A highlight from 1249. Catifying Your House With Jackson Galaxy
"Celebrating the connection with our pets, this is Animal Radio, featuring your dream team, veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Just another tremendous show in what happens to be, I believe, the third episode of the season of stars by accident. The what? Well, we usually have the season of stars here on Animal Radio. Yeah, that went a couple months. A couple months. It went almost a year. Yeah, I guess it did. Holy moly, yes. And it's happening again for some reason. All the celebs are coming out. We had Joyce DeWitt on a couple weeks back. Today, Charlotte Ross will be joining us talking about the animals that she loves and has in her world. Next week, country star Lori Morgan will be joining us. And there's rumor that Hilary Swink will be joining us here in the near future. I love her. Oh, don't you though? And they love their animals too. And I know why she's going to be on. And this is going to be very, very, very cool. I just put two and two together here. Good for you. Good for you. You know who's on today? It's Jackson Galaxy, who's the big, he's like the cat whisperer. Yeah, he is. This will be his second or third time, or in Judy's head, maybe his sixth or seventh time. 13th. On Animal Radio. He's actually talking about his new book called Catification, which tells you how to turn your house into a cat friendly. That's cool. Yes. Into a cat house. A cat house. Cat friendly house. Basically, yep. So let's get going right here. What do you got, Tammy? What are you working on today? Well, you know, it's so hard if you have animals to find a place to rent. Everybody knows that and it's so terribly expensive. But there is one city in Northern California that may be putting a stop to landlords saying, no, I won't rent to you because you have a cat, a dog, a guinea pig, a fish, a bird or whatever. Well, I know that happens a lot. Hopefully you'll have answers for us coming up in just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. Joey, what are you working on? Well, you know, I'm going to respond to getting yelled at this week for not getting someone in their holiday appointments that are coming up because we're already booked for the holidays. So I'm going to give people a tip on how to sneak their pets in real easy. You run and you open the door and you throw them in and you close the door and you take off. That usually works, too, but we boot them right back out at that point. Tips with Joey Vellani, the dog father, just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. We welcome Steve to the show. Hi, Steve. Hi, how are you doing? Good. Where are you calling from today? Costa Mesa, California. Costa Mesa. Okay. Listening in Los Angeles. How can we help you? I got the whole team here for you. Yeah, I have a dog. I adopted him about seven years old now. It's a Red Morale Australian Shepherd, purebred. I adopted him about five years ago when he was two from the pound.

"first veterinarian" Discussed on WTOP
"Bears here at the National Zoo. So far two of the pandas Mei Xiong and Tian Tian have been loaded on a FedEx truck set they're calling the Panda Express. Xiao Zhi will be loaded up momentarily then they will head to Dulles International for a 19 -hour flight to accompanying them to zookeepers and one veterinarian from the zoo and 220 pounds of bamboo. Hope they don't get a heavy bag fee. At the National Zoo, Luke Lucert, WTOP News. Yeah they'll get you. In other news DC now has a permanent police chief who faces a wide range of issues. DC 1 Ward Councilmember Brianne Nadeau put it plainly when talking about what's ahead for newly confirmed DC Police Chief Pamela Smith. Public safety is the number one concern for residents right now with an increase in gun violence theft theft and carjackings. Nadeau said along with tackling surge in crime Chief Smith will be expected to address recruitment issues. Even with $25 ,000 signing bonuses MPD struggles to recruit more officers than the amount that leave the force every month. Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen said he's encouraged by Smith's intended approach for in person recruiting. You simply can't do recruitment from behind a keyboard. And so having that type of in person activity that's going to work on recruitment, I think is a very good strategy. Kate Ryan, UTOP News drones will soon be able to help police officers respond to emergencies in Montgomery County. Yesterday, County Council voted unanimously to approve the Drone as First Responder program, which will deploy drones if a 911 dispatcher calls for one. Once the drone arrives at a scene, a pilot can assess any credible threats if more emergency responders are needed and other details to expedite emergency response. Here's Councilmember Natalie Fani Gonzalez. This is not a surveillance use that we're going to be doing here is about reducing the response of police when they need to arrive at a scene. This is not a surveillance use. This way, in my view, is a good thing. The program involves two drones, one for downtown Silver Spring for and one downtown Wheaton. The county already uses a decentralized drone program used to monitor traffic, aid in search and rescue and, if needed, monitor hostage situations. A local immigrant rights group is facing a clash after a statement this week about the Israel -Hamas War. In its now -deleted post, Silver Spring -based Gaza said Israel is conducting systemic ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people and Gaza stands with people the of Palestine. County Council member Andrew Friedson says Gaza must repair the damage its statement created in a community that has long supported Gaza's goals of helping immigrants. I think that it was damaging, I think it was divisive, I think it was destructive, and I think that it needs to be formally retracted. But Gaza did acknowledge that the post caused hurt. It said it would issue another statement soon. Coming up after traffic and weather. The local restaurant that's opened 100 new locations in the last year. I'm Jeff Glabel. 908.

We still have plenty of delays to worry about. Let's start out on the Beltway in Maryland, Prince George's County. Interloop after metro the Greenbelt station. They've had to re -block that right lane for the crash. Your delays begin off a 95 southbound coming to 12 headed past the scene. Your outer loop delay is before Richie Marlboro Road headed past Route 50. That crash has cleared over to the right shoulder. Travel lanes are open. Westbound 50 is still slow from 704. Trying to get onto the outer loop. Outer loop top side of the Beltway delays before New Hampshire Avenue headed around Pash 29 Roseville Road. Inner loop delays off at 270 headed on to southbound Connecticut. Watch for the work near Jones Bridge Road usually on right the side but we're also seeing a delay on the southbound 270 spur from the lane divide. This joins a on delay the outer loop near Old Georgetown Road headed around toward the American Legion Bridge. Keep an eye out in case they're setting up that work that's usually along the right side. Inner loop in Prince George's County delays from St. Barnabas Road toward the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. If you're in Springfield delays onto the outer loop headed past Van Dorn Street with the lanes open or on the inner loop headed past Annandale with the lanes open then delays from 29 in Merrifield headed past 66 and past the Dulles Road Toll but at last check those lanes are open as well. In the district in northeast it is eastbound Riggs Road near Rock Creek Road.

A highlight from 1248. Pet Prenups. Who Gets The Dog?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio, featuring your dream team, veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Dr. Debbie, she practices in Los Angeles. I don't know why she still practices. Los Angeles? I'm sorry. Las Vegas. I was going to say that was a mistake. She practices in Las Vegas, and I don't know why she's still practicing. She really does a fine job. I think she could move on to the actual thing right now, but she can answer your questions because she sees all kinds of weird, strange animals in Las Vegas. And you do see those in Los Angeles too, strange animals. And those are just the people. Yeah, those are two -legged kind. Hi Cheryl. Hi. What's going on with your animals? I have a nine -year -old Jack Russell Terrier that gets carsick. She's a real timid little dog and she gets really nervous in the car and took her on a trip to try it out. It was about a two -and -a -half -hour long trip and she threw up the whole way there. And on her way back she was exhausted, so she slept. But the problem is we were going to go on a vacation for about four days, and in the past we had another dog that we had to put down a couple months ago, and we would just leave them both at home and have someone come in and take care of them several times a day. And that worked out fine, but we really didn't want to leave her alone. And she's never really been kenneled. So I guess my question is, is there anything you can do for the car sickness? I believe it's caused by her getting really nervous. Yeah, yeah, definitely. There are things we can do for pets that have this problem, but you brought up a good point there is that for some pets it's truly a motion sickness problem, but for others it's really more of an anxiety -driven problem. And we can treat for motion sickness, but if they've got anxiety or fear for car travel, then it doesn't necessarily help them. So the first thing is to really kind of figure out which situation it is. If the sight of your car or just sitting in the car gets your dog salivating and gets them worked up, then we might be dealing more with an anxiety problem. Then if they're happy -go -lucky, they're in the car for a while, and then they get sick, that might be more of a motion sickness. So first thing is really the main way to treat this is to really condition the pet for car travel. So that's basically going to mean that we're going to slowly work up to exposures in the car and preferably not take them for that to our car ride until they are actually acclimated to the car. So we want to start really baby steps. So we get them maybe close to the car, we treat them, we give them goodies, we make it a pleasant experience, then we work up to opening the car door, making them sit in the car seat, coming back out, and then gradually turning on the car with the pet in it to actually going down the driveway. And as we do this, we're only doing little steps. So if at any point the pet shows fear, anxiety, or gets sick to their stomach, we stop because we're not going to win anything by trying to battle through it. We want to make it short, good exposures and make that car become a great thing that they become accustomed to. So that's how we work through that aspect. And eventually we build up to longer and longer exposures within the car. Now to do that, you might need some other tools to help you. And there's some kind of natural steps we might try. And then there's going to be also some different types of medications that we can look at. So if we're looking at a pet that has true motion sickness, I'm going to go for more or like Dramamine a drug called Cerenia. Both of those, you can talk to your veterinarian about the right doses, and they can be helpful for a lot of pets with car travel.

