!

    Cheers,

    Scott 🙂

    Haha Sybil,

    I wouldn’t call you a first opinion dinosaur at all—more like a first opinion legend!

    And definitely not an off-topic ramble—super helpful and a good reminder for all of us to keep thinking about these nuances!

    Hey Riley,

    I hope you are well!

    That’s exactly the kind of thing I was thinking too—it’s such a tempting message (“just start pimobendan if there’s a loud murmur!”) but it risks shortcutting proper workups.

    And yes, the whole treating stage B1 dogs who don’t need it is a big one for me too—cost to the owner aside, there’s that question of pushing remodelling or hypertrophy in a heart that might have stayed stable for years.

    Really keen to see what Liz thinks too!

    Scott 🙂

    Hi Liz

    Really good point and I completely agree. The paper itself actually acknowledges that exact limitation; that decisions around euthanasia hugely influence survival data and create a self-fulfilling prophecy in primary care. You’re right that comparing first opinion and referral survival times is always going to reflect those underlying differences in client choices, resources and goals of care. It doesn’t make the disease any less grim, but it does remind us to be cautious in how we use these numbers with owners. Definitely food for thought.

    Scott 🙂

    Thanks Liz!

    I may be looking forward to the name more than the study!

    Scott 🙂
