IDEXX topic of the month: Approach to coagulopathies
BSAVA Webinar LibraryIn this webinar we discuss the approach to the patient with a bleeding disorder. A logical diagnostic approach to a coagulopathy is essential to reach a diagnosis promptly and to ensure the correct treatment can be initiated quickly, as affected patients can present in a critical condition. Primary haemostasis involves the formation of a blood clot by the action of platelets and secondary haemostasis results in the formation of a fibrin clot through the activation of clotting factors. Primary haemostatic disorders are associated with reduced platelet numbers (thrombocytopenia) or a functional platelet defect (thrombocytopathia) and usually present with petechial haemorrhages or mucosal haemorrhages. Secondary haemostatic disorders can be congenital or acquired and are more likely to present with intra-cavitary haemorrhages. This webinar is provided by BSAVA Education Partner IDEXX.

IDEXX topic of the month: Approach to the feline icteric patient
BSAVA Webinar LibraryThis webinar will guide us through the diagnostic approach of the ‘yellow cat’, mentioning some of the fascinating particularities of the feline species. Whilst icterus can be a very noticeable clinical sign that is straightforward to identify, it is not pathognomonic of a specific disease. Understanding bilirubin metabolism is indispensable in classifying icterus and building the differential diagnosis list which will guide the investigations. As we all are very aware, cats are not small dogs! Their metabolic and anatomical characteristics impact the type of pathology we observe in practice. Amongst other differences, cats are strict carnivores and are less adaptable when protein intake decreases. Their common bile duct joins the pancreatic duct before entering the duodenum, which may increase the risk of ascending bacterial infection. Feline characteristics are also important to bear in mind when interpreting blood and urine laboratorial analysis. This webinar is provided by BSAVA Education Partner IDEXX.

IDEXX topic of the month: Canine brucellosis: what you need to know
BSAVA Webinar LibraryCanine brucellosis is an infectious and zoonotic disease caused by a bacterium called Brucella canis which is highly contagious between dogs. This disease is uncommonly encountered in the UK and is a reportable disease. Due to the increase in numbers of dogs being imported into the UK from Eastern Europe, where the infection is endemic, the risk of this disease in the UK is increasing, and the first reported case of dog to human transmission has now been reported. Brucellosis in dogs can cause reproductive signs including abortion and infertility, but many animals may be asymptomatic. The greatest risk of exposure is contact with aborted tissue or reproductive fluids. This short webinar discusses the clinical presentation, available diagnostic tests and treatment options for this emerging infectious disease.

IDEXX topic of the month: Canine leishmania - a quick guide
BSAVA Webinar LibraryCanine leishmania is a vector borne disease caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum and transmitted by sand flies. Leishmania infantum is endemic in many parts of southern Europe. The sand fly vector is not currently present in the UK, but despite this, the disease is being identified more and more frequently, due to the large number of imported dogs being brought into the UK from mainland Europe. Clinical disease results from an inappropriate and ineffective immune response to the parasite. A wide variety of clinical signs can be present which may include exfoliative dermatitis, lymphadenopathy and weight loss. In this webinar we will focus on the clinical approach to the patient with suspected Leishmaniasis and provide a brief overview of treatment options and recommendations for monitoring response to treatment.

IDEXX topic of the month: Canine lymphoid-leukaemia
BSAVA Webinar LibraryCanine lymphoid leukaemia is a relatively common lymphoproliferative disease in dogs. A definitive diagnosis and classification based on degree of cell maturation is crucial to stablish appropriate therapy and providing an accurate prognosis. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) has a very reasonable prognosis with survivals ranging from 1-3 years with minimal therapy while acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has short lived responses to multiagent chemotherapeutic protocols, with survivals of barely 3-5 months. The diagnostic process is much more straightforward these days as after an initial haematology and blood smear evaluation, flow cytometry often allows diagnosis in peripheral blood if high circulating numbers of neoplastic cells are present. This technique aids in differentiating acute from chronic leukaemia and even provides prognostic information for CLL as B cell types have shorter survivals as well as those dogs with leukemic immunophenotypic aberrant profiles.

IDEXX topic of the month: Diagnosing feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)
BSAVA Webinar LibraryFeline leukaemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus of domestic cats worldwide. Cats lacking strong FeLV-specific immunity and undergoing progressive infection commonly develop fatal FeLV-associated disease. Many aspects of FeLV infection pathogenesis have been elucidated, some during more recent years using molecular techniques. It is recommended that the FeLV status of every cat is known, since FeLV infection can influence the prognosis and clinical management of every sick cat. Knowledge of a cat’s FeLV status is of epidemiological importance to prevent further spread of the infection. The question is… how often are you testing for this important disease? Diagnosing FeLV infection remains challenging due to the different outcomes of infection, which can vary over time depending on the balance between the virus and the host’s immune system. Furthermore, testing for FeLV infection has become more refined over the years and now includes diagnostic assays for different viral and immunological parameters. The question is… which test is best and when? This webinar presents recent knowledge on FeLV pathogenesis, key features to be determined in FeLV infection, and frequently used FeLV detection methods, and their characteristics and interpretation.

