Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsHorsin' Around With Dr. Lord (not THAT Lord, though)Are you ready for some really cringe jokes that make Dr. Kent want to play in traffic, followed by some really great and inciteful discussions about horse medicine? Then we've got an episode for you. This week, The Idiots talk with Dr. Natalie Lord (who does not turn water into wine, much to our disappointment) about the fun, the frustration, the pride, and the problems with being a horse vet. Most is done ambulatory, so travelling on site, and sometimes the trips can take up nearly the entire day. However, it is rewarding, always.
2026-02-101h 19Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsThis Episode Is Very BoardingWelcome welcome! This has been a crazy season. The first half was as long as our longest season. We took a break, and now we are back again. Man, it always feels good to take some time off. While it may not seem like it, the three Idiots really put in a lot of effort, and it takes a lot of effort to sound this relaxed, honestly. We're proud of what we do, but sometimes the batteries need to recharge. Anyway, that aside, we are joined by Kristi, franchisee/owner of Hounds Town Fayetteville. We talk about t...
2026-02-031h 18Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsThe Reign of ReindeerParents, bring the kids around for this one! They'll be excited to hear it, and for a VM4IBI first, there is no cursing at all! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever you believe and celebrate. For a midseason finale, The Idiots (all three, including Merry Bethmas, the Associate Producer Idiot) talk vet med on reindeer. At least, the first half is, until Cory gets a text from a guy calling himself "Santa" and asks us to talk about his 9 reindeer. Beth, who is the Christmas Reindeer expert, teaches us even more about the reindeer that h...
2025-12-2242 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsPrivate and Public Clinic with Dr. XandaHave you ever wondered what the difference is between a private and private vet clinic is? Listen in this week with our friend Dr. Xanda Fuhrken, who has been in both worlds, as we compare and contrast the worlds. We also talk about the large conglomerates that masquerade as a small town vet clinic and how to find out if they are, should you wish. We also somehow give a shout out to Shelby, Xanda's sister, so check her out on TikTok @shelbolognapepperonipizza. Worth it.
2025-12-1652 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsPet Trash PandasHowdy, listenerlings!! This week's episode is a fun one. Beth, The Associate Producer Idiot joins our discussion with our new friend Raffaela Lesch, PhD, who was the lead researcher in studying trends showing that raccoons are following a similar path that wolves did en route to becoming dogs. The good news, this means that trash pandas may become domesticated, possibly self-domesticated, to be pets. Ya know, little bandit masked housemates! The bad news, unless you plan to live for another 10k+ years, you likely will never own one. Does anyone have a number for a cryogenic deep freeze person...
2025-12-091h 01Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsNot One More VetToday is Giving Tuesday, and what a fortuitous timing for this episode to drop (trust me, Cory did not plan it this way, it's just stupid luck). The Idiots sit down with Gigi Tsontos and Jenny Glasgow, executive director and president of the board, respectively, of Not One More Vet, or NOMV. It's hard exactly to pin down what NOMV is, but as a very basic description, they are an incredibly important group, coalition, movement that gives veterinary professionals (from the lead doctors and owners of clinics to techs to cleaning crews) resources, education, and a collective to focus...
2025-12-021h 00Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsWobbles the Wonder CatSo, against his wishes, Cory the Common Idiot has a cat. Her name is referred to as Silver or Silvie in the episode, but she is actually named Wobbles the Wonder Cat, because it annoys Amber, the Brain Witch Idiot. Anyway, Wobbles is extra special because she has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. This basically makes basic movements slightly...off. A wobbly kitty, if you will. The Idiots discuss her condition, almost give away the story on how she ended up in the Common Idiot's household (a story for a later time), and the condition of cerebellar hypoplasia, what...
2025-11-2544 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsBeth Was An American Girl Vet Pro (Who Left The Wildflowers to Run Down A Dream In Africa and Germany)Happy Tuesday, and we have a show for you! The Idiots have a HUGE announcement, then discuss veterinary medicine differences around the globe (or across the board, if you're a flat earther), mainly focusing on rural Africa and Germany. They discuss making something out of nothing, regulations, and how the US could be better, and what a hyena kiss is. Also, lots of escaped thoughts, but that's just par the course for the Idiots.
2025-11-181h 10Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsVPAsThis week, The Idiots discuss VPAs, or...ya know what, I am not going to tell you what a VPA is because it takes away the mystery. This is what they call in the show biz "a teaser". Are you interested? I hope so! Anyway, Dr. Kent compares VPAs to something similar in human medicine, and they discuss potential goods and bads of VPAs. Just listen. I'm really sleepy and have nothing in the creative tank. I mean, I named the episode "VPAs". Just lower your standards this once, please. Thanks!
2025-11-1151 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsAn Afternoon With Our New Pal JaeHey everyone! Meet Jae. They are an awesome listener/fan who reached out, has some things to say about being in the vet world as a rookie, sometimes scared, sometimes not knowing what to expect, but feeling their way through and getting better every day. Listen up, because they also talk about what it takes to be a great client and what to avoid to not be a boneheaded one! Plus, talks of bottle feeding kittens. So, pull up a seat at the proverbial table, grab a beer (except Jae, Jae will be drinking a soda or juice or...
