On this week's episode, Shadi Ireifej, DVM, DACVS-SA, and our host Adam Christman, DVM, MBA, have a conversation about the evolution and impact telementorship and teletriage has on veterinary medicine,  the integration of artifical intelligence in the veterinary industry, and the industry shifting to accept telehealth after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

For pet owners, a diagnosis such as cancer or chronic disease often brings difficult decisions and limited treatment options, many of which involve invasive procedures. While human medicine has advanced significantly, many of these innovations have been slower to reach veterinary care, underscoring the need for more effective and less invasive approaches to animal health. In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Philip Bergman, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVIM-Oncology, Veterinary Program Director at the Focused Ultrasound Foundation. Dr. Bergman oversees Foundation-funded preclinical research and the clinical studies that enroll companion animals, helping to accelerate translational progress across species.  The conversation explores emerging applications of focused ultrasound in veterinary medicine, including its potential role in treating osteosarcoma, glioblastoma, feline diabetes, and other complex conditions. Dr. Bergman also discusses the collaborative One Medicine approach and how it is advancing care for both animals and people.  Discussion highlights: One Medicine Revolution: Companion animals naturally develop many of the same diseases as humans, allowing veterinary research to inform human medicine—and vice versa—through a shared, translational approach. Breakthroughs in Standard of Care: He shares his vision for a “bench-to-bedside-to-kennel” cycle, in which insights from animal clinical trials accelerate human therapies and human breakthroughs inspire new, noninvasive treatment options for pets. The Future of Veterinary Technology: Hear about efforts to develop cost-effective, veterinary-specific focused ultrasound systems designed to bring this technology into everyday clinical practice.

Should you get a dog for your dog… or are you about to double your stress, noise, behavior issues, and vet bills?Many pet parents see a bored, clingy, or “lonely” dog (or other pet) and assume the solution is a companion, a boyfriend, girlfriend, sibling, or built-in best friend. But adding another dog doesn't automatically make life easier. It can just as easily increase barking, trigger resource guarding, amplify anxiety, and create daily management problems you didn't have before, especially if you don't actually know why your dog is acting that way in the first place. In this episode, veterinary psychiatrist Dr. Rachel Malamed, DVM, DACVB, CABC, MBA, breaks down when getting a second dog truly helps, when it backfires, and how to tell whether your dog actually needs a companion or just better enrichment, structure, or training, or time with their favorite person - you!BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: • What “my dog is lonely” really means and how to assess it correctly • The most common ways a second dog makes behavior issues worse • The 3-part filter to use before bringing home another dog: capacity, compatibility, and motivationIf you are even considering dog number two, pause and listen to this first.CONNECT WITH DR.

Managing a horse diagnosed with metabolic problems means understanding how conditions such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) and insulin dysregulation increase the risk of serious complications, including laminitis. Horses with metabolic problems often benefit from controlled diets low in sugars and starches, tailored to prevent spikes in blood insulin and support healthy body condition. Regular exercise and weight management should be part of a comprehensive plan because activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and supports overall metabolic health. While there's no cure for these conditions, strategic, research-based care can help improve your metabolic horse's well-being.During this podcast, two experts answer listener questions about managing horses that have metabolic problems.About the Experts: Greg Schmid, DVM, originally from Canada, moved to Ohio as a teenager, where his family trained dressage and eventing horses. He earned a Bachelor of Science in equine science from Otterbein University, in Westerville, Ohio, and a DVM from The Ohio State University, in Columbus. After graduation, Schmid completed an internship at B.W. Furlong & Associates, in Oldwick, New Jersey, and then worked with Dr. John “Doc” Steele in a hunter/jumper-focused practice covering the East Coast. He later practiced in Portland, Oregon, working with various English and Western sport horses. Schmid joined Dechra as an equine professional services veterinarian in September 2020 and now lives in Asheville, North Carolina.Caitrin Lowndes, DVM, is a research fellow at the Van Eps Laminitis and Endocrinology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, in Kennett Square, with a background in field practice. Her main area of research is the improved diagnosis and management of insulin dysregulation, with particular interest in how that research can be translated into clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of laminitis.

This week, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak welcome David Nietzke, the Chief Operating Officer at Snout, to discuss a transformative approach to veterinary wellness plans. As veterinary costs rise and visit frequencies decline, many clinics struggle with "legacy" wellness models that create administrative nightmares and delayed cash flow. David shares how Snout has redesigned the experience by financing transactions upfront, ensuring clinics get paid immediately while pet owners enjoy predictable, interest-free monthly payments. You will learn how removing the financial barrier of the exam fee can skyrocket client compliance and visit frequency. From mapping messy PIMS codes to securing a $110M capital injection to fund clinic payouts, David explains how Snout aligns the incentives of the pet owner, the provider, and the patient. This episode offers a roadmap for any practice looking to transition from reactive care to a thriving, proactive preventive model without the traditional risks of "do-it-yourself" plans. Learn more about the Snout. David recommends TEDx Talks: "What Being a Veterinarian Really Takes" by Melanie Bowden, DVM

