b'Arguably one of the most challenging exam parameters for veterinary patients is body temperature. We have traditionally performed this rectally. So there\\u2019s that. \\n\\u2026\\nBut how accurate is a rectal temperature anyway? And how were those \\u201cnormal temperature ranges\\u201d determined? Have we been taking pet\\u2019s temperatures wrong?\\n\\u2026\\nThis week hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor are joined by two of Mella Pet Care\\u2019s co-founders Yale Zhang and Anya Babbitt to discuss \\u201call things temperature\\u201d - and a whole lot more! (Mella.ai)\\n\\u2026\\nThe quartet muse on the current limitations and challenges of rectal temperature in animals, why the \\u201cstandard\\u201d thermometer may not be as good as we\\u2019d like to believe, and Mell\\u2019s approach to in-home diagnostics.\\n\\u2026\\nDr. Ward and Yale postulate on the future of in-home diagnostics, how this will impact telemedicine, and what this means for veterinary clinics.\\n\\u2026\\nBeckie challenges the notion that in-home testing performed by pet parents will threaten the veterinary profession and makes an astute observation on pediatricians, babies, and, well, body temperatures and veterinary businesses. You have to listen to find out more! Brilliant!\\n\\u2026\\nThis is an important discussion because it speaks to the accelerating trend of what Dr. Ward calls, \\u201cThe democratization of diagnostics.\\u201d We think you\\u2019re going to love this conversation!'
