    Anything Pawsible Episode 10 The Llama: Our New Best Friends in The Fight Against the Novel Coronavirus

    When it comes to the fight against the novel coronavirus, we need all hands on deck and it turns out there may be some toes on deck as well. An unlikely species is being investigated to see if it could be a vital ally with humans in the fight against COVD-19. Llamas, and other camelids, produce a specialized type of antibodies which are known as nanobodies. Scientists are investigating if those same nanobodies could help prevent the novel coronavirus from entering a host cell. Does this research have real teeth? Does it have potential to work? Dr. Robert Callan - a professor at Colorado State University Livestock Medicine and Surgery Service - not only discusses whether this research has promise, but we also discuss the potential challenges the researchers may face, basics of camelid medicine, why llamas spit, and so many other fun facts about camelids. You're not going to want to miss this conversation. Although it may not usurp a dog's position as man's best friend. It may come pretty close.

    Anything Pawsible Episode 9 What Veterinary Schools Must Do To Survive The Coronavirus Crisis And Why Their Survival is So Important with Dr. Phil Nelson

    What has to be done to help veterinary schools survive the coronavirus crisis and what impact will the pandemic have on veterinary medical education. Will students get the education they desperately need and want? New veterinary graduates are the next generation tasked with protecting and preserving animal and human health. Because their educational experience has been upended, many veterinary schools will have to enact permanent changes. Whether it’s distance learning, resolving basic technical issues, access to learning materials, Internet access, how students can receive and turn in assignments; and how students can be assessed and graded by their professors, there are so many questions to answer about how to educate young veterinary students in the midst of a pandemic. In this conversation, we discuss why it is so vital to nourish the young talent in veterinary schools and how to protect their educational experience.

    Anything Pawsible Episode 8 When Work-Life Balance Loses Its Balance. (And How to Fix It) with Josh Vaisman, Positive Psychology Strategist, CCFP, MAPPCP (PgC)

    Happiness in the workplace. We’re all striving to achieve it and for some of us every day can be a challenge. As caregivers, we naturally prioritize care for others and frequently neglect taking care of ourselves. Our mental health eventually suffers which is one reason why so many veterinarians experience emotional distress in the workplace. That’s why veterinary medicine as a profession is working so hard to better understand how to improve workplace well being. The urgency of the moment is particularly acute with studies indicating that veterinarians are much more likely than non-veterinarians to think about suicide and 2.7 times more likely to attempt it. Learning to spot signs of distress and manage the emotional demands of the job are tremendously important. My conversation with positive psychology strategist, Josh Vaisman is extremely illuminating. He discusses burnout, if work-life balance is real, and how to help cultivate environments in which veterinary professionals can thrive. Whether you’re a veterinary health professional or just want to be happy at your job, this is a conversation you need to hear.