IDEXX topic of the month: Diagnostic approach to infectious diseases
BSAVA Webinar LibraryInfectious diseases are common differentials for many of our clinical cases. While most are caused by obligate infectious agents, some can be caused by opportunistic infections. Different infectious agents means that different diagnostic tests may be appropriate to diagnose them (e.g. not all infectious agents are easily cultured); stage of infection, burden of infection and host factors may also influence choice of tests. More than one test my be required to confirm infection, and screening tests may require confirmatory tests or auxiliary tests to confirm infection. This creates a myriad of choices of tests that may be challenging to navigate, and to interpret when conflicting results are obtained from different diagnostic tests for the same patient. Optimal diagnostic outcome also depends on the quality of the submitted sample. In this overview webinar we will briefly discuss different laboratory tests available for diagnosis of infectious disease, general interpretation guidelines and sample requirements.

IDEXX topic of the month: increased SDMA on pre-anaesthetic testing
BSAVA Webinar LibraryPre-anesthetic testing is performed to assess the baseline systemic health of animals prior to sedation or anesthesia associated with a procedure. It is intended to screen for dysfunction and disease and determine that anesthesia is safe or if abnormalities help determine the significance and/or need for further investigation. Kidney are one of the major organ systems screened by pre-anesthetic testing. Over the past 5 years advances in biomarkers, specifically SDMA, has led to additional flagging on preanesthetic profiles. This brief talk will directly address choosing populations for preanesthetic screening, and how to address specific scenarios where SDMA is increased. There are several straightforward paths for action with mild increases in SDMA (15-19 μg/dL) and moderate and severe increases (>20 μg/dL). In pairing with clinical context, patient need, and client personality there are simple steps that can give the surgeon a clear medical direction for most patients’ anesthesia.

IDEXX topic of the month: Interpreting MIC reports
BSAVA Webinar LibraryAntimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) results are commonly used in practice to help guide antimicrobial therapy. AST results are reported qualitatively (S/I/R) and quantitatively, more commonly expressed as MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration). This webinar explains MICs, what is a clinical breakpoint, how the numbers are obtained and how to interpret these using examples from IDEXX reports. It also discusses why you might not receive an MIC result for every antimicrobial-organism-site combination, limitations of clinical breakpoints and limitations with interpreting these results. The choice of antimicrobial should not be based on the MIC at face value, but should also consider how that value relates to clinical breakpoint, site of infection, patient factors, etc. Difficult cases may still require a discussion with the microbiology lab and specialists, repeat sample testing and expanded antimicrobial testing.

IDEXX topic of the month: Islands in the stream? Urinary crystals, casts and more
BSAVA Webinar LibraryUrinalysis can be a time-consuming job in-house, requiring a functional microscope, a centrifuge, and staff with both the time and expertise to perform a sediment exam. Ideally urine samples should be analysed with 1-2 hours of voiding to increase confidence in results. Delay in analysis can lead to changes in temperature or pH which can lead to precipitation of crystals, which can subsequently lead to potential misdiagnosis and inappropriate decisions regarding case management. This webinar will help you become more confident in your interpretation of urine sediment examination (including identification of crystals, epithelial cells and casts).

IDEXX topic of the month: Lymphoma prognosis and therapy
BSAVA Webinar LibraryDisease free intervals (DFI) of 252 days are achieved with CHOP protocols and of 147 days with short COP type. Median survival times (MST) in DLBCL are independent of the induction protocol as long as rescue therapy including doxorubicin is used at relapse. Peripheral T-cell LSAs and lymphoblastic T-cell LSAs are often doxorubicin resistant; with alkylating agent-based protocols like MOPP, LOPP o VELCAP-TSC remission times (175-200 days) are longer than with CHOP. Indolent T-zone LSAs have a favourable prognosis with TSM ranging from 21.2 to 33.5 months without therapy or with chlorambucil and prednisolone.

