In this episode of the Speaking of Pets Podcast, hosts Janet and Alice dive into a topic that many pet owners find both amusing and concerning: the health of our pets' bowel movements. With a flurry of questions from viewers about poop, vomiting, and diarrhea, they welcome their go-to gastrointestinal expert, Dr. Adam Rudinsky. Join the conversation as Janet shares hilarious anecdotes about her friends sending her pictures of unusual pet poop, while Dr. Rudinsky explains how a pet's feces can serve as a window into their overall health. Learn about what constitutes healthy poop, when to be concerned, and why some pets indulge in strange eating habits, like munching on grass or, dare we say, goose poop! The discussion covers a range of topics, including: - Signs of gastrointestinal distress in pets - The mysteries of why dogs eat things they shouldn't - The importance of fecal samples during annual vet visits - Insights on common parasites like Giardia and their zoonotic risks - The effectiveness of dietary interventions versus medications for gastrointestinal issues - Debunking myths around home remedies like canned pumpkin and metronidazole Whether you're a seasoned pet parent or a new owner, this episode is packed with valuable insights and lighthearted banter that every pet lover will appreciate.

How do we make 'resilience' more than just another buzzword and resilience training not just a box to tick for the HR department? Dr Sarah Guess is a specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine and an Associate Professor at Washington State University where she teaches internal medicine. Outside of her clinical work her interests and research are in educational psychology, resilience and wellbeing, and elements of clinical supervision and resident training. Sarah has presented her research on resilience at the national level and is known for her mixed-methods approach to research, and she was the recipient of the 2021 Zoetis Distinguished Teacher Award and the 2020 Wescott Award for clinical teaching. In this episode she shares what she is learning and teaching around fostering resilience in a way that does not just rely on shifting the responsibility onto the individual to 'be more resilient', but rather focuses on the context that our resilience will challenged in. We talk collaborative relationships, workplace culture, model behaviour and we detour into the things that can improve personal resilience. This one is essential listening in particular for anyone who is in a leadership, support, mentoring or teaching role. Topic list: 12:08 Importance of non-punitive error culture. 16:25 Mistakes are expected and respected. 23:49 Resilience in education psychology. 26:33 Focus on faculty well-being first. 33:01 Importance of collaborative mentorship. 39:39 Resilience - it's trained, learned and necessary. 49:59 Embrace growth from negative experiences. 53:20 Exercise is an incredible tool. 56:10 Personal resources that foster resilience. 70:48 Keep showing up, even when it's hard.

Canine hypothyroidism, and the far less common hypoparathyroidism, are fascinating endocrine diseases that provide diagnostic challenges to vets and ongoing management considerations for owners. Small animal internal medicines specialist Laura Bree joins the Vet Times Podcast to delve a little deeper into this subject.

AKC's New Genetic Testing Program to Offer Expanded Insights [caption id="attachment_11992" align="alignleft" width="358"] Dr. Claire Wiley, VMD and her Portugese Water Dog.[/caption] Dr. Claire Wiley, Executive Director of the AKC DNA Program, joins host Laura Reeves with breaking news about the expansion of their testing capabilities. AKC's DNA program will soon include the option to identify traits and genetic diseases, in addition to simple parentage, Wiley announced. “For the past 25 years, the AKC DNA program has really focused on protecting the registry,” Wiley noted. “And they did that using unique identification, kind of like fingerprints and also using those fingerprints to verify parentage. It had more of a regulatory role to it. “A couple years ago, the AKC developed an ad hoc genetics committee. They listened to the breeders (who) were really interested in having more from the DNA program. And that's kind of why I got hired, because we've listened to the feedback and are trying to bring things into the future to really serve our most important constituents, the breeder.” Wiley, a second-generation Portugese Water Dog breeder, is a board certified veterinary specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine. Her passion for genetic health testing started early in life after losing two PWD puppies to juvenile dilated cardiomyopathy. She later worked on the breakthrough studies to identify the genetic marker for protein losing nephropathy in Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. “I'm a breeder. I lived through it from the very beginning and now I'm back here to help bring the DNA program into the future,” Wiley said. “At AKC, we try to focus on all dog owners, but it all starts with the breeders who are producing the healthy dogs for all dog owners. “The fundamental process will essentially be the same where you use a cheek swab to collect DNA and you go online to activate it. When you first go in to buy the swabs, there will be two products. The original parentage product will be called the AKC Original DNA profile and then the one that includes health tests and traits will be called the AKC Signature DNA profile. “So when you're actually on what we call our shop page where you're buying the swabs, you have an option of choosing either just the Original profile, which is the $50 kit that provides parentage, or you can choose the option that still includes that $50 original profile, but also has health and traits available. “We're really hoping to launch this by mid 2023 at the latest, hopefully April. A lot of these companies say there are over 200 markers that they're testing for, but if you actually talk to breeders, they're probably focused on 2, 3, maybe 0 for that specific breed. So, we are taking the experts, you know, the Breeders, and having them tell us what we should be including as important markers for them. “The parent clubs have what we call parent club health statement letters where they actually say this is what we are concerned about as a breed and as a group, and so we're using those letters to determine which testing is the most important for that breed.” Listen to the full episode for more from Dr. Wiley.

