    The Cat Conundrum: Unveiling Health Clues in Feline Behavior

    Veterinary practitioners know that a host of diseases and medical issues, including osteoarthritis or polyphagia, might be the cause of behavioral changes in feline patients, but is there a surefire way to determine whether a cat’s behavior is due to a medical or behavioral cause? There isn’t, but starting with client communication and asking the right questions about the patient’s behavioral history can help you understand what our enigmatic feline patients are trying to tell us. in this VetFolio Voice podcast episode, Dr. Cassi chats with veterinary behaviorist Dr. Chris Pachel about certain behaviors cats exhibit that are perceived by owners as behavioral issues, when they are instead indicative of an underlying medical problem (for example, a cat who is polyphagic digging through the trash or a cat urinating outside the litterbox due to pain from OA or from being declawed).

    From Clinic to Car: Guiding Clients on Pet Travel Safety

    Treating pets injured in car accidents can be traumatic for your team. But just like human passengers, pets are at risk of serious injury—or worse, death—by collision or when an airbag deploys. In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, Dr. Cassi chats with Dr. Elisa Mazzaferro, a critical care clinician, about the types of injuries Dr. Mazzaferro has seen from unrestrained animals in cars, as well as the risk that is posed to human safety. Riding with pets not safely restrained in the car poses a risk to both the pet and the human driver and passengers. There is also the potential for negatively impacting vehicles that are sharing the roadway with you. They explore different restraint devices and how to communicate risks and car safety principles to pet owners. You’ll learn about resources for veterinary professionals treating pets with these injuries and how to communicate with clients or first responders who are calling about a pet injured in an accident.
