Published: Dec. 25, 2019, 10 a.m.

b'here\\u2019s an old saying in medicine that, \\u201cDeath and Illness Follow the Seasons.\\u201d Give this podcast a listen if you agree! In this week\\u2019s conversation, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT discuss how veterinary professionals can cope with seasonal surges in pet euthanasia and loss. The pair share stories from their practice lives, offer advice on shifting from \\u201cSilly Sweater Mode\\u201d to \\u201cTerminal Illness Expert,\\u201d and how to help colleagues struggling with the strains and stress of euthanasia during the holidays. We believe the veterinary profession needs more authentic conversations like this on tough topics we all confront.\\n\\nViewfinders, please forgive Dr. Ernie\\u2019s audio today; he was in a busy airport terminal making his way home! And while you\\u2019re in the holiday spirit, PLEASE leave us an iTunes review! That\\u2019s all we\\u2019re asking for! Thank you, Viewfinder Family!!'
