What a joy to see you here. Thank you so much for joining the course!!!! I love the idea of wellbeing plans too! Steph, in your lecture you seemed to use a framework for these wellbeing plans. Are there templates avaiable for us to construct a wellbeing plan?
This is a great question! Can you remember how you were measuring this in-house? There were some issues with the in-house IDEXX cortisol. There is an old (OLD) SNAP reader and an old SNAPshot made by IDEXX. Neither of these are available at the moment so there are currently no in-house cortisol options for IDEXX. Neither of these machines are on sale, so if they have one, they can order consumables, if they don’t have the machine, they can’t get one because they were discontinued. These tests have some limitations, including a significant positive bias, so not great for Addison’s.
I think you are right. It is the system we are checking. I also feel so much more comfortable now about looking at the system when mistakes are made and not pointing fingers at the person.
I am glad you enjoyed the reading. I am also glad to hear you are not doing too many faecal cultures!
Monitoring treatment success for Giardia is recommended only in patients with persistent clinical signs and should be done by detection of Giardia cystson fecal flotation (ideally on a 3-day pooled sample). Testing as early as 24-48 hours but no more than 5 days after finishing the course of treatment might be helpful to differentiate between re-infection and persistent infection. I would not re-test if they go back to normal.
Thank you for your kind feedback… it is really helpful! I am so glad you have enjoyed the format.