2025-11-0459 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsThar Be Vampars In Them There DiseasesSpooky Season is finally ending, and the Idiots end it with a fizzle. Piggybacking off of last week's Vampire and Tuberculosis episode, the discussion dives into more vampire legends, including the tie into wolves and bats, disease creating a weakness to sunlight, water and rabies, and how these and other misunderstandings with disease and how it spread directly impacted the lore of the classic vampires we know today. There literally was even a Great Vampire Pandemic. Fun times.
2025-10-2851 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsTuberculosis SucksKeeping the Spooky Season eps rolling, Idiots Cory and Doctor Kent discuss Tuberculosis and the foundation of the modern vampire that has come from it. That's basically it. They talk about how not sexy tuberculosis is, both in what it does to the body (not just the lungs) and the bacterium. Stay vaccinated, stay safe, and don't handle dead bodies that died of an unknown disease without PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Also, Ellis makes another guest appearance.
2025-10-2151 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsCryptid Med For Idiots Part 2: The CryptidingSpooky season is halfway over, and the Idiots aren't going to let it go without a bite...of spooky! The boys discuss a few new cryptids, and talk about why they will not touch a skinwalker-out of respect.
2025-10-141h 01Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsCryptid Med For Idiots By IdiotsSpooky Season continues, and this week, the Idiots discuss cryptid veterinary medicine on a couple of Michigan's cryptids, an NHL team's namesake, and the most famous goat sucker in the world (there's a "your mother" joke in there somewhere). Listen along, and try not to be too terrified! We mention that there is a video version of this episode here, and there will be in the future. We just have to figure out the best way to go about this. Any AV nerds out there that would be willing to putting together eps for us? A million...
2025-10-071h 02Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsSnook Hook, Line, and StabberOctober is here, there for Spooky Season has begun! The boys dive into this in talking gibberish for an hour, loosely talking about the Snook Hook (or spay hook) inventor, James Howard Snook, who is as well known for his invention, and winning two gold medals in the Olympics, as he is for killing his mistress because it was in Ohio in the late 1920s and nothing else was really going on in that time. Stick with us for the next month as we get into the spooky.
2025-09-3043 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsVM4IBI Presents "Pet Myths 2: The Mythening"The pet myths episode was so popular, we actually had a call to do a sequel, and much like every sequel, this one is much, much worse. The Idiots talk about the need to dominate your dog, teaching old dogs new tricks, ticks and heart worm prevention, human to animal medicine, and others.
2025-09-231h 08Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMentorship with Dr BThe Idiots are back, baby!!!! They are returning, much to many people's disappointment, and they brought in a great guest. Dr Christien Bolden, influencer, Bayou vet, and mentor savante discusses mentorships, what to look and look out for (and this can apply to any mentorship, not just in the vet world), and finally takes the Angela Basset question seriously. Side note, she has blocked us on the socials, which is slightly discourteous. Anyway, we're glad to be back, we hope you tolerate the episode, and check out Dr. B's links! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBMCTAaeNTHTkKhH_9H11...
2025-09-1638 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMore More Fictional Vet Med with Dr. Dean ScottHowdy and so long! We hate to say it, but season 3 is about to be in the rearview mirror. Wow. 3 Seasons. It's incredibly humbling to have been able to make it this far, so let me start off by speaking for both Idiots when I say thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting us then, now, and in the future. As has become a tradition, we like to end or begin seasons with more lighthearted things, and we brought back Dr. Dean Scott for this season closer, and he bookends the season nicely. We talk all...
2025-06-031h 22Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsDoggo SnozzosWelcome back to another riveting episode where the boys inevitably get distracted and go on tangents. However, along the way, the Idiots talk noses. You know, snoots, boopers, snozzes, sniffers, cold wet presses...the list goes on. Learn about some of the super amazing functions of the nose, why they're better with theirs than you'll ever be with yours, and imagine being able to see the world by scent. Also, there were supposed to be some links for references, but you'll have to google that yourself because Cory lost the list and doesn't feel like hearing Kent complain. Again...
2025-05-2741 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMind Altering Powers of ToxoplasmosisCue the freaky deaky theremin music, because this week the Idiots talk toxoplasmosis, an infection that lives in cat poo (and unwashed veggies and undercooked meat) that affects brains. All mammals can be affected, but rats and mice are affected the most. However, humans can also be greatly affected. Listen this week to learn more about this disease, and to find out you may actually already have it.... Anyway, sources https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/toxoplasmosis-cats https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/toxoplasmosis/resources/printresources/catowners_2017.pdf https://www.merckvetmanual.com/ca...

