Podcasts about Veterinary medicine

Like all animals, horses need energy to survive. That energy comes from fuel, which is why many health issues focus on what horses eat—grains, hay, supplements, and treats are all fuels we can see and buy. We often ignore how well a horse's cells turn fuel into energy, since we can't see the process or buy a quick fix. We tend to focus on taking action, usually by giving something, rather than changing how we keep them. But for hundreds of thousands of years, horses have adapted to survive on very little fuel when needed. In this podcast, we talk about why horses need their cell engines—the mitochondria, or MT—to stay flexible in how they use different fuels. Today, horses often get the same type of fuel all the time, which can cause their MT to get stuck. Just like a car engine that loses power, adding more fuel or supplements won't restore full power if the engine itself isn't working right.

Horse owners who are watching their budgets often focus on the cost of feeding each horse—hay, grain, supplements, and treats. But what about other expenses, like illness, less work, lost work, or even losing a horse too soon? These can lead to extra costs for vets, farriers, and other care. So, what is the real return on investment? I'm talking about this on the podcast because many horse owners think extra costs are just part of owning a horse and don't realize some of these expenses can be avoided. Like with all living things, what you put in shapes the life you get—good or bad.

What happens when you've built the career you thought you wanted… and realize you might be ready for something completely different?Dr. Jen Cole spent more than 25 years in veterinary medicine, built two veterinary practices with her husband, raised three children, and eventually made the decision to step away from hospital life.But she wasn't done with veterinary medicine.Today, Jen is the author of the Rooster and Squid children's book series, using storytelling to teach kids about animals, veterinary medicine, and how they can become better advocates for their own pets.In this episode, we talk about knowing when it's time to move on, separating who you are from what you do, building a career alongside a family, and giving yourself permission to figure out what comes next.We also get into some of the harder lessons Jen learned during 25+ years in practice: firing clients, letting go of team members who are hurting your culture, realizing that nobody is irreplaceable (including the owners), and learning that your hospital can continue to thrive without you.Jen shares what retirement actually felt like after decades of being a veterinarian and practice owner, why she gave herself six months before saying yes to anything new, and how that space eventually led her to an entirely new creative career.Then we dive into Rooster and Squid: why Jen believes kids can be some of the best advocates for their pets, how she learned to write and publish children's books, what she thinks about AI and human creativity, and what she's building next.Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that there isn't just one way to have a career in veterinary medicine. You can practice, own, lead, work part-time, raise a family, move into industry, create something completely new, or reinvent your career altogether.Your career can change. Your impact doesn't have to.In this episode • Knowing when it's time to step away from clinical practice • Separating your identity from being a veterinarian • Why Jen gave herself six months after retirement before deciding what came next • Building veterinary practices while raising a family • Being physically present versus actually being present with the people you love • Why it's okay to fire clients • Letting go of people who are negatively affecting your hospital culture • Why “nobody is irreplaceable” can actually be a healthy leadership lesson • The many different ways to build a career in veterinary medicine • Turning 25+ years of veterinary experience into children's stories • Why kids can be powerful advocates for their pets • Writing, illustrating, and publishing the Rooster and Squid series • AI, authorship, and the value of human creativity • Jen's upcoming search-and-rescue series inspired by veterinary emergency response workConnect with Dr. Jen ColeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/roosterandsquid/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553831672190 LinkedIn (Jen Cole, DVM): https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-cole-dvm-208b642a1/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/roosterandsquid/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@roosterandsquid​YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RoosterandSquidLucid Books (Dr. Cole's Publisher)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucid_books/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lucidbookspublishing/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lucid-booksPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/lucidbookspub/X: https://x.com/Lucid_BooksChoose People Love Pets is the veterinary culture podcast exploring leadership, workplace culture, career possibilities, and the people working to build a brighter future for veterinary medicine.People.

