Anyone for some blood? Or how about some plasma?&nbsp; Transfusion medicine is a developing field in small animal practice as access to blood products increases - at least in some countries - and no doubt this trend is set to continue. In this podcast we discuss topics such as what transfusion medicine is and what the main indications are as well as some of the practical considerations with respect to administration. We also discuss blood banks and blood donors. Oh, and the small matter of changing our terminology for canine blood types! I am joined in this podcast by [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/small-animal-referrals/about-us/senior-clinicians/karen-humm Karen Humm] who is a Lecturer in [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/small-animal-referrals/emergency-cases Emergency] & [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/small-animal-referrals/critical-care Critical Care] (ECC) at the QMHA and a co-Director of the Transfusion Medicine service.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common problem in cats and dogs, especially as they get older. In the first podcast on CKD we discussed topics such as the anatomy and function of the kidney, why the kidney may become dysfunctional and what the consequences are, some terminology, and causes of kidney disease. In this second part we will look at clinical aspects of CKD in terms of patient approach and management, covering topics such as suspecting and making the diagnosis, IRIS staging, treatment and prognosis.
