In this episode, Chrissy talks with Dr Jennifer Fick, a veterinary orthopedic surgeon.

They discuss Jennifer's personal and professional perspective on TPLO surgery for cruciate ligament injuries, and perhaps just as importantly, TPLO recovery for dogs like Charlotte (a german shepherd) who need mental stimulation.

They also cover Jennifer's journey to becoming a mobile surgeon, her experiences with her dogs Charlotte and Elsie, and the challenges of dealing with canine hemangiosarcoma.

Additionally, they address Proposition 129 in Colorado, which proposes the creation of mid-level veterinary practitioners, and the concerns about patient safety and veterinary standards.
