    Thanks Louise!

    What is this witchcraft with the HA dust?! Does that work well?

    The HA does not come in a wet form for cats? DO you find the wet HA for dogs blends well?

    I learned recently that the RC liquid diets are not actually palatable. Great for going down NG tubes but not great for offering orally.

    Hello Louise.

    Thank you so much for joining the course!

    I wrote an article about triaditis in cats a few years back with Danielle Gunn-Moore. Was a bit of a fan girl moment for me! I have popped the link here if you are interested. A bit of bedtime reading!

    Hi Hannah,

    Thank you for contributing to the discussion. It’s encouraging to hear how follow-up emails are enhancing client engagement by reinforcing information discussed in consultations. Providing a written summary indeed fosters trust and helps clients better understand the rationale behind diagnostic tests and treatments.

    Your approach of including an email footer with availability details and reminders about contacting reception is an excellent strategy for managing expectations. It’s a professional way to establish boundaries and guide clients on communication channels.

    I use a dictation software called Talkatoo, which allows me to dictate directly onto the computer using a microphone. It has been a valuable tool for transcribing conversations and maintaining accurate records. I also often dictate into ChatGPT to help refine and clarify my thoughts—especially when they’re a bit scattered!

    Thank you again for sharing your insights.

    Best regards,

    Scott

    Hey Rachel.

    What has been your experience with the Libre devices?

    Good generally?

    Hey Laura!

    What an interesting case! Thank you for sharing. I think this highlights all the places they can bleed, including those that we don’t often see initially. Did you consider tranexamic acid use in this case?

    I used to use tranexamic acid in urinary bleeding cases, but there is some discussion in human medicine that this could possibly cause clots to form in the ureters and cause obstruction. Not sure how much we have to worry about that!

    Thanks again for sharing!

    Scott 🙂

    Really interesting!

    Is this something that clients can do at home if they do it in the correct way?

    A ‘once in a career’ case I think!

    They can be quite tricky to manage, so I would be happy not to see another!

    I think that is a great point!

    Clients will often prefer one method of communication over another… and we have to be flexible in this day and age when there are many more ways we can communicate!

    Of the 100’s of animals I have given truck loads of steroid to… this is the first time I have ever seen that!

    Hi Keri,

    I’m so glad to hear the positive progress with this little guy! It’s amazing how rapidly these cats can respond to the antiviral treatment—truly game-changing for FIP. And yes, I’m right there with you on the naming issue with GS-441524! 😆

    The fact that his weight has stabilized and his pyrexia resolved so quickly is very encouraging, and it sounds like the treatment plan is working beautifully. It’s such a huge shift from the days when we had no viable options and FIP was almost always a heartbreaking diagnosis. Like you, I’m in awe of how far we’ve come in being able to offer hope to these cases.

    I’ll be keeping fingers crossed for continued improvement, and I’d love to hear how his recheck goes. Always happy to help where I can, so keep me posted as things move forward.

    Take care and speak soon,

    Scott

    FYI

    Production of FB water

    The water containing high-density FB was prepared using the FB shower head (ReFa FINE BUBBLE S MTG Co.; Figure 1) The device uses air supplied to tap water to produce FB with bubble sizes ≥100 μm.
