**Apologies for the less than optimal sound quality of this episode and the non-stereo recording!**

Dog bite injuries are a relatively common problem to be faced with in small animal practice. In this episode of the podcast I am joined by Nicola Kulendra, a European specialist in small animal surgery, to discuss their management. Some of the points we discuss include:

  • Adhering to standard ECC principles in terms of initial stabilisation and analgesia
  • The mechanics of dog bites and the ‘tip of the iceberg’ concept
  • Exploring bite injuries to uncover their true extent; the role of diagnostic imaging
  • The importance of wound drainage
  • Bacterial involvement and the use of antimicrobials
  • The ‘two hit theory’ in cats with moderate-to-severe dog bite injuries
  • The ‘big dog, little dog’ phenomenon
