This week we're celebrating all pets and "Pet Week". The UW-School of Veterinary Medicine touts the phrase 'small but mighty' when it comes to their staff size and the research and innovations developed. Star Cameron is the clinical assistant professor in veterinary neurology and neuro surgery. She also recently became the assistant dean for clinical and translational research. Pam Jahnke listens in as she explains the various types of research they undertake to help all animals. Cameron says the entire team is driven by their passion for animals. More ups and downs in the weather this week. 70's today with gusty winds, but back to the mid-50's tomorrow with more rain in the forecast. Stu Muck gives us the rundown. The U.S. House has concluded its work on the 2026 Farm Bill and now it's up to the Senate. Arkansas Senator John Boozeman chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee and says things look different for his committee. Boozeman specifically cites the filibuster they're working with and how quickly votes can move. Boozeman says he's working to build consensus with the help of MN Senator Amy Klobuchar.Maria Woldt has been named the next director of the state funded initiative designed to help America's Dairyland maintain its industry. Woldt will oversee the Dairy Innovation Hub which works with UW-River Falls, UW-Platteville and UW-Madison to integrate staff, research and innovations.The small community of Ashippun in Dodge County is struggling to maintain its farm land. Stephanie Hoff finds out The town of Ashippun in Dodge County has successfully approved starting the process to transition to farmland preservation zoning.about measures it's deploying to try to slow down urban development on valuable farm acreage. Robert Guenter is a dairy farmer and also a member of the Town of Ashippun Planning Commission. The town of Ashippun in Dodge County has successfully approved starting the process to transition to farmland preservation zoning. The town is facing increasing growth pressures, including recent applications for a private golf course and a solar energy farm. Ashippun's growth is largely driven by its location directly north of the rapidly growing village of Oconomowoc. He says local studies have shown that every dollar collected in taxes on farmland costs the town about 75 cents in services, whereas every dollar collected from development land costs about $1.25 in municipal expenses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mackerel will soon be disappearing from the shelves of Waitrose as the supermarket says it's 'taking a stand against overfishing'. In September last year the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), recommended that North-east Atlantic Mackerel catches should be cut by 70% to help rebuild stocks to a sustainable level. But four countries which fish for Mackerel in the North East Atlantic cut their quota for 2026 by just 48% compared to the previous year. As a result, Waitrose has decided to suspend sourcing from the end of April. Fishing organisations in Scotland say they are disappointed and feel they have been unfairly penalised because - they say - the UK has led the way in trying to secure sustainable fishing for Mackerel.Anna Hill reports from a Cromer seafood processor who's experiencing a drop in the availability of Crabs following fishing disruption due to wind farm construction. It's been a worrying winter for poultry farmers, with cases of avian flu in England, Scotland and Wales. The Pirbright Institute's Head of Avian Virology updates us on what he describes as the 'third worst ever' epidemic of high pathogenicity bird flu in the UK, and reflects on what might lie ahead over the spring and summer. Cambridge University's vet school will not be closing after all. The University's governing body has rejected proposals to cease taking new entrants.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

Episode Notes I've never been privileged to feature a veterinarian into the "Healthcare Hero" spotlight . . .until now!! Join me in welcoming Dr. Jessie Lay, who admirably serves as an extension vet with the University of Kentucky. Dr. Lay spent 10 years in private practice before taking the extension route. Come along as she explains what fueled her passion for animals, reflects on the most rewarding/challenging facets of her journey through Vet School, and describes what ultimately inspired her transition into the realm of extension. She also sheds light on both Avian Influenza (AKA Bird Flu) and New World Screwworm, two animal diseases which have been hot topics in recent news. And of course, she extends must-hear words of wisdom to the veterinarians of tomorrow. Feel free to contact Dr. Lay with any questions you may have about this show's content . . .she may be reached via email at jess.lay@uky.edu.

 Caroline is a really talented comedian who is very busy with her comedy career, partner and Vet School! Listening to Caroline talk about her childhood and having been home-schooled, she helped me understand why home-schooling can be a really damaging experience. And maybe that's one big reason why, when she moved to NYC, she went alcohol-crazy (who wouldn't? + also simplifying) —if you want to know details, you have to listen. Anyway, here's someone who really turned their life around and getting very close to achieving more of her goals. Her comedy is going great, she's in a healthy 4-year relationship and soon, she will be certified as a  Vet Tech and making bank $$$.  @carolineblaircomic

The Idiots have talked about what it's like when you're an established vet, what it's like going through vet school, and what it's like in internships, residencies, and clinicals, but that murky inbetween has not been breached. That's where Dr. Maddy Golichowski (or as Kent says "Gahlowzzskckksheeee") comes in. Dr. Maddy is well into her second year as a practicing vet, which allows her the hindsight of a first year without the distance in time obscuring her view. We talk pros, cons, and difficulties with being green in the field. Listen up, this rookie is going to do great things, and The Idiots were happy to be along for the ride.

