  • Great content, terrible sound quality

    I enjoy the podcast content and find it very clinically relevant, but the sound quality is so poor generally that I have to force myself to listen through the entire episodes. Please fix it.

  • Please don’t.

    I am currently listening to your episode about spay/neutering. I was very disappointed to hear one of you talk negatively about intact male rottweilers. Please don’t say stuff like that when you have the platform you do.

    I am a veterinarian and I own an intact male rottweiler. He has grown up in a loving environment and he is the most loving dog in the world. I purposely keep him intact in order to spread awareness to people in general and colleagues with your prejudice whom can’t see that the ... more

  • It’s tricky when sponsor overtakes content

    I have to start by saying I have loved this podcast. I have always thought that I picked up really good tips and solid science but that has seem to be slipping… So your last podcast was the tip of vagueness and left me feeling completely uninspired. It went from a veterinary knowledge podcast to soft marketing for Hills I/d diets and absolutely nothing else other than constant repetition of how cats are hard to treat and food is tricky too. In the start Dr Little mentioned that treatment could o... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Calm Before the Procedure: Sedation Success With Dr. Crocker
Q: How do you explain procedural sedation and Xenalpha to clients in a way that reassures them, especially those who are nervous about sedation?
Crocker explains that sedation can prevent repeated stressful handling and make care safer for patients and staff. She shares her own experience sedating her dog for nail trims and says a successful first visit often makes clients more comfortable with sedation later.
The Calm Before the Procedure: Sedation Success With Dr. Crocker
Q: Can you talk about how you define procedural sedation in your practice and maybe why it's become such an important tool, especially as we've seen this industry take a turn into more of that fear-free direction?
Crocker defines it as relaxing a patient enough to complete necessary care without causing stress or injury to the patient or team. She says it supports safer handling and can require a team-wide change in practice culture.
Upper Respiratory Disease in the Adult Cat With Dr. Rudinsky
Q: How do we know when antibiotics are warranted versus when we're using them at a time we shouldn't?
He says well cats with acute nasal signs often recover without antimicrobials, while treatment can be justified for febrile animals with substantial discharge. For chronic cases, he selects antibiotics based on the suspected organism and treats underlying inflammation rather than relying on antibiotics alone.
Upper Respiratory Disease in the Adult Cat With Dr. Rudinsky
Q: When an older cat presents with chronic or recurrent nasal signs, how does your differential list shift, and which non-viral causes are on your list?
After roughly two weeks of sustained signs, Rudinsky considers chronic disorders such as rhinosinusitis and neoplasia in older cats, as well as fungal disease, dental disease, and foreign bodies.
Top 5 Corneal Diseases in Aging Canines With Dr. Foote
Q: Does that change our long-term management and prognosis, or is it really just semantics?
Foote says age-related and immune-mediated dry eye are treated the same way, so there is no need to distinguish between them. Other causes, such as neurogenic dry eye, may require different consideration.
