If you’ve ever seen an overweight Yorkie honking like a goose, then there’s a good chance you’ve dealt with tracheal collapse before.

It’s a progressive and often challenging condition to manage and can make breathing a real struggle for our patients. But by managing these patients well and providing client education and support, we can make a significant difference to these patients.

Plus, in severe cases, there are some cool interventions we can perform - and therefore skills we can use - too!

In episode 69 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re going to break down what tracheal collapse is, who the patients most at risk are, how to stabilise, diagnose and treat them, and what we can do as nurses to support these cases.

Ever seen a Husky or a German Shepherd with sneezing, nasal discharge and a TON of fungus up their nose?!

If so, then you’ll know the gross satisfaction that comes with pulling all of that out, and then packing them full of antifungals.

Today, we’re rounding off our mini-series on nasal disease by diving into a relatively common condition, especially in our large dogs - fungal rhinitis.

We’ll get prepared for these patients together by discussing what fungal rhinitis is, the patients we see it in, and how we manage it (as well as the skills we can use with these patients as nurses), and, as always, I’ll share my tips for nursing these patients confidently.

In episode 67 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re talking all about a very common, very frustrating, and in my opinion a very under-appreciated condition - chronic rhinitis.

Chronic rhinitis is one of those conditions that can easily fly under the radar - we often think lots about nursing our cat ‘flu cats for example, but there are many patients who suffer with chronic nasal disease that can significantly impact quality of life.

There’s quite a bit we can do to support these patients long term, and to do that well, we first need to understand what chronic rhinitis is, how it affects our patients, and how we treat it, which is exactly what you’ll find in this episode.

Plus, I’ll leave you with 5 key tips to nurse these patients confidently.
