Vet Med For Idiots By Idiots

The Idiot Army has asked, and the Idiots have sorta answered. Vet school life, what to expect. The good, the bad, and the clinical. This motley group of Dr Idiots join The Original Idiots in giving picture of vet school and clinical year as realistic as possible. It's hard, it's stressful, it's exhausting, and it's worth it.  Dr Erin Erin Masur – Mother Earth News Dr Laura  Veterinary Mentorship,...

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...

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, t...

This weeks episode brings the Doctors Fernandez (@thedoctorsfernandez) who discusses mixed animal clinics, what it takes to work on a kangaroo and an owl, why you should learn to duck faster if you are castrating a bull, and why they are an incredible resource for all the young Pre-Vet Med Idiots out there. Also, Kent and Cory say some stuff, but does anyone really listen when they talk?

In today's episode, The Idiots speak with Melissa Sluiter, parent of the first FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) patient Dr. Kent saw beat the odds and survive. FIP has historically been the kiss of death, and now, with pushes from brave owners like Melissa and Idiot Doctors like Kent, it is both survivable, and 100% legal in the US.  The actions described in this episode might be fictitious in...

The 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 f...

The Idiots talk about their dogs, both here today and living immortalized in their minds, in a rather emotional and heartfelt episode. Brief stories and anecdotes fill an hour and half episode that easily could have been 3 days if The Idiots were allotted the time to give the honor these pets deserve. Gain insight into some of the muttly crew that is often heard in episodes barking, claw tap tap t...

The Idiots host another vet, Dr Erin, who works exclusively with large animals, especially the edible kind. They discuss the common day for the Large Animal Idiot, emergencies, animal dongs, and why you shouldn't let your chickens play with other chickens! This one is a little extra NSFW.

The 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 near...

Your 24th favorite pair of idiots discuss 6 fictional dogs again in a fan favorite topic's return. They discuss mostly large breed dogs, and even the euthanasia of an incredibly large, crimson colored dog with capabilities to destroy an entire town accidentally. Who could that be!?

In the season 1 closer, The Idiots bring on their friend Dr. Justin to discuss the hectic world of trauma and emergency medicine. Learn the best way to know when to walk in vs emergency. They talk about emotions in the office, good times, and bad times. Also, as a reminder-don't be a dick to your vet. New Episodes will be up in a few weeks. Promise. They'd never leave you!

On this week's episode, your favorite Idiots talk bringing home baby with special guest, comedian, cancer survivor, dad, and vocal badass, Adam Degi. The Idiots dive into topics including initial meeting, boundaries, and how to keep your dog from being jealous of the new human puppy.  They explain where babies come from (it involves a broom closet), and they finally have a funny episode due to the...

In this episode, The Idiots discuss FeLV and FIV, which affect cats quite aggressively. They discuss best ways to avoid, prevent, and treat these cats afflictions, known as the lovers and fighters diseases. Along with actual, worthwhile information, find out Dr. Kent's fursona and listen to the show meltdown due to Dr. Kent trying to figure out the difference between Angela Bassett and Anjelica Hu...

Special 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...

Today's episode is actually fun. The Idiots talk about a handful of fictional dogs with a realistic lens, and how Kent would care for these dogs as their primary dogtor. You'll also learn a lot of bonus trivia about the characters, the breeds they're based upon, and behind the scenes of the shows they're from.

Did 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...

The 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. Quick reminder, as well-DO NOT BUY A DOG if you think it is just a status symbol.  

On 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 li...

The Pits. The Idiots discuss pitbulls with their first guest, Brienna, and talk breed specific laws, pitbull ignorance, and myths. She is a lobbyist for BSL, the founder of Outcats and Underdogs (a nonprofit advocating for at risk cats and dogs, including handicapped animals, black cats, and large breed dogs), a pin up, artist, and all around badass. Come listen to our discussion as will take the...

The Idiots discuss Canine Influenza and Kennel Cough in this riveting episode. Learn about how to keep your dogs safe (spoiler, it's cautionary exposure and vaccination) and learn that birds are actually animals, not drones. 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....

Another 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!

Ground Zero. The Genesis. The beginning of something great. Well, that's not hear (see what I did there?). Want to audibly hear growing pains? Look no further! Join in for The Idiots' first episode, diving in the fascinating world of Parvo and Lepto, two nasty ailments that can hurt and kill your favorite family member. Enjoy learning tidbits of urethra information, as well.
