In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we dive into what we currently know about post-arrest care and survival following veterinary CPR. It’s hard to believe it’s been over a decade since the RECOVER Initiative brought us the first, standardized, evidence-based veterinary CPR guidelines. Many of us have probably experienced the adrenaline - and relief! - of successfully resuscitating a patient, thanks in large part to those protocols and routine team training. Tune in to find out what comes after ROSC!

In this VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we chat with Jenessa A. Winston, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM), Associate Professor of Small Animal Medicine at the Ohio State University about the importance of microbiome for and beyond, gut health. What is the microbiome, and what type of gastrointestinal (GI) microorganisms are we talking about? How does GI microbiome apply to us in clinical daily practice? What role does the GI microbiome play with acute hemorrhagic diarrheal syndrome to chronic enteropathy to parvovirus, and does fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) help too? Tune in to learn about how you can support microbiome and the whole patient's health!

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we interview Dr. Nick Jeffery, BVSc, PhD, MSc, DECVS, DECVN, Professor in Neurology and Neurosurgery from Texas A&M on a recent study by Freeman et al entitled “Percutaneous enzymatic chemonucleolysis of intervertebral disks appears safe and effective in treatment of acute-onset paraparesis and paraplegia in small dogs,” published in JAVMA in March 2025. Can the use of intradiscal chondroitinase ABC (often called "CHASE") injections under fluoroscopic-guidance work as a safe, minimally invasive option for small dogs with acute nonambulatory paraparesis or paraplegia, especially when deep pain perception is intact? If you're a general practitioner who sees a lot of down dogs—and especially if you practice in a Dachshund-heavy region—you’ll definitely want to tune in.
