Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! Join Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, as they swap stories about one of the most relatable experiences in veterinary medicine: being the vet in everyone's contact list. In this episode, they reflect on the calls, texts, and photo-in-a-group-chat moments that every vet knows all too well, from the truly head-scratching questions to the ones that genuinely keep you up at night. They discuss why diagnosing a pet from a blurry photo or a secondhand description is harder than it sounds, what friends and family can do to actually help their vet get them the best advice, and why—despite it all—vets really do want to be there for the people they love.
