It's always exciting to watch a group of replacement heifers develop and anticipate their performance in the milking string as the top genetics of your herd. There is just about nothing more devastating than freshening them in to find mastitis or even worse, a blind quarter. When a first calf heifer calves in with a high somatic cell count she is more likely to maintain the high count, and more likely to be culled. Heifer mastitis, or intramammary infection (IMI), is a common affliction yet we know very little about what stage of production it occurs and how to best diagnosis the root of the problem.  Pamela Adkins, DVM at the University of Missouri worked with a team to capture culture samples from a variety of stages of heifer development to fabricate standard protocols for sample collection and help producers better understand how to circumvent this disease cycle for their herd. Listen in to learn how to improve heifer development and limit the tragedy of damaged replacements. Topics of discussion 1:51       Introduction of Dr. Pamela Adkins 2:26       Why is this topic important 4:17       Establishing standard sampling procedures 5:11       Cisternal puncturing 7:43       Comparison of sample collection 8:37       Grouping to determine when IMI begins in heifers 10:27     Causes and severity of infections 11:53     Feeding raw milk to hutch heifers 12:51     Normal microflora vs mastitis causing 15:36     If you have a heifer mastitis problem, what's the next steps 17:21     What's the best way to collect a sample? 18:44     Where to send aseptic samples 19:54     To freeze or not to freeze 21:48     Why were gestating heifers 8x as likely to have IMI? 23:05     What do you want “boots on the ground” dairymen to learn from this project?

Hind-limb lameness in horses can be challenging for owners to spot and veterinarians to diagnose. It can affect horses of all ages and disciplines.

Catching hind-limb lameness early can improve your horse's well-being and long-term soundness. Two experts answer listener questions about recognizing, diagnosing, and managing hind-limb lameness in horses in this archived Ask TheHorse Live podcast.

Gain valuable insights into making informed extraction decisions and managing challenging cases. What You'll Learn ✅ The root cause of feline juvenile onset periodontitis and its similarities to general periodontal disease. ✅ Why the immune system plays a critical role in the rapid progression of this condition. ✅ Whether certain breeds are more prone to developing juvenile onset periodontitis. ✅ If medications like anti-inflammatories are beneficial before extractions for severe gingivitis. ✅ The importance of identifying and addressing retained root tips through post-operative radiographs. ✅ How to interpret radiographic signs of bone loss and furcation involvement. ✅ The factors that influence the decision to extract teeth affected by juvenile periodontitis. Key Takeaways ✅ Aggressive Progression: Feline juvenile onset periodontitis is characterized by rapid and severe tissue destruction. ✅ Immune Response: An overactive immune response to plaque antigens drives the disease process. ✅ Breed Predisposition: Exotic breeds with dental crowding may be more susceptible. ✅ Limited Medication Impact: Medications offer minimal benefit in improving tissue viability before extractions. ✅ Radiographic Vigilance: Post-operative radiographs are crucial for detecting retained root tips. ✅ Extraction as a Solution: Early extraction may be the best course of action to prevent further bone loss and disease progression. ✅ Furcation Involvement: Significant bone loss in the furcation area often indicates the need for extraction.

In this powerful episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we sit down with writer and grieving mother Annie Peppiatt, and placental researcher Sharanam Soni, to explore the devastating reality of stillbirth, the silent epidemic of placenta-related complications, and the hope rising through pioneering medical research into delayed villous maturation (DVM). Annie shares the raw and deeply personal story of losing her daughter, Ness, at 38 weeks of pregnancy, despite a previously healthy pregnancy. She speaks candidly about the trauma, guilt, and the haunting “what ifs” that plague so many bereaved mothers. We also explore her healing journey, including the inception of the Ness Fund, which now supports life-saving research into placental disorders at Tommy's. Sharanam, a passionate reproductive science researcher, brings a unique perspective to the discussion - explaining the science behind delayed villous maturation, why it's so under-researched, and how this work could help identify at-risk pregnancies before it's too late. This is an essential listen for: Parents who've experienced stillbirth or miscarriage Advocates of maternal and fetal health Health professionals seeking to understand grief and placental pathology Anyone navigating pregnancy after loss, reproductive trauma, or infertility Together, Annie and Sharanam are changing the narrative - from silence to science, from grief to legacy.

Conditioning for Canine AthletesHost Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Ashley Nixon to discuss conditioning our canine athletes, whether for the show ring, dock diving, agility and more."Cardio's good for everybody," Nixon said, "but I think it's really important to consider the sport you're doing and what you're asking your dog to do. They can be cardiovascularly fit, but maybe they don't have the propulsion to do some dock diving or agility, right? So I think it's super important to kind of keep that in mind and not just say, hey, I walk my dog, we go for a run, we're fit, we're good."I like a ton of stuff you can actually do at home with basic equipment (for conditioning work). You can have them do some push-ups on an unstable surface, like a little exercise ball. You can have them pivot. It's great. Front end up, back end up. I love sit to stands for these guys and you can do a ton of different variations. You can have them do it on a mattress, Fit Bones are great. Cavalettis are great for these guys. You can especially pick up some changes in their gait or change their gait."(Cavalettis) are super versatile and if you want some flexion, you can have serpentines over the cavalettis and arrange them in, you know, semi circles, get some nice spinal flexion. Like that."Listen to the full episode for more from:Dr Ashley Nixon DVM, CVA, CVMRT, CVSMT, FCOAC, CAMP, CSCCChief of StaffDr. Ashley Nixon knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since she was just 3 years old.
