In this episode Kim tells us about a new patient. A dog who suffered trauma and spent more than 2 months in a rehab centre. We discuss several subjects including the challenges of caring for patients once home. Kim also stresses the need to treat every patient as an individual. At the end we discuss how the management of osteoarthritis might vary depending on the season. Some terms Kim mentions:

Haemothorax: this is blood in the chest cavity that should not be there. Among other problems, it can stop the lungs from expanding.
Femoral head and neck excision: the hip joint is like a ‘ball in a socket’. In this operation the ‘ball’ (the top of the thigh bone) is removed.
FCE: this is a fibrocartilaginous embolism. There is a blockage of the blood supply to part of the spinal cord. The result is loss of function of that part of the spinal cord. It is a problem from which dogs can recover.
