The Vets Unleashed

Not every vet visit is sunshine and rainbows.  Sometimes we get overloaded with options for treatment and don't know what the right decision is.  Sometimes our pets lose complete bodily function all over the room.  Very different experiences, and yet both very stressful in their own way.  Thankfully there are a couple of Vets who know how to maneuver these sticky situations.
Tune in this week as Dr. Scott and Dr. Mike tackle some more listener mail, of Vet Visits Gone Wrong.
 
This week's drink:
 
The Waiting Room-
Vodka (or why not Malibu Rum!)
Blue Curacao
Lime
A few drops of Grenadine
¼ oz. Simple Syrup
Club Soda
 
Serve on ice, or not.

This week we're answering listener mail and providing moral guidance on what to do in some dicey situations.  What do you do when you see someone mistreating their animal? How do you handle difficult neighbors when a pet is involved?  What steps should you take in the work environment if you suspect someone is diverting medication?
 
If you need help: 
 Call or text 988 in the US, 
 or call The National Addiction Helpline (844) 289-0879
 
Not every situation has a clear answer, but years of experience has exposed the Vets to these issues on more than one occasion.  Luckily, we have some answers to help guide listeners through these ethical quandaries.
 
This Week's Drink:
 
The Moral Compass-
 
Grenadine
Vodka
Blue Curacao
A splash of lime juice

We're getting into the first of our listener mail segments, and it's the usual drugs and sex content you come here for week after week. What's the appropriate level of embarrassment to feel after your vet surgically removes a sex toy out of your dog?  If my dog starts acting funny after our walk through Portland, what are the signs for ingesting marijuana vs. methadone vs. methamphetamine?  Does my dog lead a double life as a rock star with all these sex toys and drugs they're ingesting? How can I lead a life more like my dog?
 
You can get the answer to all these questions and more, this season on The Vets Unleashed!
 
This Week's Drink:
 
The Foreign Body
 
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Dark Rum
½ oz Blue Curacao
Simple Syrup (to taste)
Lemon Juice (to taste)
Raspberries (for foreign bodies)

We bring it back old school with the first cocktail (DV(c)M) from Dr. Han's first episode, and sling up some new content with our first listener write-in, asking the big questions.  The future looks bright, so pull up a chair, tune in, and knock one back as we welcome Stephanie to the rank of Doctor!
