In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we're talking about the new veterinary sepsis definitions. Having clear definitions is crucial in making sure we're talking about the same type and severity of disease. Until now, our veterinary sepsis definitions have been largely adapted from human medicine. But let's be honest, our patients who have a talent for hiding illness don't always follow the same rules as humans. Having veterinary-specific definitions gives researchers a more consistent way to compare patients and studies, while giving clinicians a stronger foundation for recognizing sepsis, assessing illness severity, and shaping both today and tomorrow’s treatment recommendations.

Lameness can quietly reduce milk production, cow welfare, and dairy farm profitability. In this episode of The Moos Room, we examine how a difficult, wet spring prompted our dairy to make routine hoof trimming a priority for both its grazing and confinement herds.Since 2019, every cow—including lactating and dry cows—has been trimmed twice a year, with hoof problems carefully recorded. The results have been substantial: the percentage of cows with hoof issues declined from 15.6% during the first whole-herd trimming to just 2–3% during the past two spring trimmings. Thin soles and toe ulcers have nearly disappeared, white line disease has declined, and antibiotic use for lameness has fallen.Learn why grazing cows still benefit from routine trimming, how common hoof lesions affect cattle, and why partnering with a hoof trimmer to establish a consistent maintenance schedule can improve cow longevity, employee satisfaction, and farm profitability.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

A headline can do more than earn a click. It can change how veterinary professionals see one another. This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, examine how clickbait and rage-bait framing can deepen mistrust across veterinary teams. Using a provocative article about employee theft as a starting point, they explore what happens when practical business guidance is presented in terms of employers versus employees, managers versus staff, or one part of the hospital versus another. Ernie and Beckie aren't arguing against audits, safeguards, accountability, or sound financial controls. They're asking whether those measures can be discussed without treating every team member as a potential threat. The conversation expands to other familiar divides, including front versus back, veterinarians versus technicians, and corporate versus independent practice. They also challenge veterinary publications, professional organizations, and social media creators to consider how headlines shape beliefs, workplace culture, and public perceptions of the profession. The takeaway: protect the practice, address real problems, and choose language that builds collaboration instead of suspicion. #VetMed #VetTech #VeterinaryTeam #VeterinaryLeadership #WorkplaceCulture

In this episode of The Vet Blast Podcast, Adam Christman welcomes a first-time guest type to the show: a human dentist. Martin R. Mendelson, FIADFE, CPC, shares the career-ending misdiagnosis that took him out of clinical dentistry for 17 months, how that experience led him into executive coaching and leadership work, and why the challenges dental teams face, from customer service to private equity pressure to imposter syndrome, mirror what veterinary teams deal with every day.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we focus on an often forgotten, but still vital, electrolyte in the management of congestive heart failure (CHF): chloride.  Sodium and potassium tend to steal the electrolyte spotlight, while chloride is over there quietly waiting for someone to notice. But perhaps that is about to change…To help us better appreciate the importance of chloride's role in our felines with congestive heart failure, we will be reviewing a 2025 article by Lavigne et al. entitled, “Hypochloremia is negatively associated with outcomes in cats with stable congestive heart failure.”

After a busy week showing dairy cattle at the county fair, Brad explores research on the dairy cow's 12-month biological clock. Using data from 332 Western U.S. dairy herds, the study examined how region, breed, housing, organic management, and BST use influence seasonal patterns in milk production, components, dry matter intake, and feed efficiency. Despite differences among herds, annual rhythms remained remarkably consistent: milk components peaked in winter, dry matter intake peaked in February, and milk production generally peaked in spring. The findings suggest producers and nutritionists should compare herd performance across seasons—not just from one month to the next—and work with cows' natural biological rhythms when evaluating production changes and planning diets. 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

Veterinary medicine is changing.And if running your practice feels harder than it used to… it's not just you.In this episode, I explore what I believe is driving that feeling.Veterinary medicine is at a turning point, and the pressures facing practice owners today aren't isolated problems. They're symptoms of deeper changes happening across our profession.I unpack the two fractures I see emerging: the growing gap between practices and clients, and the widening disconnect between leaders and their teams. These fractures affect trust, culture and the way practices operate every day.I also introduce a concept I call leadership containment: building the clarity, ownership and accountability that stops every decision, every problem and every crisis from landing back on your desk.Because remarkable practices aren't built on leaders who carry everything themselves.They're built on systems that help great people take ownership, build trust and thrive.If you've been wondering why leadership feels heavier than it used to, this episode will help you understand what's changing - and how your practice can become stronger because of it.Episode Outline:[00:00] A profession at a turning point[01:20] Why everything feels heavier[02:54] The first fracture: trust[11:34] The second fracture: leadership[14:33] Why everything comes back to you[15:32] Leadership containment[17:47] Build systems that carry the weight[19:49] Strong practices start hereNeed Help Building a Practice That Doesn't Depend on You?If every problem still finds its way back to your desk, the answer probably isn't to work harder.It's to build a practice with the systems, clarity and leadership that allow great people to take ownership.Book a free call with me and we'll identify what's creating the biggest strain in your practice, where to focus first, and how to build a practice that's easier - and far more enjoyable - to lead.Book your free call: https://www.drdavenicol.com/book-your-callFollow Dr. Dave Nicol for More Leadership Insights:Follow Dr. Dave: @drdavenicolLearn more about the Veterinary Leadership AcademyEnjoyed this episode?Leave a review on iTunes and share it with your veterinary colleagues!

