We discuss several subjects including the challenges of caring for patients once home. Kim also stresses the need to treat every patient as an individual. &amp;nbsp; At the end we discuss how the management of osteoarthritis might vary depending on the season. &amp;nbsp; Some terms Kim mentions: Haemothorax: this is blood in the chest cavity that should not be there. Among other problems, it can stop the lungs from expanding. Femoral head and neck excision: the hip joint is like a ‘ball in a socket’. In this operation the ‘ball’ (the top of the thigh bone)&amp;nbsp;is removed. FCE: this is a fibrocartilaginous embolism. There is a blockage of the blood supply to part of the spinal cord. The result is loss of function of that part of the spinal cord. It is a problem from which dogs can recover.
