Antibiotic resistance may prove to be one of the most significant health challenges we will face this century. As bacteria continue to evolve resistance mechanisms to our arsenal of antibiotics, infections could become a more serious prospect, and medical procedures with a substantial infection risk, such as open surgery, could become unacceptably risky. While antibiotic resistance is often considered to be a human problem, it's also a growing issue in veterinary medicine. Our pets can also develop infections that are difficult to treat when resistant bacteria are involved. Moreover, as we frequently share a living space with such animals, there is potential for crossover of resistant bacteria to humans. In a far-reaching study, Dr. Robin Temmerman and his colleagues of the executive animal health study center (or CEESA), which is a consortium of animal health companies, shed light on this issue, exploring antibiotic resistance in bacterial urinary tract infections in dogs and cats across Europe. Their findings provide hope and a roadmap for tackling this global problem.

“By creating this barrier to rabies between wildlife, pets, and people, it's not just about the well-being of the cats—it's about the well-being of the community.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, The Community Cat Clinic, and the Whisker Tracker App. In this episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with Dr. Bob Weedon, an expert in veterinary public health and a leading advocate for Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) programs. Dr. Weedon shares insights into how TNVR programs are essential for managing cat populations and offer critical public health benefits. By vaccinating community cats, TNVR efforts create a vital “barrier” against diseases like rabies, protecting pets and humans. Dr. Weedon explains how public health officials can embrace TNVR as a community health strategy, emphasizing the power of collaboration between local governments, public health departments, and animal advocates. The conversation ventures into the science behind rabies immunity, debunking misconceptions about cat-related diseases like toxoplasmosis, and why cat advocates should focus on reducing misinformation. Dr. Weedon also gives a sneak peek into potential breakthroughs in non-surgical sterilization techniques, which could revolutionize community cat management. Whether you're a cat advocate, public health professional, or just interested in animal welfare, this episode sheds light on the multi-layered impact of TNVR programs on communities nationwide.

What is actually occurring within a sheep with worm resistance? This week on the podcast we have a fascinating discussion with Dr Kelsey Bentley who has spent her career so far looking into the immune mechanisms of Katahdin sheep in the US. Kelsey runs us through what happens biologically within the sheep to make it ‘resistant'. She has also researched the importance of the role of colostrum in lamb immunity. Kelsey explains how it provides essential immunological benefits - particularly through IgG and IgA antibodies - and that colostrum quality varies between sheep and therefore is under genetic influence. Highlights:- The make-up of the Katahdin breed- The biology of parasite resistance- The genetics of parasite resistance- The effect of worm resistance on other traits like growth- The importance of good quality colostrum - Behavioral responses to illnessesHead Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited.

Students in the Veterinary Science program at Hilhi recently launched an innovative grooming lab in a school-based enterprise model as part of their new Animal Care lab course. Designed to emulate a professional pet salon, the lab allows students to apply their classroom knowledge in a practical, hands-on environment, moving from theory to real-world implementation. It opened with a soft-launch this fall, in which school staff were invited to bring in their family pets for grooming. This allowed students to experience what it's like to interact with actual clients and manage the needs of animals in a grooming setting. This unique opportunity not only enhances students' technical skills in animal care and grooming, but also introduces them to the operational aspects of running an animal service business. Through this course, Hilhi is empowering students with industry-relevant skills and positioning them for success in veterinary science and related fields. The Vet Science program at Hilhi is offered on the CCP Shuttle and is open to students across the district.

