With how frequently we see the term 'littermate syndrome' thrown about, one would expect it to be a well defined, well documented phenomenon. But it's not! Join me to learn what we currently theorize on the topic, & how to prevent it! youtu.be/oVx5YDlGKXU?... Take care, all 🐾

This week's video covers the most common cause of heart murmurs - issues with the mitral valve youtu.be/YGonEyFN-p0?...

Canadian COVID Forecast: May 10-23, 2025 SEVERE: none VERY HIGH: AB, BC, NB, North, ON, PEI HIGH: CAN, MB, NL, NS, QC, SK MODERATE: none About 1 in 134 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

A new study shows that air cleaners can reduce up to 98,1 % of viral load in the air of a #COVID patient's room with confirmed positive airborne viral RNA. Rooms with HEPA ventilation had zero virus detected. 👏 #CleantheAir in hospitals and schools!👏 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Do hares change colour in the winter because it gets cold? Why do Siamese cats have such unique 'pointed' fur? Join Dr. Em to find out! youtu.be/tI9D_b8Ipy4 Take care, all

“This comprehensive meta-analysis indicates that patients with active cancer with SARS-CoV-2 have a higher risk of mortality and hospitalisation than those without cancer.” There is NO excuse to be unmasked around cancer patients. And, you can’t tell who has cancer just by looking at them. Ergo…😷

Given the rise of Measles (an airborne virus) outbreaks in Canada we should absolutely have N95 mask requirements in schools. This isn't even extreme. Not doing so is extreme at this point

This week's video covers the second most common cause of front limb lameness - elbow dysplasia! (The most common cause is OA, an issue that can be secondary to other issues like elbow dysplasia). youtu.be/herSzKkK1S0 Thank you to everyone who helped me out with b-roll video/photos, I appreciate it!

Wow, they are hosting over 70 workshops all across BC this summer where participants will make a Corsi-Rosenthal box for free!! Amazing work #ph25sp

Today we tackle The Great Fetch Debate! Should you do it with your dogs? Should you never do it with your dogs? Let's talk about it! youtu.be/-e0Q-kiMvdI Take care of yourselves, everyone 🐾

If you don’t wear a mask in public spaces, you’ve become an active participant in disabled & immunocompromised deaths Just because most people are doing it, doesn’t make it right Just because the government gave you permission to stop caring about immunocompromised people, doesn’t mean you should

For herd immunity against measles, 92-95% of the population must be vaccinated. As a live vaccine MMR can’t be given to pts who are immune suppressed (including pts receiving chemo/radiation or immunosuppression) And it’s not effective in newborns. So if you CAN get it, we REALLY need you to.

Has any of the recent discourse on whether or not we should be using food puzzles come across your social media? Let's dive into the topic of contrafreeloading, along with what I personally do for my own critters! youtu.be/cgbH1p563AQ Happy Friday, all 🐾

If you think the pandemic you can’t remember was traumatic, try being one of the few who knows we’re still in one while everyone else pretends it’s over. #COVID #WearAnN95

For those who thought Omicron was the "off ramp" to reopen schools and go back to work. Kids and cardiac sequelae. Over a million in the study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enjoy today's video covering Senvelgo! It's wonderful having it as an option for some diabetic cats, and it's important to know the common side effects to watch for. youtu.be/fQlglTNGWVA?... Take care, all 🐾

Ableism is so pervasive & normalized that we have so called leftists attacking disabled people for being unable to protest. Telling them the stakes are “too high to stay home” These same people do nothing to make protests accessible. There can’t be social justice without disability justice

You haven’t “learned to live with COVID” if you don’t understand that layered prevention is the most effective This means wearing a mask in public spaces (KN95 or better), using HEPA filtration / air purifiers, AND getting the most up to date COVID vaccine

If you’re doing political action today, it should be accessible to disability communities. Y’all wearing n95s? Did you arrange transport for folks who can’t drive? Factor in assistive devices when planning? There is no justice without disability justice. No revolution without disabled folks.

