Today, we’re talking about quite possibly the worst GI disease of them all - parvovirus. Yep, these patients are often a winning combination of tiny, horrifically behind on fluids, poorly tolerant of nutrition and dealing with severe gastrointestinal signs. There’s a lot we need to do to support these patients, and we’re diving into all of it in this episode. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast --- 🖥️ Learn more

In episode 52 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re talking all about managing GI ulcers. From simple NSAID overdoses to patients with nasty ulcerative chronic GI diseases, we see this disease more often than you might think - and in severe cases these patients can present with marked anaemia from GI blood loss, (even requiring transfusions) or gastrointestinal perforation and sepsis! Today, we’re diving in to what causes GI ulceration, the impact it has on our patients, and the four things we can do

Gastric dilation-volvulus (GDV) patients are often a real challenge to nurse. They’re often severely unwell on presentation and there is a high risk of postoperative complications. But there are also lots of skills we get to use when caring for these patients! Giving them great care starts with understanding how GDVs occur and their impact on our patients, which is exactly what we’ll be diving into in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s

In episode 50 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re talking about one of the most challenging oesophageal disorders to manage - oesophageal foreign bodies. Patients with oesophageal foreign bodies can vary from being well at the time of presentation to ones with significant, chronic obstructions where patients are significantly unwell at the time of presentation. Removal is risky, and complications like pneumothorax are very real, but by understanding the primary considerations for these patients,

Ever seen a megaoesophagus patient before? These patients can be really tough to nurse - they’ve often got severe regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia, and alongside assisting with diagnosis and providing nutritional support, need intensive respiratory support too. Giving great care to these patients starts with understanding what megaoesophagus is, the types we see, and how we treat and nurse these patients - which is exactly what we’re talking about in episode 49 of the Medical Nursing Podcast

Let me ask you this. Who does the blood transfusions in your practice? The vets? Or the nurses? Yes, it will be us monitoring the patient and collecting the vitals, but who… Calculates the blood? Prepares it? Performs the donations? Cares for the donors? If it’s not the nurses, I’m going to suggest it should be - because there’s no reason for us not to do all of these things (as long as we run our plan past the vets and ensure they agree before going ahead!)

Got a young patient who just won’t stop bleeding from their microchip site, vaccine site, or gingiva after deciduous tooth loss? There’s a good chance they have a coagulopathy. We see two types of coagulopathy in practice - congenital and acquired - and it’s those congenital ones we’re discussing today. It’s important we pick up on these as soon as possible in the patient’s life, to prevent severe haemorrhage at the time of neutering or during other procedures. Identifying congenital coagulopathies

Picture this: you’re on the admit shift on a Tuesday morning, and your next patient is a 6-month-old Doberman for routine neutering. Is there anything you’d be particularly worried about before surgery? Is there anything you’d discuss with the client or any tests you’d speak to your vet about? Dobermans are a classic breed affected by von Willebrand’s disease, which is a disease that sits somewhere between thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. If they have it, bleeding is a very real risk. Thankfully,

The patient is a 6-year-old cocker spaniel, and they’ve got a history of lethargy and exercise intolerance, progressing to melena, haematuria and bruising in the last 2 days. You examine them with the vet and find they’re dull, tachycardic and have bounding pulses. What’s going on, and most importantly, what are you going to do about it? Well - they

When I say ‘IMHA’, what comes to mind? For me, it’s the most challenging case I have ever cared for: a patient who had such severe anaemia that their jaundice made them neurological, earning them a few days on a propofol CRI due to seizures. Whilst not every IMHA case is like this—thankfully—these patients do need intensive nursing care and monitoring, and with this, there are many skills we can use when caring for them. But to do that, we first need to understand IMHA, how it affects our patients,

How often do you look at blood smears in practice - and how confident do you feel looking at what you see? Blood smears are an excellent skill for us to learn as nurses - there’s no reason we can’t look at these, identify normal and abnormal cells, and perform cell counts! It’s not ‘just a vet’s job’, and the only way to feel more confident knowing what you’re looking at is to look at more and more smears and get comfortable with what’s normal and what isn’t. But before we start looking at smears,

Ever heard of a pheochromocytoma before? Nor had I before I walked into referral… but in all honesty, they’re some of the riskiest cases we see. These can be scary, as they randomly secrete sometimes large volumes of adrenaline and noradrenaline - causing life-threatening tachycardia and hypertension. They’re especially challenging cases when it comes to surgery - and we’ll chat all about why that is, and how we manage these cases, in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. --- 📲 Grab the show

Though we don’t see these as commonly as other endocrine diseases, it’s still really important we understand these disorders - especially hypoparathyroidism, which can cause life-threatening hypocalcaemia.

Hyperthyroidism is the most common endocrinopathy seen in cats, so we know we will be treating and nursing these patients very commonly. But to do that effectively, we need to understand what hyperthyroidism is and how it affects our patients. And that’s exactly what we’ll be discussing in this episode of the
