Main Topic: Pro and Prebiotic use in Rabbits
It's a controversial topic this week: the value and use of probiotics and prebiotics in rabbits. Strap in, listen in.. and send us an email with your thoughts and comments to VetGurus@gmail.com
Definitions from Wikipedia:
Prebiotics are compounds in food that induce the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.[1] The most common example is in the gastrointestinal tract, where prebiotics can alter the composition of organisms in the gut microbiome.
Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut flora. Probiotics are considered generally safe to consume, but may cause bacteria-host interactions and unwanted side effects in rare cases. There is some evidence that probiotics are beneficial for some conditions, but there is little evidence for many of the health benefits claimed for them.

Brendan reviews an obscure book and topic this week: The Black Prince And The Sea Devils. It is a fascinating story of an Italian nobleman, Prince Junio Valerio Borghese, founder of the first modern naval commando squad. After the Italian capitulation in 1943, Borghese determinedly fought on as a Fascist commando leader. After the war, he became a man of mystery, variously said to be involved with several right-wing conspiracies, abortive coups, and clandestine activity. It's an 8.6 from Brendan.

Review: Talkatoo Veterinary Dictation Software
We review Talkatoo, a desktop voice dictation software package. This is tailored for veterinarians (with a medical dictionary and ability to add any word to the vocabulary) and extremely useful for integrating with your practice management software - it works with all veterinary practice management software. The beauty of this software is its simplicity: download the app to a PC or Mac, install and use. Learn more about it in our review of go to the Talkatoo website. Bottom line: it's very good, easy to use, fast, and works with virtually any application on a PC or a Mac. In fact, Brendan is using the dictation software now to dictate this. Vets using Talkatoo in their practice find it a huge time saver.

Review:
Brendan has another review this week. This time it's a board game. In Wingspan 1-5 players compete to attract birds to their wildlife reserves. Wingspan has been strongly praised for its artwork, its accurate portrayal of its bird habitats, and its gameplay. Over 200,000 copies of the game have been sold since its release in 2019. The game is currently rated as the 20th best game of all time on BoardGameGeek's database of over 18,000 games. Brendan is looking forward to the Oceania expansion, which includes birds from the Australasian region, including the 'Bin Chicken' - the Australian Ibis, which picks up discarded cards ie 'from the bin'!
This game is great fun and relaxing to play, a visual feast, and Brendan give it an 8.6 out of 10.

Bushfires in Australia
Many of our listeners will be aware of the devastating fires currently (Jan 2020) occurring throughout a large area of Australia. Our thoughts are with the families of those who have lost their lives, the terrible damage that have been wrecked on the environment, and the loss of animal life. If you wish to help out we suggest donating to one of the major relief organisations such as the Australian Red Cross or the Salvation Army Australia. Vets Beyond Borders is a veterinary charity that is seeking donations which will go towards their AVERT (Australian Veterinary Emergency Response Team) Program, and is a good way to help out animals directly affected by the bushfires. Click on the links above to go to their website.
For those of us used to dealing with reptiles, it is unfortunate that we are familiar with seeing pet reptiles brought to the clinic with burns.

This week we talk about burns in pet reptiles. Why do they occur, signs and treatment basics are covered. The all important topic of prevention is also discussed.

In this special edition we interview Australian exotics veterinarian Tristan Rich. Tristan 'went viral' after he performed a tumour removal from a goldfish, recording hundreds of thousands of hits on local media and articles relating to the surgery were published in around 150 newspapers worldwide.
Tristan was interviewed at the UPAV exotics conference in late 2018, and we discuss how he became 'famous' on the internet, together with some great stories about his work with Orangutans in Indonesia. We were pleased to see Tristan received the Toady Award at the conference for the most entertaining and informative speaker - well deserved, as his presentation was both informative and very, very funny.

Welcome to the VetGurus podcast! Where else can you find out how to stop seagulls getting drunk, learn about a new species of venomous snake, hear about breeding rhinos in Australia and debate the pros and cons of animal research? Nowhere else! That's why you listen (sometimes) and why we provide you with the best (or maybe the most obscure) news items.. and keep the emails coming in with news items for us to share.
Our main topic this week is vomiting in dogs. Brendan and Mark chat about cases of 'garbage guts' - acute vomiting in dogs. They discuss their top 10 - or maybe 20 - tips for dealing with these cases, such as how long do you 'rest the gut'? What diagnostics to consider (or not)?

A flight crew springs to action to help a French Bulldog. How smart are birds? - we find out - sort of; and a discussion of wild animals helping us in the garden are news items this week. Our final news item is about an incursion of the varroa honey bee mite into Melbourne, Australia.
This weeks main topic? Here it is: Illegal pets. Brendan and mark discuss the complex factors at play when dealing with illegal pets - from the massive money involved in the trade of these animals, the threat they are to ecosystems - both from zoonoses and competing with native species, and the decisions to make when presented with these animals at a veterinary clinic.
Our product review this week is the Clarius C7 wireless portable veterinary ultrasound. Brendan had the opportunity to trial this ultrasound in his practice recently and he found it very user-friendly, in fact a joy to use compared to traditional ultrasounds. Brendan checks out another Clarius ultrasound soon and he will score these products in a later podcast.