"Celebrating the connection with our pets, this is Animal Radio featuring your dream team veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani and here are your hosts Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Ah, boo! You scared? No. Okay. Happy Halloween to you and all of your animals. There you go. Yes. We'd love to hear from you today. We can talk to Dr. Debbie or dog father Joey Vellani and we'd love to see their pictures of your costumed animals over at our Facebook page. So make sure that you upload those along with your videos over there. We're going to head to the phones for your calls right now but first let's find out what's going on in the newsroom. Ms. Lori Brooks, what are you working on? You know we're all big animal supporters here and there is yet a new study out that talks about the benefits of having animals with children specifically in the classroom. This is like far from the days of when I was a kid and our classroom pet was an ant farm. But I did love that ant farm and I used to take that home during the summer and well just one summer because, well, they didn't come back home. Hi. Who is this? You talking with me? I'm talking to you. You talking to me? I'm talking to you. I'm not talking to you. Okay. I'm Lucy. Hi Lucy. How you doing? I'm doing good. Where are you calling?

A highlight from 1246. Cat Thwarts Suicide
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio featuring your dream team veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani and here are your hosts Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Well it is very ghoulish in here today. All of the animals dressed up in their Halloween costumes and we ought to just get a group picture or a picture of some of these animals and put them up on the website because it is so absolutely adorable. Most of them like it. Except I think Nick Nicky is having trouble with. There is nothing going on in that gal's head. She just did not want to wear a hat. And who can blame her. You know some animals really get into this holiday and then some you know would rather just be curled up underneath the couch during that time because everything looks foreign to them and it kind of freaks them out. They can be freaked out real easy. Yeah I know my cat. I have a headband with horns and I can sit right there and look at him and I put the headbands on and he arches up and I take him off and he sits back down. I put the headband on and he arches up. Yeah Nicky she has a thing where we walk through the neighborhood neighbors put up a lot of those little fake gravestones and the ghouls crawling and she every year she gets really just disturbed and it takes her a couple times of walking around the neighborhood to see this until she realizes they're really not crawling out of the earth to get her. Now of course this is a busy time of the year at the office for you because of all of the candy and all the crap that the dogs ingest right? Yeah well there's a lot of not just the chocolate but the other candy so you know dog that eats lollipops. You know there's things like the physical hazards of the foreign objects of having a lollipop stick in their stomach. So we see that kind of thing and then just you know the sweets. There's so many different things when when kids have those things and they have them around their toys then those toys might even smell like sweets and then I've seen it happen in my own household where anything next to the candy was ingested because it has that strong odor. So they really can get into a lot of foreign object ingestions as well as you know the risk of the candy. Not just chocolate but don't they you know that fake sweetener what is that Xylitol? Xylitol yeah so and a lot of people think that giving sugar -free gum is a great alternative to these sweets to kids but a lot of the sugar -free gums contain Xylitol which is very toxic and actually believe it or not one piece of this can actually kill a dog. Hi Ellen. Hi how are you? Good where are you calling from today? I'm calling from Clearwater Florida. Clearwater Florida you had that kind of New York accent. Did you go from New York? Ah that's what I thought.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Praying Evangelistically
"I want to invite you to give attention to the study of God's Word. We're going to be building on what we talked about last week, and we're going to talk about this morning about how to pray for evangelism, or if we go with Adam's title, praying evangelistically. So that's what we want to talk about this morning. Last week we talked about the motives for evangelism. And if you were with us, you remember that the Great Commission is obviously our mandate and our reason for being here on planet Earth. Frankly, we can do everything that we do here better in glory. And the reason that we are here is to bear witness to the glories of Jesus Christ who saved us. If it was really all about us, then as soon as we got saved, what would be the best thing for us to have happen? We would immediately die and go to heaven, immediately be translated into heaven. Why has God chosen to leave us here? That is to bear witness to him and to point people to him. Part of the means by which he has decreed to bring in his elect is the preaching of the gospel by those of us who have been saved. You can add to that absolute mandate that Christ has given us to go into all the world and make disciples. You can add to that the certainty of eternal judgment. God is going to judge the living and the dead. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There was no one righteous, not even one. And if God had not come in the person of Jesus Christ to die for us, he would still, still have every right to condemn every one of us, everybody that's ever been born, because of our sin. I used to call it the extra point verse because before I was saved, that was what the card that everybody put up in between the uprights before you kick an extra point. And that is John 3 .16 or John 3 .3. And I can remember as a kid even going and looking that up a few times and going, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, but not connecting the dots. What's really fascinating to me is once I got saved and I actually started to read things in context, John 3 .16 says, for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but might have eternal life. What everybody skips is the next couple of verses where it says, God didn't send the son into the world to judge the world because the world stood condemned already. If God had done nothing, then we would all be condemned. That's what makes it good news. That's why it's called the gospel. The good news is God has not left us in our fallen condition, helpless only do wrath for the accumulation of all of our sins. God actually took action and entered into his creation, willingly laid his life down for us. God demonstrated his love toward us and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. And he made a way for us to be reconciled to him as Jesus hung on the cross and he fulfills the last of the scriptures in John 19. We're told that he says, Hey, Telestai, it is accomplished or finished or complete. And then he yielded up his life. He willingly gave up his life so that we could be reconciled to him. Listen, that's the God we serve. That's the God who saved us, the God who willingly yielded himself up and took upon himself the fullness of God's wrath due to us for our sins so that we could be reconciled to him. Now, that's a pretty amazing story. That's that's pretty awesome news. Would you agree? If you're a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, this is this is the message. This is the truth that continues to reverberate through your soul and just leave you with with wonder and praise. Why would God save a wretch like me? Why would God ever choose to save me? Why would he ever have an interest in in and have a relationship with me? Even David, the sweet psalmist, I don't have this in my notes, but Albert started us a minute late anyway. So this counts against his time. But in Acts chapter, excuse me, Acts Psalms, Psalm eight. David is talking about how great God is. And, you know, he's the man after God's own heart, right? And he says, Oh, Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have displayed your splendor above the heavens from the mouth of infants and nursing babes. You have established strength because of your adversaries to make the enemy and the revengeful cease. And when I consider that your heavens, the work of your fingers, when I look at creation, the moon and the stars which you have ordained. Here's what I ask. What is man that you take thought of him and the son of man that you care for him? Why do you give a single thought to any one of us? When I consider that creation, when I look at it and see how big and wonderful it is, the one thing that I can't help but ask is why, God, why would you take any note of me? And yet he has. He absolutely has. And he took such note of me that he came and died for me so that I could be reconciled to him. That's the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And if you have been saved by his grace. Then you should be filled with so much love and wonder and appreciation for him and that you become more and more like him, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, who looked out at all of the people. And he felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. I think the one thing, especially as Americans, I think the one thing that we are inclined to do is look at other people and look down on them. And unfortunately, I think one of the things that we are all too often ready to do, as Christians, even is look at the unsaved around us and look forward just to the day when we don't have them. And yet when Jesus was here, surrounded even by his enemies, he did good to those who mocked him and persecuted him. Even those who nailed him to the cross and hung him up. He said, Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. Now, you look at the people around you that are lost, the people around you that do not have Christ. How how can you be one who identifies yourself as a sinner, saved by grace, reconciled to God and not have a compassion and a concern for their eternal destiny? How can you be hard hearted and wall off your soul from the realization of their heavy plight? You know, just this week, my daughter started working at a veterinarian clinic or whatever it's called. And she works at a vet's office now. And she came home and she said, I got to tell you something, dad. I said, Is this a sad story? And she says, Well, no, but yes. And then she goes to tell me about how and I'm doing it to you just like she did to us. Yes. So she goes to tell me this story about how a guy's wife died. And after a couple of weeks, he had to bring her cat in because it wouldn't eat and just was slowly dying, missing his wife. And so he had. And so my wife tears up. I will not admit to tearing up, but it was just, you know, now tell me something. Did your heart just shrink a little bit when I told you that little story? OK. Now, cats are superior to dogs. Everybody knows that, but they're still not people, despite what they think. OK. And how how we can look at fellow human beings, fellow people, is that are bearers of the image of God, just like you and me. People who are every bit as worthy of eternal condemnation as we were. OK, who need Christ just as much as we did. How can you look at them and not have your heart go out? Not be motivated to share the good news with them.

