🪱🐶 This is how fast screwworm can invade even a normal, healing spay wound.
If your dog goes outside with ANY fresh incision, this is a real risk.

My full podcast episode breaks the outbreak down and what every pet parent needs to know.

The latest episode of my Controversial Animal Topics Podcast hits hard. It’s called Under Pressure: The Veterinary Su***de Crisis—and it’s one of the most important conversations I’ve ever recorded.

💔 Did you know veterinarians are 3–5x more likely to die by su***de than the general population?
💬 Nearly 80% experience depression at some point in their career.

We enter this field because we love animals. But the constant emotional strain, financial pressure, and perfectionism can push even the strongest among us to the edge. To my fellow vets and pre-vets—your compassion matters, but so does your wellbeing. You can’t pour from an empty cup. To pet parents—your understanding matters more than you know. Be patient. Be kind. Remember, your vet’s heart breaks too.

🎧 Tune in to Under Pressure: The Veterinary Su***de Crisis—streaming now on your favorite podcast platform.

Because it’s time to talk about what’s really happening behind the exam-room door…and how we start to heal.

Pet parents…have you heard about screwworm this year? Or has information been hidden?

Hidden lesions like this are exactly the type of wound screwworms look for.
This is why proper hoof care isn’t optional — it’s prevention.

If you want the real story behind the 2025 screwworm situation, the USDA restrictions, and what pet parents need to know, listen to my Controversial AnimalTopics podcast episode:

As a veterinarian who stays deep in the science, I break down the outbreak, the parasite’s life cycle, and why wound management matters just as much for livestock as it does for our household pets.

Happy Veterans Day from Dr. Croom, Army Vet 🪖💜

To all my brothers and sisters in arms — stay strong.
We’ve always known how to serve, lead, and rise when the world needs us most.

Our mission doesn’t end when we hang up the uniform. We keep showing up — for our families, our communities, and those who need us most. 🦅🐺🐕

🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day. Keep serving. Keep standing tall.

Home euthanasia BTS with Doc and intern Faith

🎉 Big news from Dr. Croom, Army Vet — I officially joined the Portage Zhang Senior Center! 🪶

So here’s how it happened: I walked in, looked around at this beautiful space full of energy, laughter, and wisdom — and I asked, “How young do you have to be to join?” They said 55, and I thought, okay, got a few years to go. Then they corrected themselves: actually, it’s 50.

Well… I said, “Give me that application right now!” 😂

I’m so grateful to be here, to still be here, and to still have a mission. Reaching 50 isn’t just a milestone — it’s a reminder that I’m alive, thriving, and still serving through my gifts.

I met some incredible people today — folks playing mahjong, carving wood, laughing over coffee, and a few of my fellow veterans proudly wearing their hats (I definitely need to get one too 👏🏽).

I’ll be sharing what I love most with this amazing community — from talks on senior pets and hospice care to at-home chiropractic and end-of-life services for our beloved animals. Because our elders and their pets deserve gentle care and respect in every stage of life. 🐾💛
