Apologies for anon - on another computer

Generally, I find that I get several cases in a week of whatever obscure condition I learned about at the most recent CPD. All spot-on and definitively diagnosed, after which said condition goes away and is never seen again.

Outbreaks of HE / KC-type syndromes aren't really all that uncommon, are they? How often, after spending the night attached to the bog, do you hear that there's 'something going around'?

Feline urinary obstructions always come in at least threes at our place.

Another outbreak of haemorrhagic enetritis here... I blame bbq season. Many of the clients are also looking a bit green around the gills.

Why do dogs insist on eating stupid things?

We're on liver cases at the moment - tumours, chronic inflammation, degeneration - the lot, plus strange anaemia cases, fractured tibias and lumps on toes (mostly, but not always, in the same pet). Last year was ruptured diaphragms - two within an hour one day - and insulinomas (including two within same afternoon). On the FB theme a few years ago, I had two GI FBs (stone and underpants) and a gut biopsy in one day - the dog with the stone then ate another stone and the dog with the underpants ate a tea towel - both had to be opened up again within 10days (and no, I didn't miss anything first time round!)
