It is really difficult to know what topical treatment options to consider when dealing with a ruptured tympanum. When a difficult multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas otitis occurs, it is very common to have the tympanum ruptured. So, what do you do? Being cautious and upfront with owners about labeling is important. However, bad infections are also ototoxic and it is important we treat them appropriately.On this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast, I discuss things to consider when dealing with a ruptured TM, what to do if you do experience a case with ototoxicity, and considering the risks/benefits of selecting treatment for difficult otitis cases.00:00 Intro00:25 Treating ear infection02:23 Ear Exams04:36 Most commonly reported to be ototoxic09:15 Dogs with ear infections going on for a long time10:28 Risk vs Benefit11:20 Summary/Outro

What if one of your employees goes viral on TikTok... for all the wrong reasons? This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, dive into a modern dilemma facing every veterinary clinic: what happens when an employee's personal behavior triggers public outrage, and suddenly your phones are blowing up with angry calls? Inspired by a real-world Fourth of July viral incident (yes, involving antipasto salad), Ward and Mossor explore how personal conduct outside of work is increasingly spilling into the professional arena. They discuss the legal, ethical, and emotional chaos that can follow, and how practice managers and clinic owners can proactively prepare for it. This conversation goes far beyond animal-related controversies. From racist remarks and political opinions to OnlyFans accounts and internet mob justice, today's episode tackles the complex intersection of social media, privacy, team culture, and mental health. You'll hear practical advice for building internal response plans, supporting affected staff, protecting your clinic's reputation, and knowing when it's time to call an attorney. Because in 2025, being unprepared isn't just naïve, it could be dangerous.

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. Brad also shares fascinating research on how coat color in cattle affects fly load, with black-coated animals attracting more flies than lighter-colored ones.Whether you're dealing with flies in barns or on pasture, this episode breaks down how to reduce their impact on your operation—and why there's no one-size-fits-all solution.Questions, 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

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. It is important for us to adjust our mindset once relief has been established and think of the long-term plan for that pet. 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

Many MedTech companies focus heavily on FDA clearance but overlook a critical layer of U.S. market entry: state-level compliance. In this episode, Etienne Nichols speaks with Adam Steadman, CEO of MDD Options, to unpack the real-world challenges that derail commercialization after regulatory approval. From navigating state-specific registration, sales tax laws, and distribution logistics to choosing between direct and distributor-based strategies, Adam shares hard-earned insights for avoiding the "second valley of death" post-clearance. Whether you're a domestic startup or an international company entering the U.S., this episode arms you with a tactical understanding of compliance landmines and scalable go-to-market strategies.Key Timestamps00:02 – Intro: The real MedTech “valley of death” after FDA clearance04:45 – Why U.S. state-level registration is misunderstood and overlooked08:15 – State-level definitions of medical devices and why they differ11:20 – Strategic go-to-market options: Distribution vs. Direct17:00 – How regulations vary drastically by state (CA, TX, etc.)21:50 – The real risks of noncompliance: lawsuits, bad PR, and due diligence failures26:15 – Why distribution agreements can stall your growth (and how to avoid it)34:30 – Sales tax & use tax: The hidden compliance trap39:10 – Logistics, warehousing, and long-term liabilities in contracts44:55 – Overlooked pitfalls: Secretary of State filings and income tax in 36+ states51:15 – Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): U.S. compliance still applies55:30 – Selling to the U.S. government vs. private sector buyers59:20 – Veterinary devices and why they still need regulatory controls1:03:10 – What a winning go-to-market strategy actually looks like1:10:25 – Adam's final advice to MedTech startups (foreign and domestic)Standout Quotes"You're not entering one country—you're entering 50 states and D.C. Each with its own rules, definitions, and tax laws."—Adam Steadman explains why U.S. MedTech entry requires a state-by-state strategy, especially for international companies."None of the strategics want your warehouse management system—they want your product, your sales, and your proof of market fit."—Steadman on why building non-core infrastructure slows down commercialization and valuation.Top 5 TakeawaysFDA Clearance ≠ Market Readiness – State-level registrations, sales tax laws, and pharmacy board definitions often delay or block commercialization.Distribution Isn't Always a Shortcut – National distributors may have misaligned incentives and can lock you into exclusivity that hinders growth.Sales Tax is a Regulatory Minefield – 46 states require separate sales tax registration, exemptions tracking, and monthly filings—even if you're tax-exempt.Beware of Long-Term Contracts – Logistics and distribution contracts often lock companies into rigid terms that prevent pivots or acquisitions.Speed to Market Is Strategic – Getting to market fast is often the difference between becoming #1 or #3—and #3 often gets nothing.MedTech 101What Is “Nexus” and Why It Matters for Sales Tax?“Nexus” refers to the minimum level of economic activity that triggers tax obligations in a given state. For example, selling $100,000 of devices or 200 transactions may establish nexus, requiring you to register for sales tax. Unlike VAT in Europe, U.S. sales tax laws are state-specific, making this a major compliance hurdle for MedTech companies.References & Resources

