Send us a textHow long should it take to publish your veterinary research? What happens when a journal promises publication in just 40 days? And how have publication times changed across veterinary medicine in recent years?Dr. Mark Rishniw joins Veterinary Vertex to discuss his eye-opening research on publication speeds across veterinary journals. Drawing from his analysis of submission-to-publication timelines spanning six years, he reveals how most clinical veterinary publications have dramatically improved their efficiency—with JAVMA transforming from taking two years to publish articles to less than 100 days from submission to publication with robust peer review.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Mark identifies a cluster of journals with publishing speeds that "defy belief." These publications process thousands of articles annually in just 40 days or less, raising serious questions about peer review quality. "How do they find qualified reviewers who will do a critical review that quickly?" Mark asks, noting that specialized journals struggle to find reviewers for just 100 articles per year.Beyond the data, Mark offers practical advice for researchers navigating the publication landscape. He recommends writing introductions and methods while conducting research, consulting biostatisticians before collecting data, and—most importantly—choosing journals based on audience fit and reputation rather than speed alone. "Don't pick a journal just because it's really quick," he cautions, emphasizing that publication in questionable journals might compromise the credibility of one's work.Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just beginning your publishing journey, this episode provides crucial insights into the evolving world of veterinary publishing. How will you choose where to publish your next breakthrough?

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we explore whether intravenous (IV) fluid therapy is truly necessary after feline donation by reviewing the prospective study, "Intravenous fluid therapy compared to no treatment following blood donation in cats: a randomized controlled trial.' Many of us were taught (or have routinely seen) the protocol of administering IV fluids to cats post-donation to help replace the lost blood volume. However, this practice isn't common in human or canine blood donation protocols. So are IV fluids really needed after feline blood donation? Tune in to find out!

We see anaemia in cats pretty frequently, but it isn't always down to things like IMHA or haemorrhage.  There are infectious causes as well, and we need to be aware of them as veterinary nurses and technicians, so we can care for our patients well (and confidently!) and advise our clients accordingly. The main one we think about in cats is feline infectious anaemia, aka haemoplasmosis - and that's exactly what we'll be discussing today. This disease is more common than you might think, with up to 27% of cats testing positive - and many of these patients presenting with severe anaemia requiring prompt treatment and nursing care. So if you've ever felt a little unsure when managing an anaemic cat, wondered why your vet is treating anaemia with antibiotics, or felt like there must be more you can do to help these patients, we'll dive into it all in this episode. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we're tackling a hot topic: how long should dogs with bacterial pneumonia remain on antimicrobials? While traditional recommendations from the 2017 ISCAID (International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases) guidelines advise 4-6 weeks of antimicrobial treatment, we acknowledge that strong veterinary evidence has been lacking. Tune in to find out what this new study, “Clinical course and radiographic resolution of pneumonia in dogs treated with a shorter versus longer course of antimicrobials: a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study” suggests!

In this episode, Dr. Erica Lacher and show host Justin Long interview returning guest Dr. Erika Machtinger, an associate professor of entomology at Penn State.

In this episode, Brad shares insights from recent dairy science meetings and dives deep into total serum protein (TSP) levels in calves—a key indicator of successful colostrum management and passive transfer of immunity. He reviews data from multiple studies, including work by Dave Casper in Illinois and a Midwest study on beef-on-dairy cross calves. The results show improvements in TSP levels over time, but highlight that a significant number of calves—especially male and crossbred calves—still arrive at calf ranches with low TSP and signs of poor health.Brad also shares findings from University of Minnesota research, including a 20-year dataset from Waseca involving nearly 6,000 Holstein calves, showing correlations between TSP, growth rates, and calf survival. He questions the rigid cutoffs for TSP and emphasizes a more nuanced view based on outcomes like average daily gain and long-term milk production.The episode wraps with details on two upcoming calf care workshops in Minnesota this summer (July 29 in Rochester and August 5 in Eden Valley) where farmers, consultants, and educators can learn about colostrum management, TSP testing, pain mitigation, and more.Calf Care Workshop - Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Rochester, MN Calf Care Workshop - Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Eden Valley, MNQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

In this episode of the Family Pet Podcast, hosts Michael Shirley and Halie Cameron talk with board certified veterinary cardiologist Dr. Kiira Rodriguez. They discuss the circulatory system, the significance of heart murmurs and arrhythmias, and the genetic factors influencing heart disease in pets. Dr. Rodriguez explains diagnostic procedures like echocardiograms and the implications of congestive heart failure. The conversation emphasizes the importance of managing heart conditions in pets and reassures pet parents about the longevity and quality of life for pets with heart issues. Dr. Rodriguez web site: https://www.nashvillevetspecialists.com/specialties/cardiologyTakeawaysThe circulatory system in pets functions similarly to that in humans.Heart murmurs can be common and not always indicative of serious issues.Genetics play a significant role in the likelihood of heart disease in pets.Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for early detection of heart issues.Echocardiograms are essential for diagnosing heart murmurs accurately.Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot meet the body's demands.Fluid buildup in the body can result from heart failure, affecting various organs.Most heart conditions in pets can be managed with medication.Pet parents should be aware of their pet's breed predispositions to heart disease.Keywordspet cardiology, heart health, pet care, veterinary medicine, heart disease, pet parents, echocardiogram, heart murmur, congestive heart failure, pet healthcare

Brad flies solo in this episode—literally and figuratively—to tackle a problem buzzing on every farmer's mind around the 4th of July: flies. With heavy rains in the Upper Midwest fueling major fly outbreaks, Brad dives deep into why managing flies is essential for livestock health, productivity, and human comfort.He covers the four main types of flies affecting livestock—stable flies, house flies, horn flies, and face flies—including their behaviors, lifecycles, preferred habitats, and the economic losses they cause. From foot-stomping stable flies in confinement to pinkeye-spreading face flies on pasture, Brad emphasizes the importance of identifying the fly species to choose effective control methods.Management strategies discussed include manure and bedding management, fans, fly traps, fly predators, sprays, and even a horn fly vaccine being tested at the UMN research dairy.

When a patient is going through an allergic flare, we focus on making the pet comfortable which is absolutely reasonable! However, we have to think of the prevention of future flares and frustration for that case.

Each plan can be unique depending on the case presentation, client's goals, etc. Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast where I discuss shifting to this mindset with ease including a recent cat case I had to go through a treatment adjustment.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro02:21 A common scenario that I see at the clinic06:43 Laying the foundation down for the pet to succeed11:16 Cat case with really bad pyoderma13:12 Considering allergy testing15:01 Outro
