    Ear Cytology: A Test We Too Often Skip With Dr. Layne & Dr. Belew

    16/07/2026 | 26 mins.
    Ear cytology gives us information that a visual examination—or even sniff test—simply cannot, yet we too often forgo this essential diagnostic step. In this episode of the Partner Podcast, Dr. Beth talks with Liz Layne, DVM, DACVD, and Christi Belew, DVM, about the role of cytology in otitis externa management. They share practical tips for interpreting samples and explore how emerging analyzer technology is bringing a new level of consistency and accuracy to in-clinic results.

    Veterinary Breakroom: When "Practice Owner" Isn't What It Sounds Like

    13/07/2026 | 19 mins.
    Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! Join Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, as they discuss pressing issues impacting the veterinary profession. Corporate consolidators are offering associates equity in veterinary practices at an increasing rate, and the pitch can sound pretty compelling. But, is a minority stake actually the partnership it's made out to be? Tune in as Dr. Alyssa and Dr. Beth react to a recent VIN News Service article on the trend, consider what the fine print can mean for career mobility, and reflect on the gap between feeling like an owner and actually being one.
