Why Get the Gurney Podcast?!

Why even START a podcast?!

Well as Drs. Eigenbrod & Kilty started seeing cases at their urgent care hospital, Five Star Vet Center, in Springfield IL they realized they were seeing some very unique cases.

Challenging cases allowed us to learn, grow and talk to some rockstar doctors in vet med and we would love to share those experiences with you!

Dr. Kilty and the Five Star Team were going through common phrases we say throughout the day working urgent care vet med.

Some phrases in the running were:

Get The Gurney! Podcast
Find A Vein! Podcast
Just A Nail Trim Podcast
Got A Flash Podcast

We love our choice! What do you think?!

Great post from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital about leptospirosis and your pet!

I know we can't keep them from drinking from every puddle but we can protect them with a vaccine!

This would be a great podcast topic in the future!

Attention all pet parents! 🐾 When you're out enjoying a hike with your furry friend, remember that still water sources can harbor bacteria harmful to your pups. Leptospirosis, found in the urine of wild animals, can lead to severe kidney and liver issues. Always provide clean water and discuss the leptospirosis vaccine with your vet. Stay safe and informed! 🌲🐶
