When to Express a Bladder

In the first video of our Vet HowTo series on bladder expression, Zoe Chapman, Neurology Nurse at Langford Vets, introduces this important clinical skill and the role it plays in patient care. Zoe outlines why bladder expression may be required, which patients are most likely to need it, and the key factors to consider before starting. The video also explores when bladder expression is appropriate and when it should be avoided, with a focus on patient comfort, safety, and welfare. This practical introduction lays the groundwork for the next video in the series, where Zoe will demonstrate how to perform bladder expression safely and effectively on a male dog. Designed for both vets and veterinary nurses, the Vet HowTo series provides clear, accessible guidance to help build confidence and consistency in clinical practice.
