    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 Kathryn.

    Thank you so much for your brilliant questions… as always!

    I will chat through some of these at the Q&A tomorrow… regarding the dosing for Sivomixx/Vivomixx… I have popped below:

    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!

    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.

    Scott 🙂

    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!
