Episode notes

We learned that becoming a veterinarian is super competitive, but duable. Sometimes your exotic pet might need a 20 dollar light to fend off metabolic bone disease. Protecting the environment of wild critters is the best thing we can do to help them. Low protein foods can help extend the life of our pets kidneys. And green beans might be a suitable treat for your dogo. To learn more about doctor bernard hodges and doctor terence ferguson, you can check the links in the show notes.

At long last: an episode dedicated to veterinary medicine! Dr. Terrence Ferguson & Dr. Vernard Hodges have been friends for nearly 30 years and have co-owned their rural Georgia veterinary clinic, Critter Fixers, for over 20 years. The two wonderful buddies talk about getting accepted into vet school, caring for spiders & camels & lizards & toads & kittens & doggos, the weirdest things they’ve extracted from animal tummies, if our pets love us back, keeping kidneys healthy, grain-free diets, what to do if your (Alie’s) dog is plumping up by a few pounds, what they wish animal owners knew, when it’s time to let go vs. keep treating a pet, the daily rollercoaster of emotions that come with vet med -- and their charming, informative new show “Critter Fixers: Country Vets” on NatGeo Wild.
