This week on In The Vet’s Office, Dr. Josie Horchak is joined by board-certified veterinary surgeon Dr. Marta Agrodnia for an unforgettable deep dive into some of the most intense cases in her surgical career. From removing a 12-pound tumor from a Labrador’s chest that was crushing his esophagus, to diagnosing a football-sized adrenal tumor in a 170-pound bloated Great Dane—Dr. Agrodnia shares how both dogs went on to beat cancer.

They discuss the most common surgeries she performs, including Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), the canine equivalent of ACL surgery. You’ll also hear about cutting-edge treatments for arthritis like Synovetin joint injections, and complex soft tissue surgeries involving mast cell tumors and soft tissue sarcomas.

Dr. Agrodnia also shares a rare and fascinating case involving a monkey with a cancerous arm mass, and the surprising similarities between monkey and human blood supply that made the procedure especially challenging.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Horchak and Dr. Agrodnia explore the emotional realities of veterinary care—including how they respond to the question they hear so often: “What would you do if this was your pet?”

This episode is packed with insight, heart, and extraordinary stories that will forever change the way you see the vet’s office.
