Immunosuppressives
BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2025Authors: Alison Ridyard and Ian RamseyThis session will discuss the general and specific use of immunosuppressive drugs. Although glucocorticoids are normally the first choice for the treatment of many immune-mediated diseases, non-steroidal immunosuppressive therapy is often also required to achieve lasting remission while minimizing steroid-associated side effects. These treatments can be expensive, risky to owners and animals, and require careful management. Proper case selection is essential, which involves a properly confirmed diagnosis, informed owner consent, and a structured monitoring plan. Immunosuppressive therapy should begin promptly once indicated, rather than as a last resort. Selection of the most appropriate treatment is based on evidence from the literature, textbooks and personal experience. Doses in textbooks provide a useful starting point, but each case is different and individualized titration and monitoring are needed. Many of these drugs have specific handling requirements and this includes the careful separation/disposal of excreta. BSAVA members can access client information leaflets (CIL) for guidance.

Reproduction control: what’s the latest evidence?
BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2025Authors: Gary England and Rachel MoxonThere are several options for contraception of female dogs and there are strong opinions relating to which method is optimal. Over recent decades, new evidence has emerged about the health risks of removing gonads and the optimal age or pubertal status that this might best be performed. There has also been increased discussion about the risk of iatrogenic pseudopregnancy and whether bitches with pseudopregnancy can safely be sterilised. More information has become available about long-duration contraceptive agents and this further complicates the options that are available to veterinary practitioners.
This session will explore these topics using basic endocrinological concepts and recent studies to provide a foundation for clinical decision-making in individual animals.