He's an animal lover. He's got some cats. Cats? He's a Persian cat guy. Persian? I just don't picture him as a Persian cat guy. I know, huh? I can't wait to talk to him. But that'll be a flashback to the 70s for me at least. Remember the song Can't You See? Remember that? Sure you do. See, I heard it in a love song is mine. Everybody has their favorite Marshall Tucker Band song. He'll be joining us in just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. And Joey Volani, what will you be talking about? Smelly face dogs, you know, really stinky faces and how to deal with it quick and easy and get rid of the staining. And we move on from there. If you have a smelly face dog, and this will work on your husband, too. If he's a smelly faced husband, this tip, I believe, is kind of universal. You can use it all. Or smelly cat. Smelly cat. Smelly cat. Let's go to Ron. Hey, Ron, how are you doing? Okay, how are you? Good. Volani's right here. What's up with your dog? Oh, I have a German Shepherd that I got directly from the breeder as a puppy. Run, run, run, run, run, stop, stop, please. If you were the woman, I would kiss you right now. No, no, not again.

"Celebrating the connection with our pets, this is Animal Radio. Featuring your dream team, veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. And when you hop onto an airplane, you probably don't think that there's a dog somewhere doing work to help you take off. You know, you see the little baggage handlers out your window, they're loading luggage and you see the flight attendants getting all ready for the flight and the people checking you in at the airport. But yeah, there might be a dog that's actually helping you get from one location to another. We're going to find out what that's all about today here on Animal Radio. Very excited about that. Also on the show today, we've been doing this for over 18 years now. Hard to believe. And over the last 18 years, we've had some incredible guests on the show. And this week, we're introducing the Animal Radio Flashback. And on this week's show, you will hear an interview that we did several years ago with one of the top, if not the most popular cartoon voices in the world. Anyone want to take a guess at that? I know who it is. Scooby? No, the world. I mean, retro. No, no, no, no. I know who it is. And it's not Mickey Mouse. But I can't, I don't know how to mimic it. That's coming up in just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. What are you working on over there, Laurie? Well, I have some information on the bucket list dog, Smoke, that we told you about last week. That hound who was at the shelter and had developed a bucket list. Oh, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, we have an update for you. And also, police in one state are saying that they believe that perhaps rescuing a pig might be better than, in this case, buying a burglar alarm.

A highlight from 1243. Should You Trust Pet DNA Tests?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets, this is Animal Radio featuring your dream team, veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer, Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Do you know what kind of pet you have? Well, certainly if it's a cat or dog, you probably know the difference. But do you know what kind of breed? Is it a mutt? What is making up the DNA of your dog or your cat? And do you care? A lot of people do. There's about 10 different tests on the market right now where you can send in saliva or cheek spittle, I guess? Yeah, cheek swab. It's actually the epithelial. So it's the cells that you're getting off the cheek, not necessarily the spit. Epithelial? Is that what you said there? I learned so much from you. And they'll tell you if it's what kind of breed it is or if it's made up of several different breeds. You did this, Judy. I think your results came back like lion and elephant. They weren't even dogs. It was so bizarre. She's full grown now. She weighs nine pounds. And it came back all these St. Bernard's, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois. I thought, really? So that was a cheek swab. And then when I did the blood... Oh, you did a blood test too? I did a blood. It came back Jack Russell, miniature pincher and Maltese. And are you going with that? Oh, definitely. She's definitely Jack Russell. It came out 50 % Jack Russell. And that's what she is. Now, why did you want to know this information? Well, first of all, I didn't want a Jack Russell because I did my research and I know how hyper they are. And I'm not that hyper person. I want a more laid back dog. And so I did my research and got her from a rescue when she was eight weeks old. They said she was a Chihuahua, but there was no Chihuahua in this girl. And I questioned that as she got a little bit older. And I thought, okay, I got to find out. And I wanted to know what she was because people ask, people look at her, and everybody had their guesses. And it's like, I don't know. And I wanted to know what my dog was. But would it be safe to say you didn't want a Jack Russell, but you love your dog? Oh, I would not trade her for the world. I'll keep that little 50 % Jack. So the blood test really made little difference in anything, really, except telling people. Just what it was. It was kind of like bragging rights to know what my dog is and be able to say when people ask. That's basically why I did it. But then again, still, at least I know if there's anything I should look at, you know, with the breeds that she may be predisposed to down the line. You mean like a sickness or a disease? Health? Yeah. If she starts doing something or something happens and I can say, well, that's typical of this breed. So what kind of diseases and sicknesses are typical of, what did you say? Was it Jack Russell? Jack Russell, 50%. And a Min Pin? Well, we can see a lot of things with knees, so we can see patellar luxations. She's had two knee surgeries, two back legs. But that also fits with a lot of other small breeds. But, you know, there can be some host of skin diseases, allergies that we may not have like a specific test for. You know, but there are some conditions in some breeds, like say golden retrievers have a genetic linked with seizures. So if you had a yellow large breed dog and you didn't know what it was and it started developing seizures. And if I knew this dog was a golden retriever, I'd say, wow, you know, sometimes golden retrievers can be very challenging to manage with seizures. And we really have to use every means at our disposal to try to get those seizures under control. So it wouldn't change necessarily, you know, would I treat or not treat, but it might make us say, okay, our expectations are this is going to be a more challenging patient to try to manage. So that's one example. But there's a whole tons of things, you know, cataracts are inherited, heart diseases with certain breeds can be inherited, and kidney problems with cats. There's a type of polycystic kidney disease, a kidney disease in Himalayans and Persian type cats that can cause different problems. So, you know, there's all sorts of things that there are genetic tests for. It doesn't mean your dog or cat will get them. It just may mean they have some genetic tendency or genetic marker for that. So I see these online tests and but you do it in your office there? Do veterinarians offer these tests? Yeah, I mean, not everyone is going to do that. But we we do like that. And it's one is it's kind of the ooh, cool factor, you know, so you can, you know, have a party and people will ask and you can actually have some answer that sounds, you know, like you didn't just make this up. That's one important thing. But I do think it can help guide some decisions on awareness and potentially your pet's health down the road. So I wouldn't say it will make me do something different for a patient as far as putting them to sleep. But I do think it's important information to be armed with to know what you need to worry about to watch for in your pet's life. I agree. And if you can't afford it and somebody asks what kind of dog you have, say snuffle up against it really will throw the middle. It'll be different. So we're going to talk to a lady today, a doctor, Dr. Lisa Moses. She practices pain and palliative care at the Angel Animal Medical Center in Boston. And she says you may not want to bet the farm when you do one of these tests, as sometimes the information may not be accurate. And I wanted to find out about this. How important is it? Are people making decisions with bad information? So we'll have her on the show in just a few minutes to talk about that. Also today, we're going to be talking to the folks over at Smoke Alarm Monitoring. What's this guy's name? It's spelled really weird. Z -S -O -L -T. Zolt. Is that Hungarian? What is that? Sounds like it could be. He says our pets are starting fires. He sells smoke alarms for a living. And he says that our pets are actually, while they're unattended, starting fires in our house. See, I hide the matches. You do? Little delinquents. Oh my goodness. Yes. What do you expect? But first, your calls toll free from the free animal radio app for iPhone and Android. Let's go to Gary. Hey, Gary. How are you? I'm very good, sir. How are you? Very good. Where are you calling from today? You have kind of that southern twang. North Carolina. North Carolina. How is North Carolina today? It's kind of warm. It's not unbearably hot, but it's a warm day. What's going on with the animals? I have the whole team here for you. Okay. Well, I've been listening to your program lately over the last several weeks and was interested in the discussion that I've heard about yeast infections, skin conditions, and the treatments. And then also, there was also somewhat of a separate discussion about the use of human products on animals and how effective they can be, or harmful, or whatever the case may be. And I wanted to tell you about my little guy. I'll give you a little background on him, a little of the tale of the tape. He's approximately eight years old, as far as we know. He's a Yorkie mix, he's a small guy, just a shade under eight pounds, and I found him abandoned out in the country. And he was in pretty bad shape. He was missing hair and had a lot of parasites and skin infections, yeast, and all that. And we've been battling it for nearly three years now, but he's made much improvement, just great improvement. I kind of took it upon myself to use a product that's designed for human females, actually, who might have that kind of affliction, and rubbed it liberally on the elephant skin areas of my dog. And after doing that for three or four days in a row, it really seemed to help clear it up. What do you think of that, Doc? Well, we have to be precise when we talk about different products, because there's some products that actually can have harmful ingredients in them, and some won't hurt, and actually have active ingredients that might be appropriate. So I'm going to back up, because when we talk about elephant skin, and kind of that thickened skin, like for anybody who's not seen this in dogs, it typically is when their skin gets real thick, leathery, they lose the hair in the area, and it actually, from a distance, looks like elephant skin. And that's a combination of what we call hyperpigmentation, so the skin turns dark, and lichenification, which is where the skin becomes thick, and there's extra layers, if you will, that kind of are put on top of the skin. Those things happen from a couple possibilities, and we can see it with allergies, but really with things like yeast and bacterial infections. So it sounds like you're certainly barking up the right tree there, but the cautions I have with some of the female yeast products that are used for vaginal yeast infections, there are some that actually contain anesthetics. A vagus cell, for example, contains an ingredient called benzocaine. And this can be highly - Well, that's actually what I used. I used the generic, but yeah, you're on the right tree there. Okay. Yeah, so actually, benzocaine can cause toxicities in both dogs and cats. So just licking it off their skin, it can actually be toxic to the red blood cells, causes what we call hemoglobinemia. So if it contains that ingredient, I would say, put it back on the shelf and save it for your wife in the household. But there are certainly, say, athlete's foot creams that contain chlorotrimazole, which is an antifungal. In that, we've used that on surface yeast infections. But the reality is, if we've got that kind of change in the skin, most of those pets actually need kind of a two -pronged approach. So the topicals only get you so far, and they really need to be on some kind of oral or systemic therapy. So most of the pets that I have with that kind of skin can take a course of maybe three months to get them improved, controlling the itch, controlling the infection. If they've got yeast or bacteria, then we put them on either an antibiotic or an oral yeast form, like ketoconazole, per se.

