Vet Candy – Veterinary Lifestyle, News & LearningShow Notes
Something is out there. And it has feathers.
Welcome back to All Creatures — the scripted dramatic podcast series from Vet Candy that turns the most urgent issues in veterinary medicine into stories you cannot stop listening to. Episode 2 takes on one of the most critical animal and public health threats facing the veterinary profession right now: avian influenza.
Feathers, Fear, and Flu: Join Us on the Hunt for Mothman.
The elusive Mothman has been spotted. The flu is spreading. And the team is about to discover that the truth about avian influenza is stranger — and more dangerous — than any myth. All Creatures Episode 2 pulls you into a world of suspense, science, and zoonotic disease, where the stakes are real even when the story is fiction.
Based on a short story by Dr. Jill Lopez and voiced by professional actors Clay and Caitlin Palmer, this episode brings together an extraordinary team of real experts woven into the narrative — epidemiologist Dr. Patrick Carney from Cornell University, veterinary pathologist Dr. Aleksandra Zuraw, practice manager Quisha Brown, and veterinary technician Keyana Beamon. The result is a listening experience that is as scientifically grounded as it is genuinely thrilling.
🎙️ What makes this episode stand out: A fully scripted dramatic story with professional actors, immersive music, and rich sound design Real expert insights from an epidemiologist, a veterinary pathologist, a practice manager, and a veterinary technician A zoonotic disease narrative that is as relevant as today's headlines A reminder that in veterinary medicine, collaboration is not optional — it is everything
🔥 What you will learn in this episode: What avian influenza is, how it spreads, and why it matters for veterinary professionals The zoonotic implications of avian flu and what that means for your practice and your clients How to recognize, respond to, and communicate about avian influenza in a clinical setting Why interdisciplinary teamwork is the most powerful tool veterinary medicine has when facing a disease outbreak The real science behind one of today's most urgent animal and public health threats — told through a story you will not forget
Whether you are a veterinarian trying to stay ahead of emerging disease, a veterinary technician who wants to understand the zoonotic landscape better, a practice manager thinking about outbreak preparedness, or simply someone who loves a good story with real stakes, Episode 2 of All Creatures delivers education, entertainment, and genuine clinical relevance in a single listen.

Our fifth host is finally here! Meet Emese Avdeyenkova, a first-year veterinary student at Rowan University, former U.S. Army officer, and mom to a one-year-old, as she shares how she's balancing vet school, parenting, and a brand-new career path.
Summer is officially over, and JC, Jeremiah, Jess, and Kennedi are here with stories, questionable life choices, and the reality check that comes with another year of vet school. Kennedi is fresh off an externship in Miami - literally, she just landed back in Indiana- and still mourning the beach, while the crew catches up on summer adventures and what they are looking forward to this year. Then things get real. They talk about food insecurity in veterinary school, what it actually looks like, why so many students quietly struggle with it, and where to find help when money gets tight. Because surviving vet school is hard enough without wondering where your next meal is coming from.
cat that suddenly started walking on its tiptoes leaves everyone scratching their heads. In this episode of Medical Mysteries with Dr. Courtney, Dr. Courtney Campbell joins veterinary surgeon Dr. Rebecca Webb to unravel a baffling feline case.

What does it take to bring one of veterinary medicine’s most iconic conferences to Music City for the very first time? On this episode of Living Well with Dr. Jessica Turner, Dr. Jessica sits down with Andrea Davis, CEO of Viticus Group, the organization behind the legendary WVC veterinary conferences, for a behind-the-scenes look at WVC Nashville and the people, planning, and big ideas bringing this nearly 100-year-old veterinary tradition to Nashville. Andrea shares what goes into creating a conference veterinarians genuinely don’t want to miss, from hundreds of hours of continuing education and hands-on learning to KNACK Tracks, incredible speakers, live music, networking, and unforgettable events. WVC Nashville is taking everything veterinarians love about WVC and mixing in a serious dose of Music City energy. But this conversation goes well beyond the conference. Jessica and Andrea talk candidly about leadership, ambition, family, and what it means to build a career at the highest levels of veterinary medicine. Andrea shares her perspective on leading as a female CEO in an industry where women dominate the profession but remain far less represented in its top executive roles. They also talk about something many working parents understand all too well: how to pursue a big career while still making room for the people who matter most.
