Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

Joining us on the podcast we are delighted to have the fabulous Dr Rebekah Donaldson. Dr Donaldson, who completed her emergency and critical care specialist training at the RVC, is now working at Queensland Veterinary Specialists on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. We thought we would stay in the Southern hemisphere for this podcast and talk about tick paralysis. From presentation to treatment, we hope that you enjoy.

Joining us on the podcast we are delighted to have the amazing Dr Claire Sharp. Claire is Associate Professor at Murdoch University (Perth, Australia) and has such a wide range of academic interests we could talk to her about anything from trauma to sepsis, coagulation to CPR but we thought we would have an antipodean chat about snake envenomation. From clinical presentation, to tips on treatment recommendations as well as what the future holds, we hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in a room on campus, we are delighted to have Professor Richard Meeson join us. Richard is one of our fantastic orthopaedic surgeons here at the RVC. We thought we’d ask him some questions separating the fact from the fiction in osteoarthritis. The reason we are not in the studio is that it might not look so good visually, and yes if you are keen you can watch this as a video podcast. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in our studio we are delighted to have Dr Catriona Jenkinson join us. Catriona is one of our fantastic internal medicine residents here at the RVC. Cat gave a talk to the hospital on erythrocytosis and thought that it would have interest to a wider audience, not a common condition, though how often can you prescribe a course of leeches? We hope that you enjoy.
