Review

We just had to review it – you know what we are talking about: Tiger King, the series on Netflix. What do we score it out of 10: we can’t say here – just listen to the podcast!

Main Topic: Pick Me – Getting into Veterinary Science and choosing a path once graduated

This week we try to answer two common questions we receive via email: How do I get into a veterinary related course? and How do I get into the field of interest once I graduate? Great questions, and no wonder they are commonly asked.

  • PLAGUE INC.

Brendan reviews the game Plague Inc. As the promo for the game says: ‘Can you infect the world? Your pathogen has just infected ‘Patient Zero’. Now you must bring about the end of human history…’. Something to while away the time with while you are in lockdown. He gives it a solid 8.9/10.

Main Topic: Mandibular Fractures in Rabbits

Sometimes bad things happen. Despite our best intentions, the occasional rabbit dental treatment results in a fractured mandible. It’s not all bad news, as Brendan and Mark discuss treatment options when this occurs.
