You asked. You tapped. You swiped. And we listened.

VETgirl—your trusted source for no-fluff, high-quality veterinary continuing education—is officially going mobile with a brand-new native app launching in early 2026! That’s right, soon you’ll be able to soak up webinars, podcasts, and videos on the go—no desktop (or pants, honestly) required. After more than a decade of empowering veterinary pros with accessible, expert-led education, we’re taking the next leap forward. We’ve spent years upgrading your mobile experience on the web, and now, we’re building the native experience you deserve: sleek, seamless, and built just for your busy, on-the-run, multi-tasking life. WHY NOW? Because you’ve been asking for it—and we heard you loud and clear! Veterinary professionals like you need CE that works with your real-life workflow—between patients, after hours, or in those rare quiet moments. You want learning that’s portable, flexible, and ready when you are. The app is our answer to that call. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT This isn’t just a mini version of our site. This is a native app —built from the ground up to be lightning fast, easy to use, and packed with the features you’ve been craving: • Offline access to CE content • Push notifications for live events • New ways to organize and share your favorite VETgirl content • Badges to celebrate your learning achievements

Learning to Listen to Our Patients by Debbie Martin, LVT, KPA CTP, VTS (Behavior)

THE BIGGER PICTURE At the heart of this app is you—the veterinary professional juggling patient care, client support, family demands and everything in between. The new VETgirl app is designed to make your life easier, your learning smoother, and your professional growth more accessible than ever. It’s about helping you build a learning habit that sticks, no matter how hectic things get. Because when education fits into your real life, it’s not just easier— it’s actually enjoyable. And the best part? This is just the beginning. With the VETgirl mobile app, we’ll be able to bring you even more features, more content, and more of what you love—without missing a beat. SO GET READY, VETGIRL NATION. Soon, the CE content you love will be right where it belongs—next to your e-calculator, Insta vet memes, and that one oddly satisfying splenic mass removal video.

• To understand how our patients perceive the veterinary experience, we have to comprehend how they perceive the world. What they see, hear, taste, smell, and feel is different from us. We can adjust the environment to promote relaxation and calm, and minimize potentially startling or aversive stimuli. • The perception of touch is individualized. What one pet might enjoy, another might find unpleasant. Just as with people, some will pay money to receive a foot massage, and others would avoid one at all costs. • Being able to recognize signs of a relaxed or stressed patient is critical to creating a pleasant environment. If we do not recognize what they are saying, we cannot adapt to the conversation. Every interaction we have with an animal should be considered a dialogue rather than a monologue. • Animals are making associations all the time. They might make a neutral, negative, or pleasant association with‚ an environment or event. We have the power to help create pleasant associations for our patients simply by taking into consideration how our interactions and the environment could impact them.

False Pregnancies and Spontaneous Lactation in Goats by Dr. Andrea Mongini, DVM • Spontaneous lactations or precocious udders can occur in both male and female goats. This is a fairly common syndrome that will not resolve without veterinary intervention. • Surgical amputation of the udder is the most effective way of treating extreme cases of spontaneous lactation in goats. • False pregnancy or hydrometra is very common in adult female goats. It does not affect future fertility, but treatment is important for future health and breeding of the affected doe. • Prostaglandin therapy is the most effective means of treating hydrometra in goats.

Stay tuned. Stay learning. And stay mobile.
