Drat & Drake Veterinary Podcast

Feline Frontiers: Fascinating Feline Focused Facts w/ Nicole Martell-Moran, DVM DABVP

Today's episode teaches us a lot more about feline medicine and the specialty behind it.  D&D were lucky enough to speak with Dr. Martell-Moran DABVP who gives us a really insightful look on the process of becoming boarded, her long and rewarding path in veterinary medicine, and also who she is as a human being.  This is our first episode where we interview someone out of our personal circle of friends - we can't thank her enough for being the first to dive in and chat with us!  #COCO Dr. Martell-Moran's links: Tiktok @cat.a.moran Instagram @nkmmoran LinkedIn @nicolemartellmorandabvpfeline

Holistic Vet Med & Social Media with Dr. Kat Van Zant

WebThis episode of D&D - well just Drat - we interview a fellow RUSVM alumni, Dr. Kat Van Zant.  She shares a lot of insight on Holistic, Eastern veterinary medicine, particularly the process of acquiring this certification, as well as how holistic vets may practice. Think of it, and I quote 'Western medicine is putting out the fire, Eastern medicine is preventing it.'  Dr. KVZ also shares her experience with self-promotion, particularly on social media - it's pros and cons - the trials and tribulations of putting yourself out there for the world to view, love, and unfortunately scrutinize.  You can follow Dr. Van Zant on all social media platforms, or sign up for her newsletter on her website below! website: https://www.zenpethealth.com/ [https://www.zenpethealth.com/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katvanzantofficial/ [https://www.instagram.com/katvanzantofficial/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katvanzant [https://www.tiktok.com/@katvanzant]

D&D - Noal Lawshe, CVT of 34 Years!

Drat & Drake hang out with Noal as he shares his years of experience in the vet field. Noal ranks his favorite specialties, discusses the incredible evolution of veterinary medicine, and gives us veterinarians a better scope of a life of a technician.  Bonus: did you know it's illegal to call a veterinarian technician a 'nurse'? (but we still want to do it)

Next Level: Extracorporeal Therapies with Dr. Johnson (aka Plant Daddy)

Another new Drat & Drake segment we're calling 'Next Level'. As I discussed before, we try not to have any particular medical jargon for a number of reasons, but when we get the opportunity for some really cool studies with a good friend we can't help but learn some tidbits on niche treatments. Let's learn a few things about dialysis! Dr. Tyler Johnson discusses some applications, obstacles, and limitations to extracorporeal therapies (try saying that 5 times in a row).  At the same time, we discuss a little more about relationships and plants!

Vet Exchange: Artist's Angle with Kirsten Winkelbauer

D&D has a new segment called Vet Exchange, where we chat with people outside of our veterinary field to get a glimpse of what their life is like. AND THEN WE SWITCH! The interviewee becomes the interviewer.  We had a lot of fun talking to my old high school colleague, Kirsten Winkelbauer. She is a freelance illustrator and designer who gave us a slight view into the world of an artist.  We talk about art school, advertisement, your brand, and of course we need to mention AI!  Kirsten then switches roles and asks us some insightful things about our veterinary career.  Check out her store and Instagram! https://www.winklebeebee.com/ [https://www.winklebeebee.com/] https://www.instagram.com/winklebeebee [https://www.instagram.com/winklebeebee] https://www.tiktok.com/@winklebeebee [https://www.tiktok.com/@winklebeebee]
