Veterinary Controversies and Ethical Dilemmas
This book identifies increasing concerns with the veterinary profession and confronts them provocatively, with a view to stimulating positive change. A central theme is the emergence of the profitable 'fur baby' which is being propagated through encouraged anthropomorphism, a limited evidence base, overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and practice corporatisation. Richly accompanied with thoughts on veterinary celebrity, the misrepresentation of veterinary 'success', research using client-owned animals, unregulated treatments and end-of-life decision-making, the book represents a small room full of large elephants. With experienced contributors from around the world, each chapter combines personal story with evidence-based reflections.While many of the subjects presented will have undergone some degree of ethical analysis, the book itself does not intend to teach veterinary ethics; instead, its role is to identify key concerns with the profession's current trajectory and to present them with candour, from the perspective of concerned veterinary professionals.Ideal for use within the veterinary curriculum to stimulate undergraduate thought and discussion, this book will also be a valuable reference for practitioners as the veterinary profession comes to terms with life in a post-truth era.

The Main Tumors Discovered in Ruminants
The most common tumors in ruminants are lymphoma, leukemia, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Some of the more common tumors, such as lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma, are better documented. On the other hand, ocular squamous cell carcinoma manifests as an infiltrating eyelid mass in adult cattle with poor periocular pigmentation. Similarly, juvenile and dermal forms of LBS affect young dairy cows with polyadenomegaly or skin nodules. However, other tumor processes, related to the organ involved in the primary tumor or metastases, are also possible. Histological examination is the microscopic examination of tissues to study the appearance of cells and tissues in order to diagnose tumors such as other diseases. It is an important tool for the diagnosis of cancer. It is therefore the confirmatory examination of tumors. Usually, immunohistochemistry is the most common histological examination. Necropsy can be used to diagnose tumors. It is a post-mortem examination of an animal to determine the cause of death or assess pathological conditions. It is the ultimate diagnostic fate of most experimental animals.
A Compassionate Calling
A Compassionate Calling offers an unflinching and deeply personal look into the realities of the veterinary profession.Dr. Marie Holowaychuk, a veterinary specialist with experience in academia, emergency and referral hospitals, and general practice, weaves candid personal stories with evidence-based insights from published research. In 40 concise and thought-provoking chapters, she explores the hidden curriculum of veterinary school, the toll of on-call work, the emotional impact of euthanasia, the challenges of practicing during a pandemic, and many other important topics. Marie also tackles pressing issues like diversity, equity, inclusion, and the evolving dynamics of pet insurance and corporatization in veterinary medicine.Despite nearly 90% of pet owners viewing their animals as family members, few truly understand the challenges veterinarians face daily. This book pulls back the curtain to address questions such as: Why don't some veterinarians recommend the profession to others? How do distressing events, like euthanasia and moral stress, affect veterinarians' mental health? What do veterinarians wish pet owners knew about the emotional and mental toll of caring for their animals? With its blend of heartfelt storytelling and practical insights, A Compassionate Calling is essential reading for pet owners, aspiring veterinarians, and anyone curious about the veterinary profession. Practicing veterinarians will also find comfort and connection in its honest exploration of the joys and struggles of veterinary life.
