Navigating the Pandemic as a Veterinary Forensics Expert with Dr. Melinda Merck
Show Notes

“I like doing the forensics work and I like working at the grocery store and I really think that blend could work.”

The pandemic has significantly impacted the way people live, work, and interact with loved ones. Our guest today, Melinda Merck, DVM, who is a veterinary forensics expert, had to find a second job. While she is still the owner of Veterinary Forensics Consulting, she also works at her community grocery store, Randall’s. There, she has formed tight-knit relationships with employees and customers.

Her need to take on this additional role indicates that veterinary forensics on a broader scale has been impacted. In this episode, she delves into the pandemic’s impact on interpersonal violence and animal abuse, what working at the grocery store means to her, and how she and her team coped with the extreme winter storm last month.