This week on the show, Petrendologist Charlotte Reed and Michael Fleck, DVM, talk with Mississippi State University's Dr. Patty Lathan, Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine about canine diabetes, and the Animal Policy Institute's Mark Cushing about pet industry news.

70+ episdoes into the podcast, and not a single episode with a vet nurse. Shame on us! But we're changing that with this episode through a conversation with a vet tech who is leading the charge into the future of vet nursing. Kenichiro Yagi is Chief Veterinary Nursing Office at the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG), where his role is to help develop career pathways in veterinary nursing and raising nursing care standards and competency. Ken is a Registered Veterinary Technician and Veterinary Technician Specialist in Emergency and Critical Care and Small Animal Internal Medicine with a Master's Degree in Veterinary Sciences. He also serves as program director for the Recover Initiative, a global effort to standardise how veterinary CPR is performed around the world. He's received a whole host of awards, including veterinary technician of the year in 2016, and he's been pushing the standards of nursing for two decades through his teaching and training, speaking and writing. "There's a lot more to veterinary medicine than just being a vet, and there's a lot more care that the patients need. And I've certainly created my own career out of it." So who's this episode for? Well, we've always been a podcast primarily for vets, and that hasn't changed. We'd love for this conversation to help open the eyes of our vets to the possibilities, the talent and the passion that is right under your nose and to give you some ideas of what that talent is capable of and how you can help steer it. But it's definitely also an episode for nurses and techs. I challenge you as a nurse to listen to this and NOT feel the desire to find new ways to extend yourself and to make even more of a difference! Ken's story is a real eye-opener about what is possible in your nursing career in the right environment.

Noter og links på: SIVP.dk/163 Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) er et patofysiologisk sygdomskompleks, der opstår på grund af et proportionelt misforhold mellem pladsen i kraniet og de indvendige bløde dele. Men BOAS er meget andet end besværet vejrtrækning. Det kan også vise sig som søvnapnø, opkast af skum, diarre, blodpropper og m.m. Stefanie Mitze er oprindelig fra Tyskland, men er uddannet dyrlæge i Ungarn i 2010. Hun har siden taget et residency i Small Animal Internal Medicine, og er efterfølgende flyttet til England, hvor hun bor og arbejder i dag. I denne podcast fortæller Stefanie om sin egen tilgang til BOAS-patienter, og hvilke sekundære sygdomme, der ofte følger med.

Dive down the esophagus with us to get a clearer picture.    Question of the Week Do you have a memorable patient that had megaesophagus?

GI issues are one of the most common reasons why pets are presented to veterinarians. Dogs love to eat first and think later…one of the reasons why our canine companions are prone to the heartbreak of diarrhea. Cats however are more prone to becoming constipated. Occasional slow down of our bowels happens to all of us but chronic constipation can be life threatening. How do you know if your cat is constipated? What can you do to prevent it? How do you treat a cat that is full of it? My guest is Dr. Anthony Carr, Board Certified in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Professor of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. EPISODE NOTES: Is Your Cat Full of It? The Constipated Cat, Causes and Care

The debate over the need and safety of vaccines in pets and people seems to always be in the news. Is their risk worth their purported benefits? Do vaccines cause autism in children? Do vaccines cause cancer in pets? You got your flu vaccine last year and you still came down with the flu…what gives? To answer questions on vaccines in pets is my guest Liza Rudolph. She is a boarded veterinary technician specialist in Canine and Feline Clinical Practice along with Small Animal Internal Medicine. She works in both general and referral practices, lectures and publishes articles for pet owners and veterinary professionals. More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - Vaccine Myths on Pet Life Radio.

This is the second part of my discussion on blocked cats with Dr Rosanne Jepson, Lecturer in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Dominic Barfield, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care; and in absentia with Nicola Kulendra, Lecturer in Small Animal Surgery. And of course like in the first episode I can't help but chip in as well!

Tomcats with urethral obstruction are sadly a common small animal emergency population; this problem is one of the 'classics' no doubt, and with the potential to be fatal. Survival rates in the short-term can be extremely high with the right approach to stabilisation and management, medium-to-long term the prognosis can be more guarded. In a slightly roundtable fashion I am joined to discuss this topic by Dr Rosanne Jepson, Lecturer in Small Animal Internal Medicine; by Dominic Barfield, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care; and in absentia by Nicola Kulendra, Lecturer in Small Animal Surgery. And of course I can't help but chip in as well! In this two-part podcast series we discuss a whole host of questions surrounding this disorder including what FLUTD is, approach to the blocked cat, and recommendations following successful intervention.

Dogs - and cats - with chronic intermittent gastrointestinal signs are a common population in small animal practice! What's to be done? How should we approach these patients? In this podcast I discuss these questions with Dr Karin Allenspach, Associate Professor and Reader in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Head of the Clinical Investigation Centre (CIC) at the RVC. Karin has a special interest in gastroenterology and especially in canine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which we go on to discuss in more detail here.   As always, if you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email sjasani@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #saclinpod; or use the RVC's Facebook page).