A highlight from 1242. Turning Your Pet Into A Social Media Influencer. Wise Words From An Expert.
"Celebrating the connection with our pets, this is Animal Radio, featuring your dream team, veterinarian, Dr. Debbie White and groomer, Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. If you're like Judy, you spend a lot of time online, social media, going through videos. You'll spend like an hour a day maybe just watching. I just get down a rabbit hole, you watch one and then another one pops up, oh, I got to see that. And it's like, oh, look at this one. And they're all animal or pet related. Is that mostly it? Yeah, I won't watch. I don't know if I'm not interested in the other ones. Yeah, sure. Sure. Yeah. So in your life, who would you say is the biggest social media influencer for you? What animal do you maybe even follow? You know what? I'm not a follower. In fact, no. And I like watching both cat and dog videos. So I don't really hone in on a certain animal and like follow that particular animal. I'm kind of like, I watch them all. Have you ever seen, I'm going to hold up a picture here. Have you ever seen this animal here? This is, this is Loki. I hadn't seen Loki. Again, I don't follow any certain animals if I happen to come across a video, but I don't, I don't, I, yeah. He's beautiful. Loki is, what kind of dog is Loki? He's like some kind of a Malamute wolf hybrid. Like a wolf. I'm not quite sure. He's a big dog. This particular picture that I'm holding up to the microphone is Loki and his guardian, Kelly. They're sitting in a hammock. You may have seen this picture. It's a picture that he just casually posted on his Instagram page. And then, uh, the people over at Bored Panda saw it, wanted to do an interview with him. Buzzfeed picked it up. Eventually he realized that his dog was becoming extremely popular online. And he decided after about a year after this picture went out to quit his job and focus on promoting his animal online to become a social media sensation. We're going to find out how he's doing on that and whether or not we should quit our jobs to become ladybugs. Yeah. Well, she has a Facebook page. It's not very popular. Maybe she needs to post more. Well, I just, you know, everybody go to her Facebook page and like her right now. So we're going to talk to this Kelly Lund coming up here. He's the guardian of Loki and we're going to find out what his secret is to becoming a viral sensation. Also on the show today. And in this hour, we're going to talk to Fiona Gilbert. Fiona, do you need to get that? I'm expecting a call from my pharmacist. Can we, can you just make sure? Cause I'm, I have to pick something up and I'm just waiting for them to call and say it's ready. So can you just check that? Thank you. Coming up this hour, Fiona Gilbert will be joining us. She has MS unfortunately, and she has a service dog to help her with her MS. What kind of dog is that there? It's a pit bull. It is a, it is a pit bull. Surprise, surprise. Well now how can that be? I mean a pit bull service dog? Is there such a thing as a pit bull service dog? Why not? Well, I guess not. Why not? I do know that Delta or American Airlines just banned service animals that happened to be pit bulls. I do know that in Denver it is illegal to have a pit bull. That's just wrong. That is wrong. I bet Fiona has a bone to pick with Delta Airlines. I'm guessing that. Or her dog does. Okay, we're going to find out about her service dog, her pit bull coming up here on Animal Radio. Lori, what are you working on for this hour? You were just a minute ago Hal talking about social media and Loki and everything. Well, I have for you a new list from Forbes. They did, I love this word influencers because I had never really heard of it before. I just thought, you're famous on social media. If you're famous on social media, you're an influencer. So Forbes had this edition where they had the top 10 people influencers, the top 10 chef influencers and on and on with everything. And they did a list on pets. So pets on social media. So I will tell you the most famous pets or influencers on social media. When Forbes is involved, there must be money involved. Of course. Okay. That list on the way. First year calls. Let's go to Wanda. Hi Wanda. Hi. How are you doing? Very good. I have the whole dream team here to answer your questions. What's going on with your pets? Okay. I have Dachshund miniature pincher mix. She's having skin problems. I switched vets like four times and they always said that it's yeast, airborne yeast. And they give her shots and she goes okay for two weeks. But then they give her prednisone. That makes her eat a lot. She still eating and she still have the yeast and she still have the smell. Okay. Yeah. I don't know what to do. So has she had any money in the beds? Okay. And have we used any medicine that specifically geared towards the yeast, either by a pill form or by a shampoo or a topical form? Well, they give me Mariset. Okay. And I have to bathe her every other day, but sometimes I can tell you the truth. I don't have time and it's cold and she gets very cold. I'll give her a bath every other day. Okay. And is that it or are they using any pills for that other than the prednisone? No. They give me Apoquel. Apoquel, she still eating and then the doctor say I will then give her Benadryl. Okay. So I'm going to kind of make some interpretations of what you've said and what I think may be the direction that your veterinarian is going here. So if your pet has yeast on the skin, the important thing to know about that is that yeast is generally not the primary problem. It's a secondary problem. So there's usually something else that's making that skin barrier unhealthy where the yeast can really grow and proliferate. So if they're using things like prednisone and Apoquel, it sounds like they're suspicious that she has an underlying allergy. So those medicines are geared towards the allergy. But the sad thing is if we use that and don't address infection and treat it with the medications for those conditions, we're really not going to get anywhere. So we're going to think that, you know, the medicine isn't working for allergies when we're really just not treating a bacterial infection or say a yeast infection that could be present. So what my consideration, and I'd ask you to talk to your veterinarian if this seems fair and like a direction that they would agree with, is that if we have yeast in the skin and it's chronic, especially if it creates some of the different symptoms I see with yeast, and I should mention those, yeast in the skin will often cause a really stinky foot odor. It smells like old man foot. I have to wash my bed and everything every day. Yeah. So it's a real strong smell. The dogs will often have kind of a greasy feel to them in those areas. And in some cases when it's present for chronic long -term periods of time, we'll actually get a thickening of the skin and it'll become kind of darkly pigmented and what almost I describe as elephantinized. So it kind of becomes like elephant skin. She had that in her tail, but then I gave her and gave and went away. Okay. So yeah, so that definitely, if those kinds of things are going on, then yeast is very suspicious. We usually confirm that by taking a sample from the skin and looking and you know, yeast show up pretty easy on an impression smear. So the thing I would ask you to talk to your veterinarian about is, can we use something systemic for her, for this yeast? And that might mean a couple different possible medicines, but they basically all fall under the category of an antifungal medicine, such as ketoconazole or itraconazole, or even one called terbenafene. Any of those are used with yeast infections, whether it be in the ears or say in the skin. So that would be something, and it does take a long period of time. We might get some improvement after maybe a week or two, but many times this is something that we have to treat for many weeks to months. So that would be something where, you know, I would definitely talk to them about that. The other thing is, you know, definitely the maliceb that you're using is certainly an appropriate one if we're suspicious of yeast, but there can be even some other things that we can use topically as well, as far as different types of mousses or sprays that we can use that contain either say chlorhexidine, which is a type of an antiseptic, or miconazole, which is an anti -yeast topical. So those can be things that we can add into the regimen. But I think the good thing in your situation is there is some things that I can suggest for you to try, and the big thing is sticking with it, because it really does take, I had just like a bald, kind of darkly skinned, very little hair. It only had hair on the tip of its tail and around its head, and it took four months of yeast therapy that we treated, and it finally got most of its hair back. It never did get all of it back, because it was so scarred, but it can really be very rewarding. You just kind of have to trek through it. So yeah, with her, she's black. When people see her and they tell me, why are you taking it? Because her top hair of her body is black, shiny, so pretty. It's just under the legs, on her stomach, at her four paws, and under the tail. You know, they don't have it, she doesn't have it anyplace else. And I bathe her, I bathe her, she's my baby. Yeah, well, and yeast is horribly itchy. Any human knows that. So it's a miserable thing. So definitely, and even some other kind of anti -itch remedies, you know, that we can use. I am using a lot of the canine atopic dermatitis immunoglobulin called CADI, and that helps a lot just to kind of stop the itch, to give pets relief while we're dealing with all the other things. Yes, I don't want to bite. I know that the steroids, they're going to hurt her a long time. And I say, what I'm giving to her is she's not going to be improving. That's why I hear you every morning. And I say on Sundays, and I say, I'm going to call because maybe I can go to the vet with some knowledge and say, hey, give me the yeast infection medication, take her away from the prednisone. Absolutely. And that makes it harder. The prednisone definitely makes it harder for her to fight these infections. So if we use it sparingly, just to kind of help relieve it, and then yeah, get her off that. I agree totally. So she needs to go to the vet and ask for something systematic. Is that right? Systemic. Systemic. A systemic and a yeast medicine. Yes, a yeast medicine. I will do that. Hopefully we can get her some good help and I wish you guys the best. Let us know how things turn out and hopefully we'll get her feeling and looking better and smelling better too. Thanks Wanda.