This episode previews new U.S. dairy genetic evaluations scheduled for release by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding on August 11, 2026.Two new calf-health traits will measure genetic resistance to diarrhea and respiratory disease in Holsteins and Jerseys. Positive predicted transmitting abilities indicate greater resistance. Although these traits have relatively low heritability, they may help producers gradually improve calf health, reduce treatment costs, and avoid the long-term productivity losses associated with early-life illness. Continued, accurate recording of calf health events will be essential for strengthening these evaluations.The episode also explains revisions to several fertility traits, including daughter pregnancy rate, cow conception rate, heifer conception rate, and early first calving. The updated models better account for modern reproductive management, including longer and variable voluntary waiting periods, synchronization programs, sexed and beef semen, and automated monitoring systems.A new trait, first service to conception, measures the number of days between a cow's first breeding and conception. Unlike daughter pregnancy rate, it is independent of a herd's voluntary waiting period and may be particularly useful on farms that establish breeding eligibility for individual cows.The host remains skeptical about how dramatically the revised models change historical fertility trends—especially daughter pregnancy rate, which now appears to have improved rather than declined over the past 25 years. Producers are encouraged to examine how the August evaluations affect bulls they currently use, while considering calf-health and fertility traits as additional selection tools rather than replacements for sound management.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

Veterinary employers have long complained about applicants disappearing during the hiring process. Now, candidates who are ghosted after an interview have websites where they can publicly report the employer. This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, explore what these anonymous reporting sites reveal about hiring culture in the U.S., and perhaps in veterinary medicine. Beckie explains why silence after an interview can create more than frustration. Candidates may put other opportunities on hold because they believe a decision is still pending. Ernie argues that while practices may not owe every applicant a personal response, anyone who has invested time in an interview deserves a clear and timely answer. They discuss the risks of unverified online reports, when a simple email is enough, and why post-interview communication should be part of every practice's hiring process. They also offer practical advice for candidates handling rejection without damaging future opportunities. In a small profession, failing to respond doesn't just end one conversation. It can affect a practice's reputation and cost it a strong future hire. #VeterinaryMedicine #VetMed #VeterinaryHiring #VeterinaryCareers #PracticeManagement

Can Stem Cells Help Cats with Arthritis, Kidney Disease & Stomatitis? with Dr. Rebecca WindsorStem cell therapy is one of the most exciting developments in veterinary medicine, but what diseases could it actually treat? In Part 2 of this special Purr Podcast episode, recorded at the AVMA Convention 2026 and sponsored by an educational grant from Gallant, Dr. Susan Little and Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn continue their discussion with veterinary neurologist Dr. Rebecca Windsor, Vice President of Veterinary Affairs at Gallant, to explore where regenerative medicine is headed and why stem cell therapy may change the future of feline healthcare. How could stem cell therapy transform chronic disease treatment in cats?Is stem cell therapy ready for veterinary practice? After explaining the basics in Part 1, this episode takes a deeper dive into the science behind stem cell therapy, including how donor stem cells are carefully screened and manufactured, why they don't trigger immune rejection, and how they help regulate inflammation throughout the body. We explore several of the most common chronic diseases affecting cats, including osteoarthritis, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS), and discusses the promising research that could lead to entirely new treatment options. How do stem cells interact with the immune system? Dr. Rebecca Windsor, DVM, DACVIM, is a board-certified veterinary neurologist with over 20 years of clinical experience.

