    Kelly!

    It is such a joy to see you here. Thank you so much for all of your support!

    I think the financial element is really important. I started my career working at the PDSA in the UK and I am so grateful for that experience. Just because you have all the money and fancy things in the world, does not mean it is the right thing for every patient!

    Let us know if you have any questions at anytime!

    Scott 🙂

    We are so lucky to get to work with you.

    Looking forward to sharing the feline love!

    Hello!

    Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Thank you for sending on the information by email.

    I have a feeling that this recommendation come from the fact that people will have observed that dogs may not require higher than the 8mg total dose. I am not able to find any literature to support this. Most of the studies will use a mg/kg dose.

    Let me send this question to a few other specialist pals and see if I can get any more information for you!

    Thanks again for the question.

    Scott 🙂

    Hey Liz.

    I feel so inadequate when I look at echocardiography images… I often see problems that are not there and miss really obvious problems that are!!!

    Was this murmur picked up completely incidentally? Were there any other clinical signs?

    Scott 🙂

    This is so interesting Liz!

    Thanks for sharing, I suppose my question is, how gentle is gentle pressure?!

    I my head you would have to push quite hard to generate a murmur! What is your practical experience of this? Should we be cautious when examining cats generally?

    Scott 🙂

    Hey Helen.

    Thank you for sharing these brilliant resources. I love the incivility cards. Really easy, practical tools to help in some tricky situations.

    I am working at a practice this week that has some incivility sign posts on the notice boards etc. I am not a fan of a poster on the wall being a substitute for appropriate leadership, but I think these things can act as reminders.

    What are your thoughts on posters on walls?!

    Hello Lauren.

    I am sadly not able to help with the cardiology question, I just wanted to say that I love your profile photo!

    Very cardiology abstract!

    Really pleased to hear you are enjoying the course!

    HAHAHAH!

    This might confuse me further,. My main question would be:

    If we were to prescribe these products for dogs and cats, is there a recommended formula. Is this something that we can actually sell in veterinary practice?

    Natalie!

    18 years… I feel like there should be an award for that service.

    I hope the course provides some new insights. It is really great of you to join us.

    I feel like we will have lots to learn from you too!

    Hello Natalie!

    I am glad you enjoyed the session. I will save this question for the live Q&A if that is OK… will make sure to ask Harry lots of other fluid related questions too!!!

    Hope you are having a lovely week.

    Scott 🙂

    It is so difficult to fit it all in!

    I am back on clinics at the moment and struggling to find enough hours in the day!

    Good question.

    I have never heard of this limitation in dose. I would normally give 0.5-1mg/kg q8-12 hours. Most of the studies dose in this way without any top in dose per day as far as I am aware:

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35899472/

    Could you find the original source of this? Would be interested to look in to it more.

    Hey Fran.

    We did touch on this a little at the live Q&A. It is a great question. The exact epidemiology of lung worm in Scotland is not exactly determined. It is definitely more of a problem than when I first graduated. Seems to be more prevalent in Glasgow than the east, but I would keep it on my list of DDX for sure up your way!

    I am always a fan of 5-7 days of fenbendazole in my my respiratory cases just in case!

    Hope that helps.

    Scott 🙂