In what many are calling the greatest trilogy of all time, better than the Lort of Da Rings, Star Warz, Goodfadder, and Alans, the Idiots bring their journey to an end. In this, they discuss...

Welcome to part 2. This week the Idiots talk about breeds going extinct, but also dabble in how some could be saved or became other breeds. They discuss what makes a breed a breed, and some...

Part 1 is the discussion of wolves, specifically a breed of wolf that no longer is on this planet, most likely because it assimilated quietly into modern dogs. They talk of how dogs spread throughout the...
2025-04-2941 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsDawwwwww, Look At the Baby Vet with Dr. MaddyThe Idiots have talked about what it's like when you're an established vet, what it's like going through vet school, and what it's like in internships, residencies, and clinicals, but that murky inbetween has not been breached. That's where Dr. Maddy Golichowski (or as Kent says "Gahlowzzskckksheeee") comes in. Dr. Maddy is well into her second year as a practicing vet, which allows her the hindsight of a first year without the distance in time obscuring her view. We talk pros, cons, and difficulties with being green in the field. Listen up, this rookie is going to do great...
2025-04-221h 10Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsIdiots Talk Dog Brain On Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 AmysWe did a crossover thing! The lovely Dr. Amy Pike and Dr Amy Learn were gracious enough to share a show with us. Vet Med For Idiots By Idiots collides with Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys, and the result is wonderful. Lots of laughs, lots of information, much of it to do with simplifying dog behavior, understanding how to interpret their mannerisms and actions, and why some things get confused due to outdated thoughts. Be safe with your pets, and your pets will be safe with you. Also, check out their show. Our episode has been on for a couple...
2025-04-151h 06Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsOncology With Dr. FulkersonIf there is something that we can all agree on wholeheartedly, it's "f*#$ cancer", right? This week, The Idiots bring on The Oncology Idiot, Dr. Christopher Fulkerson, who is at the forefront of cancer research for animals. Join us as we break down why there isn't a simple cure for cancer, the ways we are advancing in medicine, how the research process goes, and why animal research is great for humans, as breakthroughs with the former can jump to the latter. Also, Dr. Kent ALMOST laughs at Cory's joke, so that's exciting.
2025-04-081h 13Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsWhite Coat SyndromeThis week, The Idiots discuss White Coat Syndrome, which is a phenomenon where nerves override the body in anticipation of seeing a doctor. Can be the building, the area, the lobby, the doctor-something just gets ahold of the animals. This can happen to humans, as well. We are lobbying for a new law where pizza and tacos are given free at the doctor, to make it more enjoyable and to relate good with the clinic. We do the same with animals! Anyway, listen in to hear about WCS, how you can help your pets get through it, and the...
2025-04-011h 09Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsAn Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure Or Some Crap Kent SaysHowdy! Do you want to pay a small amount now or a huge amount later? Unless you are a moron, I think I know the answer. That's what this episode is all about. The boys talk preventative medicine, including checks ups, vaccines, and other routine maintainence for your pet. Don't worry, they get distracted, figure out how to work Angela Bassett into the conversation, and get sidetracked talking about sharks. BTW, Cory's 5 favorite sharks all time are the thresher, great white, megalodon, goblin, and stethacanthus.
2025-03-251h 05Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsSelf Care For Mental Health Strength with Amber Johnson, LLMSWIn a season of return guests, another makes a come back. Amber Johnson, Idiot Brain Witch extraordinaire, touches on mental health again, and steps you can do to help keep mental health in check. Be it self care, calming techniques, or just being kind to yourself in general, you matter, and vets have incredibly stressful jobs. Yours might be, too, if your career isn't in the veterinary medicine world. Maybe you're unemployed or a stay at home parent. Mental health, self care, and calming techniques aren't limited to stressful jobs. It's an episode that can speak to anyone. Give...

