  • Advocating for the profession and patients

    I enjoy Dr. Roark’s episodes on better patient care while understanding both the pet’s and owner’s needs. Guests are knowledgeable. I may not agree with every episode, but I feel I learn something and I can respect where he is coming from.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

420 - Should You Still Have Cannabinoid Medicines On Your Shelf?
Q: What are important contraindications or cautions when using cannabinoids with other medications?
Avoid combining cannabinoids with high doses of gabapentin, trazodone, tramadol, or phenobarbital without careful monitoring due to potential sedation and risk of serotonin syndrome; monitor blood pressure, liver values, and watch for sedative effects especially in the first week or two.
420 - Should You Still Have Cannabinoid Medicines On Your Shelf?
Q: How should clinicians approach starting a patient on cannabinoid products and avoid overwhelming families?
Start with a clear dosing framework (e.g., 2 mg/kg twice daily for a quality CBD product) and tailor to the condition, product formulation, and individual response; emphasize brand quality, evidence backing, and monitor for interactions and liver concerns, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
420 - Should You Still Have Cannabinoid Medicines On Your Shelf?
Q: What do we even call this branch of medicine, and how do terminology choices affect practice and legality?
The conversation settles on cannabinoid medicine as a broad, catch-all term that includes cannabis, hemp-derived products, and CBD, with distinctions made around industrial hemp (0.3% THC or less) versus medical cannabis (more than 0.3% THC), which helps navigate legal and regulatory environments.
417 - Making Veterinary Medicine Work for the People Who Do It
Q: Why is unity among veterinarians especially important now?
There is significant external interest in changing how medicine is practiced; standing together with organized medicine helps protect the profession and ensure policies serve pets and public safety.
417 - Making Veterinary Medicine Work for the People Who Do It
Q: How do you see the interaction between private practices and corporate practices in the future?
Both models should exist and work cohesively, offering different benefits like work-life balance and ownership opportunities, and not be treated as a strict dichotomy.
