How do you approach chronic GI cases in practice?

We’re inviting UK veterinary professionals to take part in The National GI Survey, contributing to research with the University of Nottingham.

From choosing which investigations to pursue to navigating the factors that influence clinical decision-making, we want to build a clearer picture of how chronic GI cases are being managed in practice.

As a thank you for sharing your experience, you can enter a prize draw to win one of five £100 gift cards as well as a digital practice support pack.

📅 Survey open: 1 November 2026 – 11 January 2027

Two days. Two live discussions. Plenty of GI cases to get stuck into.

We’re bringing the conversation around chronic GI disease to the London Vet Show Exhibitor Showcase this November, with sessions across both days of the show.

📅 Day 1 | 19 November | 14:00–14:50 | Confessions of a GP Vet: Real gut cases, and the decisions that changed our thinking

Join The Chatty Vets Podcast, Brendan Ruban Williams and Charlotte Griffin, for an honest, conversational look at the GI cases that have challenged assumptions, changed clinical approaches and taught valuable lessons along the way.

📅 Day 2 | 20 November | 11:00–11:50 | Lucy Williams will be joined by The Chatty Vets, Rob Foale and Katherine Clarke for a panel discussion, continuing the conversation around GI care and the realities of clinical decision-making in practice.

📍 Both sessions will take place in Exhibitor Showcase 2.

What are we learning about GI inflammation in dogs and cats?

As our understanding of gastrointestinal disease evolves, so does the role of objective biomarkers in supporting diagnosis, monitoring and clinical decision-making.

Our latest blog explores emerging insights into GI inflammation patterns, the value of faecal calprotectin and how veterinary GI data can help build a clearer picture of intestinal health.

What does better decision-making look like in veterinary practice?

That’s one of the conversations we’re looking forward to having today at RCVS Knowledge QI Day.

We’re here to talk quality improvement, evidence-based care and how access to objective information can help veterinary teams make clearer, more confident clinical decisions.

🚨 BRENDAN RANT INCOMING…

“WHY are we getting so uppity about whether it’s IBD or lymphoma?!”

It’s one of those classic feline medicine dilemmas:

🐱 Chronic enteropathy/IBD?
🐱 Small-cell GI lymphoma?
🐱 Can we actually tell the difference?
🐱 And the controversial one… does it always matter straight away? 👀

Because sometimes you’ve got a cat that feels absolutely rubbish, an owner who doesn’t want to pursue endoscopy/biopsies, and Brendan in the corner saying:

“GIVE THEM THE STEROIDS. THEY’LL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!”

Now, before the internal medicine specialists come for us… 👀 obviously diagnosis matters, and treatment/prognosis aren’t identical. But in the REAL WORLD of GP practice, how far do you go to differentiate the two — particularly when further diagnostics aren’t an option?

🎧 Brendan gets on his soapbox on this The Chatty Vets Podcast, featuring Lucy from Carus Animal Health, talking all things GI health and GIQuest (faecal calprotectin).

👇 IBD vs lymphoma: how hard are YOU chasing the definitive diagnosis?

Feline chronic inflammatory enteropathy or lymphoma?

Differentiating chronic inflammatory enteropathy from low-grade intestinal T-cell lymphoma in cats can be challenging, particularly when clinical signs and diagnostic findings overlap.

In our latest Vet Times case study, we follow Barney, a 14-year-old cat whose vomiting, diarrhoea and inappetence resolved rapidly with initial management, yet his faecal calprotectin levels remained elevated.

Read Barney’s case and explore how serial faecal calprotectin testing helped inform both investigation and monitoring 🔗 https://www.vettimes.com/clinical/small-animal/inflammatory-enteropathy-or-lymphoma-in-cats-when-clinical-improvement-doesnt-tell-the-whole-story

How does the test work?

From start to finish, GIQuest offers simple, in house, point of care testing, with results in just 15 minutes.

What a great discussion last night!

A big thank you to The Chatty Vets Podcast for a fantastic webinar and to The Webinar Vet for hosting them to explore the chronic GI cases that keep us awake at night, and for sharing their real-world experiences from first-opinion practice.

If you missed the webinar, don’t worry, it is available to watch on demand here : https://thewebinarvet.com/videos/confessions-of-a-gp-vet-the-chronic-gi-cases-that-keep-us-awake-at-night

In the meantime, here’s a throwback to The Chatty Vets discussing the value of a negative test using GIQuest in a previous podcast episode and how it can support decision-making in GI cases. 👇
