This week on Veterinary Ramblings, Mike Brampton and Julian Hoad are joined by Dan O'Neill & Marisa Heath to unpack the controversy surrounding the so-called “67 breeds ban” and the wider conversation around animal welfare legislation.The episode dives into how sensational headlines and “rage bait” media distorted the guests' work, falsely claiming they wanted to ban dozens of dog breeds. In reality, the discussion focuses on preserving beloved breeds by encouraging healthier physical traits and moving away from extreme conformations that can compromise welfare.Dan and Marissa also introduce the Innate Health Assessment (IHA), a free, voluntary tool designed to help breeders and the public identify healthier breed characteristics. From brachycephalic breathing issues to public perceptions of “healthy-looking” dogs, the conversation explores how education and informed choices can drive meaningful change.The episode also tackles the importance of addressing root causes rather than just treating symptoms, alongside thoughtful discussions on legislation, social change, and what truly defines a good quality of life for our pets. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Three people in California got caught staging fake bear attacks on their own luxury cars to claim $142,000 in insurance money. They kept the bear suits. In the house. Detectives found them immediately. We open the phones for Sydney's own scammers and it escalated quickly: one listener negotiated a better insurance deal and kept the $350 signup bonus anyway, another has been working as an unqualified vet nurse for seven years doing surgeries with drugs of addiction and nobody knows, and a third has been stealing the coffee loyalty stamp from local cafes for a decade and stamping up the whole family. We have so many questions about the vet nurse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we're chatting about something every single one of us deals with, whether you're working in general practice, referral, or out-of-hours - and that's chronic kidney disease. CKD is one of the most commonly-diagnosed conditions in our senior patients - in both cats and dogs. Despite how often we see this disease, our role as nurses in caring for these patients is often quite limited, and there's still a big disconnect between how we treat these patients in practice and what the evidence suggests about their management. Today I'm bringing you an evidence-based overview of CKD, focusing on the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) guidelines on its management. We'll explore why CKD is so hard to diagnose early - and why it's so important that we do - alongside how we can use things like staging to plan both effective treatment AND nursing care for our patients. So you can spend less time feeling like you're just watching CKD patients sit on fluids, and more time using your skills and truly advocating for your patients. Resources mentioned this episode:

In episode 107 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking about probably the most common and frustrating nursing issue we encounter… but the most rewarding to fix - inappetent cats. You know the ones - the ones who just won't eat despite you having tried almost every flavour, texture and variety of food, in every type of bowl, warmed, not warmed, where you've pretended to eat it first, and practically begged them. And being cats, they've just given you the 'look' and turned away. I've been there, we've all been there, and we've all been frustrated by it. So what can we do about it? The evidence is clear that inappetence is something needing prompt and careful management, and we've now got clinical guidelines to help us with this. So sit back, grab a cuppa and together we'll break down the 2022 ISFM Consensus Guidelines on Management of the Hospitalised Inappetent Cat, helping you get more of these patients eating, and use more of your skills while you're at it.

But when the time came to settle and raise her family, she made the deliberate decision to return to Taranaki — the place she calls home.In this chat, Nicky shares with Julie what support inside a veterinary clinic actually looks like when things get busy. Emergencies walk through the door, schedules change instantly, and the whole team moves together to make sure patients receive the care they need.She talks about how the nursing team mentors younger nurses, how new ideas are welcomed, and why humour, trust, and looking out for each other are essential in a profession that can be stressful and emotionally demanding.The conversation also explores life outside the clinic — why Nicky chose to raise and educate her children in Taranaki, the strength of smaller communities, and how the region's people rally around causes that matter.Nicky is also the founder of the Cape Egmont Half Marathon, a community event she started after losing her father to cancer.If you're curious about what working inside a supportive veterinary team looks like day to day — or how community shapes life in regional practice — this episode offers a candid perspective from someone leading the nursing team on the ground.In This Episode00:05 – Introduction to the REAL+STORY series with Energy Vets 01:24 – Nicky's background and why she returned to Taranaki 03:31 – What “supportive team culture” looks like in real clinic life 04:35 – How the nursing team develops and mentors younger nurses 05:45 – Returning to Taranaki after living in bigger cities 06:44 – Why Nicky chose to raise and educate her children in Taranaki 09:55 – Community life and founding the Cape Egmont Half Marathon 13:07 – Favourite piece of veterinary equipment: the Bear Hugger13:51 – Three words Nicky uses to describe the team 14:00 – Energy Vets' “best kept secret” as a workplace 14:44 – Working across two clinic locations16:05 – How after-hours works in practice 17:14 – A memorable patient case: nursing a farm dog back to health 19:16 – How new ideas are introduced and adopted inside the clinic 20:47 – Patient handovers and communication inside the team 22:04 – The type of person who fits best at Energy Vets 24:20 – What it really means when the team “looks out for each other”Hiring LinkIf you're an experienced small animal veterinarian exploring your next step, you can learn more about current opportunities at Energy Vets Taranaki here:vetclinicjobs.com/energyvetsLinks MentionedCape Egmont Half Marathon About Julie SouthJulie South is the founder of VetClinicJobs and host of Veterinary Voices.Through VetClinicJobs, she helps forward-thinking veterinary clinics show what working there iStruggling to get results from your job advertisements?

