Beyond the Back

This is part one of a 2-part episode on our little herbivore friends. Their anatomy and physiology is really cool and interesting, so you'll enjoy this episode even if you don't have one for a pet! GI stasis in rabbits, Guinea pigs, and chinchillas is a serious concern with many possible causes. In part one, we'll explain how these animals are a bit different and how that creates digestive issues in the first place.

It's all about hydration! Being sick or injured can lead to rapid dehydration. Administering fluids is one of the most common treatments in veterinary medicine. If you have a pet for any length of time, it's very likely that you'll deal with fluids for that pet, so this episode will touch most pet parents. Learn all about how and why we give fluids, whether it's for your cat, dog, horse, ferret, or tortoise!

The medical history. ALL of those crazy questions. So much detail. Why are we so nosey? A good history is the first way we get to know you and your pet. It tells us a ton about how they are doing, and if they're sick, it helps narrow down the possible causes in a short time just by chatting. We then select better diagnostics, saving time and money so we can help your pet faster.

The better we do at the history, the better we can help you give the best care for your friend. In this episode, we'll entertain you while discussing what information helps us, so that you can be ready. It will feel far less like an interrogation or a test, and we'll be able to spend more time helping your pet live their best life!

In this episode, Heather and Mike explore ultrasound. You've probably seen ultrasound used to look at a fetus either IRL or on your favorite TV show, but it can do so much more than that. Learn how useful it is, how it tells us different things form radiographs, and why it requires a funny haircut (don't worry, fur grows back).
