As an integrative veterinarian, she is on a mission to provide a balanced approach of both science-based medical practice and the art of healing.

As a child, did you ask lots of questions? For many veterinary professionals, a desire to know how things worked (such as biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) came naturally when we were young. In fact, a love of learning is needed to grow and constantly improve in this field. There is always a new technology or device to try, an emerging medication to explore, and cutting-edge surgical procedure to practice. For Dr. Fabian Rivers, curiosity played a large role in his success. When asked what three qualities most contributed to his achievements, he answered with “curiosity, community, and composure.” Quite fittingly, his mission is to, “Remain curious about life.” On this episode of 21 Questions with Vet Candy, we meet the amazing Dready Vet, Dr. Fabian Rivers, and he tells us about his love for vegan goat curry and how he had to explain to "Megatron's" pet parent that he was actually a she!   We love you for listening!   #veterinary #veterinarypodcast #21Questions #funnypodcasts

Veterinarian. Musician. Author. Actor. Those are the titles Dr. Greg is known for. And though he serves on multiple boards as a consultant as well as a mentor for aspiring veterinarians, he also understands that there's more to life than just “work.” In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that most veterinarians work full time, often clocking more than 40 hours per week – including nights and weekends. That's a whole lot of time dedicated to caring for others. As such, vets need to be careful not to lose their sense of self and become consumed by work identities. Remember, you are more than your job! Dr. Shaw explains: “My mission in life is to inspire the world to dream in a way that transcends professional or societal norms and to create your own path and own who you were created to be. Your purpose. Your dreams. Your way.” On this episode of 21 Questions with Vet Candy, we learn about the time Dr. Greg bought a ticket to Thailand on a whim and how if he had a time machine, he would use it to go back in time to jam with Charlie Parker.     

For millions of people (and pets) around the globe, life changed when Covid-19 hit. Before the pandemic, it was easy to book an appointment with a veterinarian. But during the scariest days of the virus outbreak, suddenly pet owners had to wait weeks before getting the veterinary care their beloved fur babies needed. Unable to see as many patients as he normally would, Dr. Zonram Liao knew something had to be done. Thus, Wellnergy Pets was born! Dr. Liao explains, “I believe that pet care, at its core, starts with a proactive approach at home with pet owners. My goal is to improve the lives of people and their pets by providing the best at-home pet care in the form of high-quality pet products and supplements.” From managing a pet's chronic disease to helping clients avoid unnecessary trips to the vet, Wellnergy offers safe and effective solutions.  Get to know Dr. Zonram on 21 Questions with Vet Candy!

It takes a long time to become a veterinarian. In addition to elementary school and high school, there is undergrad and then another several years completing a DVM. But when all is said and done, endless opportunities await, and that's a very exciting feeling. For Brittney Kilgore, every second has been worth it. In addition to all that schooling, she has been a veterinary technician and assistant for seven years. Now, the doors are wide open for her. Dr. Kilgore's ultimate mission in life? “To be happy within and outside of my career,” she says. “I want to continue to open the doors to less common avenues of veterinary medicine such as feline only medicine and integrative practices while also emphasizing how important it is to maintain your life outside of work with relationships, your health, and your own leisure.” In five years, she hopes to be “my same self but a little wiser and experienced.” And (if the stars align) also open her own feline only hospital in the future! Meet this veterinary rising star on 21 Questions with Vet Candy.   We love you for listening!   ▷ LET'S BECOME FRIENDS!! 

Pet animals and their human owners (or, as our expert guest likes to call them, "pet parents") truly share a special connection that transcends species and biology. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over 80 households in the United States owned dogs, cats, birds, and horses back in 2017-2018. Why are we so inclined to consider animals as part of the family, so much so that it is a genuine heartbreak when they leave us? What are the most common diseases pet parents should look out for in their pet's breed and age? Are the anatomy and physiology of animals truly different from humans?We are joined today by Dr. Zonram Liao, a board-certified general practice veterinarian and the Founder and CEO of Wellnergy Pets, the only pet product company fully staffed by actively practicing veterinarians and veterinary nurses. He received his BS in Biology from UC San Diego in 2011 and DVM from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2017, fulfilling his clinical studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Zonram currently practices in multiple small animal clinics throughout Southern California regions, hoping to give back to the community that helped raise him. He appeared on national television in 2021, where the Wellnergy Dental Wipes and Water Additive won "America's Big Deal" on USA Network, making it now available for purchase at Lowe's retail company nationwide. Dr. Liao has also been featured in multiple articles and press, including Fox 40 News, Shoutout LA, and Vet Candy.Livestream Air Date: February 28, 2022Dr. Zonram Liao: IG @dr.zonramliaoWellnergy Pets: IG @wellnergypets & Wed www.wellnergypets.comFriends of Franz: IG @friendsoffranzpod & FB @friendsoffranzpodChristian Franz (Host): IG @chrsfranz & YT Christian FranzThankful to the season's brand partners: Clove, BETR Remedies, Eko, Lumify, RescueMD, Medical School for Kids, Your Skincare Expert, Twrl Milk Tea

Although Dr. Serena Nayee, deeply cares about animals, she almost chose a very different path. She has always walked a fine line between human and animal health for a long time. Although Dr. Serena has no regrets about her choices, one of the hardest career decisions she made was to choose between animal and human health. She believes both have a serious problem with equality and accessibility. At one point during her studies, she actually considered leaving veterinary medicine for a path towards human health. Dr. Serena found it difficult to justify the cost of veterinary studies when there was such a huge gap to fill in the world of human health. Fortunately for animals everywhere, Dr. Serena did decide to stick with her veterinary career. While there are problems with equity and fairness in human medicine, that problem is also in veterinary medicine. Her major goal is to help close that gap. Dr. Serena believes that one of the biggest problems facing the veterinary industry today is the inaccessibility of education and healthcare available. She believes that education and healthcare should be inclusive for everyone, and that it should not be difficult to access. That's why she created Chapter VII! Check her out on 21 Questions with Vet Candy and learn how she's on a mission to make veterinary care accessible to all   ▷ LET'S BECOME FRIENDS!! 

“It's not enough to wish upon stars. You must actively reach for them.” Those are the words that best describe someone like Dr. Sandra Faeh Butler. Brilliant, hardworking, and never one to turn away from a challenge, this University of Illinois graduate has been involved with organized veterinary medicine for more than 20 years. From making her first dollar as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital to being part owner of four animal clinics and later holding the position of 2020-22 AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) vice president, Sandra has always gone above and beyond. Now, she in on the heels of an exciting new venture… Running for president of the AVMA! Vet Candy could not be happier to tell you more about Dr. Sandra. Recently, we had the opportunity to talk to Faeh Butler about her mission in life, how she is using her role as a leader to make the world a better place, and what advice she has for young veterinary students.

Thank you to Trudell Animal Health for sponsoring this issue!   Happy New Year!  This time of year when we think about setting New Year's resolutions. We vow to lose weight, or work harder to get a raise at work. Many times, however, we are so busy chasing these smaller goals we fail to look at the big picture. What we should be setting are life goals.   Speaking of setting life goals, this issue's cover model, Amanda Steffen, is taking steps to complete one of her life's goals which is to focus on holistic medicine. She is taking advanced courses to specialize in acupuncture therapy and hopes to one day open her own practice.  If you are making life goals and want to share with us, tag @myvetcandy, we would love to hear about it!   In this issue, we have a special treat for you – free RACE approved veterinary and veterinary technician CE!  We have the latest clinical updates on respiratory disease and case studies from Dr. Mathieu Paulin, Dr. Anthony Gonzalez, Dr. Carey Hemmelgarn, and Melissa Evans, CVT.   If you would like to receive RACE approved CE credit for listening, Check out the information below: We love you for listening!     This program is brought to you by Trudell Animal Health, makers of AeroKat, AeroDawg, and AeroHippus inhalers for pets.

Loving what you do for work isn't a requirement to have a successful career. But it sure helps! Luckily for Dr. Craig Clifford, the hours fly by when he is at work. That's because for this veterinarian, medical oncology and improving the lives of pets is what he was made for.   “I truly love what I do,” he says. Dr. Clifford is a graduate of Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine and received an MS degree in Animal Science/Virology from the University of Delaware. Following an internship and a medical oncology residency at the University of Pennsylvania, he went on to later become a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (Oncology) in 2003. After that, it was off to Director of Clinical Studies and Red Bank Veterinary Hospital and Hope Veterinary Specialists, where he was their first medical oncologist and Director of Clinical Studies. His more recent accomplishments are equally impressive! From writing and co-authoring over 50 papers and book chapters to lecturing at major veterinary meetings in the USA and abroad, Dr. Craig truly embodies the saying, “Do what you love and love what you do.” Vet Candy is delighted to have had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Craig Clifford recently. He shared the best career advice he ever received and explained the three qualities that got him where he is today.    ▷ LET'S BECOME FRIENDS!! 

Dr. Corina Collins has many ways to destress. She loves listening to music, practicing yoga, watching HGTV, and jumping the very tricky Double Dutch after a hectic day. In fact, she is something of an expert at helping people feel better…and pets, too! After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Animal Science from Tuskegee University and later attending Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, this veterinarian wanted to learn more about holistic healing. So, Chi University was the next logical step. “My easiest career decision was becoming a veterinarian,” Dr. Corina explains. “The second easiest decision was becoming certified in veterinary acupuncture.” Vet Candy had the opportunity to speak with this positive role model. Introducing, the vet with the gentle touch, Dr. Corina Collins! 21 Questions with Dr. Jill podcast is brought to you by Brave Paws!