This week on Veterinary Ramblings, hosts Mike Brampton and Julian Hoad kick off the episode with Mike's recent trip to Japan, sharing observations from a culture built on respect, ritual, and remarkable attention to detail. Mike reflects on everything from impeccably organised airport baggage reclaim to the country's legendary punctuality and the deeply ingrained bathing traditions of the onsen. The pair also discuss Japanese cuisine, including sea urchin, seaweed, and raw egg dishes, along with Mike's experience exploring Tokyo's famous “kitchen street” and the craftsmanship (and cost!) behind traditional Japanese knives.The conversation moves into Mike's photography adventures, including visits to the famous snow monkeys and the iconic Japanese cranes. He explains how wildlife viewing areas are carefully managed to protect the animals while still allowing visitors to observe them in their natural environments.Back in veterinary territory, the hosts reflect on zoo welfare and the debate around stereotypical behaviours in captive animals, before Mike recounts a memorable (and slightly terrifying) story from early in his career involving anaesthetising a tiger. The episode wraps up with a candid rant about public services, touching on the challenges facing the NHS and the frustrations of unreliable infrastructure.Packed with travel stories, wildlife encounters, veterinary insights, and the usual off-the-cuff humour, this episode is classic Veterinary Ramblings. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Seizures are probably the most common neurological issue we see in practice, and they can be one of the most daunting conditions to nurse (and be incredibly stressful to witness).  Thankfully, though, there's lots we can do to support these patients as veterinary nurses and technicians. To do this, we need to understand a bit more about what seizures are, why they happen, the impact they have on our patients, and how they're managed - as well as the nursing care these patients need, and the skills we can use in the process. That's exactly what we're covering in episode 104 of the Medical Nursing Podcast. Join me, Laura Jones (RVN, VTS Internal Medicine) and resident neuro expert Zoe Hatfield (RVN, VTS Neurology) as we discuss exactly what you need to know to care for these patients confidently as a veterinary nurse. Settle in, make yourself comfy, and get ready to do more with your seizure patients. --- About Zoe: Zoe qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2012. After spending her first year as a RVN working in first opinion practice, she moved to referral joining the University of Glasgow Small Animal Hospital nursing team in 2013.  Since joining the nursing team, Zoe has developed her passion for neurology and in 2019 gained the VTS certificate in Neurology.  Working within the vet school she enjoys using her extensive experience in neurology to teach and educate students and newer members of staff.  She also presents CPD on a wide variety of neurological topics, including at BSAVA Alba, ExcelCPD, VetTrust, AIMVT and BVA Live.

She compares different clinic environments and explains what stands out at Energy Vets: how nurses are trusted to use their skills, how new graduates are supported in surgery, and how the team steps in when things get busy.This isn't about job titles or polished culture statements. It's about what day-to-day teamwork actually feels like — no behind-the-scenes friction, people sharing knowledge freely, and a team that works across two rural clinics without things falling apart.Alana also reflects on raising a family in Taranaki, commuting without traffic lights, and why rural schooling and coastal living have been part of the decision to stay.Across this conversation, you hear what steady support sounds like from a nurse's perspective — not from leadership, but from someone working on the floor every day.In This Episode00:00 – Introduction to the REAL+STORY series with Energy Vets02:20 – Why Alana chose to return03:04 – What feels different about this clinic07:31 – Nurses using their full clinical skillset09:52 – Supporting a new graduate in surgery11:27 – How the clinic has grown over time12:36 – Living and raising a family in TaranakiHiring LinkIf you're an experienced small animal vet exploring your next step, you can find out more about current opportunities at Energy Vets Taranaki  About Julie SouthJulie South is the founder of VetClinicJobs and host of Veterinary Voices.She works with veterinary clinics that want to show what working there is really like — not just list job requirements.

Fluid therapy is one of those things we do every single day in practice.  We hang the bag, we set the rate, we check the pump, we monitor the patient. It feels routine - maybe even safe. But the reality is this: fluids are a drug, with complications and contraindications just like any other. They are not 'just supportive care.' They are pharmacologically active solutions that can either help our patients recover, or contribute to complications if we don't use them in the right way. So in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, I'm breaking down the most recent AAHA fluid therapy guidelines - giving you all the need-to-know information so you can give great care to patients receiving IV fluids, and hopefully busting a few fluid therapy myths while we're at it. --- BRAND NEW ways to learn with me:
