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!
Scott 🙂

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:
https://www.vettimes.co.uk/how-to-do-an-autotransfusion/
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.

Thanks for sharing. I will try that out! Does this work on children too!

Hello everyone.
Liz, Andy and I are still decompressing from LVS! It was a brilliant experience for us, we are so pleased so many people came by the stand.
Do let us know if you made it along to the stand, and more importantly if you got your illustration on the wall.
Thanks again for all of the support.
Scott x
