This is a great idea Arlo!

Most common endocrine disorders of dogs and cats please! I don't know how many times I've studied them but now in final semester and still baffled.

Actually, I'd second a good session on hypothyroidism. You'd be surprised how many longstanding mystery cases need a good T4 screen!

Something anaesthesia-related

(I'd suggest the mechanics and use of anaesthetic circuits, especially vapouriser-in-circle ones, but can't imagine there's too many others out there battling on a daily basis with a Komesaroff )

suggested protocols depending on cases

or maybe critical care topic like CPR? Hardly of much use in most general practices,but something I think one always feels a duty to be up-to-date and prepared for?

Good idea,I think - am personally always interested in a bit of clinical chat with expert input - good way to learn. Can't think of any really decent topics myself, but will throw a few into the ring anyway as they pop into my mind...

Suggestion 3 from Herriot

LIVERS

Species???

Suggestion 2 from Herriot

A month on general medicine and surgery in one of the emergent exotic fields (by which I mean emergent for the rest of us who aren't specialists - like rabbits becoming valued adults' pets rather than kids' disposable toys);

Suggestion 1 from Mr/Ms Herriot

A general overview of current therapy and management of viral diseases of cats (emphasis, obviously, on FHV, calici, FIP, FIV etc - the sort of things which offer carrier status and recrudescence)

[quote user="james herriot lied"]Thought this was a magnificent idea, until the stars comment: you're just doing this to crack 100,000 points, aren't you Arlo? [/quote]

Laughed out loud - damn, rumbled.

[quote user="james herriot lied"]Suggestions for the first month - apart, of course, from phaeochromocytoma and Familial Sharpei Fever (the twin scourges of the profession): a general overview of current therapy and management of viral diseases of cats (emphasis, obviously, on FHV, calici, FIP, FIV etc - the sort of things which offer carrier status and recrudescence); possibly a month on general medicine and surgery in one of the emergent exotic fields (by which I mean emergent for the rest of us who aren't specialists - like rabbits becoming valued adults' pets rather than kids' disposable toys); and LIVERS.[/quote]

Wonderful, thank you. But can we keep to one suggestion per post, then people can give stars for each idea. I'll split yours up into individual posts now ...

Very Very good idea although not feeling inspired enough for suggestions at the moment. Maybe this cup of tea and biscuit will help.
