Episode 128 – Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency   The last 4 weeks of our lives here in Abu Dhabi have been interesting to say the least.

Episode 125 – Behaviour and Thyroid Disease   This is a big topic, and I really enjoyed diving into it. I think we can all agree that the outdated notion that low thyroid hormone levels in dogs directly causes aggression is exactly that – outdated. However, changes or dysregulation in thyroid hormone levels in both dogs and cats can still affect behaviour and this is what I chat about in this epis...

Episode 120 – Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon   One of the questions I get asked most frequently is how, if you are suspicious that your patient may be experiencing pain or discomfort, to relay this suspicion to the pet's GP vet or caregiver.

Episode 114 – Hyperactivity – HSHA - Hyperkinesis   This is quite a big episode and a very interesting topic - definitely one that I am hearing more conversations and questions about.
