Confessions of a GP Vet: Real gut cases, and the decisions that changed our thinking
Every GP vet has those gastrointestinal cases that linger in the memory - the ones that challenged our assumptions, changed our clinical approach, or taught us something the hard way. In this honest, conversational session, The Chatty Vets Podcast, in partnership with Carus Animal Health, shares real-life gut cases from first-opinion practice, exploring the diagnostic and treatment decisions behind them, the realities of contextualised care, and the lessons learned along the way. Through relatable discussion, practical clinical insights, and a healthy dose of humour, we'll consider where newer diagnostic tools, including Carus Animal Health's GIQuest faecal calprotectin test, can complement everyday decision-making, helping clinicians identify patients that may benefit from further investigation while supporting more confident, evidence-informed management of chronic GI disease.
- Recognise common gastrointestinal presentations in first-opinion practice and explore practical, contextualised approaches to diagnostic work-ups and case management.
- Reflect on real clinical decision-making, including diagnostic biases, common pitfalls, and how learning from previous cases can improve future patient outcomes.
- Evaluate where faecal calprotectin testing (GIQuest, Carus Animal Health) can support everyday clinical decision-making, helping to identify patients that may benefit from further investigation.
- Apply practical, evidence-informed strategies to manage chronic gastrointestinal cases with greater confidence while balancing patient welfare, client expectations, and financial considerations.
