Show notes

Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! In the breakroom, Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Katie Berlin, DVM, will be discussing the important, relevant topics affecting veterinarians today.

Dr. Katie and Dr. Alyssa talk about some of the proposed solutions to these issues from the article and discuss how their own experiences in the clinic during COVID affect their reactions to these ideas. Grab a beverage and join us in the breakroom!

In this episode, host Katie Berlin, DVM, talks with Brittany Lancellotti, DVM, DACVD, about the intersection of dermatology and behavior and how more relaxed dermatology visits usually lead to better care. Dermatology often requires a thorough examination and cytology of sensitive areas, followed traditionally by topical treatments at home when pets are already uncomfortable. Dr. Lancellotti offers advice on how to keep pets as comfortable as possible before, during, and after these visits, including how to keep visits low-stress and work with pets at home.