This week on In The Vet’s Office, Dr. Josie Horchak is joined by board-certified veterinary surgeon Dr. Marta Agrodnia for an unforgettable deep dive into some of the most intense cases in her surgical career. From removing a 12-pound tumor from a Labrador’s chest that was crushing his esophagus, to diagnosing a football-sized adrenal tumor in a 170-pound bloated Great Dane—Dr. Agrodnia shares how both dogs went on to beat cancer. They discuss the most common surgeries she performs, including Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), the canine equivalent of ACL surgery. You’ll also hear about cutting-edge treatments for arthritis like Synovetin joint injections, and complex soft tissue surgeries involving mast cell tumors and soft tissue sarcomas. Dr. Agrodnia also shares a rare and fascinating case involving a monkey with a cancerous arm mass, and the surprising similarities between monkey and human blood supply that made the procedure especially challenging. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Horchak and Dr. Agrodnia explore the emotional realities of veterinary care—including how they respond to the question they hear so often: “What would you do if this was your pet?” This episode is packed with insight, heart, and extraordinary stories that will forever change the way you see the vet’s office.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this solo episode, Brad dives into the challenges of managing mastitis, especially during wet spring and summer conditions. He shares findings from ongoing University of Minnesota research on non-antibiotic treatments for mastitis, highlighting two promising alternatives: Ozolea-Mast, a corn oil-based intramammary product, and Optimum UterFlush, a botanical-based treatment studied in Colorado.Brad discusses how these non-antibiotic tools have performed both in lactating cows with subclinical mastitis and as dry cow therapy. Notable results include a consistent ~30% reduction in somatic cell count in chronic cows and the potential economic benefits of avoiding milk and meat withdrawal. While the Colorado study didn't show significant differences in udder health outcomes, Brad stresses the importance of continuing to evaluate these products as pressure increases to reduce antibiotic use on dairies.Whether you're a producer looking to cut costs or a researcher interested in alternatives to antibiotics, this episode offers valuable insights into mastitis treatment innovation.Ozolea-MastQuestions, 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

What is life really like behind the scenes at your vet's office? Collin sits down with Gigi Tsontos, Executive Director of Not One More Vet, Inc. (NOMV), to discuss the hidden mental health crisis facing veterinary professionals. Gigi shares the mission of NOMV, the complex stressors vets face, and the resources NOMV provides—from peer support to emergency grants. They also explore how pet sitters and pet parents can shift the culture through empathy, gratitude, and everyday check-ins. It's a call to action to recognize, respect, and support the emotional toll behind every diagnosis. Main topics: Veterinary mental health crisis Suicide prevention in vet medicine NOMV programs and peer support Communicating with empathy and care Role of pet sitters in advocacy Main takeaway: “When we as a community value mental health, it creates a wave—it hits everyone, and it keeps going.” Mental health isn't just an individual issue—it's a community responsibility. In the veterinary and pet care industries, small acts of compassion and understanding can ripple outward, changing lives and reshaping culture. Whether it's checking in on a colleague, expressing gratitude to your vet, or simply listening without judgment, your empathy makes a difference. Let's be the start of that wave—because when we value each other's wellbeing, we all rise together.. About our guest: Gigi Tsontos, LCSW, MPA, aka, Angelique, joined NOMV in January 2024. After studying Social Welfare Policy at the University of Kansas, Gigi spent two years in Mali West Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer, returning to complete a Master of Science in Social Work at Columbia University and a second Masters in Public Administration from San Diego State University. Her career led her to work in social services, homeless services, mental health, victims' rights, and nutrition supporting administrative roles and becoming a clinical social worker licensed in California and Kansas. Gigi lives in Kansas with her husband and 4 furry children. She sees the world as her home and has traveled extensively.

“Vaccinating community cats creates a barrier to disease between wildlife, domestic animals, and people.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In this special webinar replay edition of the Community Cats Podcast, Brianna Lovell Myers of United Spay Alliance is joined by Dr. Bob Weedon, a leading expert in high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter and public health. Together, they delve into the synergistic relationship between trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) and public health initiatives. Dr. Weedon shares compelling data illustrating how TNVR not only reduces shelter intake and euthanasia rates but also fortifies community immunity against rabies. He challenges anti-TNVR narratives using scientific evidence, such as the minimal risk of rabies transmission from cats and the misunderstood lifecycle of toxoplasmosis. A major highlight includes a recent pilot study proving the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in kittens under 12 weeks — a potential game-changer for field operations. This conversation is more than an academic discussion; it's a rallying cry for more integrated, humane, and scientifically-backed approaches to community cat care. Whether you're a vet, policymaker, or colony caretaker, you'll walk away with actionable insights and renewed motivation to champion TNVR.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we discuss the potential development of an autoimmune response against platelets following live virus infection from canine influenza, and separately following vaccination with distemper (DA2PP) vaccine. Have you ever wondered before in your immune-mediated thrombocytopenic patients whether or not recent vaccination could have been the inciting factor for this autoimmune condition? Well, Williams et al. sought to get us the veterinary evidence that can tell us if viral infection or vaccination can cause this autoimmune dysregulation in our canine patients as described in their article entitled “Effects of Canine Influenza Infection and DA2PP Vaccination on the Development of Platelet-Associated Immunoglobulins and Platelet Counts in Dogs.”
