    120 Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon

    03/2/2026 | 25 mins.
    Episode 120 – Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon
     
    One of the questions I get asked most frequently is how, if you are suspicious that your patient may be experiencing pain or discomfort, to relay this suspicion to the pet's GP vet or caregiver.
    Oftentimes, we see something during a consultation – a change in capability, posture, gait or behaviour – that makes us think there may be an underlying physical health challenge for our patient. But convincing GP vets or caregivers of the same can be challenging and frustrating.
     
    That is why, when I saw Dr Hannah Capon present her "Suspicion of Chronic Pain" document at one of the conferences we attended together last year, I had a light bulb moment of "this is exactly what we need".
    In this episode, Hannah and I chat about how the resource came into existence, how we like to use it and we highlight all the different scenarios this document might be so valuable in.
     
    It is important to note that this is not a validated tool, but rather an amazing, easy-to-use resource to be scribbled on during consultations and then presented to whomever needs to see it – be it caregiver or GP vet.
    It is also an incredible teaching tool to demonstrate that a patient is in pain or discomfort, and exactly which signs are raising red flags for us.
    I honestly wouldn't be without it anymore and I have it on my desk for literally ALL of my consultations – canine and feline.
     
    This amazing resource is included in Trinity's Professional Guides E-Book, which you can purchase right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook
     
    And, you can, of course find it in CAM's MemberZone: www.caninearthritis.co.uk

    20/1/2026 | 37 mins.
    Episode 118 – A Conversation with Triple Boarded Veterinary Behaviourist, Dr Kersti Seksel
     
    What an honour to have this conversation with my good friend and residency mentor, triple boarded Veterinary Behaviourist, Dr Kersti Seksel.
    Kersti is one of the most inspirational pioneers of the Veterinary Behaviour industry, being boarded not only in America and Europe but also Australia.
     
    Have a listen as we chat about Kersti's entry into Veterinary Behaviour Medicine, the early cases she saw, early use of Veterinary Psychopharmacology, and how she started to introduce veterinary mental and emotional ill health to the profession across the world.
     
    We also talk about Kersti's love of teaching – students, residents, vets and allied professionals and how she herself learns something new every time she teaches.
     
    We finish the conversation on a high and talk about how we both feel Veterinary Psychiatry will positively impact our patients, the profession and health on a global scale going forwards.
     
    I hope you enjoy this conversation just as much as I did!

    117 Melatonin

    13/1/2026 | 27 mins.
    Episode 117 – Melatonin
     
    This was such an interesting episode to record and one that certainly left me with more questions than answers.
    In response to a question posed by a listener, I did a bit of a deep dive into melatonin, which resulted in some very interesting findings…
     
    The general consensus about the use of melatonin within the Veterinary Behaviour world is that we simply don't have enough evidence of its anxiolytic or calming properties – both anecdotally as well as in the literature.
    I did, however, find some other very interesting uses of melatonin, which I talk about in the episode.
     
    I also chat about the use of melatonin as part of the "Chill Protocol" as described by Costa et.al. in JAVMA, 2023:
    Costa, R.S., Jones, T., Robbins, S., Stein, A. and Borns-Weil, S., 2023. Gabapentin, melatonin, and acepromazine combination prior to hospital visits decreased stress scores in aggressive and anxious dogs in a prospective clinical trial. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 261(11), pp.1660-1665.
     
    In summary, melatonin is an extremely interesting neurohormone that has so many incredible effects, however, the jury is still out on its use and effectiveness as an anxiolytic.
    It may, however, be a useful agent for canine and feline patients showing sleep-wake-cycle abnormalities due to Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome.
