Daniel Ryan, winner of the 2022 JFMS Open Reports Best Practitioner Paper, joins us for a discussion about his winning article, “Lumbar intervertebral foraminal disc extrusion in a cat.” This wide-ranging discussion covers different types of disc extrusions, the ways in which they can present in feline patients, and some tips for diagnosis.
Dr. Ryan, BVM BVS BVMedSci AFHEA MRCVS, ECVN Resident in Neurology and Neurosurgery at Royal Veterinary College and Sam Taylor, BVetMed(Hons) CertSAM DipECVIM-CA MANZCVS FRCVS, Feline Medicine Specialist and ISFM Academy Lead cover topics such as why spinal pain in cats is difficult even for neurologists to determine; when radiography is valuable in diagnosing spinal pain (and when it is not!); the value of client home videos in diagnosis; what the latest research studies say about treatment management options; and his top tips on neurological exams for cats (and how neurological diseases can present in other parts of the veterinary exam).
