Get ahead with VETAHEAD and join Dr. Laila Proença™ on 15 minutes of ZooMed (exotic animal medicine) content. In this firecracker of an episode, Dr. Laila Proença digs deep into the controversial conversation shaking up the world of rabbit medicine — do metoclopramide and cisapride actually help, or are we clinging to outdated practices? With new data reaffirming what female-led research has already shown for nearly a decade, it’s time we ask: is this “breaking news” or just patriarchy in action? Get ready for science-backed sass, some serious myth-busting, and a conversation on gender bias in veterinary science you didn’t know you needed.
