🔓Clinical: Feline Anaemia: What You’ve Been Missing — with Dr Rachel Korman

I’m never excited when I diagnose a cat with anaemia: vague signs, confusing diagnostics, and what feels like a not-so-great prognoses. But are they really that hopeless? In this episode, feline medicine specialist Dr Rachel Korman joins us demystify the anaemic cat and offer a clear, practical diagnostic framework that will give you more confidence and better outcomes the next time you see a cat with a low PCV. Some highlights from this conversation: A step-by-step approach to categorising anaemia. Regenerative vs. non-regenerative : what it actually means in cats, and how to interpret the data. Why IMHA in cats doesn’t look like IMHA in dogs — and how to recognise it. Haemoplasma infections (like Mycoplasma) : When to treat, how to treat, PCR testing, and what the results really tell you. Age-specific differentials: what to prioritise in young vs. older cats. Supportive care: what works, what’s myth. Prognosis pitfalls: why PCV alone doesn’t predict survival. This episode will help you approach feline anaemia with more clarity, structure, and - dare we say - optimism. 💡 Proudly supported by Vetnostics Pathology : Australia's largest network of veterinary pathologists and internal medicine consultants.
