Show Notes

Well, it has FINALLY happened. Dr. Andy Anderson and I were finally able to connect to chat about tarantula care, and man it was well worth the wait. In this episode, Dr. Anderson talks about tarantula medical topics like:

  • DKS symptoms and causes
  • Dehydration 
  • Impaction 
  • Molt issues
  • Nematodes

In part 2 next week, Dr. Anderson will discuss injuries he's treated and their causes, tarantula ICUs, and the state of invert veterinary medicine in the US.

You can find Dr. Andy Anderson at Shiloh Veterinary Hospital!