A highlight from 1241. What Does It Mean When Your Favorite Drinking Buddy Is The Cat?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio featuring your dream team veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani and here are your hosts Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. I'm going to go ahead and set the scene right now. Dr. Debbie is chowing down or drinking a drink I guess it's kombucha is that what you call that? Kombucha, yeah! It's a fabulous fermented drink that's got a little bit of vinegar it. to Any alcohol in it? Technically there's a warning on there yeah so but it's not like you drink it to get you know lit it's just it's just a natural process of the fermentation releases alcohols. Can I just say it looks absolutely disgusting. It is there's a sludge at the bottom and so you have to stir it but that's where the good stuff's at. You want that. Are there any redeeming factors of kombucha for animals? Can animals drink kombucha? You know because of the alcohol in there I've never heard of it actually being safe for for dogs but you know if we could develop one for dogs that would be appropriate. I guess the first thing would be would they like it because most kombuchas are kind of citrusy flavored or they have like you know different kind of additives to them that may not be appealing on the canine palette so we might have to find ways to make that a doggy attractant. I don't know. So there's no beef or chicken kombucha? Heck no. I wouldn't drink that. Is it good? Do you drink it because it's good for you? Yeah it's got a lot of live bacterial cultures that are good for your digestive tract. So it's actually in my opinion is better than yogurt because you can't get this amount of active cultures from just eating yogurt without the calories. This is awesome stuff. It's like 50 to 60 calories for a bottle. What about probiotics for pets because there's lots of those out there. That's true yeah and I think that there's a lot of probiotics out there. We just don't really know what cultures are necessarily the best cultures for dogs or cats or people even. I think they're still really looking at that and saying plus there's the problem of getting the probiotic in through the digestive tract and not have it digested. So there's got to be this kind of gets past the stomach and can actually do its work in the digestive tract so not all probiotics are the same. So where do you get this? Do you make it or do you buy it? Some people make it and I just buy it at the health food store, the grocery store. You could buy it everywhere now but it's definitely good for the gut and you know part of your immune system. So it's good for everything. I'm thinking about six years ago when you first came on to animal radio you used to come in with a diet Pepsi one. Yeah I've kind of evolved I'd say. Things have changed. You know who we're going to have on the show today is a lady who makes cocktails for animals for dogs and cats. Okay. I know this it sounds a little strange to me. Alcoholic? Well it's a pet winery and I don't think there's any alcohol involved. No there's no alcohol in it. I have a Fetch Me Noir and it looks like a bottle of wine. It really does. I have a Meow Sling and that Meow Sling looks like one of those little shots that you'd get on the airplane. And I also have a purgandy, a Fetch Me Grigio, a dog teeny, a cat teeny. A dog teeny and a cat teeny. Yeah about everything. I don't understand. So you can include your pets if you're having a party and do it in a safe way. Exactly. So for the holidays you're coming up you can pour a little martini gliese with a little bit of the puppy liquor in there and it'd be a safe alternative. They even have a bark brew if you know if your dog likes prefers beer instead. This is Barktober right? There you go. We're going to talk to this lady who's invented this stuff is that correct? She's coming up in just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. What are you working on over there in the newsroom Lori? Got a very interesting story. How you you could think you have food poisoning but it's really your puppy that's making you sick. Okay it's your turn to reach out to Dr. Debbie right now in this portion of Animal Radio brought to you by Fear Free Happy Homes. Helping your pets live their happiest, healthiest, fullest lives at home, at the vet, everywhere in between. Visit them at fearfreehappyhomes .com and thanks Fear Free for underwriting Animal Radio.

