MUCH, JON
JORDAN.
OVER TO YOU.
>> Jason: WE ARE ALL 4 PETS.
AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT
YOUR PET, WE HAVE A VET RIGHT
HERE, LIVE IN STUDIO, DR. KELLY
MEYERS AT THE ANIMAL CARE CENTER
AT THE MICHIGAN HUMANE SOCIETY.
>> GOOD MORNING!
>> Jason: HALLOWEEN, LOUD SPOOKY
MUSIC, LOUD NOISES.
AND YOU HEAR THE SHRIE FROM
THE KIDS BUT COULD BE BAD FOR
THE PETS, TOO.
>> WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW TO KEEP
THEM SAFE.
>> Jason: WOULD A THUNDER VEST
HELP THEM FOR HALLOWEEN?
>> IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THERE
ARE A LOT OF LOUD NOISES,
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP
THAT.
THE BIGGEST THING IS TO MAKE
SURE THE COLLAR AND I HAVE HAD
IS ON YOUR PET.
SO IF YOU WERE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE
AND HAVE PROPER IDENTIFICATION.
IF THE NEIGHBOR FINDS HIM, HE'LL
GET BACK TO YOUR HOUSE QUICKLY.
>> Jason: WHAT ABOUT DECOR LOW
TO THE FLOOR, THE DOG CAN GET TO
IT.
CANDY LEFT OUT.
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT
THESE THINGS.
>> THE BIGGEST THING WE WORRY
ABOUT IS CANDLES.
CATS LOVE CANDLES.
THEY'RE ENAMORED BY THE FLICKER.
THEY COULD GET BURNED, KNOCK IT
OVER, CAUSE FIRES, GOLDEN
TAILS.
AND WIRES HANGING DOWN, DANGLY
THINGS.
OBSTRUCTION.
>> Jason: IF YOU'RE DRESSING UP
THE DOG, MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE.
>> MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PUPS CAN
MOVE AROUND EASILY, THAT THEY
CAN BREATHE IN IT WELL.
THAT THEY CAN MEOW AND BARK.
THEY CAN BE STRESSFUL, THE
COSTUMES FOR PETS.
SO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT TOO
AROUND.
>> Jason: AS WE LOOK AT THE
PUGS, THEY DON'T NEED A LOT OF
ORNAMENTATION TO BEGIN WITH.
>> Jason: WE HAVE A QUESTION
FROM ONE OF OUR VIEWERS.
HER DOG EMMA HAS CONSTANT UTI'S
AND ANTIBIOTICS AREN'T WORKING.
COULD IT BE HERDIET?
>> WITH THE URINARY TRACT
WORRY.
RECURRENT THINGS, WE LOOK FOR
THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM.
A COUPLE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS
WOULD BE STRUCTURALLY THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG AND EXTRA SKIN
FOLDS THAT TRAP BACTERIA AND CAN
CAUSE THE INFECTION TO COME
BACK.
DIABETES ON AN UNDERLYING HEALTH
ISSUE.
AND DIED CAN BE AN ISSUE,
ESPECIALLY IN THIS PARTICULAR
BREED ON THIS LITTLE GAL HERE.
THEY CAN GET STONES OR CRYSTALS,
X-RAYS.
GO BACK TO THE VET AND DO SOME
INTENSE TESTS TO FIND OUT WHAT
THAT CAUSE IS AND WHY THEY'RE
COMING BACK.
>> Jason: MITZVAH JUST TURNED
16, WHINES AND CRIES, CURLS UP
IN THE BLANKET AND GOES TO
SLEEP.
>> WHEN THERE'S A CHANGE IN
BEHAVIOR LIKE NOT WANTING TO EAT
OR GO TO SLEEP, WHINING AT
NIGHT, WE NEED TO TAKE THEM TO
THE VETERINARIAN.
IT COULD BE A LITTLE BITS OF
ARTHRITIS, BUT IT COULD BE
SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE VET HAS
A CHANCE TO DO AN EXAM AND MAYBE
SOME BLOOD WORK TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> Jason: DO YOU HAVE A DOG?
>> I DO, A GOLDEN RETRIEVER, AND
SHE'S 9.
TINKERBELL.
>> Jason: DO YOU DRESS HER UP?
R2D2.
>> Jason: MAY THE FORCE BE WITH
YOU AND BELL.
>> Jason: THERE ARE THREE
LOCATIONS: DETROIT, WESTLAND,
AND ROCHESTER HILLS.
