Join Yvonne Brandenburg, RVT, VTS SAIM and Jordan Porter RVT, LVT, VTS SAIM as we talk about:

• We are going back to basics again! This time, we are diving into the immune system; our one true love. We are getting down and dirty with how the immune system should normally work, so we can further discuss what is happening when the immune system is not functioning properly. 

Question of the Week

• Do you have a love for the immune system, or still a slight fear from lack of true understanding?