The Essential Oil Revolution –– Aromatherapy, DIY, and Healthy Living w/ Samantha Lee Wright
What You Will Learn: How pets support our own wellness. Dr. Katie's story on how she got interested in “wholistic” vet care and how it links to her message of hope to pet owners everywhere. The five foundations of holistic pet care and how essential oils fit into them. The scary truth about the pet food industry. Essential oil safety in pets: the importance of correct dosage, dilution, and the purity and quality of the essential oils. Why cats are more sensitive to some essential oils than other animals. What signs your pet will display if the the dose of essential oils is too high. How “self-selection” can help to determine what essential oil or herbs are best for your pet. What essential oils to be cautious with in dogs and cats. What to look out for in products that combine essential oils for your pets. The top essential oils that can be used for many of your pets' needs and common issues. The overlooked essential oil for pets that can help with digestive issues, vomiting, acid reflex, and inflammation. How to use myrrh oil for your pet's skin and gum issues. Natural approaches and essential oils that can help with your pet's grief. The importance of our pets' emotional health. How pets can guide us to our own self-care. How essential oils support your pets' microbiome and offer synergy. Dr. Katie's favorite essential oil DIY for inflammation, pain, and skin irritation in dogs: 5:5:5 drops of myrrh, copaiba, and frankincense oils in 2 ml/or more carrier oil (depending on the size of your pet). Our closing questions: (1) What Dr. Katie does daily for self-care and, (2) What she feels we should ditch and replace with instead for a more nourishing life.

Sponsored by VEG As a career emergency veterinarian since 2003, David Bessler, VMD, has a passion for helping people and their pets when they need it most. His intense focus on families made him realize emergency care was broken and wasn't working for anyone. Bessler took a holistic view of the ER experience, from start to finish, and from every angle, to make it better. Pets would be treated like people and pet parents like human beings. In 2014, armed with a vision and a dedicated team of like-minded people—the first VEGgies!—he purchased his first VEG hospital. They worked to reinvent the emergency experience. It was in this first hospital that VEG became “not normal,” in a good way! This new experience was fully transparent, with an open floor plan. They created a comfortable setting for pets, even if that meant getting on the floor with them; and keeping people and their pets together throughout treatment. Bessler also defined a positive company culture to make sure VEG would deliver on this revolutionary shift. It was exactly what pet parents and emergency vet professionals wanted, as VEG has the highest NPS in the vet industry. During his 20+ years in the field, Kenichiro Yagi, MS, RVT, VTS (ECC), (SAIM), has dedicated his career to reimagining veterinary nursing.

Trace mineral nutrition is often underestimated in agricultural education, yet it remains indispensable for ensuring optimal livestock health and productivity. These minerals play a vital role in numerous physiological processes, and their deficiencies can give rise to severe health issues. In this episode, we engage in a conversation with Dr. Robert VanSaun, a distinguished Professor of Veterinary Science at Penn State University and a specialist in animal and mineral nutrition for ruminants. Dr. VanSaun underscores the significance of trace minerals in maintaining livestock health and emphasizes their role in nourishing cows during the dry period.

Grand challenges in this episode: Preparing Students for Biotechnology Careers About the Challenge The purpose of this project is to leverage a preexisting online professional development resource and its large following of SBA educators to create a more effective model of professional development where teachers engage in immersive experiences in agriculture, capture those experiences via the formats already used by Owl Pellets, and share them with their peers to develop an ever-growing community of practice around grand agricultural challenges founds within teachers' local communities and FANH careers. One of the primary goals of this project is to re-engage SBA educators in the challenges, technology, and work of their local agricultural community – making grand challenges local. Visit the Teach Grand Challenges website. About the Guest Julie Throne - Before teaching I had a 17 year career with the Georgia Department of Agriculture as an inspector. I have a 20 year career in teaching agriculture. Currently I teach Basic Agriscience and Technology, Horticulture/Plant Science, Nursery Landscape, Animal Science/Biotechnology, and Veterinary Science. In 2004 I participated in a plant tissue culture workshop which drew my attention to biotechnology. Since then I have participated in more training, added the principles of biotechnology into my lessons, coordinated workshops, collaborated with researchers, and have had extensive experience in the FFA Agriscience Fair and other science competitions. In my other life, my husband of 33 years and I have a 200 acre beef cattle and meat goat farm. We have three children that have all had experience in exhibiting livestock, FFA Career Development Events, leadership, and Agriscience Fair. I understand the relevance of staying current with information and technology from a producer's perspective and an industry perspective, as well as how to utilize it to make our industry more productive.

This week we have Laura Sharkey and Carolyn Kelly back on the podcast. They are the co-founders of the Copilot Pet Dog Breeding Cooperative, and I always love to talk to them because of their fascinating insights into breeding dogs to be really good pets. We're talking about social media culture and how we love it and hate it - and how all of us love dogs and have the same goals even if we have such different perspectives sometimes on how to get where we're going.
