was reading this morning on LinkedIn about a #SharingKnowledge event that was recently organized for veterinarians in Brazil 🇧🇷... And it made me think 🤔 In this digital world of ours, information has never been so easy to access... And yet... it is now all about finding THE right answer(s) 🧐 So when one get a chance to listen to an expert in their field, it is definitely great 👍🏽 I believe in the power of education and that « an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. » Am happy when I get to sit at one of those events... and even more when I get the opportunity to speak, like on this picture in Guadalajara, at their veterinary faculty 😄 Yep, sharing knowledge is an opportunity, for both the speaker and the attendees. I value those moments and will always be glad when am given this kind of opportunity 👍🏽👊🏽

❄️ ⛄️ Listen to the sound of winter ⛄️ ❄️ It’s here, and we are only mid-November 😄

Today I closed my 500th consecutive day of Spanish lessons on @duolingo... and it made me think of something interesting that happened to me last week in Argentina 🇦🇷 😃 I realized that I actually could understand a good portion of what people were saying in Spanish... but more than that ! I detected - on my own 😄- the difference in pronunciation with the traditional Castillan Spanish... and that actually did not impact my understanding 😊 It was my first time in Argentina, I actually had no idea about those differences... so I was super-proud of myself obviously 😄 I am still a long way from speaking it fluently but I can feel I am improving. And I came a long way because 3 years ago, I did not speak nor understand a single word in Spanish 😄 15 minutes a day, everyday, for 500 days... It does not sound like much... and it can actually get you a long way 👌🏽 Never doubt the power of hard work. With perseverance, and as long as you make the effort, anything is possible 👍🏽

Just came back from Argentina 🇦🇷... and looks like the concept of « Manu-sitter » - initially developed by my Brazilian friends 🇧🇷😉 - is expanding 😄 Definitely not complaining about this 😂 Joke apart, thanks to them this year I was reminded of the importance of hanging out with the locals while traveling 🧭 Indeed, they shared with me facts, anecdotes, stories... that nobody else would have told me. Hanging out with them, discussing with them gives a real « feel » of the country. And this is what I am definitely after when traveling 😉 So am really grateful to all the « Manu-sitters » I had this year 🙏🏾 I learned a lot... and I hope one day, I’ll be able to return the favour when you visit one of my « countries » (especially the one lost in the Indian Ocean obviously 😉).

Thought of the day... and a good one I think 🤔 With good use of our time, I do believe we can make amazing things. On my end, am definitely working on this 😉

Part III of my last blog. Check my wall to read about Part I & II 😉 A test is only as good as its interpretation For a long time we thought antibiotics were the solution to everything in canine reproduction. I still see many posts online that relay this thinking. Actually, in many cases, they are not needed. Before performing a vaginal culture today, I want to see clear visible signs of infection : - abnormal vaginal discharge - presence of neutrophils on the vaginal smear - inflammation of the vaginal mucosa seen under endoscopy - abnormal discharge from the uterus If I don’t see any of these, I won’t recommend performing a vaginal culture… because if I do one, it will come back positive… and then, what will I do with these results ? I often say that a test is only as good as its interpretation. And that’s the most important take-away in my opinion here. It comes back positive and a bacteria is isolated in heavy growth. Great, but does this actually mean the bacteria in question is causing the problem observed here ? Today in veterinary medicine, we have more and more tools to help us better answer this question. And it is thanks to those that we changed our approach. For the better I think. That is the real beauty of veterinary medicine : we learn as we go, and in this field, we will never stop learning !
