S3E04 - Dr. Carolyn McKune on Anesthetizing Dogs and Cats with Common Cardiac Diseases
This month, we’re diving deep into the world of anesthetizing dogs and cats with cardiac disease, and spoiler alert: there’s too much good stuff to fit in one beat! So, we’re splitting this topic into a TWO-PART SERIES to make sure nothing important gets left in vein.
In this first episode, Dr. McKune helps us lay the groundwork by walking through the pathophysiology of common degenerative cardiac diseases seen in dogs and cats.
S3E03 - Dr. Erik Hofmeister on Discussing Anesthetic Risk with Clients
Anesthesia is a vital part of veterinary care—it’s what makes lifesaving and life-improving procedures possible for our patients. But for many pet owners, the thought of anesthesia can be downright nerve-wracking. From easing general worries and tackling tough cost conversations to navigating the emotional challenges of unexpected complications, one thing is clear: compassionate, honest communication makes all the difference.
