Back Alley Drug Dealing

Join the Amys and their distinguished guest, Julia Albright, DVM, MA, DACVB, and Associate Professor of Veterinary Behavior at University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, as they venture into the dark, dirty, and dangerous back alleys of illicit drug dealing. The unregulated training industry has left the door wide open for unqualified imposters, posing as experts, to deceive pet parents and veterinarians alike. These shady charlatans falsify their education history and credentials, and grant themselves carte blanche to not only make drug recommendations to unsuspecting pet parents, but actually convince veterinary practitioners to prescribe specific psychotropic medications.
Who really has the power to recommend and prescribe medication? How can pet parents and practitioners protect themselves from these unethical and illegal predators? How do the actual experts feel about these dangerous deceptors? Grab a cocktail, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz during episode 5 of the Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast. Caveat emptor!Resources:

Hunger Games - May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

Join the Amys and their cat-tastic guest, Tabitha Kucera, RVT, KPA-CPT, CCBC, VTS (behavior), and owner of Chirrups and Chatter Behavior Consulting and Training in Cleveland, Ohio, as they pounce, feet first (am I righting?), into the dynamics of cat behavior and intercat aggression.
Misconceptions, myths, and generalizations about cat behavior have resulted in misleading and harmful labels that leave kitties in the dark when it comes to standards for behavioral wellness, quality of life, and cooperative care. And, when the dynamics of a multicat environment echo a blockbuster battle - a fight to the death until there is only one survivor - cat guardians are led astray and left to contemplate solutions that aren't typically supported by modern science.
The time is meow to set the record straight and get down to the WTF? (it doesn't mean what you think it means) of cat behavior and aggression. Are cats actually aloof creatures that merely tolerate our presence, and manipulate our minds? Or, has society contributed to our perception of cats and their behavior? Does the language we use to describe cat behavior in professional settings impact perceptions, expectations, and outcomes of treatment? How does pain, choice, motivation, and enrichment factor into behavioral wellness? Grab a glass of catbernet, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz during episode 7 of the Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast. May the odds be ever in your favor.