If this sounds amazing to you, then listen to this episode of the path it takes to become a veterinary technician. Jokes aside, they are the lifeblood of any hospital, and a vital piece to the wellbeing of all pets. Our new favorite guest, the Vet Tech Idiot Beth, discusses the way to get there. A...
2025-03-111h 00Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsWomen of the Vet WorldThe Idiots recognize that it is tough to be a woman in the world, and it can be even more for one in the veterinary world, so they brought back two of their favorite women doctors, Dr. Erin and Dr. Laura, for a chat about what it's like to be the fairer sex. The gang discuss sexism, both obvious and subversive, harrassment, and discuss the surprising reality that while the vet world is majority female, some of the worst attitudes towards women comes from other women. Dr. Erin's socials Tiktok and Insta @sheep.rock.vet
2025-03-041h 14Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsIdiot Pet MythsIf a dog's nose is dry, is it sick? Do cats really steal baby's breath? Listen in for these and other myths your favorite Idiots discuss. The boys talk about why these myths exist, where they came from, and if there is any validity to them. That's it. That's the show description. Also, if you really like this episode, reach out to the Idiots either at their individual socials or at vetmedforidiotsbyidiots@gmail.com and ask about some of your own myths that you have heard about pets over the years.
2025-02-251h 23Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsAn Afternoon With Dr. Dean ScottWelcome back! Season 3 is finally here! We should all be excited! The boys welcome their first quasi-celebrity, Dr. Dean Scott, vet extraordinaire. It addition to being a vet (in both senses, spending 5 years in the US Army Veterinary Corps), he is a multi-genre published author. He is currently working on the third of the "Dragon Vet" Series, with the second, "The Dragon Vet's Apprentice" released in October of 2023. He does not stop at fantasy, though. He has covered just about every genre and style there is. Come sit in on this wonderful afternoon with the equally wonderful...
2025-02-181h 09Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsUnhinged Rambling of Unstable IdiotsAs Season 3 is just a few days away, the Idiots present to you, completely uncut, unedited, unanythinged, many the minis (see what I did there?). This is an absolute rambling, barely coherent, but a peek behind the scenes of how the minis were thrown together. There are moments of random BSing, periods of no talking for pee breaks (both for dogs and Idiots), and other stuff this Idiot does not remember talking about. Enjoy!
2025-02-161h 47Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMini 19 Poisonous, Venomous, and SemanticsThis mini discusses animals that are poisonous or venemous, and some that are both. Also, they argue over when something goes from being venemous to poisonous, or vice verse. Cory usually works his magic to annoy Kent, but he's in fine form in this one.
2025-02-0405 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMini 18 Client/Dogtor RelationshipsWe've touched on this before, but it's a good topic for all to be reminded on. The relationship with a client and vet is very important. Be open, be kind, be honest. Don't be a jerk. Don't try to guilt trip. They're doing the best they can for your pets, and you being a monster is going to only make the animal suffer. These vets are humans. Also, as they are humans, do remember there are established boundaries that must be kept. They may love your pet, your pleasant disposition, your behavior, and your business, but they may not...
2025-01-3119 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMini 17 Embarrassing Moments and Antibiotic StewardshipIn this, Kent discusses some embarrassing moments in hospital rooms and then dives into antibiotics (and other drugs) for pets.

