In this episode, Nikki is joined by Holistic Veterinarians, Dr. Neely North, DVM, CVA, CVFT, CVMMP and Dr. Tracy Duffner DVM, CVA, CAVCA, to discuss the use of holistic medicine for stress diarrhea instead of antibiotics. They also discuss Willow's potential UTI and give Nikki some advice on handling it.

Dr Tracy Duffner was born in Michigan and raised in Northern Ohio. She earned her undergraduate degree from Otterbein University and her DVM from Ohio State in 2006. After graduation, she moved to South Carolina and worked in small animal primary care practices, then transitioned to emergency medicine and back to primary care. Looking for a change, she was certified in acupuncture by Chi University in 2019, in animal chiropractic by the AVCA in 2021, and is currently completing coursework in veterinary homeopathy. She started a mobile holistic practice in 2019, partnered in a brick-and- mortar integrative practice for a few years, and now has returned to mobile exclusive holistic practice.