Today we are covering the most common primary bone cancer - osteosarcoma. Learn about symptoms to watch for, treatment options, and some promising research for future treatment possibilities! youtu.be/9HBe7IP1wxM Take care of yourselves 🐾💜

The next video is going to be a bit longer & we weren't able to get the additional editing done for today. As a result, enjoy a throwback all about research based training! youtu.be/1tKNd64T6gg Learn about the research on positive reinforcement, punishment, and dominance theory!

@bayareavetbehavior.bsky.social thank you for your feline lectures during the Vet Vacation Conference today! I appreciated your presenting style and the content!

“See you at #SBM2025” Actually… no, you won’t. Still no clean air. Still no respirators. Still no serious action from a field that claims to care about equity, health, and science. I’ll be fighting for those things at home—and sharing my science elsewhere. #LongCovid #CleanAirNow #PublicHealth

Responsible clinicians wear proper masks. ❤️

“Your health is not my responsibility!” Has become the go to phrase for people who refuse to take any mitigation measures against the spread of Covid. They fail to understand that personal choice ends when your decision impacts MY health. “You do you” doesn’t work when we all share the air.

Essentially every cat and dog will deal with this eye issue as they age - join Dr. Em to learn about nuclear aka lenticular sclerosis in today's video. youtu.be/o-waeu5kfRU 💕🐾

No, Of Course Your Child Wasn’t Harmed By The Virus That Killed 30 Million People That You Made Them Catch Repeatedly.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

New Zealand: Too many catching COVID-19 in hospital, experts say - but precautions being rolled back. "Australian data suggests 10-15% of COVID deaths are from hospital-acquired infections, representing hundreds of people. Avoidable infection and death are also costly to the health system."

Canadian COVID Forecast: Mar 15-28, 2025 SEVERE: ON VERY HIGH: CAN, QC HIGH: AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, North, NS, PEI, SK MODERATE: none About 1 in 142 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

Today is the 15th March - Long Covid Awareness Day. On this day, we acknowledge Australians and so many others around the world impacted by and living with Long Covid. Please think of others. #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #WearAMask Test, isolate, rest. Mask up. Clean the air.

Seeing as I currently am living through (a lot of) relocating, I figured a video covering the things I do for my own cat and dog/what I recommend you do for your pets, would be a good idea! I hope you find my Top 10 Tips helpful! youtu.be/Pzoa5X_Fnwg Take care of yourselves 🐾💜

Almost every measles outbreak in the US & Canada involves an exposure in a healthcare setting. This is why we need mandatory masks in healthcare. It helps protect the babies who are too young to be vaccinated, those with immune issues who’s systems don’t respond to the vaccine AND the unvaccinated

Researchers used brain MRI to compare 23 people with cognitive Long COVID to 19 without symptoms. They found less gray matter in regions tied to memory, speech, and executive function, plus white matter changes in key memory pathways. www.croiconference.org/abstract/207...

Too bad we lacked public health that would have informed parents about how to protect their children. Currently children continue getting COVID yearly if not more frequently. Mask your child & push for clean air in schools as well as vaccinate.

It is utterly unbearable that we are FIVE YEARS into the pandemic and we still don’t have clean air in schools. Canadian provincial governments and the Federal government aren’t even clearly stating and promoting that we NEED clean air in schools. 5 years in and all pretend it’s not airborne, still.

Another measles case in Ontario, with four public exposures. A Costco, and three healthcare facilities. Why are so many of these kids going to multiple healthcare facilities before the measles is caught? Is it being missed? Are they leaving before being seen? Masks in healthcare now!

Closer to 165,000 excess deaths in Canada in the last 5 years --AFTER subtracting excess mortality attributable to toxic drugs and overloaded healthcare system (% excess cancer deaths) -from '22 on it's ~35-45K/yr, similar to (and on top of) annual smoking deaths -about 10-13X annual flu deaths

Happy Friday! Today's video covers a mini update on BEG (boutique, exotic, grain free) pet food formulas after a grain free pet food company attempted to sue Hill's... youtu.be/bvpIE_obsvI Take care of yourselves 💜🐾
