"PET EMEGENCY: DON'T PANIC!" with Dr. Garret Pachtinger

When your pet has an emergency, panic can set in fast. What should you do first? What happens when you arrive at the ER? And how do veterinarians decide which animal gets treated first?Dr. Garret Pachtinger, a board-certified veterinary emergency and critical care specialist, joins Mark to take some of the fear and uncertainty out of one of the most stressful moments a pet parent can face. From recognizing a true emergency and knowing when to head to the ER, to understanding triage, wait times, costs, and what’s happening behind those closed doors, Garret gives pet owners an inside look at emergency veterinary medicine.They also talk about how a little preparation before an emergency happens can make a huge difference when every minute counts—and how new technology, including Garret’s work with Tether, is helping veterinarians communicate, learn, and provide better care.Because when something happens to the animal you love, you may still be scared—but you don’t have to be unprepared.www.furrealpodcast.comwww.vetgirlontherun.com www.tether.pet www.openvet.aiig@ thefurrealpodcast ig@markakyle fb@Mark A Kyle tik tok@thefurrealpodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
