Welcome back to Vet Sessions! We hope everyone had a restful holiday season. In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Dr. Scott Weese, a veterinary internal medicine specialist and the Chief of Infection Control at the Ontario Veterinary College. An expert in infectious and parasitic animal diseases, Dr. Weese joins us to discuss his well-known Worms & Germs Blog and its new podcast counterpart. Our infectious disease focus this week is Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), as Dr. Weese explains what it is, which ticks transmit it, and how to recognize it in practice, including real-world cases that first raised concern about RMSF in Ontario. We hope you enjoy this informative conversation!
