In this week’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re talking all about urinary incontinence. This is a really common urinary disorder and it’s not just our older dogs who are affected by it - it’s seen commonly in younger patients, too, and nurses are often heavily involved in their diagnostics, treatment, and ongoing care. If you’ve ever thought that managing these cases is as simple as ‘dispense Propalin, and then discharge’, this episode is for you. We’ll look at what commonly causes urinary incontinence in dogs, some of the more weird and wonderful treatments we can use to manage urinary incontinence, as well as the nursing skills these patients benefit from. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

Urinary tract tumours are a common cause of lower urinary tract signs in older patients, and these patients benefit from extensive nursing care—not just at the time of diagnosis but for the rest of their lives, too, to give them the best possible quality of life for as long as possible.  On this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, I’m joined by Inge Breatnach, aka @oncologyrvn. Inge and l look at what these tumours are, the signs they cause in our patients, and the treatment and nursing care these patients need. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com  --- 📲 Learn more about Inge: Follow Inge on Instagram here--- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

Urinary stones are a common cause of lower urinary tract disease in cats and dogs.  From catheterising obstructive uroliths to performing contrast imaging studies to advising clients about dissolution diets, nurses can use so many skills when caring for these patients.  But to successfully treat them and plan great care, we need to know exactly what urolith our patient has and the treatment they respond to - which is precisely what we’ll be chatting about in today’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast! --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com  --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

What if your blocked cat doesn’t have a “real” reason for being blocked?! If they’ve not got a stone, stricture, plug or a mass… chances are they’ve got feline idiopathic cystitis, aka FIC. These cats account for more and more of the obstructions we see - with FIC now being the most common feline lower urinary tract disorder. FIC cats can be really tough to manage as they’re often incredibly stressed, painful, and unhappy in the hospital - and often, we then discharge them to a home environment full of chronic stressors. Today we’ll be chatting through what causes FIC, the signs we see in these patients, and how we can best care for them - both in the hospital and at home. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast --- 📲 Grab the resources mentioned in today’s podcast: ICatCare client handout on FIC: https://icatcare.org/advice/feline-idiopathic-cystitis-fic/ ICatCare client handout on FLUTD: https://icatcare.org/advice/feline-lower-urinary-tract-disease-flutd/ ISFM/AAFP client handout on environmental needs for cats: https://journals.sagepub.com/pb-assets/cmscontent/JFM/Environmental-needs-Client-handout.pdf ISFM/AAFP feline environmental needs guidelines: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X13477537 ISFM/AAFP feline friendly nursing care guidelines: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X12445002 --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

In today’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re chatting about feline urethral obstructions, also known as the dreaded blocked bladder cat! Feline urethral obstruction is a very treatable emergency condition, with survival rates above 90%.  However, it can be life-threatening, especially where that obstruction has been present for some time - with patients at risk of severe acute kidney injury, azotaemia, uraemia, hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis. We also know that these patients benefit from a LOT of nursing care - which is exactly what we’re getting into in this episode! --- 📲 Resources mentioned in today’s episode: https://www.zeropainphilosophy.com/ https://www.iscaid.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Urinary-guidelines.pdf --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com  📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist ---  
In this week’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re chatting about an increasingly common condition - ureteral obstruction. These patients present often markedly painful and with post-renal AKI, which can be life-threatening if bilateral obstructions are present and often require intensive treatment and nursing care. They’re being diagnosed more and more often now than ever, particularly in cats - and there is a LOT we can do as nurses and technicians to support these patients. If you want to know how these obstructions occur, the signs we see, and how we treat and care for these patients, I’ve got you covered in today’s episode. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com  📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

This week, we’re chatting about a disease we’re seeing more and more often in practice, one that has significant risks to both us and our clients: leptospirosis.  Leptospirosis is an increasingly common, potentially fatal zoonotic disease found throughout the world. These patients often benefit from advanced treatment and nursing care, especially if they have acute kidney injury as a result of their infection. In today’s episode, we’ll look at what leptospirosis is, how it affects our patients, and how we can provide the best possible care to these patients. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com  --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist ---  
In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re chatting all about managing ethylene glycol toxicity. These patients commonly present as emergencies and require very intensive nursing care - the disease carries a poor prognosis, and it’s often fatal.  However, with rapid intervention and intensive treatment and nursing, recovery can be possible. Today, we’re talking all about what happens when a patient ingests EG, and how we can treat and nurse these patients accordingly - along with the practical skills we can use to support them. --- 📲 Download the modified Glasgow Coma Scale here: https://bvns.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Neurotransmitter-2.0-MGCS-final.pdf --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

In today’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re talking all about protein-losing nephropathy… aka PLN! Protein-losing nephropathy is a relatively common renal disease in dogs - it is a renal disease in its own right, but it also causes CKD as it progresses. We do see some pretty severe complications in these patients, and some can be life-threatening - but with careful monitoring and good nursing care, we can make a big difference to patients with PLN. But to do that, we first need to look at what PLN is, and how it affects our patients. --- 📲 Resources mentioned in today’s episode: European renal biopsy service: https://www.evrps.net/ International renal biopsy service: https://vetmed.tamu.edu/ivrps/ Viscoelastic testing: https://eclinpath.com/hemostasis/tests/viscoelastic-testing/ --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com  --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

In today’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re chatting all about a common cause of CKD, especially in cats - polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic condition affecting patients from a young age, causing cysts to form within the kidneys. As they grow, they eventually cause advanced chronic kidney disease. These patients benefit from early diagnosis and thorough supportive care, and we all know that veterinary nurses are vital in advocating for both of those things. On top of that, client education is a huge part of this condition - and we all know nurses are great at that, too. But to advise our clients effectively, we need to have a good understanding of what PKD is, and how it affects our patients - and that’s exactly what we’re going to go through today. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com  📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.

In episode 13 of the medical nursing podcast, we’re talking all about acute kidney injury. Unlike CKD, AKI is a potentially reversible loss of renal function. These patients usually present as an emergency and require intensive treatment and nursing care. The good news is that there are a TON of nursing skills we can use with these patients - and we’re diving into them all in today’s episode. --- Resources mentioned in today’s episode: ➡️ Blood gas workshop: https://veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.thinkific.com/courses/debunking-blood-gases ➡️ IRIS AKI grading: http://www.iris-kidney.com/guidelines/grading.html ➡️ WSAVA nutritional assessment tool: https://wsava.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Nutritional-Assessment-Checklist.pdf --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.
