We have this week, Dr. Chris Byers behind the microphone or the CriticalCareDVM (www.criticalcaredvm.com). He is a double-boarded diplomate in internal medicine and critical care. We are talking favorite classes in vet school including hoof trimming. Dr. Chris tells us how you become a criticalist and why he went from university to private practice. Jolle just realizes that Chris is leaving really close to him and we reminisce how nice it is to live in the Midwest. Susan finds out that Chris's family are neighbors from her! Chris loves doing anesthesia for critical surgical cases and we talk about the approach to blocked cats.

Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!