News is a bit depressing this week with a story about a kangaroo in a zoo stoned because it wasn't hoping for visitors; popular animals facing higher extinction rates and the severity of the 2016 Great Barrier Reef bleaching. Brighter news is the story of Toby the cat who found a new home after his owners rejected him.
The product review from Mark is a bit left-field, with his take on the state of Australian basketball. We're not sure what it has to do with veterinary medicine, however his enthusiasm is infectious and he gives the Australian basketball a perfect score of 10. Not much room for improvement!
Avian anaesthesia, with emphasis on how to keep the patient stable .. and alive.. during the procedure, is our main topic. Brendan quizzes Mark to learn the secrets of bird anaesthesia, including a discussion on mounting, fluid therapy, thermal support and more.

Quirky news again this week, which begins with talk on empathy - can it be learned, is there a genetic factor or who cares? A field study of Mary River Turtles in Australia reveals an ageing population. The cannibal Red Squirrels of Yukon and the death of Australia's last flamingo are our last news stories.
Our main topic discusses the benefits of desexing, with particular emphasis on small mammals. What are the other benefits of desexing apart from the obvious prevention of breeding and helping control behaviour issues? Mark and Brendan point out significant reasons why we need to desex our small mammals.

How long have you had your pet? We meet a woman who has had the same pet for 56 years. Mark gets the claws out and becomes haughty about declawing, and is anxious about caring for sick pets. In the final news item we put to bed the age-old question - can a newt kill you?
This week's main topic is how to make the surgical vet visit run smoothly from the client and pet perspective. Tips such as completing as much paperwork as possible before the surgery, having the client leave some favourite food and bedding items, and sending dog and cats home with a bandana are discussed - and more!

The news is mostly about birds this week, where we learn about bird brains, the pros and cons of feeding wild birds, and the sad life of a New Zealand Gannet. In brighter news, the invention of an edible 6-pack may help protect marine mammals.
Our book review this week is a reptile text of great value and use for general practitioners, though Brendan refuses to give it a score out of 10: Listen to the podcast to find out why!
Our main topic this week is ectoparasites of small mammals. We scratch the itch to discuss mange in guinea pigs, fur mites in rabbits, and rodents that can't stop scratching. Just thinking about these topics is making us itchy.

It's the Australia Day holiday down under and Brendan and Mark are in a festive and feisty mood. News Mark jumps in the deep end to ponder on the meaning of Australia day - and what exactly should we be celebrating? Another load of news stories this week: Songbirds struggling with noise; banning of circus animals; and animal welfare campaigners protest a proposed dog breeding facility. in lighter news we jump on the treadmill with baby sea turtles and discuss a fishy story about tapeworm infections in humans.

Here we are already half way through January. Brendan and Mark are both back at work fighting the good fight against pesky parasites, belligerent bacteria, vexatious virus, and cranky clients.
In news, snake eggs are found in a school sandpit in Australia, pumas (or wild mountain lions) are picky when choosing their sleeping sites, and the Mekong region reveals over 100 new species. Mark fires Brendan up with a story about the animal inspirations behind the newest Star Wars creatures, then brings us back to earth with an article about the mental health of animal shelter workers.
Since this is our 13th episode - lucky for some - we decided to make our main topic a chat about the lifespan of pets. How old can we expect our small mammals, birds and reptiles to live for? No spoilers - subscribe and listen to learn the answers.

Having (just) recovered from their Christmas festivities, including a face-to-face catch up in Melbourne, Mark and Brendan reminisce over the happenings in 2017. They look into their crystal ball for 2018 and consider the future of veterinary science. We receive a fascinating email from a subscriber in Singapore, who educates us on the otter population in Singapore. In other news we report of a fire at London Zoo, person is killed in the USA from a dog attack, and we discuss an article about Christmas and dogs. Mark is concerned about the low genetic diversity of ferrets in some geographical locations, and is looking younger due to his skiing.
Our main topic this episode is our thoughts on the year about to end and what to expect in 2018 - what is the outlooks for graduates? What are the likely popular species of pets?
We wish all our subscribers and listeners a wonderful New Year and a safe and happy 2018. We look forward to talking to you soon... and don't forget to send us an email to say hi.

Ho Ho Ho. In this special edition Mark and Brendan spread some Christmas cheer. Each of us review items for use over the holiday period - some veterinary based and some not.
In news we talk about the world's heaviest flying bird and a fossil named after Darth Vader.
Looking for some new equipment to spice up your practice? Then consider the great fold-away and portable Buster ICU enclosure, which will pay for itself in no time. Or keep your patients toasty with the aptly named HotDog pet warming system. The Rycom non-contact clinical thermometer is a useful temperature measurement gadget that Mark uses - 5.9/10.
Suprelorin (deslorelin) implants are reviewed by Mark, as well as bird foraging video.
Tired of vet life and need something to take your mind off work? Look no further than the intriguing documentary about Vivian Maier. It's a great true mystery documentary about a street photographer and excellent viewing even for those with little interest in photography, as it is also about the human condition and is very poignant. 9.2 out of 10 From Brendan.
A novel to read over the Christmas break is Artemis. It is a science fiction novel set on the moon by the author of The Martian, which was made into a film starring Matt Damon. Artemis is the story of Jazz, a small time smuggler on the moon and her adventures. A fun, fast paced, easy to read novel perfect for the post Christmas period, recommended by Brendan. Or consider the book The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, a thought provoking read for the holiday period.
A non-fiction text to consider is the Avian Anatomy, Textbook and colour atlas. This second edition text is a high quality production
For some Christmas cheer consider a beer from the Grand Ridge Brewery, located in Mirboo North, east of Melbourne, Australia in the Gippsland region.
