Vetlife is a charity that provides independent, confidential and free help for everyone in the veterinary community including vets, vet nurses, students and non-clinical staff. James joined the charity in 2016 as a volunteer, and in 2023 became the President of the charity. James started by telling me about the origins of the charity, why it was set up and how it’s being run today. We went on to discuss some of the unique challenges those who work within veterinary medicine face and how it can affect their mental health. We concluded our chat by talking about the importance of having a supportive workplace and recognising potential difficulties and what we can do to help both ourselves and our colleagues in those circumstances.

    Jun 28 2024
    Welcome to this episode of The Underdog Vet Podcast! In this episode’s Animal Advocate Interview I welcome back veterinary surgeon and researcher Dr Paula Boyden. Paula first joined me on Episode 5 of Series 1 where we discussed the important work of The Links Group - you can find the link to that in this episode's details. Paula wears a variety of hats within animal welfare, and in this episode she was chatting with me about something she's done a lot of research in - importing dogs into the UK. Paula and I started by talking about the importing of puppies and dogs into the UK, we then moved onto the thorny subject of exotic diseases that may be introduced into the UK by dogs coming from other countries and finished by delving into the risks posed to the UK dog population by some of these diseases. Terms used in our discussion: Shedding: Spreading viral particles while you talk, exhale, eat etc Vector: Any organism that functions as a carrier of an infectious agent between organisms of a different species Sandfly: A colloquial name for any species or genus of flying, biting, blood-sucking fly Vertical Transmission: The transfer of virus from parent to offspring Vector borne: Diseases that are transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas Heartworm: A parasitic roundworm, a small thread-like worm, which causes dirofilariasis in dogs.

    S2:E7 - Dr Meghan Vaught - Maine Veterinary Medical Centre (USA)
    Sep 29 2023

    Welcome to this episode of The Underdog Vet Podcast! In this episode’s Animal Advocate Interview, I spoke with Dr Meghan Vaught a vet from the Maine Veterinary Medical Centre in Maine on the East coast of America. Meghan is a Critical Care Specialist and one of the medical directors at the hospital. She was the lead vet on a particularly upsetting case back in June 2022. Meghan and I discussed the details of the case, its coverage in local media and the subsequent repercussions of that coverage. We then moved on to talk more generally about the impacts on vet staff, team morale and the importance of teamwork. And finally we spoke about how pet owners can be best prepared for unexpected veterinary bills! Some terms mentioned in the podcast that not every listener might be familiar with:

    Free fluid/pleural effusion: Fluid seen in spaces within the body where it shouldn't normally be seen Double cavity: Meaning more than one body cavity is affected eg the chest and the abdomen Core Credit: Financial services company Wells Fargo: Financial services company Links:
