Dr Sue has been invited to speak at the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine as part of its Integrative Medicine Program Speaker Series.
I recently wrote this blog which generated a lot of comments on the blog site and on the NY Times site:
There has been a lot of press and debate lately about the high costs of veterinary medicine. Being in New York, I’m thinking of several NY Times articles.
On the front page on April 5, there was the article “New Treatments to Save a Pet, but Questions About the Costs.”
This article highlighted the advances in veterinary medicine and the associated high costs, including bone marrow transplants for dogs with lymphoma at NC State, urinary stents for blocked kidneys or bladders, and radiation therapy for brain tumors. These procedures can cost $10,000 to $15,000, and total bills may exceed $25,000 for all medical care. There are also advances in diagnostic tests such as CT scanners and MRI imaging. These tests (including anesthesia) can cost $1,000-2,000.

🙋♀️ Anyone else have a hard time focusing at work today?
♥️ This was my excuse. And can you blame me?
🥰 This cutie is Jerry. He and Violet and Hank come to work some days with their mom Dr. MacDonald. She is one of our amazing emergency doctors, and I’m so lucky to work with her (even if she didn’t share her adorable dogs with me!)
😊I love having these three in my office - they make my day better and happier by just being in my office.
😴 But I do have to admit when they’re in a deep sleep, their snoring makes me want to take a nap.
💯 But it’s all worth it to have dogs by my side to make stressful days a little easier. And seriously, could Jerry be cuter??!
🇨🇦 What was a highlight of my short 3 day trip to Toronto?
🐕 The Dog Fountain. Clearly the artist loved pugs. Definitely worth IMO seeing if you get to Toronto ♥️
🇨🇦Great day 1 at the #hillsglobalsymposium in Toronto
💩 it’s all about the microbiome and prebiotics, probiotics and well, poop.
🤳🏽The afternoon changed gears and covered storytelling and social media, and included a few selfies. I was honored to be asked to join the panel of social media experts
👏 @hillspet is hosting an amazing conference and it’s being live-streamed too. Cannot wait for tomorrow
