Heracles is here! Or Hercules... or Alcides... He's got a lot of names. His early life will involve an ancient Greek case of superfecundation, a half-brother who needs a hug, and a lesson that all babies are different. Some may act as pest control for giant snakes!

This is a replay of episode 9 of the Good Dog Pod. About Dr. Marty Greer: Dr. Greer is a renowned author, speaker, veterinarian, and canine reproduction specialist. In addition to being the Director of Veterinary Services at Revival Animal Health, she is on the board of the National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA), the Society for Veterinary Medical Ethics, American Veterinary Medical Law Association, and the Society for Theriogenology. About Sheryl Bradbury: Sheryl Bradbury is the Owned Brands Manager at Revival Animal Health, where she oversees the Breeder's Edge, Doc Roy's, and Vet Basics brands. Sheryl grew up falling asleep in the whelping box and has bred champions from several breeds. Today she raises Grand Basset Griffon Vendeens and Lancashire Heelers. She is the president of the United States Lancashire Heeler Club and also holds board positions in various dog clubs and animal health foundations. In addition to her breeding experience, Sheryl brings 30 years of product management experience in the veterinary industry to her role at Revival. Reproduction is a luxury for a dog's body, and can only happen if the body is already able to take care of its vital organs. We can't overlook the nutrients that are often missed by the main pet food companies that are important to making a dog as healthy as possible for breeding. Thus, supplements are critical for keeping breeding dogs healthy for reproduction. Dr. Greer gives some specific examples of the nutrients required for healthy breeding dogs and what they do for the reproductive system, as well as what they do for the puppies' health. Dr. Greer also talks about the importance of getting the right nutrients to stud dogs for breeding, in addition to the more commonly-talked about health of the bitch. Sheryl talks about some of the products Revival Animal Health offers, and how they support dogs' reproductive health. She goes over the extensive research and development Revival Animal Health goes through to develop their products - making sure that they are created based on current reproductive and nutritional science and are reviewed by experts. Dr. Greer talks about the recent research surrounding folic acid and its benefits.

This is a rebroadcasting of an episode that originally aired July 22nd, 2020. The two most common problems with fertility are timing (with respect to the female) and having good quality semen that's delivered into the uterus. Another problem that's becoming increasingly important is the nutrition of the bitch and stud dog. About Dr. Greer: Dr. Greer is a renowned author, speaker, veterinarian, and canine reproduction specialist. In addition to being the Director of Veterinary Services at Revival Animal Health, she is on the board of the National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA), the Society for Veterinary Medical Ethics, American Veterinary Medical Law Association, and the Society for Theriogenology. Laura and Marty start by discussing the importance of nutrition - what people feed their dogs, how they feed, and what consequences those factors can have on the success of a breeding. There is likely a nutritional component to the quality of a stud dog's semen in addition to fertility and the female - this is something that hasn't been very explored, but is becoming more evident. They then talk about the importance of progesterone timing and how using frozen vs fresh semen interacts with that. There's a narrow window of time during which the puppies need to come out - they also discuss the downsides of reverse progesterone testing (done at the end of pregnancy). Last, they discuss the importance of having your bitch in good physical condition - fit but not too lean. You also want your bitch to have good dental health. Overall, you want your dog to be in top notch shape for breeding.

Today on the podcast we have Dr. Kristina Baltutis. Dr. Kristina Baltutis grew up in Orlando, FL and moved to North Carolina in 2006 to attend college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  After graduating in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Minors in Chemistry and Marine Science, she accepted a position in Greensboro, NC teaching high school science. While teaching, she completed a Master of Animal Science through distance education at North Carolina State University. It was during this program that she fully embraced her interest in reproductive medicine and assisted reproductive technology and decided to return to school to complete her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. While in veterinary school, Dr. Baltutis documented her experience on her blog, The Other Side of the Desk. She feels that she was a much better student for having been a teacher, and feels she has an unusual perspective for having crossed from one side to the other and back again. She continues to enjoy teaching in her current role as an associate veterinarian and believes that establishing a positive learning environment is important for developing trust and promoting happiness. (Which is why I love doing this podcast so much!) Dr. Baltutis served as president of the NCSU Student Chapter of the Society for Theriogenology (reproductive medicine) for two years, and the group was named Student Chapter of the Year at the 2016 Conference of the Society for Theriogenology. She now serves on the Board of Directors for the Society for Theriogenology with a particular interest in promoting initiatives to support students and recent graduates. She is also a member of the AVMA'S Early Career Development Committee. She has reproductive medical experience with a wide range of species, including several zoo and wildlife species!   I met Dr. Kristina at a conference and we ended up being roommates!  I could not have asked for a better one!   Well Bret Vet Website LinkedIn Facebook Page

Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, is an international leader in veterinary medicine, providing specialized medical and surgical care to all equine breeds and disciplines. Dr. W. Thomas Riddle and Dr. Bill Rood founded the full-service equine hospital in 1986 and, ever since, it’s known throughout the world for its commitment to quality care and relationships with clients and the surrounding community. Its talented staff has provided full-service medical and surgical support to some of the most famous equines in the world, earning the practice the nickname of “the Mayo Clinic for horses.” Now owned by 26 shareholders, Rood & Riddle has satellite campuses in Saratoga Springs, New York, and Wellington, Florida.   Rood & Riddle is actively involved in owner education and outreach. In recognition of their connection to the Thoroughbred racing industry and the need for aftercare programs, Rood & Riddle established the RR Thoroughbred Sport Horse Awards, given annually to the top Thoroughbreds competing in dressage, eventing, hunter and jumper classes at US Equestrian Federation shows. In addition, the practice presents the Rood & Riddle Comeback Award to the equine athlete who conquers a major health complication and ultimately returns to elite competition after receiving care by the Rood & Riddle staff.   Veterinary medicine is a family tradition in the Riddle family. Riddle is the son of a veterinarian and several of his children have connections to the field. Riddle is originally from Greenville, South Carolina, and attended veterinary school at the University of Georgia. He relocated to Kentucky after graduation to intern with Dr. Dan Witherspoon at Spendthrift Farm.   Riddle has been the president of the Kentucky Association of Equine Practitioners, the Society for Theriogenology and The Theriogenology Foundation. He was awarded the Steiner Award for Excellence in the Practice of Theriogenology and is an honorary member of the American College of Theriogenologists. He currently has a busy breeding practice in central Kentucky and is the director of public relations for Rood & Riddle.   In this episode, Elise and Dr. Riddle discuss his experience as the first veterinarian to discover Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome (MRLS), which ultimately cost the industry over $100 million and put him in an unexpected international media spotlight, but also lay the groundwork for an unprecedented collaboration between veterinarians around the globe. Dr. Riddle also shares his perspective on Rood & Riddle’s evolution from its early days to its recognition as The Mayo Clinic for Horses; offers advice to current and aspiring veterinarians; and discusses his perspective on the future of veterinary medicine and science in the next 20–30 years. Elise and Dr. Riddle also talk about his typical day, the types of cases seen in their reproductive practice (the LeBlanc Reproductive Center), and recounts some of his best memories delivering amazing news to horse owners.   Tune in to hear it all!   Topics of Discussion: [:25] About today’s guest.

Welcome to Bark & Wag 15 Minute Vet Talk – I am your host Polly ReQua Today we are talking to Dr. Kathy Sennello, a Veterinarian at Veterinary Specialty Care in Mount Pleasant, SC. We are discussing the different type of Vet Specialists you can visit with your dog.  Dr. Sennello, thank you for taking the time to talk to all of us.  What is a Veterinary Specialist? What is a Specialist? What type of training do they receive? How do you find one in your area? What is difference between your family Vet, a Specialist and what they offer you and your pet?   Veterinary Specialists A veterinary specialist is a veterinarian who has completed additional training in a specific area of veterinary medicine and has passed an examination that evaluates their knowledge and skills in that specialty area. Currently, there are 22 AVMA-recognized veterinary specialty organizations comprising 41 distinct specialties. Veterinarians can be specialists in behavior, ophthalmology (eye diseases), internal medicine, surgery, dentistry and many more areas. The specialty organizations are referred to as "colleges," but they're not schools or universities. The specialist's expertise complements that of your veterinarian. You may be referred to a veterinary specialist if diagnosing or treating your pet's health problem requires specialized equipment and/or expertise that your veterinarian does not have. It's critical that you, your veterinarian and the veterinary specialist communicate and work together to provide the best care for your pet. Here's a list of veterinary specialties recognized by the American Board of Veterinary Specialties, with very simple descriptions of what these specialists do. For more information about the specialties, click the link to go to the website of the specialty college responsible for certifying veterinarians in that specialty: Anesthesia: veterinarians who focus on making sure animals feel less or no pain associated with veterinary procedures Animal Welfare: veterinarians with specialized training and experience in animal welfare Behavior: veterinarians with additional training in animal behavior Dentistry: veterinarians who perform procedures on animals' teeth Dermatology: veterinarians who study diseases and conditions of the skin Emergency and Critical Care: the "ER docs" and intensive care specialists Internal Medicine, which includes specialties in Cardioloy: the study of diseases and conditions of the heart and circulatory system Neurology: the study of diseases of the brain, spinal cord and other parts of the nervous system Oncology: the study of tumors and cancer Laboratory Animal Medicine: veterinarians working in research or in practice, making sure that laboratory animal species (rabbits, rats, mice, etc.) receive proper care. Microbiology: veterinarians who study viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. Nutrition: veterinarians working to make sure that animals' diets meet their body's needs for nutrients Ophthalmology: veterinarians studying diseases and conditions of the eye Pathology: veterinarians studying disease in animals Pharmacology: veterinarians studying how medications/drugs affect animals Poultry Veterinarians: veterinarians who work with chickens, turkeys and/or ducks, usually in food production settings Preventive Medicine: veterinarians who study how diseases are spread and how they can be prevented Radiology: veterinarians who focus on the study of x-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (often called CAT scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other imaging procedures that allow us to see "inside" an animal's body Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation: veterinarians who focus on returning animals to normal function after injury, lameness, illness or surgery Surgery: veterinarians who specialize in performing surgery. A certified surgeon will be certified in either small animal surgery or large animal surgery.
