2.29: Scrotal Hematoma (aka Swollen Empty Ball Sac Syndrome)

About this episode

In the season two finale, hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh discuss their upcoming IACP conference while sharing rescue updates and a humorous story about a dog's medical issue.

Season Two Finale! In episode 29, hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh gear up for a week in Savannah at the IACP conference—with two husbands and five young kids in tow. Between the usual chaos and conference prep, they share rescue updates and dive into the saga of Enzo’s, ahem, “ball situation” (medically: scrotal hematoma). This inspires a slightly uncomfortable trip down rescue memory lane, featuring legends like Dicer the Doberman and Pepsi, the infamous Giving Tuesday tearjerker. This one is a short, sweet, and delightfully awkward episode that might have you wondering what it’s like to ice your dog’s bits. Par for the course of a day in the life!