Sometimes hyperthyroidism is straightforward, and other times… management takes the long and winding road. In this Partner Podcast episode, Dr. Audrey Cook joins Dr. Beth to discuss the unmasking of chronic kidney disease following treatment of feline hyperthyroidism and review strategies for the monitoring and long-term management of cats with both conditions. Tune in for a practical framework for methimazole trials, the role of an FDA-approved oral methimazole solution, and treatment decisions in complex patients.Sponsored by VirbacContact us:Podcast@instinct.vet Where to find us:Website: CliniciansBrief.com/PodcastsYouTube: Youtube.com/@clinicians_briefFacebook: Facebook.com/CliniciansBriefLinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/showcase/CliniciansBrief/X: @cliniciansbriefInstagram: @clinicians.brief The Team:Beth Molleson, DVM - HostTaylor Argo- Producer, Sound Editing, & Project Manager, Brief Studio IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Felanorm® (methimazole) Oral Solution: As with all methimazole products, wear protective single use, impermeable (e.g., latex or nitrile) gloves when administering the solution. The most commonly reported side effects in cats are anorexia, vomiting, head/facial pruritus or edema, depression/lethargy, weight loss, anemia, elevated liver enzymes, skin lesions, elevated BUN, diarrhea, and thrombocytopenia. In some reported cases, the patients recovered after adverse reactions were recognized, the drug was withdrawn, and veterinary care was applied. Methimazole has anti-vitamin K activity and may induce bleeding diathesis without evidence of thrombocytopenia. Not for use in pregnant or lactating queens. Not for use in cats with primary renal or hepatic failure, autoimmune disease, or with hematological disorders (see the full prescribing information for additional details).

Visit https://www.petobesityprevention.org/2026-veterinary-clinic-pet-obesity-prevalence-survey Speaking of obesity in dogs and cats: spaying and neutering may be routine surgical procedures for most veterinary professionals and pet parents, but the nutritional shift afterward is anything but. This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, talk with Dr. Yuki Okada, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and Virbac's Veterinary Medicine and Nutrition Manager, about one of veterinary medicine's most useful obesity-prevention windows: What should we feed growing dogs and cats in the period surrounding spay or neuter? Dr. Yuki explains why appetite may rise while energy needs and activity fall, and why the feeding conversation should begin before surgery rather than get buried in discharge instructions. The team covers moving away from free-feeding, accounting for treat and supplement calories, measuring food with a gram scale, and giving families clear directions everyone can follow. They also unpack the clinical thinking behind Virbac VETERINARY HPM® Spayed & Neutered diets, including higher protein of animal origin to help support lean muscle, coupled with fiber for satiety. The discussion then moves beyond body weight to body condition score, muscle condition score, mobility, activity, and subtle “micro-pauses” that may signal discomfort. The takeaway: preventing unhealthy weight gain requires an early, practical plan that the entire veterinary team can reinforce.

We've all been there: the wee hours of a morning where your breath fogs the air, watching over a cow struggling to calve or a calf that isn't sure it wants to remain in the land of the living. Those moments can feel pretty isolating, but if you've got a rural large animal veterinarian a phone call away they are masters at putting fears to rest and offering a knowledgeable hand in often less-than-ideal situations. Our November print edition of the Angus Beef Bulletin focuses on relationships and we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the relationships cattlemen maintain with their large animal veterinarians. On this episode, we're joined by longtime rural veterinarian and Dean of the Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine Richard Prather to discuss how cattlemen can build a relationship grounded in trust with their veterinarian, the challenges associated with increasing the number of large animal practitioners and more. Additional Resources:Managing the Effects of Wildlife on Livestock with Rosslyn BiggsRancher's Thursday Lunchtime SeriesOklahoma State University Names New Dean of the College of Veterinary MedicineOSU Receives Historic $250 Million Investment to Build World Class Veterinary Teaching HospitalSubscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRAHave questions or comments?

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Meredith Jones, a 2008 graduate of North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After spending time in emergency practice, Jones is now a certified financial planner and student loan consultant. This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, manufacturers of Pyramid ® vaccines.  On a beef operation, risk is everywhere. When it comes to bovine respiratory disease — BRD — your calves need protection as soon as possible. Because calf health is everything, choose a vaccine as premier as your herd. PYRAMID® vaccines deliver relentless protection against the primary viruses and bacteria that lead to BRD — like BVDV Type 1b, BRSV and Mannheimia haemolytica — even in the face of maternal antibodies.  Get Relentless Protection at PyramidVaccines.com. Jones discusses the first decision for borrowers to make is if they will enroll in a traditional pay to zero repayment plan or a loan forgiveness plan called Income Driven Repayment (IDR). There are several IDR plans and recent federal legislation changed these plans and we walk through each of them. Jones also offers financial advice such as saving for a potential tax liability on the forgiven portion of the loan, saving for retirement and not delaying major life plans while on a loan repayment program. She also offers advice for how to lower your monthly payment and how your tax filing status can also influence your monthly payment. Jones also discusses the opt mistakes she sees borrowers make when they are enrolled in a loan repayment program.  Borrowers should consider utilizing the expertise of a loan consultant and financial planner to help the navigate the plan best suited to their needs as well as receiving the benefits of financial planning.

