The conversation explores whether vets still read journals cover to cover, the evolution of print and digital publishing, and the stories behind The Veterinary Edge and Pet &amp;<strong> <\/strong>Vet magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things take an unexpected turn as the trio debate the difference between poisonous and venomous animals, including why adders are venomous rather than poisonous. There\u2019s also time for pi, puns, the origins of the \u201cold manosphere\u201d and the very serious question of why Tesco\u2019s straight croissants are, apparently, a crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This episode is a look behind the scenes of veterinary publishing, from the people and publications that have shaped the profession to the strange conversations that happen when a publisher, a vet and a vet nurse\/podcaster sit down with a beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation explores the evolution of FIP treatment, including the journey of GS antiviral therapies from treating Feline Infectious Peritonitis to contributing to the development of treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
