Krka has launched a podcast series about canine osteoarthritis featuring roundtable discussions led by Professor Stuart Carmichael BVMS, MVM, DSAO, FRCVS.

Topics include the pathogenesis of OA, the importance of personalised treatment plans, and practical tips for supporting both pets and caregivers.

The first podcast centres around understanding the pathogenesis of the condition and the importance of thorough clinical examinations, diagnostic imaging and early intervention, all of which can greatly influence long-term outcomes.

Stuart said: “We often see pain as a problem, but it’s also a signal that gives us the opportunity to act early and prevent further progression.

"By the time pain is obvious, the disease is often so advanced that our ability to make a meaningful impact is limited.

"Acting early can change this pattern, and that’s a critical message we need to communicate to pet owners.”

Stuart is joined in the series by Krka’s technical veterinary adviser, Renzo Di Florio.

In subsequent episodes they share their thoughts on the latest advances in osteoarthritis treatment, creating an effective management plan that is individualised for each patient and tips for engaging with caregivers.

Renzo said: “Our goal with this podcast series is to empower veterinary professionals - whether they are new graduates or experienced practitioners - with evidence-based knowledge they can trust and apply.

"We’re excited to share these insights and have more planned for 2025, so stay tuned!”
