Carpool Cases
Carpool Cases, created especially for students along with AVS and FAVS, are informal online sessions where we bring together veterinary professionals with our host James Russell (now BVA Past President) to have an open conversation about a chosen topic.
In Spring 2022, we hosted three special events. Packed with facts, clinical cases, and scenarios, the Carpool Cases: Revision Masterclass events gave us the opportunity to hear from several veterinary professionals at each event. With events on Small Animal, Equine, and Farm Animal, you can now listen to the recordings to help you learn and revise. As with all Carpool Cases, we believe no question is a silly question!

Should obesity be recognised as a disease?
Global Pet Obesity Initiative issued position statement
Quality of life - Quality of life is reduced in obese dogs but improves after successful weight loss
Lifespan - Overweight body condition was associated with a shorter life span
Weighing vs measuring food portions - Up to a 13% variation between each portion, rising to a 28% difference if more than one person measures out the kibble
Growth patterns - Dogs that developed obesity by 3 years grew faster than the growth standards predicted
Genetics - A Deletion in the Canine POMC Gene Is Associated with Weight and Appetite in Obesity-Prone Labrador Retriever Dogs
