Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Focuses on key veterinary topics, illustrated through recent studies and practical implications, with episodes covering antimicrobial stewardship, antibiotic prescription lengths in pneumonia cases, IV catheter complications, and transfusion reactions, highlighting specific case studies for veterinarian education.

Stay up to date with the latest small animal veterinary research.
In VetLit minis, ECC specialist Simon Cook and the VetLit team sit down with authors of recent studies for informal conversations about new research and how it can be applied in practice.
Combining published evidence with the authors’ clinical experience, we look for insights that extend beyond the paper – helping busy clinicians make sense of the evidence and apply it in everyday cases.
Produced by VetLit.org and hosted by Simon Cook, Chris Scudder, Abbe Crawford, Matteo Rossanese, and Kieran Borgeat. Join us as we work to make veterinary literature more accessible – and more accessed.
Why is the severe anaphylaxis patient actually unstable, and how do you treat it?
This was a fascinating discussion with Dr Ryan Smith about his group’s study on dogs with severe anaphylaxis that did not receive early epinephrine as part of their management.
We cover those 49 cases, basic physiology, hepatic rupture and the protocol that Dr Smith and his team use. That protocol is available as supporting information to the study itself here:
