    Have you ever Googled your pet’s symptoms and somehow ended up planning a funeral?…only for your vet to tell you it was gas?! Same.

    In this episode of Feces and Laughter, Dr. Olson and Amanda break down why Dr. Google causes more panic than peace, how modern pet trends and tech are fueling online spirals, and which symptoms actually matter. We talk diarrhea drama, lump panic, “lethargy” lies, and when Googling is helping versus when it absolutely is not.

    Equal parts education, humor, and reality checks for pet parents who just want answers - without losing their minds.

    Ever wondered what your vet's actually doing when they poke, prod, lift tails, and hum thoughtfully through a stethoscope? In this episode of Feces and Laughter, Amanda and Dr. Olson take you on a snout-to-tail tour of a physical exam - breaking down every weird, wonderful, and sometimes stinky step along the way.

    We're spilling the secrets behind what we're really looking for, the subtle signs of illness we catch before you do, and why those annual (and sometimes biannual) checkups are worth their weight in gold (and fur).

    From heart murmurs to "Frito feet," we're covering it all - with plenty of laughs, real-world vet insights, and zero shame about the butt talk.

    Tune in, laugh along, and find out why your vet visit is the most powerful preventative tool your pet has.

  • Time Capsule: BEFORE the Synergie Leadership Summit
    Sep 30 2025

    Send us a text

    Time capsule alert! Back at the end of May, right before the Synergie Leadership Summit, we sat down to record our thoughts, our excitement, and our plans for what we’d be sharing with other veterinary leaders. From team cohesion and consistency to training tools and culture building, this episode captures us in full “pre-summit hype mode.”

    Here’s the kicker: life got busy, and we never hit publish. 🙈 But instead of letting it collect dust, we’re sharing it now—because the tools and strategies we talk about are just as relevant today as they were back then.

    And stay tuned… we’ll also be dropping a follow-up episode with our “after the summit” reflections. Spoiler: we learned a ton, had some unexpected takeaways, and maybe even survived a little chaos along the way.

  • Snorts & Snoots: Fixing Flat-Faced Breathers
    Sep 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Let’s be real: brachycephalic pups are adorable little gremlins who can’t breathe for shit. 🤷‍♀️ This week, Amanda and Dr. Olson talk about what’s going on inside those squished-up snoots, the surgeries that actually help, and why timing is everything.

    Bonus: plenty of side snorts, jokes about grandpas in recliners, and the phrase “dog nose job” said way too many times.

  • Season Two…We’re Baaaack!

    It’s been a minute… but we’re BACK, baby! Between surgeries, life, and a whole lot of what-the-heck-is-going-on, we finally hit record again—and we decided to make our comeback episode a good one.

    In this laugh-out-loud, slightly unhinged kickoff to our next chapter, Dr. Olson reads real recent cases… in full-blown vet-speak. Meanwhile, Amanda (aka the translator for the people) breaks it down into normal human language. Spoiler: it gets weird. And educational. But mostly weird.

    If you’ve ever heard a vet say something like “bilateral otitis externa with purulent discharge” and wondered what the heck it actually means—this one’s for you.

    🎧 Tune in, laugh with us, and finally learn what the heck your vet is really saying about your pet’s booty glands.

  • The Rosetta Bone: Breaking Down Vet Lingo
    May 20 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever left the vet’s office wondering if your dog’s “BAR” status was a good thing or if your cat’s “PU/PD” means they’re about to explode? You’re not alone. In this episode, Amanda and Dr. Olson dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of veterinary lingo—translating acronyms, demystifying medical terms, and laughing through the chaos. From “TFBNDY” (huge shoutout to our friends at All Star Veterinary Clinic!) to “DUDE,” “Party Hat,” and even “Cuterus,” we’re breaking it all down. Because you deserve to know what we’re talking about when we say “nothing per oral cavity.” (Spoiler: That’s not a real thing. Probably.)

    Listen in, learn a little, laugh a lot—and finally crack the code on WTF your vet is saying.
