Join us for an insightful conversation with Dr. Amy and Dr. Nicole from Lap of Love, as they share their career journey and passion for veterinary hospice and in-home euthanasia. Delving into topics such as effective communication, collaboration with veterinary professionals, challenges faced, and staying updated on advancements, they offer invaluable insights into providing comprehensive end-of-life care for pets. Learn about the role of pain management, tailoring approaches to individual pets' needs, ensuring a peaceful euthanasia process, and supporting pet owners through the grieving process. Discover the rewarding aspects of their work and the joy it brings amidst the emotional challenges. Dr. Amy Adoryan grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and although I am a city girl, I loved growing up near a Great Lake and enjoy driving out to the country to experience nature and the outdoors. Fortunately, Ohio offers both! I was always in tune with my childhood pets and was the first to notice if they needed medical attention. However, I did not decide to become a veterinarian until I attended college at Cleveland State University. After obtaining my veterinary degree from Ohio State University, I joined a small animal general medicine practice in Cleveland. I am passionate about wellness and preventive care, and high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter (HQHVSN) services. I have realized, however, that one of my favorite parts of veterinary medicine is the ability to give pets a peaceful passing. This is the aspect clients most appreciate, and I find most rewarding. Dr. Nicole Santabarbara received her veterinary degree from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She started her career in general practice but soon found her calling in veterinary hospice and end-of-life care. She was the first veterinarian to establish the Cleveland market for Lap of Love and has been passionately providing these services to her community for the last 3 years. She is currently working towards the Veterinary Hospice and Euthanasia Practitioner certification through Lap of Love and the Peaceful Euthanasia Certification through CAETA (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy). She finds great fulfillment in helping pets stay comfortable in the last stage of life, as well as helping families give their fur babies the peaceful send-off they deserve.`` When she isn’t working, she enjoys biking in the Metroparks with her boyfriend, trying new restaurants, and snuggling with her dog, Reggie, and cat, Olive.

In honor of Animal Pain Awareness Month, join host, RVT, VTS (behavior), certified cat behavior consultant, and Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, Tabitha Kucera, as she explores the often unnoticed world of pain in our animal companions. Pain is a vital sign that deserves our attention, just like temperature, pulse, and respiration. We'll discuss why pain assessment should be routine for every animal, every time.

Learn how behavior can be a powerful indicator of pain, including changes in normal behaviors and the development of new ones. But it's not enough to identify pain; we'll also explore how animal professionals can help caregivers recognize and advocate for their pets. Together, we can ensure that every animal's pain is acknowledged and addressed, enhancing their well-being and the human-animal bond.

Teambuilding is crucial to a successful veterinary practice. Each member of the veterinary healthcare team plays an important role that is critical to the overall success of the team and, subsequently, to the overall wellness of the patient and the success of the hospital. The difference between an engaged workplace and a dysfunctional one is teamwork. On this week’s episode, Tabitha talks to Aaron about teambuilding best practices in vet med. Aarons drops some wisdom on how veterinary hospitals can recruit and retain with compassion and stability, how to train practice leaders for success, and how independent practices can compete in the current atmosphere. Aaron Davis began his vet med journey 22 years ago at the age of 14 working as a kennel tech after school. From there he went on to spend 12 years in emergency/critical care medicine as a vet assistant, and later onto managing spec/er and GP hospitals and practices. Aaron is a vocal advocate for compassionate patient care, inclusive leadership, expanding access to care, and creating stable and long-term opportunities for clinical staff. Aaron was born and raised in Texas but currently lives in NYC with his rescue dog, Coquito, his foundling cat, Agatha, and his guinea pig, Chickpea. Aaron and his partner enjoy cooking fancy meals, going on hikes, gaming, traveling, and watching Schitt’s Creek.

You Don't Lose Cool Points for Compassion featuring Sterling 'Trapkin' Davis 52:58

منذ 2 years52:58

52:58

On this week's episode, Tabitha talks to “The Trap King”, Sterling Davis, about, how randomly volunteering at a shelter to kill some time while he was on tour resulted into him leaving his rap career to follow his new passion of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and cats. We talk about what led him to starting his own non-profit, Trapking Humane Cat Solutions, some of the challenges he has faced including the lack of diversity in animal welfare, and how he uses his entertainment background to spread the word of TNR. Sterling "TrapKing" Davis is a well-traveled, ex-military, music, and cat enthusiast who has always loved entertaining and interacting with people. Since childhood, he was also the only guy in his neighborhood that loved cats. One day, while taking a break from the rap group he was performing with, Sterling saw a posting for a job cleaning litter boxes at his local shelter. He needed something to do to pass the time so he applied for the job. He started cleaning litter boxes and loved working with cats so much, he was promoted to an outreach position where he could focus on trap-neuter-return (TNR), the only way to humanely control cat overpopulation. It was at that point he decided to give up his successful music career and focus on his passion for cats. In 2017, he started his own nonprofite, Trapking Humane Cat Solutions, where he focuses on educating, assisting, and doing TNR and community cat management. Davis' mission is to change the stereotypes of not only men in cat rescue, but also bridge the gap in communication between black communities and predominantly white animal welfare orginizations. He lives and breathes his motto, "You don't lose cool points for compassion" Today Davis is a sought-after speaker all over the world, speaking at events like Cat Con, Cat Camp, Meow DC , and fundraising events for small rescues and shelters across the United States. Sterling hopes to one day travel the country in a recreational vehicle, teaching animal advocates in communities of all sizes how to care for their community cats.

