Episode 17 - Pancreatitis: Trim the Fat, But Don't Feed It

Season 1 · Episode 17

Tuesday, November 26, 2024 • Duration 37:40

We have a few holidays this week. The biggest is Thanksgiving, a celebration of the harvest. It's a religious holiday for Christians and Wiccans alike. We gather together and share the bounties in the fall. Food, drinks, the big game, family and friends.
On Friday, we go after the huge sales or we celebrate Native American Heritage Day.
All of these festivities involve food, which is why this is pancreatitis season in veterinary hospitals!

For Native American Heritage Day, we here at the podcast would like to acknowledge the Suisunes tribe from where Dr. Corcoran lives in California and the Pawtucket people of Massachusetts where Heather lives.
