This podcast is truly a must-listen episode!

Dr Russell Chandler has a conversation with one of the greats in Pain Management, and one-half of the Zero Pain Philosophy team, Dr Matt Gurney.

Matt discusses why he and Dr Carl Bradbrook conceived of the idea for Zero Pain Philosophy. We delve into the reasons why they believed that there was a need for such an educational platform.

Matt goes into detail on the differences between acute and chronic pain. He explains the dysregulated pain physiology in maladaptive pain, and at which levels of the pain pathway pharmaceutical against can act.

Using the ‘ladder’ concept Dr Gurney suggests a process whereby the correct drug may be chosen at the correct time.

Recent controversies concerning anti-NFG-monoclonal antibodies and NSAIDs are covered. Matt also has something to say about gabapentinoids.

Finally, some take homes that can be applied immediately are offered.

Dr Stewart Halperin BVM&S MRCVS is a veterinary surgeon who founded and runs a practice in Somerset, UK, dedicated to the management of pets with osteoarthritis using stem cell therapy.

In this fascinating episode, we uncover why Stewart was motivated to enter this area of regenerative medicine. We discuss the process that Stem Cell Vet has adopted for the diagnosis and management of OA using, in particular mesenchymal stem cells. Stewart compares the available cell types (such as autologous and xenogeneic) found in the UK. He shares his recommendations on how stem cells could be brought into your OA offering in general practice.

VOA Podcast Episode 29

Dr Hannah Capon speaks to Dr Russell Chandler on:

A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE ON CANINE OSTEOARTHRITIS

Recorded on 22nd February 2024

Thank you for supporting the Veterinary Osteoarthritis Alliance by listening to this podcast. In a genuinely international episode recorded on three continents (Europe, Africa, and Asia), thanks to the miracle of Microsoft Teams® we took a global view of canine osteoarthritis.

In the canine osteoarthritis sphere, there must be very few people who are not familiar with the trailblazing work of Dr Hannah Capon, UK veterinary surgeon. Hannah created the organisation that is CANINE ARTHRITIS MANAGEMENT (CAM). Through CAM Hannah has been able to put canine OA firmly and permanently high up on the agenda as an issue of crucial importance for animal welfare.

We talked about how canine OA is an issue of global importance, and how different attitudes toward animal suffering including this disease seem to exist in different areas of the world. Hannah stressed the need for vets and allied professionals to be sensitive to cultural differences when communicating with the animal caregivers.

Extreme canine phenotypes are a hot topic at the moment. We spoke about how different approaches may prevent us as a profession from alienating owners of such breeds, using Russell’s rescue pug as an example.

Hannah has also announced the inaugural CAM Chronic Pain Symposium. This online event, on 6th and 7th April 2024, boasts over forty internationally renowned speakers and is FREE to attend live, thanks to E.LearningVet and Elanco. VIP tickets are also available to purchase at very reasonable cost.

Wherever we are in the world; we as veterinary professionals can make a difference to animals’ lives by better management of canine OA.

Remember the in-person event on 22nd and 23rd May 2024 which is VOACON. This two-day conference in Leicester, UK, returns for a second year and promises to be event better (a tough ask) than the first one. Tickets are selling fast so don’t delay in grabbing yours.
