Unfortunately, we know that transfusions can increase hospital cost ...
The effect of antivenom on hospitalization duration andamp; treatment in dogs | VETgirl Veterinary CE Podcasts
April 18, 2016 06:00 - 13 minutes - 9.54 MBIn today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we review the use of antivenom in dogs. Is it worth the $500/bottle? How many bottles should we use?

March 21, 2016 06:00 - 7 minutes - 9.54 MBHow do you like to treat blocked cats in your practice? Do you have an opinion about the use of decompressive cystocentesis (DC)? If you aren't familiar with it, this procedure involves performing cystocentesis in cats with urethral obstruction (UO) prior to placement of a urinary catheter. Some argue that it makes patients comfortable more quickly by relieving bladder distention, and also makes it easier to pass a urinary catheter due to reduced back pressure. Others feel strongly that decom...

Most of us know that the majority of spontaneous hemoperitoneums are due to bleeding splenic masses (malignant or not), and if you're dealing with a hemangiosarcoma, the long term prognosis isn't great. But have you thought about what factors might be associated with a worse perioperative outcome (for example, from the time of admission for the bleed through surge...

After all, it's usually easier to get a dog to eat the charcoal if you mix it with some palatable food with poisoning cases, right? Well, have you ever wondered about the effect of that food on the adsorptive capacity of the charcoal? Will it decrease its efficacy in terms of helping to eliminate that toxin from your patient's system?

You found a bleeding splenic mass and removed it, and now you're trying to decide if you should do a prophylactic gastropexy. Sounds familiar, right? Well, there are actually some theories out there that suggest ...

Definitive treatment usually carries a good prognosis and consists of attenuation of flow acro...

Pulmonary hypertension in dogs with Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease | VETgirl Veterinary CE Podcasts

Acid-base and electrolyte abnormalities seen in dogs with GI foreign bodies | VETgirl Veterinary CE Podcasts
July 27, 2015 06:00 - 6 minutes - 9.54 MBIn today's VETgirl podcast, we review the importance of performing a venous blood gas in the vomiting patient. Why? Because when we see a hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, we should be ruling out an obstructive gastrointestinal (GI) foreign body. Previously, the presence of a metabolic alkalosis has been associated with a upper GI (e.g., pyloric) foreign body. Why? Because of protracted vomiting and loss of chloride, which deletes the body of an anion. In order to maintain elect...
