Whether you’re managing a patient with aspiration pneumonia, pulmonary oedema or trauma causing haemorrhage and bruising, patients with lung disease can decompensate quickly and need intensive nursing care. Knowing what to look out for and the nursing considerations these patients need is vital - and that’s exactly what we’re discussing in this episode. We’ll be breaking down the different pulmonary diseases we see, the impact they have on our patients, and how we can manage them successfully as

In episode 71 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re following on from last week’s feline focus and taking a look at lower airway diseases in our canine counterparts. We might not see them as often, and they might appear more stable - well, most of the time - but these cases are anything but boring, requiring lots of nursing care, both in the clinic and long-term. Just like our asthmatic cats, it’s good quality nursing that makes all the difference, and to give that great care, we need to understand

In episode 70, we’re talking about some of the most difficult patients we see - dyspnoeic cats. Yep, there’s nothing like that dyspnoeic cat emergency - they arrive SO stressed, and it feels almost counterintuitive that staying AWAY from them is actually the thing that helps them most in those early stages. The majority of dyspnoeic cats we see have feline asthma - a form of lower airway disease. This disease is pretty misunderstood and is far more complex than ‘just’ being asthma, so in this

If you’ve ever seen an overweight Yorkie honking like a goose, then there’s a good chance you’ve dealt with tracheal collapse before. It’s a progressive and often challenging condition to manage and can make breathing a real struggle for our patients. But by managing these patients well and providing client education and support, we can make a significant difference to these patients. Plus, in severe cases, there are some cool interventions we can perform - and therefore skills we can use - too! In

Ever seen a Husky or a German Shepherd with sneezing, nasal discharge and a TON of fungus up their nose?! If so, then you’ll know the gross satisfaction that comes with pulling all of that out, and then packing them full of antifungals. Today, we’re rounding off our mini-series on nasal disease by diving into a relatively common condition, especially in our large dogs - fungal rhinitis. We’ll get prepared for these patients together by discussing what fungal rhinitis is, the patients we see it in,

In episode 67 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re talking all about a very common, very frustrating, and in my opinion a very under-appreciated condition - chronic rhinitis. Chronic rhinitis is one of those conditions that can easily fly under the radar - we often think lots about nursing our cat ‘flu cats for example, but there are many patients who suffer with chronic nasal disease that can significantly impact quality of life. There’s quite a bit we can do to support these patients long term,

In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re talking about a really common, commonly misunderstood and often frustrating disease - feline respiratory disease complex, aka FRDC or cat ‘flu. When I think about those ‘flu cases, I think back to sweating in PPE in a makeshift isolation room in my earlier nursing days, spending countless hours cleaning nasal discharge, creating steam baths outside of kennel doors, and tempting tiny kittens to eat. This is a disease that is MADE for nursing -

In episode 65 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’ll introduce the common nasal disorders seen, the problems they cause, and the nursing care patients with them benefit from - and then we’ll dive deeper into common nasal diseases in

If you’ve ever seen an older Labrador struggling to breathe, a Retriever making that distinctive “roaring” noise, or an older dog with noisy breathing and vocal changes, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered laryngeal paralysis. This disease - as the name suggests - affects the larynx, preventing it from opening properly and restricting airflow. In mild cases, it causes noisy breathing and exercise intolerance, but in severe cases, it leads to life-threatening respiratory obstruction. But what

In episode 63 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re tackling a big topic and increasingly common problem in practice: Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). If you’ve ever worked with a snorty Frenchie, a struggling Pug, or a Bulldog that just can’t seem to catch their breath, you’ll know first-hand the issues that BOAS can cause. This condition has become increasingly common with the rise in popularity of brachycephalic breeds. And while those squishy faces might be seen as cute, they

And this means that careful handling, supportive care and approaching these patients confidently, the right way, are absolutely essential to give them the best care and avoid complications.

And, of course - what skills can we use in the process? In episode 61 of the medical nursing podcast, I’m joined by Inge Breathnach, a PGCert and VTS holder in Oncology. Together, Inge and I are breaking down exactly how we manage these often challenging patients so you can care for them confidently in

There are a TON of different causes of constipation - and actually, it can lead to pretty significant consequences for our patients, like obstipation, megacolon, abdominal pain, vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities and much more. Giving great care to these patients includes providing appropriate nutritional support, maintaining hydration, performing enemas where needed, careful monitoring and supportive +/-

Ever seen a patient need HUGE amounts of their intestine removed because of an awful foreign body? Or an intusussception? If so, you may well have come across short bowel syndrome before (and if you haven’t, bank this info, because you’ll likely need it in the future). Short bowel syndrome is a severe disorder that occurs due to massive intestinal resection. These patients can’t absorb water, electrolytes and nutrients from their food, causing significant changes in their hydration, electrolyte and

What happens when our patient’s pancreas doesn’t work properly?! Well - they get exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, aka EPI. This is a disease where the pancreas can’t make and release digestive enzymes normally, meaning our patients don’t properly digest and absorb nutrients from their food. The result? Polyphagia, weight loss, VERY poor body condition, awful faeces and many vitamin deficiencies amongst other things… but with proper nutrition, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment, they can
