About
As a vital management partner in osteoarthritis owners are key in good clinical outcomes. Zoe Belshaw has looked extensively into the impact of canine osteoarthritis on the owners of affected pets. Her insights will help us understand the owner’s perspective to optimise their engagement and involvement in managing this progressive, painful disease. Zoe will discuss topics from her latest published work:

Belshaw, Z., Dean, R., and Asher, L. ‘’You can be blind because of loving them so much”: the impact on owners in the United Kingdom of living with a dog with osteoarthritis. BMC Veterinary Research 2020

Belshaw, Z., Dean, R., and Asher, L. Slower, shorter, sadder: a qualitative study exploring how dog walks change when the canine participant develops osteoarthritis. BMC Veterinary Research 2020

Professor John Innes draws on his decades of research and experience managing challenging canine osteoarthritis cases to share his approach to the OA/ mobility consult. He will share tips, what he has learned in practice, and what to avoid as you prepare for and conduct an OA consult in these challenging times, including optimising video assessment.

What has changed with the need for remote consults in place of physical consultations and what will still be relevant and helpful when things finally ‘return to normal’ in our veterinary practices?