We call it practicing veterinary medicine because we are always improving. The use of inhalant chambers has been around for a long time, and some believe that this technique is safer for the staff and the animal, however, we now know so much more about the physiological and psychological risks this technique poses to both animals and humans along with alternatives. This week, Tabitha is joined by Tasha McNerney, BS, CVT, VTS to discuss why we should ban the box. We will discuss the risks of using this technique with both humans and animals, safer and stress-reducing alternatives, and how to help advocate for this change. Tasha McNerney, BS, CVT, VTS Tasha is a Certified Veterinary Technician form Glenside, PA. She is also a Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner and works closely with the IVAPM to educate the public about animal pain awareness.

Accepting Criticism: A Life Skill featuring Yona Rappaport (CPDT-KA, KPA-CTP) 1:05:32

منذ 3 years1:05:32

Collaboration. It's a key part of being an ethical dog trainer, veterinary, shelter, or daycare worker. One of the best ways to uphold this standard is to seek help and advice from those who have more experience and education than us. This is where receiving criticism comes in. It can be difficult and this week, I will be discussing the importance of taking criticism and why it is a life skill with Yona Rapport. “As a community growing each year, it’s important that we all uphold similar standards of practice. There is a balance to be had between rigid but flexible, steadfast but open to improvement, respecting the ‘experts’ but always thinking critically so that we never find ourselves blindly following this guru or that. We cannot let perfection be the enemy of the good; almost all progress graphs have hills and valleys from day to day. Learning is messy because humans are messy. Our job is to seek people who help us to zoom out on that graph and verify the steady up-trend of progress over time.” – Yona Rapport Yona Rappaport, CPDT-KA, KPA-CTP Yona is the owner and operator of Science at Play Dog Training, Behavior and Gear, Health Department Behavior Technician at Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA, social media manager for Humane Dog Training Advocates and Shelter Playgroup Alliance volunteer. She is passionate about learning and sharing her knowledge of effective, ethical, evidence-based training with clients and their dogs. Science at Play leashes focus on the right item for the individual with many options to achieve the lightest line possible. In addition to standard leashes for pet parents, she also designs and tests specialty equipment for use in a number of settings such as shelter specific leashes made to reduce stress on dogs and increase safety for handlers in a kennel setting.

This week, I welcome Melody Martinez to discuss career paths for veterinary professionals. We talk about what being a veterinary technician has taught us and how we have used what we have learned to find and follow our passion to create opportunities and strengthen our field. We have unlimited opportunities as veterinary technicians. As Melody said “No one should feel the job that they have is the only thing that there is because it isn’t, our job trains us to do everything” Melody Martínez is Certified Veterinary Technician and the first generation daughter of Afro-Caribbean, working-class immigrants from the Dominican Republic. She grew up in Massachusetts and began her veterinary career in 2007. Melody has worked in small animal general practice, emergency and critical care, and as a Senior Animal Caregiver at Farm Sanctuary, where she oversaw the medical care and husbandry needs of 800 rescued farmed animal residents at their New York shelter. In 2015, she pivoted to a career in nonprofit management, community organizing, and fundraising with organizations dedicated to racial and economic justice. Melody currently works as a racial equity and organizational change management consultant at Acorde Consulting. She provides organizations with trainings, assessments, and executive coaching to advance their diversity, racial equity, and inclusion efforts. She helps teams address conflict and create the healthier internal climate that is necessary for truly powerful work to take place. As a result, she has supported dozens of mission-driven organizations in making meaningful shifts to workplace culture and in becoming more values-aligned. Melody continues her work in veterinary medicine as a relief technician. She volunteers regularly by mentoring K-12 students interested in veterinary medicine, and by providing medical support at animal sanctuaries and organizations that increase access to veterinary care for people experiencing poverty or homelessness with animals. She serves on the board of the Multicultural Veterinary Medical Association (MCVMA) as the Chair of the Social Justice Committee.

Cooperative Care: Consent, Choice, and Practical Application featuring Jessica Benoit (RVT, VTS, CPDT, KPA CTP) 57:18