There is so much misinformation, fear, and general confusion right now, and Dr. Erin is setting things straight. Cold hard facts and reality of what is going on, how it will impact prices of eggs, milk, and anything that contains either, and why burying this information is, at best irresponsible, and at worst, critically dangerous.

Please, don't do that. If you consider hurting animals for fun, please seek help.
2025-01-1408 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMini 12 Idiots Vs AnimalsVery simple premise to this episode- what is the largest animal that you think you could take in a fight? Let's be real, humans, we're kind of useless meat sacks compared to most animals out there.

2025-01-0308 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMini 9 Common Idiot Meets Dogtor IdiotNew Year, New Mini. Well, a day late. Doing our second wave of minis, and working more fan requests (still such a weird thing to hear), we regale you on the story of when we met. It's really not that fascinating. Just know that Frank Turner is amazing and that Angela Bassett herself made this happen.
2025-01-0211 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMini 8 NHL Icons and Other Hockey RamblingsMini...kinda. We screwed up. We discussed our favorite hockey players. We're Idiots, but we're also sports nerds, especially when it comes to hockey. It's long, but sorta entertaining in the way we are usually sorta entertaining. But it's still a mini in the sense it's shorter than MOST of our normal episodes.

With the holiday season coming up, we know it is important to have a reminder of what is safe and unsafe for your favorite pooch to eat. Encompassing Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all other feasts from now til the end of the year, it is very common for vet visits to spike after these days due to dogs being exposed to too many different foods. In a first, the Idiots are in person together. As they have always attempted to make this show feel like you are sitting around a dining room table having a drink a...

2024-11-1706 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsIt's All Bull...We've reached the end of season 2, Idiot Army! The Idiots close out the season in a role reversal, with Dr Kent hosting and Cory co-hosting. Cory pitches nontraditional, nonmainstream, and nonscientific medicine to Kent, who shoots them all down. Discussions include antivaxxing, amber beads, and other whack crackadoo stuff. It's a good time. They also do a small mail call, talk about the future, and discuss what NHL players Cory would beat up in a fight. All aside, thank you for two seasons of listening. If you keep spreading the word and listening, we'll keep doing this.
2024-09-101h 45Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsModsThe Idiots discuss dog mods, specifically dewclaws, ear cropping, and tail chopping. If you are a AKC aficionado or a 1700s hunter, you may really want to pay attention. Basically, this is it in the episode. If there was one to skip, it's this one. Normal episodes are terrible, but this one is bad even for the Idiot's standards. Cory the Common Idiot does start with a joke, which is fun. It peaks 13 seconds in.
2024-09-0359 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsResidence Evil With ScrubsHowdy young Idiots! If last week's episode didn't sell you on the easy and gravy career path of a veterinarian with exciting tales of clinicals, this one will really grab you when we talk about resident work with the Resident Doctor Idiots, Dr Rigo and Dr Louie. They discuss the world of internships and residencies, the difference between private practice vs acadamia from a resident standpoint, how to make a bionic frog (we can rebuild him, we can make his stronger, faster, ribbitier), and other fascinating things. Plus, Dr. Kent makes fun of other people than Cory.

2024-08-201h 14Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsPay Dat Bill, Yo!The Idiots discuss paying for veterinary medicine in this week's episode, and why the costs can get to what is perceived as high. Remember, if you don't pay your bill, you're not just scum, they know where you live. Doctors often have a huge degree (no pun intended) of debt they come out of vet school with to keep your pet alive and being the best version of themselves. If you are facing hardships, google is your best friend. There are often clinics and resources in the community that can help with low income families with veterinary care. Some...
2024-08-131h 08Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsMental Health In the Workplace (Veterinary and Otherwise) with Amber Johnson, MSW.Episode 20- Mental Health in the Vet World. The Idiots are joined by Idiot Brainwitch Amber, LLMSW (and a whole lot of other letters) who discusses the importance of boundaries, mental health, and staying safe in your own head. The episode goes a little off the walls, as you would imagine with three neurodivergent people. If you are in the veterinary world, this is a must listen. If you are not, this also is a good listen as burnout and secondhand trauma exists in many careers. We also discuss the importance of boundaries and that veterinarians do not owe...

