Hello Marit!
Lovely to hear from you! I am glad you have found some time to finish the course.
The numbers vary a little depending on what study you look at. I was referencing an average. This study is quite helpful:

Hope that helps.

Hello Raquel!
I hope you mangaed to join and enjoyed the session.
Question is… will you use prazosin?

That is really helpful Liz.
I have a similar approach, I just wanted to make sure I was not missing a trick!

Hello.
Hope you are well. The dog is still alive and had an ACTH stimulation test… very Addisonian!
I was just so shocked that the potassium was a real result! Good outcome for dog though!
Scott 🙂
Thank you for sharing this Kerry.
Really helpful.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Q&A!

Hello Kelly!
I am so sorry about the delay in getting back to you! No idea how I missed this!
Never a stupid question. I think they explain it well here:
The big question is whether to mix the blood from the cavity with anticoagulant? Some people do and some don’t. If it has been in there for more than 20-30 mins all the clotting factors will be gone anyway!
Hope that helps.

HAHA!
Interestingly not. I think this is due to the fact that we can ask humans to get a fairly clean mid stream sample.
Summarised well in one of my favourite pet blogs:

Hello Raquel.
I hope you are well and enjoyionying the course.
Yes. I maybe did not word this very well. Often you will get a significant growth of one organism from a free catch. Even in that senario, the significance is still questionable.
The frustrating situation is the one you mention, mixed bacterial growth from a free catch. This indicates upwards of 10 colonies and the lab has no way of saying which are significant.
Hope that helps.
Scott 🙂