The discussion covers extraction technique modifications, bur selection for challenging teeth, and evidence-based use of hyaluronic acid and bone grafts in periodontal and surgical cases. Dr. Beckman explains why he has shifted away from routine vestibular bone removal for certain extractions—particularly the mandibular third and fourth premolars—and instead emphasizes controlled sectioning, gentle elevation, and patience to reduce root fracture risk. He shares practical tips on finger pressure, visualization with loupes, and how this technique improves efficiency and outcomes in both clinical cases and wet labs. The episode also explores the biological role of hyaluronic acid in extraction sites and periodontal defects. Dr. Beckman and colleagues clarify the differences between PerioVive and OralVive, explain why retention is not the primary goal of hyaluronic acid therapy, and discuss its benefits for clot stabilization, pain modulation, angiogenesis, and soft tissue healing. The conversation addresses when hyaluronic acid should be used in extraction sites, how it integrates with blood clots and bone grafts, and why products like ClinDoral no longer have a role in these scenarios. Finally, Dr. Beckman dives into one of the most challenging topics in veterinary dentistry: deciding when to save a tooth versus extract it. He breaks down why percentage-based bone loss alone is not a reliable extraction rule, and instead emphasizes case selection based on tooth function, patient age, defect type, and—most importantly—owner commitment to long-term follow-up and home care. This episode delivers thoughtful, experience-driven guidance to help veterinarians make confident, ethical, and practical dental decisions. ---------------------------------------------------------- What You'll Learn: ✅ When vestibular bone removal may increase root fracture risk ✅ How to approach difficult premolar extractions with minimal force ✅ Why sectioning and gentle elevation can replace aggressive bone removal ✅ Proper bur selection for sectioning thick alveolar bone ✅ The biological role of hyaluronic acid in clot stabilization and healing ✅ Key differences between PerioVive and OralVive ✅ Why retention is not the primary goal of hyaluronic acid therapy ✅ When and why to use hyaluronic acid in all extraction sites ✅ How bone grafts and blood clots support alveolar ridge preservation ✅ How to decide when a tooth is worth saving versus extracting Key Takeaways: ✅ Root fractures often occur at the interface between mobile and immobile bone ✅ Gentle, controlled elevation reduces complications more than force ✅ Removing less bone can sometimes improve extraction outcomes ✅ Hyaluronic acid is rapidly absorbed and supports natural healing pathways ✅ Pain modulation is a major benefit of HA in extraction sites ✅ Blood clots function as natural bone grafts ✅ Percentage of bone loss alone should not dictate extraction decisions ✅ Patient age, tooth function, and owner compliance matter most ✅ Long-term success depends on consistent rechecks and home care ✅ Some teeth can be saved—but not always in the patient's best interest Questions This Episode Answers: ❓ Should fissure burs be used for mandibular premolar extractions in dogs? ❓ Why do roots fracture after vestibular bone removal? ❓ How much pressure should be used during elevation? ❓ What is the difference between PerioVive and OralVive? ❓ Does hyaluronic acid need to "stay in place" to be effective? ❓ Should hyaluronic acid be used in every extraction site? ❓ Is a blood clot considered a bone graft? ❓ When should a tooth with severe bone loss be saved instead of extracted? ❓ How important is owner compliance in periodontal case selection? ❓ Is there still any indication for ClinDoral use?

In this episode of The Resilient Vet: Mind and Body Strategies for Success, hosts Aaron Shaw, OTR/L, CHT, CSCS, and Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP, discuss how physical and emotional preparation before shifts can help veterinary professionals become more resilient in their careers. They explain that resilience is not a "switch" one flips, nor a product that can be bought. Rather, it is a skill set developed through intentional physical and emotional warm-ups before a shift even begins.They also explore the concept of the “veterinary athlete”: The idea that surviving the physical and emotional demands of a long shift requires the same kind of intentional warm-up and training an athlete brings to game day. To help veterinary professionals build this resilience, Shaw and Edwards share tips and exercises that veterinary professionals can use to strengthen their mental and physical resilience in their roles.

What if a $10 purchase used 2 minutes a day could help your pet live better and longer? Most pet parents know they “should” brush their pet's teeth, but fewer than 10% actually do. So, dental disease quietly builds for years and doesn't stay in the mouth, but instead, silently spreads bacteria throughout your pet's body impacting their organs, their health, and their longevity. Spending just $10 on a tooth-brush kit and taking 2 minutes a day to brush your pet's teeth, you'll be investing in a better quality, longer life for your pet.  In this episode, board-certified veterinary dentist Dr. Chanda Miles explains why dental health is really about quality of life and longevity, why small dogs and cats tend to get into trouble faster, and what real prevention looks like when life gets busy. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: • Why dental disease is more than a teeth problem, and how it can affect overall health • Why small dogs and cats are higher risk, and why brushing can feel difficult to do • What a proper dental cleaning includes, why anesthesia-free cleanings fall short, and when a veterinary dentist may be worth it CONNECT WITH DR.

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.
