Have you noticed I use the word “caregiver” a lot? It’s intentional, and here’s why. What do you think? Will you try this language change?

Did any of these surprise you? 😬 Tell me below, and I’ll cover it in a future video!

Tbh, I’d rather not fill it.

Extractions are often the right treatment for painful dental disease, and they can be life changing for cats. But the real goal is prevention: routine oral exams, dental radiographs, and professional cleanings that help us find disease BEFORE it becomes severe!

The best dentistry isn’t about removing teeth. It’s about helping cats keep healthy ones for as long as possible! 🦷🐱✨

Ultrasound can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to be perfect to get started.

Oh, and speaking of getting started...

This fall at the FelineVMA Conference in Ft Lauderdale, FL, Ashlie Saffire and I will be leading a hands-on workshop: Feline Ultrasound in Action: Case-based POCUS & Guided Sampling Workshop!

When a cat’s coat starts looking greasy, matted, unkempt, yellow, or simply “not quite right”...

Changes in grooming habits are often one of the earliest clues that something is wrong! Pain, arthritis, dental disease, obesity, systemic illness, stress, and cognitive changes can all affect a cat’s ability (or desire) to maintain their coat.

It’s the only part of the surgery a caregiver will ever see. Take the time to do it well! 🪡

Don’t focus on becoming the best overnight. Focus on getting 1% better!

Small changes may feel insignificant in the moment, but over a career, they become transformational.

Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep growing!

What’s your “one thing” this week? 💜 Let’s do this!

Here’s a quick one! If you’re worried about constipation, undesirable urination, or defecation in your feline patient… don’t cut off the pelvis on your X-rays!

You don’t always have all the history. There could be an old pelvic fracture. The canal could be narrower than it should be. And so on…

You won’t know if you don’t look! 👀

⚠️ Graphic surgery content ⚠️

Yesterday, we showed you the contrast study that revealed a mysterious tract extending almost to the body wall...

So, we took it out.

And y’all... this thing was big!

What looked like a small draining wound on the surface was actually connected to an extensive tract hidden beneath the skin. No wonder it kept healing over and reopening month after month!

We’ll update you when lab results come back 💖

Draining wound since February... multiple rounds of antibiotics. No culture, no answers. Just a wound that would heal over... then reopen again and again?!

On exam and imaging, there were some abnormalities in the leg, but they didn’t seem to explain what was happening.

So we took a different approach...

By injecting Omnipaque into the draining tract, we were able to map its path, and discovered a channel extending almost all the way to the body wall!

Now that we know where it goes, it’s time to find out what’s causing it.

BRB, heading to surgery!