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.  International Women's Day is March 8th and the goal is to raise awareness against bias and take action for equality.  That's something that we need a lot of in our profession.  In 2017, for the first time in history, women finally became the majority in the veterinary field. Today, the AVMA says that 2/3 of all veterinarians are exclusively small animal practioners; of these, 63% are female. Women also make up 85% of all veterinary students, while veterinary technicians are about 90% female. Sadly, although women outnumber men in the veterinary field, they are still underrepresented in higher management roles. This month, we are celebrating Dr. Christine Royal, the AVP of Companion Animal and Equine Business at Merck Animal Health.  Dr. Christine is a woman who has taken the reins and proved her worth in a male dominated industry, shaping the world for the women that will come after her. In this issue, you can read more about her journey and how she wants to use her success to elevate others. We love you for listening! ▷ LET'S BECOME FRIENDS!!

We are all familiar with New Year resolutions. We vow to lose weight, or get a new raise at work. However, sometimes we are so busy chasing these smaller goals we fail to look at the big picture.

Not very long ago, fashion in the medical world was non-existent. Scrubs were boxy, ill-fitting, and mostly came in unflattering shades of bile green. Fortunately, with the passage of time, medical fashion has evolved. Now we have choices that include fashionable, trendy scrubs with flattering fits and a rainbow assortment of available colors.  We all deserve to look and feel good at work. Fashion is a way we can express our personalities. Without it, we would be indistinguishable from our coworkers – and, as you'll find out in this issue, fashion can also exhibit one's beliefs and values. In this issue, we introduce you to twin veterinarians, Dr. Alison Shen and Dr. Audrey Shen who have teamed up with fashion expert and entrepreneur Rebecca Lau Marsh to create 21Scrubs - a company that offers a range of stylish and fashion-savvy scrubs that are practical, flattering, comfortable, and durable. There's even a jumpsuit for the ladies that can be matched with a pair of heels and worn from day to night- we show you three ways to wear it inside! AND, you will never believe what else they are doing to make the world a better place! We also introduce you to other veterinary fashionistas, including Shermaine Wilson Cox, who has created a modern line of Afrocentric medical scrubs featuring pan-African prints of gold, red, and green, as well as Dr Laura Sullivan BVetMed MRCVS - All Scrubbed Up who is focused on sustainability by introducing a line of eco-friendly surgical caps.  This issue is brought to you by Merck Animal Health, makers of Nobivac vaccines for cats!!

In this issue, we are talking all about surgery and we are introducing you to New York surgeon, Dr. Philippa Pavia.  Dr. Philippa doesn't believe careers are static, and that turned out to be a good thing when she decided to change things up from an English Literature degree to Veterinary medicine. At first, she worried that she might not do well in school or be accepted due to the fact that she was coming from a non-traditional background. Fortunately, it worked out. Not only did she fall in love with veterinary medicine, she was confident in the path set before her—to become a veterinary surgeon after completing a residency at NYC's Animal Medical Center. She realized her dream in 2014, becoming a board-certified surgeon. In this issue, we also have some other great tips to increase your surgical confidence and to help you lead a healthier lifestyle, including a Ashtanga yoga!   

Has anyone ever told you that you weren't good enough?  I asked a former colleague this question many years ago and she told me that her guidance counselor in high school suggested that she should forget about college and go to vocational school instead.  Thank goodness she didn't take his advice.  Not only did she go to college and vet school, she completed a PhD in pathology and later became board certified in another specialty.  My colleague had gumption! One of the traits that I admire most is gumption.  Gumption is what makes you ignore those that say you can't do something when you know in your heart that you can.  Gumption makes us strive harder and push forward when we are faced with challenges.  In this issue we introduce you to another friend of mine who has a lot of gumption, Dr. Lillie Davis.  Growing up in poverty, she was often told that she wasn't good enough. Despite having limited resources, Dr. Lillie's courage and resolve helped her overcome her circumstances and rise to become the success she is today.  This podcast is brought to you by Merck Animal Health, makers of Vetsulin insulin for dogs and cats!!  Learn more at vetsulin.com     Sign up for our free weekly newsletter at https://www.myvetcandy.com​ Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/myvetcandy​ Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/myvetcandy​...

In this issue of Vet Candy Magazine, it is all about the eyes!  As veterinarians, we often faced with some really horrible eye cases, like that inevitable Shih Tzu with an eye prolapse or that bulldog with the nasty melting corneal ulcer. Years ago, the only option for severe cases was enucleation.  Now, with the increasing number of specialists, we have an option to refer these cases to specialists who can likely save the eyes.  Thank goodness! According to AVMA 2018 data, there are 453 board certified veterinary ophthalmologists.  Our favorite one is Ohio veterinarian, Dr. DJ Haeussler, who graces our cover this month.  Helping veterinarians save eyes is why Vet Candy partnered up with Dr. DJ and Sentrx Animal Care to create a master course in ophthalmology.  This free program is RACE and New York State approved for CE and focuses on reinforcing the essential fundamentals of eye care.  Whether you are a recent graduate or want to upgrade your skills, this free course if for you!  Check it out at myvetcandy.com/eye
