| 6/16/26 | Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio – Keeping track of kidney disease | Urine protein creatinine ratio (UPC) can be incredibly insightful. With a single urine sample, TVMDL can help clients determine if a pet is losing too much protein in their urine. This information can lead treatment decisions and get ahead of kidney disease. In this episode Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Cathy Campbell discuss UPC testing and its value with Kellye Stillwell, technician in the College Station lab's clinical pathology section. | — | ||||||

This is a short episode packed full of timely and relevant information! | — | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | Large animal reproduction – Things to consider diagnostically | In large animals, reproductive failure or abortion has a multifactorial etiology. As such, there are several diagnostic routes ones one should consider. But, where do you start? In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Semira Mancill sit down with Madison Carroll, a technician in the College Station lab's clinical pathology section to discuss best practices and testing options that may assist in large animal reproduction. | — | ||||||
| 11/4/25 | Blackleg – Dormant spores with deadly consequences | Blackleg, also known as clostridial myositis, is a serious, often fatal disease that primarily affects cattle. It's caused by a spore-forming bacterium that is commonly found in soil and the gastrointestinal tracts of healthy animals and has deadly impacts, if not caught in time. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Alexis Thompson visit with Dr. Tegner Jacobson, microbiology section head in Canyon, to discuss the disease and testing options that may be of interest to producers. | — | ||||||
| 10/21/25 | Dermatophytosis – Ringing out testing details for ringworm | A dermatophyte is the more scientific term for skin fungus that requires keratin for growth and can cause infections of the hair, skin, and nails in large and small animals and in humans.

Botulism is a rare, but serious, disease caused by a bacteria. Timing is key to accurate diagnosis, but don't let speed trump safety precautions. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Semira Mancill chat with Kelsey Bond, microbiology laboratory supervisor, on the causes of botulism and the diagnostics available for clients. | — | ||||||
| 9/16/25 | Cyanide Toxicity – How to handle the stress of drought stressed forages and other sources of cyanide toxicity | Sorghum species, including Sudan grass and Johnson grass are considered cyanogenic plants, meaning they contain compounds that can release cyanide when the plant is damaged or stressed. It's crucial livestock owners stay vigilant during these conditions as cyanide toxicity can lead to sudden death. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Alexis Thompson sit down with Julie Anna Prusak, a technician in the analytical chemistry section, to discuss the environmental conditions that can lead to cyanide toxicity, testing options in suspected cases, and what livestock producers can do to stay ahead of the risk. | — | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | Equine Rhinitis – An overlooked cause of respiratory illness | Equine Rhinitis Viruses A and B can present like many other respiratory illnesses. Testing is the only way to rule these viruses out, but that process brings a new set of questions. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Semira Mancill discuss both viruses and TVMDL's testing options with the agency's assistant agency director for microbiology, Dr. Erika Schwarz. | — | ||||||
| 8/19/25 | Sample Submission – Making the most of your submission | Sample submission is arguably the most important step of the testing process. If specimens aren't submitted properly testing may be yield valuable results, if any.

| 8/5/25 | Bone Biopsy – Be nice to your tissue and it will be nice to you | Biopsies are incredibly useful diagnostic tools. Small sections of tissue can offer a host of critical health information, however, it's important biopsies are collected and submitted properly to ensure they are useful. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Cathy Campbell chat with Dr. Randi Gold, one of TVMDL's pathologists, to cover tips and tricks for getting the most information out of bone biopsy submissions. | — | ||||||
| 7/15/25 | Coccidiomycosis – How to get through the "valley" and tackle this infection with diagnostics | Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley Fever, is a fungal infection. The infection is acquired through inhalation of airborne arthrospores from disturbed soil. Once inhaled, the spores transform into spherules within the host's lungs, leading to a localized or disseminated infection. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Cathy Campbell sit down with Kalyn Green, assistant section head for serology, to cover clinical signs, diagnostics, and result interpretation. | — | ||||||
| 7/1/25 | Blue Green Algae – Don't trust a scummy body of water | Texas summers offer the ideal ingredients for cyanobacteria algal blooms, otherwise known as blue-green algae. Despite the vibrant colors, these blooms can lead to devastating health effects in animals, if the toxins are ingested. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Michael Piccione sit down with Chase Gwinner, one of the analytical chemistry section's scientists charged with identifying blue-green algae for clients. | — | ||||||
