About this listen

Meet The Chatty Vets — Charlotte & Brendan — two UK small-animal vets navigating the wild, wonderful, and occasionally ridiculous world of veterinary practice. Expect monthly news, clinical cases, odd consult moments, and the kind of humour only someone who’s survived a chaotic consult room can appreciate.

We release three episodes a month: two fortnightly updates on what’s happening across UK vet med, plus a bonus episode that might be a clinical deep-dive, a research paper chat, or an excuse to talk to interesting people who also chose this brilliant, baffling profession.

If you work in vet med and want learning, honesty, and a few laughs to get you through the shift, you’ll feel right at home.

    Episode 4: Jan 2026 Two-Week Takedown, Part 2

    It’s time for another two-week takedown 🎙️ and we’re back with the things that have been filling up our consult rooms, group chats, and on-call brains over the last fortnight.

    In this episode, Brendan and Charlotte dive into the new weekly NSAID, daxocox—how it works, where it might fit into practice, and the questions we’re already being asked. We also tackle the big Librela debate, sharing honest thoughts, clinical experiences, and why opinions seem so divided.

    Along the way, we chat about teddy bears for guinea pigs, the lighter (and sometimes stranger) moments of clinical life, and much, much more that’s been cropping up in day-to-day practice.

    As always, it’s a relaxed, candid conversation between two practising vets—covering the news, the nuance, and the real-world realities behind the headlines.

    If you want to stay up to date, feel understood after a busy shift, and have a laugh while you’re at it, this one’s definitely worth a listen 🐾

  • Episode 3 - Bonus Episode! Deep Dive into Head Tilt
    Jan 18 2026

    Episode 3: Deep Dive – Head Tilt

    That's right, the dreaded neuro! But don't worry, we're here to break it down for you.

    In this episode Brendan and Charlotte talk through how to approach head tilt cases across species, from vestibular disease in dogs, to working up head tilt in cats, and the truly impressive head tilts we can see in rabbits. We cover how to assess these patients in the consult room, what to focus on in your clinical exam, how to build a sensible diagnostic plan, and how treatment and prognosis can vary depending on the cause.

    We also discuss those tricky decision points—what you can manage in first opinion, what needs further investigation, and when referral is the right call.

    If head tilt makes your heart sink a little, or you just want a clearer, more confident approach to these cases, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can use straight away in practice.

    Episode 2: January 2026 Two-Week Takedown

    It’s our first full episode 🎉 and we’re kicking things off with the January 2026 two-week takedown.

    In this episode, Brendan and Charlotte chat about festive toxicities, questionable foreign bodies, the CMA report and what it could mean for the profession, dreaded dentals, and the joys and challenges of dealing with particularly feisty feline patients.

    As always, this is a relaxed, honest chat between two practising vets—covering the news, the clinical reality, and the things that have been filling up our consult rooms and WhatsApp chats over the last couple of weeks.

    If you want to stay up to date, feel seen after a busy on-call, and have a bit of a laugh along the way, this one’s well worth a listen.
