On September 12, 2020, Dr. Susan and I will doing a ‘live’ podcast at the Hill’s Global Virtual Vet Students Day. We will then later publish this podcast for you all to listen too. We are the last speakers at 6pm GMT+2 time. We are so excited and we will be talking 🐈 cats (what else), COVID, and cutting (surgery).
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has swept around the globe, devastating people’s lives and the economies of many countries. Veterinarians have a key role to play as we have many excellent researchers into coronaviruses in animal species, including our guest for episodes 57 & 58, Dr. Severine Tasker. Susan and Jolle are certainly practicing physical distancing as they recorded this episode almost 2,000 (over 1200 miles) km apart! We discuss the emerging information about cats and SARS-CoV-2 and what everyone needs to know. The good news is that cats are not particularly susceptible to this virus, they don’t seem to suffer severe disease, and they are no risk to people.

Dr. Justine Lee is someone we find simply amazing. Many of you know her as the CEO and one of the founders of VETgirl (with Dr. Garret Pachtinger), an innovative online veterinary continuing education resource. She’s also double-boarded in Emergency and Critical Care and Toxicology. As if that’s not enough, she is also a well-known speaker, author, and TV personality. Oh, and she’s a mom too. In part one of our chat with Justine, we find out how she met Jolle at a circus in Moscow. She tells us about the top 5 feline emergencies and how vodka is useful in the ER (but not to make cocktails!).
What fun to have the ‘other’ Dr. Susan Little with us in episodes 32 & 33! We learned all the ways the two Susans have been mistaken for each other and how you can tell them apart. Our guest Susan Little is the Regents Professor and the Krull-Ewing Professor in Veterinary Parasitology at the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences at Oklahoma State University. Her research interests include zoonotic parasites and tick-borne diseases. We not only learned about feline parasites, but did you know roundworm eggs can survive a nuclear blast? And that even dinosaurs had ticks?
Urine luck! We have two episodes with Joe Bartges, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, DACVN of the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia. Joe says urine is liquid gold – discuss! We chat about idiopathic cystitis, a frustrating disease that most vets know all too well. We also manage to talk about chronic gastrointestinal disease, diabetes mellitus, bladder and kidney stones, and even more importantly – Who is the world’s most cunning cat? Why won’t Jolle eat octopus? Tune in and find out – are cats aliens or gods?