Kath Mertens (Kath Ulman) reflects on her life stage, mentioning her 20-year-old son heading to college, her divorce, and her part-time work. She describes feeling on the cusp of a new life phase, similar to when she graduated from Harvard. Becoming a Veterinarian Kath shares her initial career aspirations of becoming a veterinarian and the challenges she faced due to the lack of a pre-vet focus at Harvard. Kath recounts her first post-Harvard job in Jackson, Wyoming, where she worked as a ski bum and later as a wrangler on a dude ranch. She rediscovered her passion for veterinary medicine while working on a dude ranch and decided to apply to veterinary school. Kath attended Purdue University for veterinary school, focusing on equine medicine. She discusses the cultural and philosophical split between large animal and small animal veterinary medicine. Interning at an Equine-only Practice Kath describes her first job in an equine-only practice in Portland, Oregon, where she had interned as a veterinary student. She faced challenges with her boss, who was not interested in mentoring her, leading to a difficult first year. Kath left the job and worked as a small animal vet for a year and a half, where she enjoyed surgery and surprised herself by enjoying the work. She faced further challenges with her second job due to her outspoken nature and eventually left under less than ideal terms. Running a Practice and Economic Decisions  Kath decided to open her own practice, despite her initial disinterest in business, due to the lack of equine job opportunities. She ran her own practice for about 22 years, which was profitable but not financially rewarding. Kath scaled back her practice four years ago to work part-time as a small animal vet for Banfield Pet Hospital. She explains the economic reasons behind her decision, including the higher efficiency and pay in small animal medicine. Training Non-domestic Animals Kath developed an interest in animal behavior and positive reinforcement training, which led her to attend the International Donkey Wellness Symposium. She learned about training non-domestic animals to participate in medical procedures through positive reinforcement. Kath has been dedicating time to retraining a horse using these methods and teaching others. She discusses the economic differences between equine and small animal medicine, highlighting the higher volume and efficiency in small animal practice. Women in the Veterinarian Field The conversation turns to the high percentage of women in veterinary school and asks Kath about the trend. Kath speculates that women might be more willing to work for less pay and that veterinary medicine might be more accommodating for women balancing work and family. She acknowledges the gender gap in pay equity and the challenges women face in various careers. Kath reflects on the importance of women entering the veterinary workforce and the positive impact it has had. Harvard Reflections Kath shares her fond memories of organic chemistry and her academic crush on the professor. She recalls advice from her varsity ice hockey team's athletic trainer to the team which was to surround yourself  with people who love you, which Kath dismissed at the time but has come to realise the importance of this advice and how it has helped her overcome imposter syndrome and negative self-talk. She emphasizes the value of having supportive people in one's life and how it has positively impacted her mental health and career.

Rejuvenate Bio CEO Dan Oliver joins Chris Lustrino to discuss the company's gene therapy platform for aging-related disease. A spinout from George Church's lab at Harvard Medical School, Rejuvenate Bio is developing therapies designed to change gene expression profiles associated with aging rather than edit or replace a patient's underlying genome. Dan explains how the company uses viral delivery to help the body produce beneficial proteins over time. The conversation explores Rejuvenate Bio's dual strategy across animal health and human health. Dan explains why dogs offer both a meaningful commercial market and a scientifically useful path for developing aging-related therapies, especially because dogs age faster than humans and owners increasingly view pets as family members. Chris and Dan also discuss Rejuvenate Bio's partnerships with animal health companies, its development and commercial milestone agreements, its recently closed round backed by Merck Animal Health, the FDA approval process for veterinary products, and the company's long-term plan to generate first-in-human clinical data that could create major partnering, acquisition, or public market opportunities.
