The Idiots recognize that it is tough to be a woman in the world, and it can be even more for one in the veterinary world, so they brought back two of their favorite women doctors, Dr. Erin and Dr. Laura, for a chat about what it's like to be the fairer sex. The gang discuss sexism, both obvious and subversive, harrassment, and discuss the surprising reality that while the vet world is majority female, some of the worst attitudes towards women comes from other women.

Apologies, we did not record this episode for video.

If a dog's nose is dry, is it sick? Do cats really steal baby's breath? Listen in for these and other myths your favorite Idiots discuss. The boys talk about why these myths exist, where they came from, and if there is any validity to them. 

That's it. That's the show description.

Also, if you really like this episode, reach out to the Idiots either at their individual socials or at [email protected] and ask about some of your own myths that you have heard about pets over the years. 

Welcome back! Season 3 is finally here! We should all be excited!

The boys welcome their first quasi-celebrity, Dr. Dean Scott, vet extraordinaire. It addition to being a vet (in both senses, spending 5 years in the US Army Veterinary Corps), he is a multi-genre published author. He is currently working on the third of the "Dragon Vet" Series, with the second, "The Dragon Vet's Apprentice" released in October of 2023. He does not stop at fantasy, though. He has covered just about every genre and style there is. Come sit in on this wonderful afternoon with the equally wonderful Dean.

There is another Dean Scott who is an author, but ours is a veterinarian, too. And awesome. And on this show. Was the other Dean Scott on here? Nope. Dr. Dean Scott is way better.

As Season 3 is just a few days away, the Idiots present to you, completely uncut, unedited, unanythinged, many the minis (see what I did there?). This is an absolute rambling, barely coherent, but a peek behind the scenes of how the minis were thrown together. There are moments of random BSing, periods of no talking for pee breaks (both for dogs and Idiots), and other stuff this Idiot does not remember talking about. Enjoy! 

This mini discusses animals that are poisonous or venemous, and some that are both. Also, they argue over when something goes from being venemous to poisonous, or vice verse. Cory usually works his magic to annoy Kent, but he's in fine form in this one. 

We've touched on this before, but it's a good topic for all to be reminded on. The relationship with a client and vet is very important. Be open, be kind, be honest. Don't be a jerk. Don't try to guilt trip. They're doing the best they can for your pets, and you being a monster is going to only make the animal suffer. These vets are humans. Also, as they are humans, do remember there are established boundaries that must be kept. They may love your pet, your pleasant disposition, your behavior, and your business, but they may not necessarily want to be best friends with you. Nothing personal, just, it's their life and sometimes needs to be kept private. 

In this, Kent discusses some embarrassing moments in hospital rooms and then dives into antibiotics (and other drugs) for pets. You don't know better than your vet, please don't tell them they need to give you antibiotics without consult. Thanks!

Surprise episode drop!!! Special Preseason to Season 3 Ep!

The Idiots are back with your favorite large animal Idiot Vet, Dr. Erin Masur, and they're talking bird flu. There is so much misinformation, fear, and general confusion right now, and Dr. Erin is setting things straight. Cold hard facts and reality of what is going on, how it will impact prices of eggs, milk, and anything that contains either, and why burying this information is, at best irresponsible, and at worst, critically dangerous. This is an episode you will not want to miss.

There was one specific to h5n1 that the cdc was running but due to an executive order updates were halted to that webpage

This mini touches on separation anxiety, and some of the things you can do to help it. Oh, and a touching (and terrifying) story about Tazer. 

Finally, back to talking about animals, right? The Idiots discuss the puppy vaccination schedule, from birth to being an adult dog.
