Oral Chemotherapy in Cats: A Realistic Roadmap for Primary Care

In the June open access episode of Chattering With iCatCare, Yaiza Gómez-Mejías is joined by Mariana Lopes and Joanna Morris to explore feline oncology and the practical roadmap for using oral chemotherapy agents in general practice.  The conversation focuses on providing realistic treatment options for patients where referral may not be accessible, highlighting how oral protocols can achieve efficacy and maintain quality of life within a primary care setting. They also discuss why cats must not be treated as small dogs regarding drug toxicity and the specific challenges of monitoring feline patients who often hide side effects.For further reading material please visit:Oral chemotherapy agents in cats: clinical uses, administration and side effectsHost:Yaiza Gómez-Mejías, LdaVet MANZCVS (Medicine of Cats), RCVS CertAP (Feline Medicine), iCatCare Veterinary Community Co-ordinatorSpeakers:Mariana Lopes, DVM, MSc, MVM, MRCVS, DipECVIM-CA (Onc), European Specialist in Small Animal Oncology, University of GlasgowJoanna Morris, BSc, BVSc, PhD, FRCVS, FHEA, DipECVIM-CA (Onc), Professor of Veterinary Oncology, University of Glasgow
