Ever wondered what your vet's actually doing when they poke, prod, lift tails, and hum thoughtfully through a stethoscope? In this episode of Feces and Laughter, Amanda and Dr. Olson take you on a snout-to-tail tour of a physical exam - breaking down every weird, wonderful, and sometimes stinky step along the way. 

We're spilling the secrets behind what we're really looking for, the subtle signs of illness we catch before you do, and why those annual (and sometimes biannual) checkups are worth their weight in gold (and fur).

Time capsule alert! Back at the end of May, right before the Synergie Leadership Summit, we sat down to record our thoughts, our excitement, and our plans for what we’d be sharing with other veterinary leaders. From team cohesion and consistency to training tools and culture building, this episode captures us in full “pre-summit hype mode.”

Here’s the kicker: life got busy, and we never hit publish. 🙈 But instead of letting it collect dust, we’re sharing it now—because the tools and strategies we talk about are just as relevant tod...

Let’s be real: brachycephalic pups are adorable little gremlins who can’t breathe for shit. 🤷‍♀️ This week, Amanda and Dr. Olson talk about what’s going on inside those squished-up snoots, the surgeries that actually help, and why timing is everything. 

Bonus: plenty of side snorts, jokes about grandpas in recliners, and the phrase “dog nose job” said way too many times.

It’s been a minute… but we’re BACK, baby! Between surgeries, life, and a whole lot of what-the-heck-is-going-on, we finally hit record again—and we decided to make our comeback episode a good one.

In this laugh-out-loud, slightly unhinged kickoff to our next chapter, Dr. Olson reads real recent cases… in full-blown vet-speak. Meanwhile, Amanda (aka the translator for the people) breaks it down into normal human language. Spoiler: it gets weird. And educational. But mostly weird.

Ever left the vet’s office wondering if your dog’s “BAR” status was a good thing or if your cat’s “PU/PD” means they’re about to explode? You’re not alone. In this episode, Amanda and Dr. Olson dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of veterinary lingo—translating acronyms, demystifying medical terms, and laughing through the chaos.

Vet care is priceless… but it definitely ain’t free.

In this episode of Feces and Laughter, Amanda and Dr. Olson dive headfirst into the uncomfortable truth about pet care costs. We’re talking CareCredit, AllPet Card, and other payment options—plus pet insurance, crowdfunding do’s and don’ts, and how Franklin’s All-Stars and Zoetis rewards can save your tail.

But first? We’re setting the record straight.
