About This Podcast

Welcome to the Synaptic Tails podcast, where neurology meets practical tips in veterinary care. Hosted by Dr Emma Hancox, a Technical Vet Advisor at Dômes Pharma UK, alongside Dr Mark Lowrie of Movement Referrals. In each episode, we explore the challenges of managing epilepsy cases in first-opinion practice - sharing clinical insights, lived experience, and practical strategies to support your patients and your team. Season 1 introduced Dômes Pharma UK’s S.M.A.R.T. Approach to Epilepsy, offering step-by-step support on seizure management. In Season 2, we build on that foundation with even more focused conversations - tackling status epilepticus, seizure mimics, feline epilepsy, adjunctive therapies, and the power of teamwork in chronic care. Join us as we unravel the complexities of veterinary neurology, share real-world stories, and empower you with knowledge. Together, let’s enhance the health and happiness of our canine and feline companions. 🌐 Learn more about Dômes Pharma UK: https://domespharma.co.uk Access Vet Resources from Dômes Pharma UK at https://domespharma.co.uk/the-vet-vault/ 🌐 Learn more about Movement Referrals: https://www.movementvets.co.uk Movement Referrals is an independent, specialist veterinary hospital with practices in the North West and Midlands.
