What does it mean to be a veterinarian, a credentialed veterinary technician, an assistant, or a new role entering the clinical space? In this episode, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, dig into veterinary medicine's identity problem: how comparisons to human medicine, unclear titles, internal hierarchies, and emerging roles like Colorado's veterinary professional associate (VPA) can shape how teams see themselves and each other. They talk candidly about why “more than” or “less than” language can create competition rather than confidence, how that trickles down through the clinic, and why role clarity matters for morale, collaboration, and long-term career satisfaction. This conversation is especially relevant for veterinarians, vet techs, assistants, practice managers, and anyone navigating scope-of-practice debates or changing team structures. Ernie and Beckie make the case for being proud of your role without needing to compare it to someone else's, and for building clinic cultures where every team member understands their value. #VeterinaryMedicine#VetMed#VetTechLife#VeterinaryTeams#VetMedLeadership

Horses graze on grass and plants, not trees, because their digestive tracts—shared by equids, tapirs, and rhinoceroses—cannot digest wood. Unlike ruminants (cattle, deer, goats), they avoid lignin. When starving, however, horses may eat almost anything, which is why some plants and trees become toxic. The goal of this podcast is not to make you plant and tree experts, but to help you appreciate two key principles of horse care: always provide adequate protein and forage, and proactively remove any potentially harmful vegetation before curious horses can reach it. Your horse's health depends on your attention to these crucial details. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984. Over the years, Geoff went from mucking stalls as a farmhand to starting his own equine practice. This journey helped him learn how to blend medical care with good horsemanship. Geoff believes in doing what is best for the horse and also in working with the horse. While at Cornell, he started the Cornell Student Horseman's Association, which organized talks with local experts, a knowledge competition called the Intercollegiate Horse Bowl, and Foal Watch at the Equine Research Park to help with live foal deliveries. Wanting to educate horse owners even more, Geoff also launched the first "I Love New York Horse Symposium," which drew 500 people from across the northeast. Geoff also spent time working at the Equine Isolation Lab with respected colleagues, including Dr. Coggins, whose name is on the well-known test. He worked both part-time and full-time at Cornell's Equine Research Park. On graduation day in 1984, while his classmates celebrated, Geoff drove his fully stocked vet truck to his first call—a sick foal. This marked the beginning of The Finger Lakes Equine Practice, which still operates today. Geoff sold the practice in 1996, worked for a short time at another clinic near Albany, NY, and then started The Equine Practice, focusing on equine dentistry. He continues this work from his base in South Florida. Geoff worked on his first horse's teeth in 1983, when his mentor showed him how to place his hand inside a horse's mouth without medication and rasp off the offending sharp points. He was hooked from the start and made dentistry a key part of his practice. Since then, he has examined the mouths of over 84,000 horses across the United States - yes, he's been counting.

Regenerative medicine is no longer just for specialty centers, but knowing when and how to bring these therapies into general practice can be a different challenge entirely. In this episode of the Clinician's Brief Partner Podcast, Dr. Rohit Malhotra joins Dr. Beth to break down what regenerative medicine actually comprises, which patients stand to benefit most, and what it really takes for a clinic to adopt these therapies successfully.

Science relies on asking questions, testing them, obtaining answers, and questioning those answers again. Scientists never settle; their curiosity drives them to consider all possibilities, regardless of prior beliefs. There is never a final answer—only answers that are close. This approach depends on continuous inquiry and skepticism. Horse owners are not scientists, and they are not trained to perform "research." Instead, they, and in fact the scientists themselves, are people who have evolved to work towards "social acceptance" as a means to survive harsh conditions that existed for millions of years. Believing other people who appeared to know things you didn't know is a natural phenomenon - people don't want to "rock the boat." The result is the formation of a social identity that gives us stability within a group. Examples include people in horse sports such as reining, dressage, eventing, or racing. Other examples are in differing opinions about treatments or care. This podcast discusses how scientific studies have rules to prevent bias, steering researchers towards a more accurate answer to their question (hypothesis). Unfortunately, untrained people are unable to see when scientific rules are broken, making the results of studies, especially nutritional studies about horses, unreliable when reported by the press. Worse is when those magazines are funded by advertisements that support the outcomes they promote. Hopefully, through this podcast, horse owners will become aware and keep asking questions until the foundational truths about our horses' health are discovered. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973.

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.

The April 2026 edition of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA Vol. 264, #4) caught my attention with 4 articles and an author's response to an article. In this podcast, I use the information gathered from them to suggest that many new veterinary graduates are a combination of the following: They may be focusing more on acceptance from their peers over competent patient care (acceptance by their veterinary team). They may be reading published scientific articles that are partly generated by artificial intelligence hallucinations (manufactured falsehoods). They may be carrying a larger educational debt load (struggling financially). They are in a profession with declining patient visits and increased care costs (decreasing practice income). They are struggling to provide affordable patient care within clients' financial means, which may fall short of the gold standard of care they were taught in school (an affordable spectrum of care). These five points raised in the journal are not being adequately addressed because mentors are retiring or dying without passing on time-proven care that many clients expect and can afford. The remaining practice owners hiring new graduates are caught between rising practice costs, declining income, and a wave of younger people with one eye on the patient and the other on a sense of self-worth they are told is tied to their ability to get along with their teammates. The crisis in veterinary care for horses is much more than increasing a new graduate's salary. It is a lack of good horsemanship skills, along with a spectrum of care choices that help horse owners address their horse's problem. However, horse owners also have an obligation to ensure they can support the care of all animals entrusted to them, not just financially, but also with the knowledge to prevent illness and injuries. #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry --------- Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973.

