    Mar 31 2026
    Feline diabetes management is evolving fast, and SGLT2 inhibitors are at the center of that conversation. In this deep-dive episode, Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle are joined by Dr. Renee Rucinsky — board-certified feline specialist, owner of Mid Atlantic Cat Hospital and Mid Atlantic Feline Thyroid Center, and a key contributor to the AAHA diabetes management guidelines, including the upcoming updated edition. Dr. Rucinsky walks through the mechanism of action of oral SGLT2 inhibitors, their emerging role in feline diabetes management, patient selection criteria, and what the latest evidence is telling us about when and how to use them in practice. If you've been fielding questions from clients about these drugs — or wondering where they fit in your own protocols — this episode gives you the clinical clarity to move forward with confidence.

  • The Aggressive Cat Myth: What We're Getting Wrong wit Dr. Renee Rucinsky

    The Aggressive Cat Myth: What We're Getting Wrong wit Dr. Renee Rucinsky
    Mar 17 2026
    Cats are the most commonly owned pet in the United States — and yet they're dramatically underrepresented in veterinary visits compared to dogs. One big reason? The vet experience is often so stressful for cats, and so difficult for the people trying to handle them, that owners simply stop bringing them in.
    Today we're exploring the science and the solutions behind feline stress in clinical settings — why cats react the way they do, what that behavior is actually communicating, and how veterinary teams can create environments where cats feel safer.
    Joining us is Dr. Renee Rucinsky, a board-certified feline specialist, owner of Mid Atlantic Cat Hospital and Mid Atlantic Feline Thyroid Center in Maryland, and a respected voice in feline medicine through her lecturing and writing.
