16 Portosystemic shunts

Portosystemic shunts (PSS) are a relatively common problem in small animals and are the subject of this next podcast in our series. The podcast features Vicky Lipscomb who is Head of the Soft Tissue Surgery service at the QMHA and has a particular interest in these troublesome vessels! Some of the things we discuss in this podcast include the different types of PSS, when to be suspicious of the problem, diagnosis and treatment options.
