Ep 64: Ross Allan on diagnosing companion animal lameness

Making a diagnosis can be tricky enough, and particularly so with lameness. But is there another way of doing things? Ross Allan thinks so, and tells us more in this Vet Times podcast. _______________________ 𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗔𝗡 𝗕𝗩𝗠𝗦 𝗣𝗚𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗦𝗔𝗦 𝗠𝗥𝗖𝗩𝗦 Ross graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2001, and gained a BSAVA Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2014 and RCVS advanced practitioner status in 2015. He is clinical director of referrals at Pets’n’Vets Family in Glasgow, where he leads Roundhouse Referrals’ surgical team, widening access to advanced veterinary surgery in western Scotland through innovative services such as “fixed price” tibial plateau-levelling osteotomy surgery. Working within the Roundhouse Veterinary Hospital, Ross is familiar with the challenges and reward in effectively supporting owners and treating pets with OA. Ross wrote an article in Vet Times (Volume 51, Issue 39, Pages 4-8) titled “Diagnosing lameness – ‘a science of uncertainty and an art of probability’” that covers more of the concepts discussed in this podcast.
