Who shifted my eye drops?Recently my consultation often involved patients telling me; “my pharmacist can’t get me my Cosopt anymore, what should I use?” Due to supply issues, some patients have not been able to purchase their usual eye drops, including Cosopt and Timoptol XE.It is expected that Timoptol and Trusopt will follow soon.The company that supplies those eye drops recently sent out a letter saying that resumption of supply will occur in March 2025.In the meantime, I think this is an opportunity to reassess each individual patient’s Target IOP (should it be higher or lower), whether the patient is suitable for another eye drop or SLT.The 6 years results of LiGHT Trial showed that SLT provides better long-term disease control than initial drop therapy (Gazzard et al, Ophthalmology. 2023 Feb;130(2):139-151). The target IOP for each eye is not a fixed number.It is important to set a target IOP and review it periodically.Eye Surgery Associates will host a Grand Round for optometrists on Tuesday, 29/10/24 at Malvern Valley Public Golf Couse.The topic of my talk is “How to set Target IOPs and how to achieve them”.The link to the event is https://lnkd.in/gjNwUdCi

Dr.ssa Valentina Patata, DVM, Ph.D., Dipl. ECVIM-CA (Cardiology), provides a detailed demonstration of the various presentations and measurements necessary during an #echocardiographic exam to a learner.This case presents a slight regurgitation and mild thickening of the #tricuspid valve leaflets, conditions that are plausible given the previously noted mild degeneration of the #mitral valve leaflets, which often occur together.Through interventional #cardiology techniques, we are capable of performing minimally invasive treatments for certain heart conditions, such as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) or pulmonary stenosis.Were you aware of these possibilities?#sanmarcovet #echocardiography #veterinarymedicine

Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), is a minimally invasive procedure to open narrowed or blocked arteries, typically due to atherosclerosis. During angioplasty, a thin tube (catheter) with a small balloon at its tip is inserted through a blood vessel, often in the groin or wrist, and guided to the blocked artery. The balloon is then inflated to compress the plaque against the artery walls, widening the artery and restoring blood flow. In many cases, a stent is also placed to keep the artery open. The procedure usually requires local anesthesia and a short hospital stay.

In preparation for my VSS conference and Vets on Tour talk on 'avoiding desexing complications', I created a brief video on approaching the caudal abdomen in a male dog. This was for the slide on avoiding inadvertent prostatectomy whilst performing cryptorchid castration (a reported complication). My tip for approaching the caudal abdomen in a male, is to simply push the prepuce to the side then just stay on midline in the subcut and rectus sheath (linear) Prepare the prepuce in advance by flushing with dilute chlorhex so you can drape it in without concern. Do not veer off midline! The prepuce/ penis/ urethra are movable in this region, so there is no need to perform anything off midline. If you approach the abdomen off-centre and via the abdominal musculature you are more likely to encounter increased bleeding and this can reduce your exposure (especially if you do not have cautery) and increase surgical time. In the worst case scenario it can result in the surgeon making an error. For more tips, see you at my talk on 'desexing complication reduction and surgical resilience' either at- VSS Conference next weekend Brisbane https://lnkd.in/g-yYuwg9- Vets on Tour - Wanaka NZ - see second photo for details.