How do you know when a dog will truly benefit from a brace? Can a CCL brace for dogs replace surgery? What role does a dog hock brace play after an Achilles tendon injury? In Part 2 of our conversation with canine physical therapist Caroline (Carrie) Adrian, BS, MSPT, PhD, tCPT, we turn our attention to hind limb injuries and conditions and the growing role of canine orthotics in veterinary rehabilitation for the pelvic limb.We begin with a brief review of orthoses for the front limb, trunk stabilization and pelvic/hip support devices before diving into some of the most common indications for hind limb orthoses. Carrie shares how custom orthotic devices can protect healing tissues, improve function, reduce pain, and support mobility in dogs recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or requiring long-term assistance.Just as importantly, we discuss why quality matters. Not all braces are created equal, and poorly designed, poorly fitted, or copycat products may fail to provide appropriate support—or even interfere with healing. Orthoses should always be selected based on a sound diagnosis, patient-specific goals, and careful follow-up.In This Episode:Review of trunk support and hip stabilization optionsWhen is a brace the right choice—and when is it not?What can orthoses realistically accomplish?Conservative management with orthoses versus surgeryThe importance of custom design, fit, and follow-up carePotential complications from poorly fitted devicesWhy rehabilitation exercises remain essential alongside bracingThe risks of knockoffs, copycat devices, and inadequate supportSkin management and monitoring during orthosis usePelvic Limb Topics CoveredTrunk, Pelvis & Hip (or coxofemoral joint)Review of trunk stabilization devicesSupport for hip dysplasia, weakness, and neurologic conditionsThe role of pelvic support in dogs with mobility deficitsHow garments facilitate posture and why posture matters for functionStifle (Knee)Cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCL/ACL injuries)Three basic choices of careFunctional bracing following injury or surgeryWhy bracing won't help medial patellar luxation (MPL) Meniscal considerationsMatching the orthosis to the individual patientSetting realistic expectations for outcomesTarsus (Hock or ankle)Achilles tendon injuriesGraduated Flexion Orthoses (GFO) the balance between allowing appropriate tissue stress to augment healing while protecting healing tissue from reinjuryOrthosis ManagementSkin care and pressure point monitoringImportance of proper fit and ongoing adjustmentsGradual acclimation to brace use - the scheduleRegular reassessment as healing progressesKey TakeawaysBraces are medical devices—not one-size-fits-all solutions.Proper diagnosis and custom fitting are critical for successful outcomes.High-quality canine orthotics can improve mobility, comfort, and healing.Poorly designed or improperly fitted braces may delay recovery or cause additional problems.Rehabilitation remains an essential part of every bracing program.Find Dr. Adrian at CanineIQ.net.Her email is Info@CanineIQ.netCompanies and products mentioned during this episode:DogLeggsHero BracesThera-PawWiggleLess®HipLignWhether you're a veterinary rehabilitation professional, veterinarian, technician, student, or devoted pet owner, this episode offers practical guidance on how orthotic devices can help improve mobility, function, and quality of life for canine patients.Thanks for listening to PetAbility Podcast!

After sharing how recent heat stress caused an average milk loss of four pounds per cow in his herd, Brad turns his attention to lameness and footbath management. He examines a study of approximately 250 Canadian dairy farms to explore how footbaths are being used, where management gaps exist, and what the future of hoof-health programs may look like.Most farms sent lactating cows through a footbath one or two times per week, commonly after milking. Copper sulfate was the most widely used product, but Brad discusses its potential to accumulate in soil and affect crop production. He also addresses the health risks associated with formaldehyde and copper sulfate, noting that fewer than half of the surveyed farms reported using personal protective equipment while preparing footbath solutions.Solution management is another important concern. As manure and other organic matter accumulate, footbath products become less effective—often after 150 to 300 cow passages. Keeping a solution too long may mean that cows passing through later receive much less protection.The study also identified major gaps among nonlactating animals: 69% of dry cows and 82% of heifers never passed through a footbath. Because hoof problems in heifers can negatively affect first-lactation milk production and reproduction, farms may need to consider hoof health across the animal's entire life cycle.Brad concludes by discussing how automated footbaths could improve consistency, shorten solution-retention times, and reduce labor. The key is developing a farm-specific protocol that accounts for cow flow, herd size, chemical safety, solution replacement, and hoof-health challenges across every group of animals.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 

