    Thanks for this.

    Really helpful. My understanding of the guidance is clearly not where it should be… I need to get up to speed!

    Hope you are having a lovely week.

    Hey.

    Thanks for sharing. They are definitely making a big difference in our diabetic patients. I had a coupld of questions:

    1. How often are you using them in hospitalised patients?

    2. How do you find owners get on with them. Do you get them to download the app on their phone?

    Thanks Steph.

    I think that is a great point regarding maropitant… it is a safe drug!

    I was thinking about how we could construct a study to look at this… the placebo control bit is easy, but standardising cases with nasal discharge/congestion is the challenging part!

    Hello Lesley.

    I agree, some of the positive effect may just be from the slight nasal flush we are performing each time!

    I have always just used a 1ml syringe but know some colleagues will give owners the syringe attachment from the nasal kennel cough vaccine to use.

    I have also wondered about nebulising the solution, but I have no experience of doing this.

    Hello Sarah.

    Lovely to see you on the live call, I hope you enjoyed it. I am sorry I left the call so abruptly at the end… my internet went funny at just the wrong moment!

    I hope you had a lovely time away and feel recharged. I hear Santorini is beautiful. Your feed back regarding the course is very valuable. I am running a few ‘organ/system’ specific courses next year that might be of interest. Would be great to chat about content that you might find helpful. We are always keen to develop new content that is of benefit to people. Drop me an email if you have any ideas/thoughts:

    Thanks Sarah.

    Interesting points regarding the minimal effect gabapentin has on echocardiography.

    I thought your comments regarding the combination of trazodone and gabapentin were interesting. I never use these drugs in combination, especially not in cats! In fact, I don’t think I have ever used trazodone in a cat.

    Having said that, I was rounding about a case (dog) in hospital today that had been put on a combination of trazodone and gabapentin post cystotomy. I will need to have more of a think about that combination and possible contraindications/drug interactions.

    I had a question regarding how you use gabapentin in your cases. Do you prescribe gabapentin prior to seeing the case? How does that work with the new RCVS prescribing guidelines that I am not even going to pretend to understand? This is a question that came up on one of our other forums. I would be really interested to hear your thoughts.

    Thanks!

    Hey Sarah!

    The CPD is not real without a certificate. I will pass this one on to Andy to answer!

    Thanks again.

    Hello Rosanna.

    Great to have you here. I hope you enjoyed the first session. The live session will be recorded next week, so you should be able to watch this back. You also have plenty of time to watch the recordings, so take your time!

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hey Sarah.

    Yes, maropitant does seem to have a number of mystical and undetermined properties.

    The data seems to vary regarding visceral analgesic properties etc. I must admit I do use it in these very chronically congested cats with some positive effect. Could simply be the positive effect of flushing the nasal cavity!

    I was thinking of setting up a panel discussion on the topic:

    “Maropitant… magic or not?”

    Other title suggestions on a postcard please?! 🙂

    Scott
