Episode 205: 2024 ISFM/AAFP Consensus Guidelines on Long-Term Use of NSAIDs: A Roundtable Discussion

In this episode join us to listen to a panel discussion from task force members from ISFM and AAFP on the recently jointly released guidelines, ISFM/AAFP Consensus Guidelines on Long-Term Use of NSAIDs in Cats. Sam Taylor, BVetMed (Hons), CertSAM, DipECVIM-CA, MANZCVS, FRCVS, Paolo Steagall, MV, MS, PhD, DipACVAA and Duncan Lascelles, BVSc, BSc, CertVA, PhD, DipECVS, DSAS(Soft Tissue), DipACVS, FRCVS join Kelly St. Denis, DVM, DABVP (Feline Practice) to discuss on how these guidelines came about and how they will help practitioners in their daily practice.

The panelists discuss a variety of aspects of the new guidelines, including how to advise and support caregivers to improve outcomes, why the long-term use of NSAIDs is a very nuanced discussion, why the presence of a comorbidity isn't an automatic contra-indication for NSAID use, and what does the future look like for NSAID use in cats.