A highlight from 1238. 5 Signs You Need To Get To The Vet ASAP!
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio, featuring your dream team, veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Well here we are once again. I'm having so much fun. Today I'm going to learn how to pill a dog or a cat without getting my knuckles bit off or anything like that. No, suppositories. Yeah, Doc Halligan is going to help me with that in just a couple of minutes right here on Animal Radio. Also on the show today, veterinary correspondent Dr. Marty Becker and he'll tell you the five things that if you see them in your dog, you need to get to a vet immediately because it's an emergency. So that's all in the way. Hi, who's this? Hi, this is Fran. You are on with Dr. Debbie. What's going on in your life? Well hi, Dr. Debbie. My son brought home on August 8th, they brought home a puppy and about two days after they brought the puppy home, she got really sick. They took her to the vet emergency room and the vet there said she had tested positive week for the parvo virus. I've never heard of parvo before. So they gave her some amoxicillin for two weeks and some other medicines and they enter home with my son. I'm a truck driver. I got home on a Tuesday that would have been the 12th and I brought some penicillin and I gave her a shot of penicillin on the 12th and on the 13th. After that, she did quite well. She's doing really good. She's eating really good, running around the house now. But I have some questions because like I said, I really don't know anything about this. Yeah, and I'm going to back up a little bit and ask you a couple of questions here. What's the puppy's name? Mary Jane. Mary Jane. All right. And what breed is she? Well, we either think she is full -blooded German Shepherd or she's Dolby German Shepherd mix. We're not sure. Okay. And how old is she? Well, we believe she's either two or three months. I don't think she's more than that because she still has a baby teeth. Okay. All right. Well, and do you know much of anything about her background? Where she came from? If she had any puppy shots before you got her? She had no puppy shots before we got her. The only thing we really know about the background is there was six in the litter and two of them have died from this parvo. One was very sick and in the hospital and one was healthy as can be. We don't know about the other one. And you said they did test Mary Jane for the parvo and she tested positive. Is that correct? The doctor said positive weak. Are weak positive? Okay. I don't know what that meant. It's kind of somewhat something we look at because if there's a possibility Mary Jane was just vaccinated prior to testing, sometimes we can get a weak positive. And that's why I was kind of trying to get some of that information out because that can make it very confusing. And I see that a lot of times when people suspect their dog might have parvo and they bring it into the vet and we vaccinate it and they don't tell us they think it's sick and it can make the interpretation of a test difficult. So that's why I wondered if whoever had her beforehand had done any kind of preventative care in that way. But we can also get a weak parvo test doesn't mean that they have a little bit of disease versus a lot of disease. What it means is that we're not shedding a lot of the virus and that's kind of how we pick it up on that test is we take unfortunately a little Q -tip up the backside and we test for the amount of viral particles there. So if a pet has the virus but it's not really shedding a lot in their poop, we don't pick up a lot in the test. It could be a weak positive test, whereas there are some dogs that shed tremendous loads of virus and that test is just a flaring positive right away. So that's just what kind of that, giving them an explanation on that.

"We've had our cat to the veterinarian over the course of the last month or so. Having some problems, she wasn't eating, she was having some problems throwing up, and the doctor figured out she has a thyroid problem, so she gave us some medication. Now, of course, we had different ways to go. We could have a pill, we could have shots, or we could have some ointment to rub in the ears. We started off rubbing the ears, but found that it dried her ears out, and she didn't like it. You could just tell she was very irritated. So I went back to the doctor, and she said, well, you're not getting enough medication in, let's switch to a pill. Now, my wife decided we're going to finally then go out and buy some wet cat food, so we started crushing the pill up in the food, and it was working great for about three or four days. And then she was on to us, and she stopped eating. She'd go up to it, and you could watch her sniff it, kind of take a lick, and nope, that doesn't taste right, I'm not eating it. Having done that with three or four cats before, it's not fun, it's not easy, and I don't think it's going to work well with us. It's kind of tough when you're trying to feed medicine to cats. Dogs, I guess, are easier, though. You can put it in cheese, you can put it in peanut butter, they don't care, they'll eat anything. Cats are much more finicky, and that's impressive.

And then she was on to us, and she stopped eating. She'd go up to it, and you could watch her sniff it, kind of take a lick, and nope, that doesn't taste right, I'm not eating it. Having done that with three or four cats before, it's not fun, it's not easy, and I don't think it's going to work well with us. It's kind of tough when you're trying to feed medicine to cats. Dogs, I guess, are easier, though. You can put it in cheese, you can put it in peanut butter, they don't care, they'll eat anything. Cats are much more finicky, and that's impressive.

"We've had our cat to the veterinarian over the course of the last month or so. Having some problems, she wasn't eating, she was having some problems throwing up, and the doctor figured out she has a thyroid problem, so she gave us some medication. Now, of course, we had different ways to go. We could have a pill, we could have shots, or we could have some ointment to rub in the ears. We started off rubbing the ears, but found that it dried her ears out, and she didn't like it. You could just tell she was very irritated. So I went back to the doctor, and she said, well, you're not getting enough medication in, let's switch to a pill.

