here’s an old saying in medicine that, “Death and Illness Follow the Seasons.” Give this podcast a listen if you agree! In this week’s conversation, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT discuss how veterinary professionals can cope with seasonal surges in pet euthanasia and loss. The pair share stories from their practice lives, offer advice on shifting from “Silly Sweater Mode” to “Terminal Illness Expert,” and how to help colleagues struggling with the strains and stress of euthanasia during the holidays. We believe the veterinary profession needs more authentic conversations like this on tough topics we all confront.

Viewfinders, please forgive Dr. Ernie’s audio today; he was in a busy airport terminal making his way home! And while you’re in the holiday spirit, PLEASE leave us an iTunes review! That’s all we’re asking for! Thank you, Viewfinder Family!!
