Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showThere is a lot of confusion in the magnesium space. Which form is better? What is all of this elemental magnesium talk? Here's the scoop, claims that magnesium oxide is better are based on misinterpreted comparisons, typically magnesium oxide vs magnesium citrate, and/or on something called elemental magnesium content, rather than true bioavailability. And here's a hint, when you evaluate magnesium types using mineral physiology principles and broader magnesium literature, these claims are not supported. ------CitationsSchuette et al., 1994 Bioavailability of magnesium diglycinate vs magnesium oxide Demonstrated alternative absorption mechanisms for chelated magnesium.Coudray et al., 2005 Comparative absorption of different magnesium salts using stable isotopes Showed differences in absorption and retention across magnesium forms, salt only comparison.Schuchardt & Hahn, 2017 Intestinal absorption and factors influencing magnesium bioavailability Comprehensive review of Mg transport mechanisms (TRPM6/7, passive vs active).Werner et al., 2019 Magnesium citrate vs oxide bioavailabilityNational Research Council (NRC), Nutrient Requirements of Horses Documents magnesium metabolism and absorption sites in horses.

Veterinary medicine asks a lot of the people who practice it. To continue showing up for difficult cases, emotional clients, and challenging demands, many veterinarians learn to put on “emotional armor,” like humor and control.

Dr. Joerg Steiner—one of the most respected authorities in veterinary gastroenterology—returns to the Purr Podcast for a deep, science-driven discussion on complex feline gastrointestinal disease. Internationally recognized for his work on pancreatic and intestinal disorders, Dr. Steiner brings decades of research, diagnostic insight, and clinical experience to the table. In this episode, we explore the pathophysiology and diagnostic challenges of feline pancreatitis, confront the notoriously problematic entity known as triaditis, and critically examine the overlap—and distinction—between chronic GI inflammation and gastrointestinal lymphoma in cats. The conversation highlights current diagnostic tools, limitations of histopathology, the role of biomarkers, and practical strategies for clinicians navigating these gray zones in everyday practice. A must-listen for anyone who manages cats with chronic GI disease and wants to move beyond frustration toward evidence-based clarity.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

They discuss the use of heavy sedatives like Acepromazine and Dexmedetomidine, multi-drug induction protocols, and the unique properties of Alfaxalone. Learn how to tailor drug combinations to individual patient needs, minimize side effects, and optimize anesthetic outcomes. What You'll Learn:  ✅ Understand the peak effects of Acepromazine and how it influences anesthetic planning.  ✅ Discover strategies for minimizing cardiovascular effects with Dexmedetomidine.  ✅ Simplify multi-drug induction protocols for balanced anesthesia.  ✅ Apply best practices for Ketamine administration to increase heart rate.  ✅ Master the use of Alfaxalone, including its unique properties and versatility.  ✅ Recognize the importance of pre-oxygenation and monitoring during induction. Key Takeaways:  ✅ Acepromazine's peak effects occur 30-60 minutes post-administration; adjust vaporizer settings accordingly.  ✅ Combining Dexmedetomidine with other drugs allows for lower doses and reduced cardiopulmonary side effects.  ✅ Pre-oxygenate and initiate monitoring before administering induction drugs to address potential complications proactively.  ✅ Ketamine can be used as an IV bolus to increase heart rate by 10-20 beats per minute.  ✅ Alfaxalone is a cardiac and respiratory stable induction drug suitable for unstable and critical patients. Questions This Episode Answers: ❓ When should you choose moderate vs. heavy sedation in veterinary dental patients? ❓ How can you safely combine Acepromazine or Dexmedetomidine with other drugs to reduce side effects? ❓ Why don't Acepromazine's sedative effects peak immediately—and how should that change your anesthetic plan? ❓ How do you adjust vaporizer settings when sedatives are still peaking during induction? ❓ When is a single-drug induction appropriate versus a multi-drug induction protocol? ❓ How can Ketamine be strategically used to increase heart rate during anesthesia? ❓ Why is pre-oxygenation and monitoring before induction critical for patient safety? ❓ How does Alfaxalone compare to Propofol in fragile, unstable, or critical patients? ❓ Can Alfaxalone be safely used IM, IV, or as a CRI—and in which species? ❓ How do you minimize cardiovascular, respiratory, and thermoregulatory compromise during anesthesia? —------------------------------------------------------------------- Explore Dr. Beckman's complete library of veterinary dentistry courses and CE resources!

Horse owners often feed supplements to address gaps in their horses' diet that forage and concentrates might not meet, such as supporting joint comfort, hoof quality, or muscle recovery. Researchers suggest that supplements can be beneficial when a horse has a documented deficiency, such as low vitamin or mineral levels, or a clearly identified need, such as poor hoof quality. Owners should always consult a veterinarian or an equine nutritionist when choosing supplements for their horses and prioritize products backed by research.During this Ask TheHorse Live episode, two experts answer questions and discuss everything you need to know about equine supplements. This episode is brought to you by SmartEquine. About the Experts: Frank M. Andrews, DVM, MS, Dipl.