Animal Radio
A highlight from 1237. Black Dog Syndrome - Using Pets To Teach Anti-Bullying
"Celebrating the connection with our pets this is Animal Radio featuring your dream team veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani and here are your hosts Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Okay I want you to look into your wallets or your phone either one right now and if all of the pictures in there are of your cat or your dog or your ferret or whatever animal you have you found the right show this is it Animal Radio. We're all just as crazy about our animals as you are and we have Dr. Vitts crazy like over the we're certified we're lucky to have a radio show but they said animals why not you know few of us have animals in fact about 68 percent of households have animals and if you don't what are you waiting for the shelters are just waiting for you to come on down and meet some beautiful animals that will capture your hearts and you can take them home with you and have a brand new forever friend. I just kind of sort of went off on a tangent there. Yeah you did Hal and I was thinking how wonderful that was beautiful. So we're going to go to the phones here we have Dr. Debbie to answer all those vet medical questions we have dog father Joey Vellani who's a groomer extraordinary you've seen him on Animal Planet's Dogs 101 and groomer has it and he you know we thought that you didn't need to groom an animal until he came on board and we realized what we were really missing out on how well our animal could look if we gave it a little attention. Regular grooming. So if you want to talk to either one of them it's free of charge directly from the animal radio app for iPhone and Android and Blackberry it's a free download thanks to those folks over at Doctors Foster's and Smith and the great thing about the app is not only can you ask the questions you can listen to any show you want animal radio show the Andy Griffith show is not on there yet and but you could also browse the deep resources we have lots of resources for you and news that's important for you so if there's a recall of a certain food and you need to know about it you'll know about it through the animal radio app so we make fun about it but it's an important app to have and as I've said before it's so important I've actually downloaded it twice I have to have it twice on my phone wow you don't have to do that I'm just asking you to download it once hey Jim how you doing great where you calling from today well right now I'm in Rowland Heights Rowland Heights right is that the LA area Los Angeles area well yeah it's east of LA okay so what's going on with your animals I have the entire dream team here for you well it's kind of a weird situation I have a 17 year old in their cat has been indoor ever since my girlfriend and her son got it okay the outdoor cat I rescued it it was growing up in a while somebody dumped it off and for about a year year and a half or so it was living with raccoons oh my and then there was a couple other couple other people I guess were jumping cats off and how this cat got the one I have now got caught in a cage and went went berserk it got got an affection and hearing a society out in Pomona California and so I went down and I rescued it I nursed it back to health and it's the most horrible cat that you have ever seen Wow it's on the bed on the pillows or always tries to bathe me oh that's wonderful so what's going on with these guys Jim what's your problem well I see bumps every now and then I don't see fleas or ticks or anything and they haven't been scratching up like a zoo okay all right do they have any sores on their bodies well I see bumps I can feel bumps but when I look it could be sores but I think it's from them scratching or biting or picking on themselves okay all righty so if we see little small bumps or feel them on cats especially if they're kind of like if you look at them closely they might be a little pink almost like a pimple and sometimes they'll have a scab on them then then that can be a condition we call miliary dermatitis and it's miliary little bumps dermatitis can happen from a lot of different reasons in cats the number one thing that causes it is flea allergy dermatitis so that's always the number one thing on my list when I hear of kitties that have these little bumps usually around the neck the head sometimes on the chest but also along the back there are some other causes of that as well and that might be things like a bacterial infection allergies or food allergies and even things like ringworm so cats don't always have to get ringworm with like a hair loss like a person does they can actually get these little bumps so since you do have a kitty going outside I'm gonna say number one thing we need to focus on is flea control and the funny thing that I always have this conversation with folks about cats and a lot of folks will say oh I never see fleas or any evidence of fleas on my cat and that's because in many cases cats are doing what they do best they groom and they groom themselves really well so we can't count on seeing evidence of fleas on cats if we're in an area that has fleas and especially with having one going outside we really need to treat appropriately with that and that might be a combination of a oral product such as comfortus along with a topical product on a regular monthly basis so that is by far the number one thing I'm doing for both cats the other thing and if we do have fleas to realize is if you have that one cat going outside we're gonna struggle we are gonna struggle hard to control fleas and any resulting skin side effects because of that so if we're really concerned about getting this on under control we'll try to keep the outdoor cat indoors for about a month's time so we can really do our best to try to get the flea control under our belts there but then you know this would be something if you haven't already taken the babies to the vet you know we we'd want to do that and just make sure we don't have something like ringworm and check to see if we need to be on an antibiotic or if they do see fleas sometimes we'll use a bit of a steroid just to help decrease the itch so we don't have so much self trauma as a result of the itch because dogs cats they can have flea allergy dermatitis which means they are reasonably itchy from the bite of the flea from the saliva so it doesn't have to be that that we have tons of fleas it could be one flea and if you have an allergic pet they are just going crazy from that itch so that's when we'll often use things like you know prednisone or other types of steroids just to help kind of quiet down that reaction there as far as you know them bathing themselves you know looking and and and all that you know well I guess what you call washing your body or something they always do that through all day long yeah yeah that's normal I mean kitties they are fastidious creature so you know it is really their job to keep that hair coat looking good and if something offending is there they're gonna get it out of there so yeah that's why you know they may just be doing a really good job of that so so you got a little bit of work there Jim but you know work with your veterinarian and see about getting the right treatment and the right products so you know this is something I definitely like to work with my clients because some of the topicals alone aren't going to give us the quickest relief especially with the allergy dermatitis we got to use some of these quick kill type products and many of them are the oral forms right yeah I tried it for a while and I wasn't sure if I was helping it or not and to me it didn't seem like it made a difference you tried what I missed the front line he tried frontline so we're talking about some of the oral so this is different medicines these are medicines that you you take internally is that correct right right and there's you know there's not every topical is created equal so we prefer to have a topical that if possible has a quick kill if not that's when we pull out the oral medications cap star come forward us and a lot of these they will kill those fleas so quickly but if your cat's going outside they're gonna get reinvested so that's where keeping them indoors just to get a handle on things can be very helpful for the initial stages of trying to treat this I applaud you you're doing something right Jim we got that 17 year old hat so give those babies a hug and a little scratch and thanks so much for your call all right take care Jim we appreciate it yeah we have Nike the studio cat and it just takes one flea bite and he is yeah his whole body gets covered with sores and the comfort has worked very well for us and a steroid shot that day when we discovered that cleared him up fast if you happen to have a Yorkshire terrier shih tzu a pug or a mini schnauzer did you know did you know our very own talented doctor Debbie has written books called how to be your dog's best friends about these breeds right here and I'm gonna try to convince her to work on some other breeds but if you have one of these right now you definitely want to have this Guardians manual available as Kindle books over at amazon .com and of course we have links over at animal radio .com are there any natural holistic treatments for fleas I mean I get tired of searching for one well like all the old old wives things like garlic really don't work as far as like the skin so soft you can do that in a diluted spray and that can be one thing you can use trying to think holistic isn't my forte I just feel so bad dumping a chemical on my cat skin or dog you know and I'm with you on that I really am because I spilt I accidentally spilt some of that front liner advantage and it splattered on my keyboard on my computer and it ate a little hole right where it splattered you think of all the different types of products and if you put them on a plastic which is plastic is just not a normal substance wait but you would put something on skin that would eat away at plastic I just don't know I I I'm having a hard time with that doc well there's different carriers and such within those products which may not necessarily be causing a problem but will on plastic and yeah can cause a surface change so hmm okay by the same token I used to I did find a natural one one time in the store and this was many moons ago at least ten years ago and but it was like a clove oil and something else and and it was way too strong I tested it on my own inner arm first and it burned my skin so I wasn't gonna put it on my cat either well this portion of animal radio is underwritten by fear -free happy

"A little bit about culling. So if you have a bird that's suspected to have this high path version of the virus, you just kill the flock. Yeah, so there's a history here. The first highly pathogenic avian influenza. Hit the United States before we even knew what the influenza virus was. In 1924, what did we do? If you have farm had a bird that was sick, kill all the birds, and we stopped the transport of birds from places that had sick birds. That became more sophisticated over the years with biosecurity, but culling and biosecurity have remained the cornerstones and education of preventing these high paths from taking root and becoming endemic, parking themselves into our poultry flocks. And we have been able every time since 1924 to get rid of them. Yeah. With that system. So that's the reason why there hasn't been a lot of interest in vaccines until now. So now we're looking at a different situation where these calls, biosecurity is not preventing it from sticking around over multiple seasons. So Europe and the United States have had a similar culling elimination program. Let's eliminate the virus whenever it shows up. Get rid of every high path. Well, China, in 2005, decided let's try and vaccinate all our flocks. That's a lot. Yeah, billions of birds. And China did that because you may remember in 1997. There was an H 5 N one that killed humans. That's a kind of influenza. It's one of the high pass, right? Right. It's one of the high pass. Basically, influenza viruses are designated H's and ends to describe their subtypes, which are the surface proteins on the virus, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. And they mix and match influenza has this ability to swap genes. So if a bird becomes infected with two different subtypes, it can take an N from a different H 5 N, whatever. And swap it into its H 5 or it can swap H's out. Going back to 97, there's an H 5 N one. That H 5 N one goes into humans. It surfaces in Hong Kong. It moves to China. Causes a huge problem in Vietnam in 2005. So it's in Asia, really making progress in hurting humans, not clear whether it's really good at human to human transmission. It doesn't seem to be, but it's hitting poultry farmers hard. And they're getting sick. So China says, let's vaccinate all our birds. And they have continued that from 2005 until 2023, and they have evidence that it's done great good to their flocks and to humans. As you say, these viruses update all the time. So they must have to have a way of updating their vaccine over this time. Yeah, so the H 5 N one vaccine they have. They've updated ten times since introducing it in 2005. But then China got hit really hard by an H 7 N 9 that was really killing a lot of humans infected more than a thousand. So they went whole hog into an H 5 H 7 by valent vaccine. Okay, so more than one antigen. Yeah, and they shut down transmission to humans of a dangerous virus. I mean, it's a really remarkable success story. And now are some people considering taking China's approach and vaccinating poultry on farms against against the high path that's around now? Yeah, there's a lot of movement toward it in Europe and the United States. There's a big push to consider it, but as one veterinarian I quote in my story says, there's science and there's political science. Yeah. What are some of the political cons here?

And you've had a little bit of Veteran rewards malcolm. What are your thoughts on that sort of attitude or prices. I'm i think it's a good question. Because i do think it's a you know as i was talking to you before the they is a big worry amongst new graduates about how the board will affect them. So i just got have on the tip of my tongue a couple of statistics. That might help us appreciate that printed. The first one is that Up in involved with these boards a new south wales for thirteen years. Connect- time i will have gone through a eight hundred seventy complaints. I can tell you that. About unle- amount of fifteen percent of those complaints. Were a situation where the vet was found to have a case to answer. I can tell you that all of that. Fifteen percent two thirds of them with found to have problems that were remedied by continuing education or review of professional practice that he is by went. You know a significant professional misconduct. So only one. In twenty of the complaints was the that canarian found to have an issue with professional combat and In that whole time the whole thing is i've been involved with the new south wales board only one veterinarian. There are four thousand two hundred veterinarians registered in new south wales at the only one has been has lost a registration as a result of professional misconduct criminal activity. So the risks of you'll along fleet being taken by your board Remote you really have to be doing something criminally wrong. And i'm sure your side. The vast majority is is ones of apart from that that one were a lack of communication cost. And we all say that now an practice not only that. The problems arise when when communication falters momentarily win the expectations of the client on match by the expectations of the hospital. Whether it's to do with money or outcomes amount of procedural whatever you've nailed it in one the communication souls. Ninety-nine percent of the ones that are that rim of the of the ones that Turn up to the board excellent. Well that was a very P- loaned intro and bit of chitchat for podcast.

