"I can do it on my own." Yes, you can.

But how does it feel?

Are you able to walk away with total confidence that you did everything you could for that case?

Do you sometimes feel unsettled after a bumpy client conversation?

Do you wonder where to go to get the information you need to be sure you're totally up to date?

Would you feel more comfortable asking questions and discussing these things with someone outside of your practice?

If you said yes to any of these questions, I encourage you to get the support you need at DrMeredythJones.com

Thank you, North American Camel Ranch Owners Association for traveling to our veterinary schools with camels to help us teach our students basic camel handling and medicine. They do this on donated time and at no charge to us. The students love it and I got to hang out with my friends Valeri Crenshaw and Doug Baum! Animal owners who put their money where their mouth is to help us train students rather than complaining that no one will work on their animals are the bees knees! 🐝 🦵 🐪🐫

YOU asked: “Is it possible to differentiate intravascular hemolysis from extravascular hemolysis? How?” Yes! The easiest way is to look at the urine - extravascular hemolysis (like with anaplasmosis) does NOT cause red urine, while intravascular hemolysis (like Babesia, lepto, copper tox) does cause red urine that, when spun down, stays red from the hemoglobin. 🩸

It's hedgeapple season! I watched my own bull pick one up and drop it a couple of days ago. These things can cause choke that can be difficult to resolve.

Check out the endoscopic image of a hedgeapple choke - we were able to float some pieces up and grab them and push the rest down with the tube. Always very satisfying!
