Summary: “Client education” has always been one of my favorite parts of being a veterinarian. When the lightbulb goes on for a client about some aspect of home care, there is joy in that transfer or information, and hope for bettering a pet’s life in some way. Typically I stick to the script. We might cover tips for administering a medication, how to change a bandage, or symptoms of hypothyroidism. But I hope you don’t mind if I veer off course to highlight three life lessons in today's podcast that aren’t rooted in veterinary science. I’ve learned them, or should I say I’ve “earned them”, caring for my clients, patients, 8 human children, and 3 dogs. Consider it a heart to heart talk from one mom to another (dads of course are also welcome!).