This journey helped him learn how to blend medical care with good horsemanship. Geoff believes in doing what is best for the horse and also in working with the horse. While at Cornell, he started the Cornell Student Horseman's Association, which organized talks with local experts, a knowledge competition called the Intercollegiate Horse Bowl, and Foal Watch at the Equine Research Park to help with live foal deliveries. Wanting to educate horse owners even more, Geoff also launched the first "I Love New York Horse Symposium," which drew 500 people from across the northeast.

He worked both part-time and full-time at Cornell's Equine Research Park. On graduation day in 1984, while his classmates celebrated, Geoff drove his fully stocked vet truck to his first call—a sick foal. This marked the beginning of The Finger Lakes Equine Practice, which still operates today. Geoff sold the practice in 1996, worked for a short time at another clinic near Albany, NY, and then started The Equine Practice, focusing on equine dentistry. He continues this work from his base in South Florida. Geoff worked on his first horse's teeth in 1983, when his mentor showed him how to place his hand inside a horse's mouth without medication and rasp off the offending sharp points. He was hooked from the start and made dentistry a key part of his practice. Since then, he has examined the mouths of over 84,000 horses across the United States - yes, he's been counting.

Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! Join Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, as they swap stories about one of the most relatable experiences in veterinary medicine: being the vet in everyone's contact list. In this episode, they reflect on the calls, texts, and photo-in-a-group-chat moments that every vet knows all too well, from the truly head-scratching questions to the ones that genuinely keep you up at night. They discuss why diagnosing a pet from a blurry photo or a secondhand description is harder than it sounds, what friends and family can do to actually help their vet get them the best advice, and why—despite it all—vets really do want to be there for the people they love.

Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Insulin Resistance (IR) are just words to most horse owners. We hear them, and we hope our horse doesn't "get them" attached to their health report. Even the veterinarians get a bit confused about how horses get started on the path of poor metabolic health. Expressions are created that lack meaning, such as "sugar is evil." If it were, why does it exist? So, I did some digging, surprising myself to find that what was taught to me in vet school over 40 years ago has recently been turned on its head! Here is one example: there is no such thing as lactic acidosis in muscles caused by anaerobic exercise (low oxygen). Insulin resistance is a normal, regulatory process that ensures our cells receive the right amount of fuel. In this podcast, I explain how understanding this can transform the way you feed your horses, improving their health and saving you money. Clear, science-based insights will help you cut through the confusion often found in barn conversations, magazines, and social media. We want the best for our horses, both in their health and in their performance. We are conditioned by marketing to believe we should add products to fix a problem, when that is rarely effective. For example, if your car's engine lacked power, you wouldn't add more fuel tanks to make it run better. Yet, that's what happens when different feeds and supplements are added to a horse's diet—it doesn't solve the problem and can worsen it. Listen to this podcast a few times and take notes, as I did to create it. #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare Please join our FREE community here: The Horse's Advocate Community page For more information about dentistry for horses: Dr. Tucker's Dentistry Practice Information about The Horsemanship Dentistry School Follow us on Facebook Learn more at Instagram Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973.

Send us Fan MailVeterinary medicine isn't about the money—but avoiding finances can quietly create stress, burnout, and long-term consequences.In this episode of the SmarterVet Financial Podcast, CJ Burnett and Tom Seeko unpack the hidden cost of financial avoidance in veterinary medicine. From subscription creep and pricing hesitation to discomfort around money conversations, they explore why so many veterinarians sidestep finances—and how that avoidance compounds over time.You'll hear real-world examples of how ignoring financial decisions impacts personal stress, business stability, retirement readiness, and career flexibility. More importantly, CJ and Tom reframe financial clarity not as greed—but as a tool that supports better medicine, stronger practices, and long-term sustainability.If finances feel overwhelming, avoided, or emotionally charged, this conversation will help you see money through a clearer, more constructive lens.
In this episode, Daniel and Ashley sit down with Dr. Kevin Tillman, a veterinarian with over 40 years of experience, to explore what it really means to help pets live longer—and better—lives. From the four pillars of pet longevity to the role of diet, early diagnostics, supplements, and emerging longevity drugs like rapamycin, Dr. Kevin breaks down practical, evidence-based strategies that challenge traditional approaches to veterinary care. The conversation dives into breed-specific health risks, the impact of exercise and injury prevention, and groundbreaking advances in feline medicine, including new treatments for heart disease. Dr. Kevin also shares a candid perspective on the current state of corporate veterinary medicine, raising concerns about profit-driven care models, limited appointment times, and the loss of relationship-based practice. Daniel and Ashley round out the episode with real-world discussions on vaccination protocols, spay/neuter timing, and dog park etiquette—blending expert insight with relatable stories from the field. This episode challenges listeners to rethink how we define quality of life for pets, emphasizing healthspan over lifespan and reinforcing the mission to truly help people help animals.
Equine colic refers to abdominal pain rather than a single disease and can arise from many causes, ranging from gas buildup to intestinal impaction. Horses with colic might show subtle signs such as reduced appetite or lethargy, or more obvious behaviors like pawing, flank-watching, rolling, or repeatedly getting up and down. Because some types of colic can become life-threatening quickly, recognizing early signs and contacting a veterinarian promptly can improve the horse's outcome.This episode is sponsored by CareCredit.
