Research by Auckland emergency doctor Dr Natasha Duncan-Sutherland has found there are around 25,000 dog-related injuries recorded each year - leaving hundreds of people in hospital. Dr Kat Littlewood is a Lecturer in Animal Welfare and Veterinary Specialist in Animal Welfare Science, Ethics, & Law at the School of Veterinary Science at Massey University.

When is it time to say goodbye to a much loved, but unwell pet, and what can a pet owner expect from their family vet when it comes to the difficult matter of euthanasia? Dr Kat Littlewood is a Lecturer in Animal Welfare and Veterinary Specialist in Animal Welfare Science, Ethics, & Law at the School of Veterinary Science at Massey University. She's recently co-authored a study published in the New Zealand Veterinary Journal on the topic, which finds quite a variation in how vets approach euthanasia, and that student vets don't get enough training in the area, particularly in how to manage compassion fatigue and clients' emotional needs.
Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as we welcome special guest Dr. Shelagh McCaffrey, who will talk with us about end-of-life care. We'll discuss: - the difference between futile and palliative care. - making the decision to euthanize and preparing for the experience. - including children in end-of-life care, including euthanasia. - in-home vs in-office euthanasia. - and more--feel free to send your comments and questions during the broadcast. Dr. McCaffrey is one of fewer than 100 veterinarians worldwide who has advanced training and certification in animal hospice and palliative medicine. After working in the veterinary profession for nearly 15 years, Dr. McCaffrey began to realize that there is a significant gap in senior pet care. With all of the incredible advances in veterinary medicine over the past decade, she noticed how often pet parents felt lost when their beloved companion received a chronic or terminal diagnosis. Without resources to assess what all of their options were and what might be best for their individual situation, many pet families began to feel helpless. Dr. McCaffrey helps her clients navigate through this extraordinarily challenging time in their pet's life.

What is a Veterinary Specialist? Veterinary specialists are veterinarians who have advanced training in various veterinary medical and surgical disciplines and are Board-certified. To become Board-certified, a veterinarian must have completed, at a minimum, four years of veterinary college, a one year internship or equivalent, and two to three years in a residency program that meets the standards of a recognized specialty college or board. There are additional training and caseload requirements that must be met during the residency and finally, to become an ACVIM Diplomate the veterinarian must pass a series of rigorous examinations. For more info, please contact Dr. Bragdon. Dr. Bragdon is co-founder of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association and currently serves as the President. Her primary goal in her work on behalf of IVPA members is to use her expertise gained working for large veterinary pharmaceutical and device companies to promote the unique value independent practices deliver to their clients, their patients, and their communities. Dr. Bragdon joined PS Broker to educate veterinary students and veterinarians about the benefits of practice ownership. The combination of PS Broker's expertise in evaluating and selling veterinary practices and Dr. Bragdon's expertise in running a hospital as a clinician will support veterinarians as they explore ownership opportunities.

Welcome to Bark & Wag 15 Minute Vet Talk – I am your host Polly ReQua Today we are talking to Dr. Kathy Sennello, a Veterinarian at Veterinary Specialty Care in Mount Pleasant, SC. We are discussing the different type of Vet Specialists you can visit with your dog. Dr. Sennello, thank you for taking the time to talk to all of us. What is a Veterinary Specialist? What is a Specialist? What type of training do they receive? How do you find one in your area? What is difference between your family Vet, a Specialist and what they offer you and your pet? Veterinary Specialists A veterinary specialist is a veterinarian who has completed additional training in a specific area of veterinary medicine and has passed an examination that evaluates their knowledge and skills in that specialty area. Currently, there are 22 AVMA-recognized veterinary specialty organizations comprising 41 distinct specialties. Veterinarians can be specialists in behavior, ophthalmology (eye diseases), internal medicine, surgery, dentistry and many more areas. The specialty organizations are referred to as "colleges," but they're not schools or universities. The specialist's expertise complements that of your veterinarian. You may be referred to a veterinary specialist if diagnosing or treating your pet's health problem requires specialized equipment and/or expertise that your veterinarian does not have. It's critical that you, your veterinarian and the veterinary specialist communicate and work together to provide the best care for your pet. Here's a list of veterinary specialties recognized by the American Board of Veterinary Specialties, with very simple descriptions of what these specialists do. For more information about the specialties, click the link to go to the website of the specialty college responsible for certifying veterinarians in that specialty: Anesthesia: veterinarians who focus on making sure animals feel less or no pain associated with veterinary procedures Animal Welfare: veterinarians with specialized training and experience in animal welfare Behavior: veterinarians with additional training in animal behavior Dentistry: veterinarians who perform procedures on animals' teeth Dermatology: veterinarians who study diseases and conditions of the skin Emergency and Critical Care: the "ER docs" and intensive care specialists Internal Medicine, which includes specialties in Cardioloy: the study of diseases and conditions of the heart and circulatory system Neurology: the study of diseases of the brain, spinal cord and other parts of the nervous system Oncology: the study of tumors and cancer Laboratory Animal Medicine: veterinarians working in research or in practice, making sure that laboratory animal species (rabbits, rats, mice, etc.) receive proper care. Microbiology: veterinarians who study viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. Nutrition: veterinarians working to make sure that animals' diets meet their body's needs for nutrients Ophthalmology: veterinarians studying diseases and conditions of the eye Pathology: veterinarians studying disease in animals Pharmacology: veterinarians studying how medications/drugs affect animals Poultry Veterinarians: veterinarians who work with chickens, turkeys and/or ducks, usually in food production settings Preventive Medicine: veterinarians who study how diseases are spread and how they can be prevented Radiology: veterinarians who focus on the study of x-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (often called CAT scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other imaging procedures that allow us to see "inside" an animal's body Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation: veterinarians who focus on returning animals to normal function after injury, lameness, illness or surgery Surgery: veterinarians who specialize in performing surgery. A certified surgeon will be certified in either small animal surgery or large animal surgery. Within these groups, many surgeons will focus their work in one of these two subcategories but are not limited to them: Orthopedics: these surgeons focus on bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, etc. of the body's skeletal system Soft Tissue surgery: these surgeons focus more on the internal organs and non-bone tissues of the body Theriogenology: veterinarians who specialize in animal reproduction Toxicology: veterinarians who study the effects of poisons and other toxic products on the body (and how to treat animals affected by these toxins) Veterinary Practitioners: veterinarians in clinical practice who have additional training and expertise in certain animal species Avian Practice (birds) Equine Practice (horses) Beef Cattle Practice (cattle raised for meat) Feline Practice(cats) Canine/Feline Practice (dogs and cats) Exotic Companion Mammal Practice (ferrets, rabbits, mice, rats and other small mammals often kept as pets) Food Animal Practice (cattle and pigs) Dairy Practice (cows that produce milk) Reptile and Amphibian Practice (snakes, lizards, salamanders, turtles, etc.) Swine Health Management (pigs) Zoological Medicine: veterinarians who work with zoo collection animals, free-living wildlife, aquatic species and companion zoological animals
