Feline Behavioural Issues And A Spotlight On Chronic Axillary Wounds In Cats

This month Nathalie Dowgray, Head of ISFM, is in conversation with Dr Sarah Heath about the impact feeding can have on feline behavioural issues. We're also featuring our monthly JFMS clinical spotlight interview in which Nathalie discusses chronic axillary wounds in cats with Dr Rodrigo Paulino.Recording during ISFM’s Rhodes Congress, Nathalie Dowgray is joined by felinebehavioural specialist Dr Sarah Heath. She provides practical tips to improve feline behaviour when considering how we feed our furry friends in a multi-cat household and advocates for kitten information evenings in your practice to improve feline welfare.Nathalie then sits down with Dr Rodrigo Paulino to discuss his JFMS clinical spotlight article Chronic axillary wounds in cats: what do we know and how should we manage them? and Rodrigo shares advice for managing axillary wounds for those of us in general veterinary practice.At International Cat Care we advocate for microchipping as being the primary source of identification for cats and, where collars are being used as a secondary form of identification, we strongly advise that they are quick-release collars to prevent the risk of axillary collar wounds.For further reading material please visit:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/1098612X231162880https://portal.icatcare.org/events/show/fafc1909-0e1e-416e-9ba8-abe0b8e3a213View The Transcript HereTune in next month for more interviews recorded at ISFM in Rhodes, and next month's clinical spotlight interview.Host:Nathalie Dowgray, BVSc, MANZCVS, PgDip, MRCVS, PhD, Head of ISFM, International Society of Feline Medicine, International Cat Care, Tisbury, Wiltshire, UKSpeakers:Dr Sarah Heath BVSc PgCertVE Dip.ECAWBM(BM) CCAB FHEA FRCV, RCVS and EBVS Recognised Specialist in Veterinary Behavioural Medicine for Companion Animals.Dr Rodrigo Paulino DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl ECAR, Veterinary Surgeon and published JFMS AuthorFor ISFM members, the full recording of this discussion is available for you to listen to at portal.icatcare.org.