2024-07-2352 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsWoo Woo Dog Science with Dr. CombsThe Idiots discuss holistic medicine (not the pseudoscience "crystals and burning sage" version, but the whole body mentality) with Dr. Tim Combs, whose resume puts most people to shame. He's certified in basically everything, so he's the Everything Idiot. Discussions in this episode include lasers, acupuncture, rehabilitation, penis jokes, dog massages, and the metal scene. Oh, and Combs is the founder of an emo metal pet clothing company, Disgust Clothing. Apologies, there was something in the recording that caused interference. The sound editor did the best he could do, but The Idiots only pay him nothing. They say it's...
2024-07-161h 07Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsThe Idiot DoggosThe Idiots talk about their dogs, both here today and living immortalized in their minds, in a rather emotional and heartfelt episode.

Join The Idiots in getting in all the feels.

2024-07-021h 24Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsRescue Me with MelindaThe Idiots host Melinda, the Rescue Idiot, who schools the boys on shelter life, rescues, and dives into how these worlds collide. Hear stories from the inside, a dabble into the shady side of shelters, and learn that kill shelters aren't necessarily bad, nor are non-kill shelters inherently good. Editor's note, this episode sucked because Dr. Kent had a pen for the entire show and clicked it nearly 18,000 times in an hour and a half. He is no longer allowed to have a pen.

2024-04-3057 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsThe Worst Day, The Best Love. Compassion with Dr. PennySpecial note from The Idiots- Be advised there is a bit of a trigger warning for this episode. The Idiots stand by this episode and do believe it may be the most important episode we have done. Every dog owner has one day that is always going to be worse than any others. Any dog owner that has gone through this knows how horrible it is. With this in mind, it's very difficult to make the decision to say goodbye. The Idiots are joined by Dr. Penny, a euthanasia expert, and discuss the ironic piece that the m...

2024-04-161h 14Vet Med For Idiots By IdiotsBrucellosis SproutsDid you know that dogs can get STDs!? Well, now you do. You'll hear about exchanges of fluids from body secretions. It's more entertaining than it sounds. The Idiots also discuss spaying and neutering. They didn't give me much to work with for an episode description. Does anyone even really read these? Anyway, bullet points-dogs can get STDs, the disease can jump species, Bob Barker made neutering gender specific to dogs, Kent doesn't like milk but does love cheese, Cory can't make sense of this. Please keep listening.
2024-04-0947 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsBullies, Bulldogs, and Perfection with Vet Tech RachelThe Idiots have their vet tech pal Rachel on to discuss bulldogs. French, English, and otherwise. They discuss the pros and cons of having bulldogs (expect to spend a whole lot of money, just sayin'). They also cover the world of veterinary technician work, the good, bad, and wormy.

2024-04-0245 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsNo Cat Scratch FeverOn the newest episode, The Idiots discuss US presidents fighting zombies and vampires. Yes, this has nothing to do with the topic, but, if you've been listening this long to these guys, you know how terribly quick they get derailed. They do eventually get on task, and discuss declawing cats. They dive into how it is done, if there is a good time to declaw, and alternatives. Also, Dr Kent gets a little deep and introspective, which is rare. Scary even. Enjoy!

Also, they teach you that oxygen is paramount to living! They also shamelessly plug our new treats often, but they're proud of them! They are good, I'll admit. My dog told me.
2024-03-1232 minVet Med For Idiots By IdiotsRabies Colada, Hold the LymeAnother episode, another double dose of why you need to vaccinate your dogs, or they'll end up like Edgar Allan Poe. Or something. I don't know. As editor of this, I casually listen to the stuff Cory and Dr. Cory or whatever his name is talk about. But seriously, vaccinate your dogs against rabies and Lyme. They're very, very dangerous. Quoth the Idiots, nevermore!
