In the October episode of Chattering with ISFM, host Nathalie Dowgray presents two detailed discussions on important feline health topics - gastrointestinal and renal health.
First, Yaiza Gomez-Mejias interviews Sina Marsilio on feline chronic enteropathies, with a particular focus on gastrointestinal lymphoma and the diagnostic challenges of distinguishing small cell lymphoma from IBD. Marsilio discusses recent advances in the field, drawing from her recent work on the ACVIM consensus guidelines for ‘diagnosing and distinguishing low-grade neoplastic from inflammatory lymphocytic chronic enteropathies.’
Later, Kelly St. Denis speaks with Jonathan Stockman about his JFMS Clinical Spotlight article, ‘Dietary Phosphorus and its Impact on Renal Disease in Cats’. They examine phosphorus metabolism, the risks associated with high-phosphorus diets, and effective strategies for managing phosphorus levels to support feline kidney health.
