Welcome to the season 5 premiere of Veterinary Vitals! This season begins with a timely update from Dr. Lori Teller, AVMA past-president and TVMA past-president, on illicit xylazine. AVMA helped develop, introduce, and build support for the bipartisan Combating Illicit Xylazine Act, which seeks to keep the drug's legitimate veterinary uses under the current prescription status.