"Play in everything. She happy. So but vomiting from a young age on is a different kind of situation than say we have an eight year. Old cat. That starts vomiting. So that kinda helps me kinda kinda zone in on the things that might be Contributing to what happened. So i tend to agree with your first veterinarian. That the concern would be that she had perhaps some kind of safa geel problem. And what sounds what they were describing was actually A pr a which is a Persistent rate eight arch in it is a fetal blood vessel. That just doesn't go away in some animals in its inherited problem We see it in dogs but also in cavs and what that means is not actually can constrict over the esophagus such at some point They may be able to eat drink and get that sustenance. They need but eventually a puppy or a kitten with this problem will not thrive and they will just continue to go down downhill. The problem is that has this little vessel constriction over the asaf against this is the food. So things have to go through. If it's constricted. That means that food and water sits in the biggest of in the throat area and then it doesn't take a whole lot with a little bit of movement and well up. It comes when that happens. You get the lack of the nutrients going in so we get skinny animals. But they're very hungry and they're so hungry they just can't gain the week the nutrients don't get in the other thing that can happen. Is that because the safa is so mushy if you will That food and liquid in the asaf against can actually be aspirated into the lungs and that can lead to aspiration. Pneumonia causes respiratory problems. Coughing trouble breathing Sometimes fever So that actually can be a consequence of the condition If we're if we're to that point now Your veterinarian me have gotten as far as they could. They did x-rays sometimes. We'll do a barium swallow so we take regular extra to give up a little bit of food with some barium in it and then we take other xrays Sometimes that doesn't pick it up and we do have to see a specialist and the lead there have to do a contrast cdt or an mri. Yeah when you're talking about big bucks fifteen hundred dollars that's probably what they had kind of thinking so you know. I think you're it's very sad. You know that the second veterinary visit. You know lead to her demise so quickly after that but i think the i guess looking back The course of a or a puppy that has this condition and that is failing to thrive and not doing. Well they do not survive without surgery. it's Eventually they're put down because They can't gain weight. They develop aspiration pneumonia. And they really just kind of go downhill so badly so I know it doesn't help in the pain and have the loss in the manner in which you lost her but I would say that you know knowing that surgery is really the only thing that can fix this type of thing We don't even recommend long term medical management for it because he animals. Just don't do well here back. Maybe whore he injected her in the back room with a steroid shot. When i can't i can't comment on. You know what he did or what he didn't do But what. I can tell you that you know part of a veterinary visit is a two way street. So we we definitely a veterinarian. We have our opinion in our recommendations and that should be validated and approved by the pet. owner I mean. I guess that would be a conversation to have with that office about The situation plan on it. But i haven't been able to get a hold of them since but I she didn't ask freight or any that flowing this stuff out of bruno's after he gave her a shot then she went downhill quite drastically and did suffered terrible death. But i feel betrayed. Because i feel he should talk it over with me instead of giving her that shot when he took her in the back room only to give her an x ray and primer nails. I feel betrayed for that. He'll be trade. I understand yeah. And i think that's you know it's an important thing You know for you as a pet owner a veterinary client to have that conversation. And you know whether it's reaching out to him or someone else at the office you know. I think that is important in. Hopefully once you do that you can have some closure and Recognize you did the best that you could for her to large amount for her One point five zero. Stephen really depends if we're talking. Milligrams leaders in deuces for cats for dmed. Roll you know. And that's where. I can't comment on her j-o-s-e and making sure it was the product that i'm thinking. It was that he used.

And before I say loaded, Mel and Todd, I'm gonna give them like five extra seconds to catch up on some sleep and say Thank you, everybody who spend time listening to us. Over the last handful of months, plus the people that I'll make this podcast possible. Mike Boss Matt offer David Presley helped bring this podcast to life through video, Daniel dot our intrepid producer and all those involved with the audio product. It was a banner year for us, and it was a banner year again for Mel Kiper Jr and Todd McShay. Mel, How are you doing after the draft? Have you slept more than like six or seven hours per night? Since then, a little less like that survival? This is kind of our bear Grylls moment. Throw us out there and We could come back and still stand today after a couple days after the draft, and we're still standing. We're so excited. Hot. Scott is mock draft for next year coming out Thursday. I've already got some guys raided that I got a big board coming out in two weeks for next year's dress up this one of being a rearview mirror will move on to next year pretty soon, But today we'll kind of review everything and come up with some Some ideas about who we think did well, some surprising, puzzling moves and wrap up the dress. I'll tell you what, guys. A lot of good players went on draft and they've already signed with respective teams there. You kind of your 8th and 9th round picks, and some of those guys could be in camp and and helping things this year. The national football it hanging in good. I told type of the story yesterday. So my parents both worked for Delta. Right Growing up. I've been flying on planes since I was like 89 months old. I've never been able to sleep on a plane ever. I so we I'm flying from Cleveland to Boston, and I got a tap on the shoulder. It's a flight attendant, and he says it's time to go. You got to grab your bag and go. Ah $100 seats heated and one that was my safe. One veterinarian 150. People had passed by that I slept through the whole thing and I look around and there were people with You know the cleaning through the trash bags cleaning everything up on the roof. This is embarrassing. Isn't it? Lucky that no one had somewhere else to take you out to take it. Oh, yeah. Good One wound up in Germany. That is amazing. Well, it's certainly well earned, and the content has not stopped. The draft is over. I know Mel astonish draft great artist on his biggest question, Mark, You mentioned that ties doing his 2022 mock draft, which comes out on Thursday mail. You're working on your big Board. The draft really is a 365 days a year event, but we don't want to let this draft that just went behind us passed by without taking at least one more bite of the Apple to review some of the picks that were made some of the strategies involved by teams and maybe those that we felt like fair, stronger than others. So we're going to start in reviewing this draft by starting with teams that we thought How to stand out draft knocked out of the park. So, Mel, I'll give you the first pick. It was a team that knock knock this draft out of the park. A two ways the Miami Dolphins are so it had a great trance. I don't do they get players to help on both sides of all. We got 2023 1st round pick from the 40 Niners, but Jalen Waddle Jalen Phillips should be impact performers of pass rusher and Phillips and a receiver. Return Man. Put returner and Waddle Jamaan, Holland Liam like the bird hunter long that second tight end Barnell Coleman at huge book an underrated attack while you mask They did really well in the Chargers, I thought lined it up. They sat. They waited for Slater to be there. He was a 13 Asante Samuel, junior cornerback from Florida State line. The more underrated players goes that 47. Then they get guys like Chris Rough. A good pass rusher in the fourth round. I like Brendan. Hi. Mrs. Potential in Nebraska know about the Senior Bowl practice. I went back. It's those the tape in the brass, Katie. He held up very well. There was the Cornhuskers Roundtree running back in the sixth around. Nice pick there. So I gave the Chargers and the Dolphins of two highest phrase in the Giants. Kind of amended that Came up the B Plus should have given him a day They moved down twice. They got a first round pick next year from Chicago. They got social or in a second to various Tony and the first added some real good players along the way. So I'd say that the Dolphins Chargers giants in that order for May. I was just saying that comes to mind for you. I was just to say quickly. Gettleman. Dave Gettleman. The GM of the Giants has never traded down before And so he kind of went against the grain and move down twice, and I thought it over. Really successful draft. I'll start with the other New York team. The Jets. I thought Joe Douglas did a tremendous job and listen. He deconstructed the roster and get got all this. This draft capital on 20 picks over to your span so that he can maneuver around. He's not going to spend all 20 text, but it's just figuring out the guys that he wants. Obviously sitting in number two They love Zack Wilson, the quarterback from BYU. He knew that he wanted to go up and get Elijah Vera Tucker, the offensive tackle in college, who's gonna kick inside the guard from jets to put.