Send us Fan MailA lot of researchers quietly struggle with the same question: when is a study truly ready to publish, and how do you write it so someone actually uses it? From the AVMA Convention 2026, we sit down live with Dr. Joshua Stern, a veterinary cardiologist and geneticist whose work bridges cardiovascular disease, genomics, and clinical impact.We start with Joshua's path into cardiology, sparked by working with “super athlete” animals like racehorses and sled dogs, then move into what he learned from publishing early in his career, including a genetic screening project in boxer dogs that came back completely negative. The twist: those results still mattered, and they taught him how to frame significance, define impact, and tell the truth clearly without overselling. We also talk about how to decide when to stop collecting “just one more” datapoint and instead share findings that can help patients, clinicians, and other researchers now.From there, we get practical about scientific writing and peer review. We unpack how to distill complex datasets into an approachable manuscript, when to move tables and niche analyses into supplementary materials, and why a massive supplement can be a sign you're trying to write two papers. Joshua also shares his go-to mindset for reviewing and responding to reviews, including the simple habit of reading critiques, walking away, and coming back with a clearer lens. We close with a research challenge he hopes the field tackles next: the optimal timing of medical or surgical intervention in dogs and cats as advanced therapies expand.If you care about veterinary research, manuscript publishing, and clinician-scientist career skills, subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave us a review with your biggest peer review lesson.INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ®  OR AJVR ® ?JAVMA ® : https://avma.org/JAVMAAuthorsAJVR ® : https://avma.org/AJVRAuthorsFOLLOW US:JAVMA ® :Facebook: Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association - JAVMA | FacebookInstagram: JAVMA (@avma_javma) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: JAVMA (@AVMAJAVMA) / Twitter AJVR ® : Facebook: American Journal of Veterinary Research - AJVR | FacebookInstagram: AJVR (@ajvroa) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: AJVR (@AJVROA) / TwitterJAVMA ®  and AJVR ®  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/avma-journals

Beef-on-dairy calves continue to bring strong prices, but producing calves that perform well from birth through harvest requires careful decisions about genetics and nutrition. In this episode, we look at current Minnesota calf markets, the factors influencing beef sire selection and recent research exploring how early feeding programs affect the long-term performance of Angus-Holstein calves.A University of Minnesota study compared conventional 20:20 milk replacer with a higher-energy 24:24 formulation. Calves receiving the 24:24 milk replacer had greater starter intake, faster weight and frame growth, and improved feed efficiency through eight weeks of age. The results suggest that supplying more nutrients early in life may encourage—not suppress—starter consumption.We also discuss an Iowa State University study that followed beef-on-dairy steers from the nursery through harvest. Although pelleted diets produced faster growth shortly after weaning, cattle raised on forage-based total mixed rations performed better later in the feeding period. The low-starch TMR group finished with heavier body and carcass weights, more Prime carcasses and greater carcass value, while the high-starch TMR group experienced substantially more liver abscesses.The research highlights why early growth should not be the only goal. Rumen health, feed costs, finishing performance and carcass quality all matter when developing profitable beef-on-dairy feeding programs.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

This episode examines how heat stress affects water intake in dairy cows—and why farms must prepare their watering systems for increasingly hot weather.A review of studies from 1985–2024 found that Holstein cows producing roughly 65–70 pounds of milk averaged about 24 gallons of water per day under thermoneutral conditions. During heat stress, intake increased by approximately 10 liters, or 2–3 gallons, per cow per day. Each one-unit increase in the temperature-humidity index was associated with another 1.5 liters of water intake. Although heat-stressed cows produce less milk, they drink more because the additional water supports evaporative cooling and body-temperature regulation.Data from the University of Minnesota's dairy herd revealed a more complicated picture. smaXtec sensors showed that cows averaged around 23 gallons per day, but estimated intake declined during summer. Possible reasons include warmer drinking water, pasture water access, competition at waterers, and changes in drinking behavior. Cows generally drank only four or five times per day, consuming roughly 14–20 liters at each visit. Peak drinking also shifted from midafternoon in winter to around 7 p.m. in summer, often after milking.These patterns highlight the importance of examining when cows drink—not just daily totals. Farms should ensure adequate water flow, tank capacity, access, and cool water during peak-use periods. Sensor readings are most valuable when compared with each cow's normal behavior and interpreted alongside weather, milk production, rumination, health events, and management changes.The central message is that water intake can be a useful indicator of heat stress, but unexpected changes should prompt investigation rather than an automatic conclusion. As extreme heat becomes more common, dairy water systems must be designed for peak demand rather than historical averages.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

Demographics of students has changes during that time period as well with females comprising 86% of students and 30% of students are non-white. Students now fill out a common application and each student applies to 5-6 schools. The national applicant:seat ratio is currently 2.4 but each institution applicant:seat ratio varies. Greenhill discusses the gender disparity in veterinary schools and explains that the issues of fewer men in veterinary schools is due to fewer men obtaining a bachelor's degree. Only 37% of men in the U.S. complete a bachelor's degree compared to nearly half of women. Men also take longer to complete the degree compared to women.  Students from rural communities comprise about 20% of veterinary students. AABP membership data indicate that 70% of our members grew up in rural communities. Nationally, 23% of adults in rural communities have a bachelor's degree or higher. Greenhill discusses some of the challenges and barriers for students in rural communities to seek out a veterinary education including changes to loan regulations and Pell Grants, lack of educational opportunities, and evaluation of rural mixed animal versus urban companion animal experiences.  Find AABP survey information under the Member Resources page of the AABP website at this link.
