A healthy baby came home, but a young mother never got the chance to raise her child.How does a 26-year-old die of a heart attack after pregnancy? What warning signs are missed? And why are women still being told they are “just tired,” “just anxious,” or “just recovering” when their bodies may be screaming for help?This is the story no new mother, partner, doctor, or family member can afford to ignore.

You skipped the medicine… and now the parasite apocalypse has entered your life.
In this absolutely disgusting, can’t-look-away episode of Itchy & Bitchy, we crawl straight into the nightmare fuel of cats vomiting lungworms; yes, actual lung parasites because somebody decided prevention was optional. What starts as a little cough, a weird gag, or “my cat just seems off” can turn into a full-blown respiratory horror show starring worms, mucus, inflammation, and one very betrayed veterinarian.Doc Itchy and Dr. Stephen Miller break down how lungworms invade and why skipping parasite medication is a setup for chaos. Expect sarcasm, science, gag-worthy parasite talk, and a brutal reminder that “indoor cat” does not always mean “immune from creepy biology.”
