In this conversation, Dr. Cliff Redford discusses two main topics. First, he talks about the trend of regular veterinarians sending all radiographs to specialists for analysis, even when it may not be necessary. He shares his concerns about this practice and emphasizes the importance of veterinarians being able to interpret radiographs themselves. Second, he discusses the Lone Star tick, which can cause an allergy to mammalian meat known as alpha-gal syndrome. He explains the symptoms and implications of this allergy and highlights the need for prompt removal of ticks to prevent diseases like Lyme disease.
