Episode 69 - Feline Fine

In this week’s episode, we are absolutely delighted to be joined by the brilliant Dr. Sam Taylor, one of the leading voices in feline medicine today.

From her early days at the Royal Veterinary College, through her European Diploma in Veterinary Internal Medicine, to becoming an RCVS Recognized Specialist in Feline Medicine, Sam has been at the forefront of advancing veterinary care for cats. As the International Cat Care Veterinary Specialist Lead, she has played a pivotal role in shaping clinical guidelines that have transformed how we diagnose and manage feline diseases.

In this conversation, Sam reflects on some of the game-changing moments in feline medicine, including the revolutionary treatment of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a breakthrough that has changed the landscape of feline healthcare.

Beyond her contributions to research and education, Sam shares her personal experiences balancing clinical practice, lecturing, and writing, as well as the challenges and rewards of working in both primary care and specialist practice. Her passion for feline medicine and commitment to improving patient outcomes are truly inspiring.
