We know that gastrointestinal diseases are amongst the most common diseases we see in practice.
And giving great care to these patients starts with understanding how the GI tract works, which is precisely what we’re exploring in the first episode of our brand-new series on GI disease.

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!)
In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re taking the confusion out of transfusions, so you can confidently care for your haematology patients in practice.

Anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity is one of the most common toxicities reported in dogs and can cause severe bleeding if not identified and managed quickly.
These patients often present as emergencies and can require intensive treatment and nursing care - and how to deliver that care is exactly what we’ll be diving into in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast.

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 starts with understanding what they are, and how they impact our patients - which is exactly what you’ll be able to do after this episode.

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, if we know beforehand, we can implement strategies to manage the patient’s disease and prevent severe haemorrhage. That starts with understanding von Willebrand’s disease and how it works, which is exactly what we’re covering in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast.

Picture this.
You’re working the Saturday morning shift, you’re wrapping things up ready to close, and your vet brings through a patient from consults.
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 have some kind of bleeding disorder, and based on these signs, there’s a good chance they have very low platelet levels.
But why does this happen, and how can we support these patients? We’ll dive into all of that in this episode.

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, and how we manage it—exactly what we’re covering in this episode.

Anaemia is probably the most common haematologic disease that we see - so it’s vital we understand why it occurs, how it affects our patients, and what we need to do when nursing these patients.
In episode 40 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re chatting all about what causes anaema, how we classify it, what changes we see in our results, and how we treat these patients - so that you can provide the best possible nursing care.

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, we need to know what cells we’re looking at and refresh ourselves on what they do - exactly what we’re covering in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast.

Ever seen a patient present with collapse, disorientation and seizures which resolves almost immediately? There’s a good chance they could have insulinoma - a pancreatic tumour causing sudden hypoglycaemia.
So how do we treat and nurse these patients - and what complications do we run into during and after surgery? We’re discussing it all in episode 38 of the Medical Nursing Podcast.

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.

Today on the medical nursing podcast, we’re talking all about parathyroid disorders - diseases of the parathyroid gland affecting calcium balance within the body.
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. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more confident caring for these patients.

If I say ‘hypothyroid’, what comes to mind?
For me, it’s a vision of a quiet little mini schnauzer, with hair loss and awful skin - but the reality is hypothyroidism causes a LOT more changes for our patients.
To understand how we treat and nurse our hypothyroid dogs, we first need to understand hypothyroidism and its impact on our patients—which is exactly what you’ll find waiting for you in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast.

We’ve all seen those older cats who come in with the body condition score of a hat-rack and an appetite that rivals ours at the end of a busy shift.
Yep, that’s right - they’re hyperthyroid.
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 Medical Nursing Podcast.

Addison’s, aka hypoadrenocorticism, isn’t called ‘the great pretender’ for nothing. In fact, it’s often missed until the patient presents in an Addisonian crisis.
These patients often need intensive nursing care and treatment, especially if they present as an emergency.
But to deliver that care, we first need to know what Addison’s is, how it affects our patients, and how we treat it—which is exactly what we’re chatting about in this episode.

In this week’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re chatting all about hyperadrenocorticism - aka Cushing’s disease!
This is one of the most common endocrine diseases we see in dogs - and we even sometimes see it in cats - and nurses are heavily involved in the investigation and treatment of these patients.
So what is Cushing’s disease, and how do we treat and care for these patients? Let’s find out…

Today, we’re talking all about the other diabetes - diabetes insipidus.
It might have the same name as ‘traditional’ diabetes, but the two diseases are very different. It’s nothing like diabetes mellitus - and as nurses, we must understand the difference between the two conditions.
In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, I’ll explain exactly what diabetes insipidus is, what changes it causes to our patients, and how we diagnose, treat, and care for them.

Have you ever seen one of those diabetic cats that, try as you might, just WILL NOT respond to treatment?
Well, if the answer’s yes, there’s a good chance your patient is one of many cats with acromegaly!
This disease affects around 25% of ALL cats with diabetes - and whilst it can be cured, it’s not a quick or easy fix.
The good news? We can give these patients a TON of intensive nursing care during their treatment and recovery - and we’re diving into that in today’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast.

DKA patients vary from patients with mild ketosis and dehydration all the way to collapsed, severely unwell patients in shock, with marked acidosis and needing intensive nursing care.
However these patients present, one thing remains true - there is a LOT of nursing care we can provide.
But to do that, we need to understand how DKA works and what care our patients need - and that’s exactly what we’re diving into in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast!
