The Chatty Vets Podcast
Meet The Chatty Vets — Charlotte & Brendan — two UK small-animal vets navigating the wild, wonderful, and occasionally ridiculous world of veterinary practice. Expect monthly news, clinical cases, odd consult moments, and the kind of humour only someone who’s survived a chaotic consult room can appreciate.
We release three episodes a month: two fortnightly updates on what’s happening across UK vet med, plus a bonus episode that might be a clinical deep-dive, a research paper chat, or an excuse to talk to interesting people who also chose this brilliant, baffling profession.
If you work in vet med and want learning, honesty, and a few laughs to get you through the shift, you’ll feel right at home.

Episode 3 - Bonus Episode! Deep Dive into Head Tilt
Episode 3: Deep Dive – Head Tilt
That's right, the dreaded neuro! But don't worry, we're here to break it down for you.
In this episode Brendan and Charlotte talk through how to approach head tilt cases across species, from vestibular disease in dogs, to working up head tilt in cats, and the truly impressive head tilts we can see in rabbits. We cover how to assess these patients in the consult room, what to focus on in your clinical exam, how to build a sensible diagnostic plan, and how treatment and prognosis can vary depending on the cause.
We also discuss those tricky decision points—what you can manage in first opinion, what needs further investigation, and when referral is the right call.
If head tilt makes your heart sink a little, or you just want a clearer, more confident approach to these cases, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can use straight away in practice.
