It seems like everywhere I go in Whistler people still keep asking about this…
So I thought it would be easier to make a video, since it’s a really long answer, and it’s not something I really enjoy having to talk about everywhere I go. Now I can just say: “Go watch the video:)”
No, I am no longer practicing veterinary medicine. I submitted my official retirement/resignation to the CVBC at the end of 2023.

On today’s episode of Twin Trees Vet Talk
I discuss veterinary mental health and suicide, my experience with burnout in the veterinary profession. I share my personal journey in veterinary medicine, factors that led to psychological distress as a veterinary professional, and what led me to stop practicing veterinary medicine.
We hope you enjoy this episode! Please leave your questions and comments below!

On today's episode of Twin Trees Vet Talk, we welcome our very special guest, Dr. Jörg Mayer DVM, MS, DABVP, DECZM, DACZM. Dr. Mayer is a Professor of Zoological Medicine at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, where he also teaches Bee Medicine classes to veterinarians and veterinary students.
In this episode we will focus on advice for beekeepers and troubleshooting bee colony loss. We discuss common honeybee diseases like the va roa mite and foulbrood, the use of medications like antibiotics in bees, hive autopsy, and the recent mandatory involvement of veterinarians in backyard and commercial honeybee farms due to new FDA regulations, the importance of joining your local beekeeper's association as well as providing diverse nectar sources for pollinators by planting wildflowers and native green spaces.
Pollinators are in major danger. Many of them are facing extinction. If you want to help pollinators here are some simple things you can do: Buy organic. Don't use pesticides. Plant wild native flowers. Support your local farmers and local beekeepers by going to the farmers market and buying locally grown food and honey.
We hope you enjoy this episode! Please leave your questions and comments below!Check out the first episode in this bee series where we discuss the importance of bees with respect to the economy and global food security, the major threats to bees, how to help the bees, and much more.