منذ 3 years57:18

57:18

This week, Jessica Benoit joins Tabitha to discuss cooperative care. Cooperative care involves training an animal to not only tolerate handling and husbandry procedures, but to be an active, willing participant in these experiences. The animal either gives consent by performing a behavior or is easily distracted by food during a veterinary procedure. Many animals feel fear, anxiety, and stress at their veterinary visits and with husbandry procedures. Cooperative care techniques provide animals with some choice and control which decreases fear, reduces stress, and increase comfort for the animal. Cooperative care gives the animal a voice and a choice and a way to say, “no, not right now” or “I’m not comfortable”. Empowered choice of the animal met with respectful actions of the handler builds the animals trust in the handler and in the care process itself. By having your animal become a willing participant of their own care, their confidence will increase, thus increasing their tolerance of future handling and veterinary care. Jessica and I discuss what is cooperative care, benefits of cooperative care, applications of cooperative care in the veterinary setting, and more! Also, keep an eye out for future cooperative care online and in-person events from Jessica (CVC Animal Training) and I (Chirrups and Chatter) About our guest: Jessica graduated from the NAIT Animal Health Technology program in 2010. She is a Registered Veterinary Technologist and the co-owner of Companion Veterinary Clinic, a Fear Free Certified Practice in Alberta, Canada. She is a Veterinary Technician Specialist in Behaviour, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner. Jessica is also a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, trainer, and speaker. Jessica developed the training and behaviour program at Companion Veterinary Clinic in 2013, developing curricula for dog training classes, kitten classes, trick training, and offering private training and behaviour modification sessions. Jessica enjoys educating and sharing her knowledge through speaking engagements which include Doggone Safe presentations for children, guest lecturing for post-secondary institutions, providing client education seminars as well as continuing education events for veterinary professionals. In addition, she provides mentorship for veterinary technologists and trainers interested in animal behaviour. In her spare time, she loves reading and being outdoors with her husband and two children, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 13 chickens!

Shelter Enrichment and Playgroups - Featuring Mara Velez (MA, CPDT-KA) 56:15

منذ 3 years56:15

This week, Mara Velez of Shelter Playgroup Alliance joins Tabitha to discuss enrichment for shelter dogs. Enrichment is a need for all shelter animals. Animals have natural behaviors and needs, and they must have opportunities to express those behaviors. Enrichment provides needed mental and physical stimulation, improves quality of life, decreases stress, decreases unwanted behaviors, and length of stay. It helps to increase adoptions, provide choices, can manage, and prevent behavior problems, and keeps animals in their new homes. Mara and I discuss the importance of enrichment, the struggles we have seen due to animals having inappropriate or no enrichment, what appropriate enrichment is, and more! About our guest : Mara Velez, MA, CPDT-KA , is the Executive Director of two non-profits: the Shelter Playgroup Alliance and Humane Dog Training Advocates. She is also a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. Mara has been working in the shelter setting for almost 15 years. Mara was a behavior and training consultant at Contra Costa Animal Services where she collaboratively designed, developed, and implemented behavior program structures, including a robust volunteer training program, revised behavior evaluation, canine enrichment and playgroup guidelines. It was these guidelines that served as the basis for the Shelter Playgroup Alliance guidelines. Mara holds both a bachelors and master’s degree in psychology and completed all of the course work for a doctorate in education. In addition to completing several animal behavior and training-related programs, Mara continually develops her skills and knowledge of canines by attending seminars and reading science-based canine literature. To date, she has completed over 3,000 hours of continuing education. Mara also enjoys training other species because it expands her training and observation skills. She has worked with: cats, bunnies, wolves, foxes, guinea pigs, coyotes, buffalo, donkeys, goats, alpacas, chickens, birds, and fish.

Where did all the Vet Techs Go? Featuring April Bays (CVT, VTS(ECC), VCC) 1:06:03

منذ 3 years1:06:03

Vet Techs leaving the field isn’t a new issue, although the pandemic has brought more awareness to it. There are various reasons why veterinary technicians are leaving the field including not being utilized, being underpaid, no room to grow, and more! This week Tabitha talks to April Bays about why technicians are leaving and how we can help them succeed and thrive. We also share our stories of leaving general practice to start our own businesses. About our guest : April Bays CVT, VTS (ECC), VCC - April became a Certified Veterinary Technician in 2007 while discovering her love for emergency and critical care medicine. Having found her passion, April pursued her Veterinary Technician Specialty and earned her VTS in Emergency and Critical Care in 2013. She ultimately became the head technician at her practice, where the massive challenge of meeting the needs of staff, as they meet the needs of the patients, came into focus. April believes that technician education and training have been overlooked while the profession has grown exponentially. In her leadership role, April recognized the dire need for putting knowledge into action and shifting the paradigm from accepting “the way we’ve always done things” to validating by empowering the powerhouse of the clinic: veterinary technicians. Progress demanded a structured training program, and after many years she developed the Veterinary Technician and Assistant Clinical Development Program. In 2020, April created Elevative Veterinary Training Solutions in order to focus full-time on technician development and training, and to provide practical, hands-on guidance to practices which are implementing her Program. April has written for journals, blogs, and co-authored a chapter in the Veterinary Technician’s Manual for Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care. She continues to lecture for conferences - including the prestigious International Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Symposium - on emergency topics and the art of critical care and critical thinking. Her areas of interest include metabolic, endocrine, and respiratory emergencies. She also lectures on topics related to veterinary cannabis medicine and became a Veterinary Cannabis Counselor in 2021. Pain management is of particular interest to April, and she was the recipient of the 2022 IVAPM (International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management) Pain Management Advocacy Award. When she’s not eliminating pain, training veterinary professionals, or writing proceedings, you can find her supporting the many local breweries in Oregon, backpacking, and getting lost in the wilderness.