In a season of return guests, another makes a come back. Amber Johnson, Idiot Brain Witch extraordinaire, touches on mental health again, and steps you can do to help keep mental health in check. Be it self care, calming techniques, or just being kind to yourself in general, you matter, and vets have incredibly stressful jobs. Yours might be, too, if your career isn't in the veterinary medicine world. Maybe you're unemployed or a stay at home parent. Mental health, self care, and calming techniques aren't limited to stressful jobs. It's an episode that can speak to anyone. Give a listen and be kind to your mind. If you have more questions for Amber, reach out to either of the Idiots and they can put you in contact. If we get enough questions about mental health in general, we may compile them into another episode with Amber.    Suicide and Crisis Helpline: Call or Text 988   https://988lifeline.org/talk-to-someone-now/ University of Tennessee - Veterinary Social Work   Grief and Bereavement services available as well as pet loss support groups.

Have you ever wanted to be the workhorse of a veterinary hospital? Do all the work for the veterinarians but get none of the credit and a fraction of the pay? Do you want to get scratched and bit by patients routinely? If this sounds amazing to you, then listen to this episode of the path it takes to become a veterinary technician. Jokes aside, they are the lifeblood of any hospital, and a vital piece to the wellbeing of all pets. Our new favorite guest, the Vet Tech Idiot Beth, discusses the way to get there.  Apologies, this episode had some technical difficulties resulting in a second episode in a row with no video and some of Beth's audio was lost, but only in small random spots. The meat and potatoes of the episode is there. Anyway, we're going to blame Kent. Beth is a vet tech. Literature nerd. Music appreciator. Terrible dancer. Her credentials are Beth Laffoon, MS, RVT. She gave "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" a 3.5/5.  "One of the best parts about being a vet tech in academia is getting to serve as a mentor to current, former, and prospective students. Any listeners out there who are thinking about becoming veterinary technicians- feel free to reach out with questions! I'm happy to give insight on the vet tech life or provide info about our residential and online vet tech programs that are accessible from all over the world. (Looking at you, Iceland!)" -B Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BGguCq8mE/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethlynn5150?igsh=MXM4NTVrZ3BucjhqYQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

The Idiots recognize that it is tough to be a woman in the world, and it can be even more for one in the veterinary world, so they brought back two of their favorite women doctors, Dr. Erin and Dr. Laura, for a chat about what it's like to be the fairer sex. The gang discuss sexism, both obvious and subversive, harrassment, and discuss the surprising reality that while the vet world is majority female, some of the worst attitudes towards women comes from other women.  Dr. Erin's socials Tiktok and Insta @sheep.rock.vet YT and FB @sheeprockvet Dr Laura's socials and website www.fernandezveterinaryservices.com Tiktok and Insta @thedoctorsfernandez Apologies, we did not record this episode for video.

If a dog's nose is dry, is it sick? Do cats really steal baby's breath? Listen in for these and other myths your favorite Idiots discuss. The boys talk about why these myths exist, where they came from, and if there is any validity to them.  That's it. That's the show description. Also, if you really like this episode, reach out to the Idiots either at their individual socials or at vetmedforidiotsbyidiots@gmail.com and ask about some of your own myths that you have heard about pets over the years. 

Welcome back! Season 3 is finally here! We should all be excited! The boys welcome their first quasi-celebrity, Dr. Dean Scott, vet extraordinaire. It addition to being a vet (in both senses, spending 5 years in the US Army Veterinary Corps), he is a multi-genre published author. He is currently working on the third of the "Dragon Vet" Series, with the second, "The Dragon Vet's Apprentice" released in October of 2023. He does not stop at fantasy, though. He has covered just about every genre and style there is. Come sit in on this wonderful afternoon with the equally wonderful Dean. There is another Dean Scott who is an author, but ours is a veterinarian, too. And awesome. And on this show. Was the other Dean Scott on here? Nope. Dr. Dean Scott is way better.  Amazon.com: Dean Scott: books, biography, latest update Instagram: @deantoonfull Dean Scott Books | List of books by author Dean Scott  

As Season 3 is just a few days away, the Idiots present to you, completely uncut, unedited, unanythinged, many the minis (see what I did there?). This is an absolute rambling, barely coherent, but a peek behind the scenes of how the minis were thrown together. There are moments of random BSing, periods of no talking for pee breaks (both for dogs and Idiots), and other stuff this Idiot does not remember talking about. Enjoy! 

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tyler Troop of Performance Equine Associates for a down-to-earth conversation about life as a performance horse veterinarian. Dr. Troop shares his journey—from tackling the challenges of vet school to working with some of the top equine athletes in the industry. We dive into the realities of equine sports medicine, the latest advancements in keeping horses performing at their peak, and the dedication it takes to care for these incredible athletes. Dr. Troop's passion for his work is clear, and his practical, no-nonsense approach makes this a must-listen for anyone in the horse world. Whether you're in the industry or just love a good horse story, this episode is packed with insight, and real-world experience.

Surprise episode drop!!! Special Preseason to Season 3 Ep! The Idiots are back with your favorite large animal Idiot Vet, Dr. Erin Masur, and they're talking bird flu. There is so much misinformation, fear, and general confusion right now, and Dr. Erin is setting things straight. Cold hard facts and reality of what is going on, how it will impact prices of eggs, milk, and anything that contains either, and why burying this information is, at best irresponsible, and at worst, critically dangerous. This is an episode you will not want to miss. "I just saw possibly the stupidest piece of misinformation about h5n1 I've ever seen. Someone was like “no flock should be destroyed before they get a chance to build natural immunity to this virus”. It's a 97.5% mortality rate and there is no such thing as immunity or even cross immunity due to viral reassortment. They get it, 24 hours later they're dead.