IDEXX topic of the month: Playing your part in antimicrobial stewardship
BSAVA Webinar LibraryAntimicrobial resistant infections are an increasing challenge in both human and veterinary medicine. Various multi-drug resistant organisms have emerged in healthcare settings and are no longer an uncommon finding in small animal practice. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is driven, at least in part, by antimicrobial use (both appropriate and inappropriate). Every time we prescribe an antimicrobial we may be contributing towards development of AMR, so we have the responsibility to do so only when appropriate – by selecting the optimal drug regime, dose, duration of therapy and route of administration and, when possible, ensure this is supported by culture and antimicrobial susceptibility results. Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) aims to improve and facilitate the appropriate use of antimicrobials. It should be a continuous improvement cycle, not an end point exercise. In this short webinar we will point you to different and varied resources that will help you start or further develop an antimicrobial stewardship programme in your practice.

IDEXX topic of the month: The patient has uroliths - what should I do?
BSAVA Webinar LibraryUrolithiasis is an all too common concern in companion animal practice, with identification of urolith type proving key to management recommendations that reduce recurrence in dogs and cats. IDEXX Internal Medicine Consultant, Michelle Evason, says that patients with urolithiasis frequently present with signs of lower urinary tract inflammation (e.g. haematuria, dysuria), due to urolith mucosal irritation and often concurrent infection, with the most common urolith types being struvite and calcium oxalate. Initiation of timely therapy plans based on diagnostics, urolith analysis, culture and susceptibility, and the latest research, aids immediate management and targets ongoing prevention. IDEXX offers cutting edge urolithiasis analysis, with expanded services in 2022 to include urolith culture and susceptibility testing.

IDEXX topic of the month: Where to start with the vomiting dog?
BSAVA Webinar LibraryVomiting is one of the most common presenting problems seen in practice. Acute vomiting can be self-limiting but, on the other side of the spectrum, it may be due to a life-threatening disease for which medical management and/or surgical treatment is essential. When presented with a patient with acute vomiting, it can be challenging to decide whether a specific patient should be prescribed supportive treatment alone or whether that patient should also have further diagnostic tests performed. This webinar highlights some of the circumstances that might point towards the need of further diagnostic tests in patients with acute-onset vomiting. However, even if a patient seems clinically stable and is deemed to only need supportive treatment at one-point, clinical deterioration may ensue, and further testing may later be needed.

IDEXX topic of the month: Why is this cat anaemic?
BSAVA Webinar LibraryIDEXX Internal Medicine Consulting team has seen an increased call volume relating to cats in the UK with pancytopenia; this surge is currently being investigated by specialist vets at the Royal Veterinary College in London. IDEXX Internal Medicine Consultant Dr Yvonne McGrotty states “Affected cats may present with signs of inappetence, lethargy, pallor, pyrexia and spontaneous mucosal bleeding. The mortality rate associated with this condition is high and an effective treatment is currently unknown. Clinicopathological findings usually include severe leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and anaemia.” The cause of this spike in cases has not been fully elucidated to date, but a potential link to mycotoxins (naturally occurring toxins produced by some types of fungi) in certain foodstuffs is being investigated further, along with other possible toxins. Pancytopenia cases have so far been linked to a single food manufacturer and three brands of food have been recalled as a result. Full details of the recall are available on the Food Standards Agency website, however the FSA have recently stated that they have been unable to establish a causative link between the recalled foods and the pancytopenia outbreak. Sick cats, or cats that are known to have eaten any of the recalled foods, can be screened by performing a complete blood count, including film examination. Vets who believe that they have identified a potential case are being urged to complete a survey on the RVC website to help vets there to identify common factors, which might ultimately assist them in determining the underlying cause. BSAVA Education Partner IDEXX has provided this webinar by Yvonne McGrotty to explain more about anaemia in cats. A collection of IDEXX ‘topic of the month’ webinars is available here.

Petsavers Ageing Canine Toolkit
BSAVA Webinar LibraryCarrie Westgarth and Zoe Belshaw discuss the new BSAVA PetSavers Ageing Canine Toolkit. BSAVA PetSavers funded the Old Age Pets project at the University of Liverpool aiming to help vets and owners provide the best care for senior dogs. The research showed that it can be difficult for owners to know what ‘normal’ age-related changes are or whether signs indicate possible disease that would benefit from veterinary advice and treatment. Key findings from the study were therefore used to develop a traffic light colour-coded checklist to help owners know whether to seek advice from a veterinary practice and to guide discussions during consultations. The Ageing Canine Toolkit leaflet includes several copies of this checklist and information about the more common health problems affecting ageing dogs and is supported by a poster for veterinary practice waiting rooms. This one-hour webinar was first broadcast as part of BSAVA’s Learn@Lunch series. Learn@Lunch broadcasts are available to BSAVA members only and are free to attend - visit the education page of the BSAVA website for details of future Learn@Lunch webinars.
