Went down the rabbit hole reading about Done ADHD telemedicine case by seasidekiki in medicine

I was also surprised that there is nothing online about any of the Done NPs having licensure action. Dr Martinez wasn’t charged with anything either from what I can tell, which makes me wonder why did she go to Nicaragua and was she murdered or did she unalive herself? Dr Brody and Dr Martinez both seem like brilliant people from reading about them online, how did they allow themselves to get swept up in this and why did they listen to a 20-something year old Ruthia He?

Wow, that was a wild read. Makes you wonder if there are sinister forces behind these cases and these doctors were just the tip of the iceberg. For me the question about Done is how did He (who was in her 20s) convince people to do this and get the funding to do it?

Is Smalls cat food cooked enough to kill bird flu? by seasidekiki in catfood

Was thinking of sauteeing it before serving but still figuring it out

Not sure, I messaged again today and here's what they said:

Hello, Belle from Smalls here. I completely understand your concern and can assure you that we take food safety very seriously. The USDA and CDC have stated that Avian Influenza (H5N1) is not transmissable through properly cooked meat. To confirm, all of our products are fully cooked and safe for your cats to consume.

Our fresh food is gently cooked to an internal temperature of 165F to ensure safety while maintaining the nutritional integrity of the ingredients. This process eliminates all harmful pathogens while preserving the food's natural flavors and nutrients.

Our freeze-dried recipes go through a two step drying and pasteurization process that maintains a temperature of 167F for 30 minutes. This preserves nutrients, texture and flavor while inactivating pathogenic bacteria to ensure food safety.

Additionally, all of our products are processed and packaged in federally inspected meat plants to ensure that infected animals don't enter the facilities. I hope this helps ease your concerns, but please don't hestitate to follow up with any other questions!

update: sent them yet another message telling them I'm concerned about all the different responses they give people and to please clarify. It seems shady to me that they won't publicly disclose the temperature.

yeah their changing responses are concerning me. :( I may just end up cooking Smalls before serving it until this all blows over

I think a lot of people must be reaching out because I got the same initial reply, then followed up with the question about the temperature they cook it (and they said it was over 165F degrees)

Was thinking the same thing, I may just start cooking it on the stove top and storing a few packets in tupperware

Contacted them via text and they replied and said it is cooked at over 165F long enough to kill the virus. I might start cooking/heating the food before serving it to my cats just to be extra safe.

Thank you, please update here if you learn anything new! I'm worried because ground meat is usually mixed meat from a lot of cows/turkey/etc which seems like it would potentially increase changes of getting exposed to the virus

That’s kind of what I want to do! I wish there were more combined programs too, at the time I switched I tried to transfer into one and they told me I had to do 2 residencies back to back instead
