>>>
>>> TAKE
>>> TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. OUR PETS ARE SO SWEET, AREN'T
THEY?
THEY?
THEY? LOOK AT THAT CAKE.
LOOKS LIKE A REAL DOG.
I ALMOST STARTED TO PET IT AND
GOT ICING ALL OVER MY HANDS.
WE'RE BACK WITH THE STARS OF
THE VET LIFE.
YOU CAN GIVE US A CALL WITH
YOUR ANIMAL QUESTIONS.
WE'LL PUT THAT PHONE NUMBER UP
ON THE SCREEN.
GIVE US A CALL IF YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. WE HAVE KIM ON THE LINE RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. GOOD
NOW. GOOD MORNING, KIM.
KIM, CAN YOU HEAR US?
OKAY.
OKAY.
OKAY. KIM'S QUESTION THOUGH WAS SHE
HAS A DOG THAT IS VERY
AGGRESSIVE.
AGGRESSIVE. SOMETIMES WE HAVE THAT FOR
WHATEVER REASON, ESPECIALLY IF
YOU'VE GOTTEN A DOG YOU DIDN'T
HAVE AS A PUPPY.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WENT
THROUGH BEFORE.
THROUGH BEFORE. >> YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
THE TRIGGERS ARE.
IF THEY'RE AGGRESSIVE TO OTHER
ANIMALS, WE NEED TO ADDRESS
THAT WAY.
THAT WAY.
THAT WAY. ONE OF THE THINGS WE MAKE A BIG
MISTAKE OF IS A DOG IS DOING
SOMETHING AND WE TRY TO CALM
THEM DOWN BY SAYING GOOD BOY,
GOOD GIRL.
GOOD GIRL. WE DON'T REALIZE THAT WE'RE
ENCOURAGING THE BEHAVIOR.
SO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. WHEN YOU HAVE AN ANIMAL YOU'RE
TRYING TO CORRECT THE BEHAVIOR.
I RECOMMEND TALKING TO AN
ACTUAL TRAINER.
ACTUAL TRAINER. EVEN AS A VETERINARIAN, I'M NOT
A DOG TRAINER.
THERE'S EXPERIENCE I HAVE.
AND SOME THINGS I KNOW.
BUT YOU WANT TO WORK WITH
SOMEBODY WHO DOES THIS DAY IN,
DAY OUT.
DAY OUT.
DAY OUT. LITTLE NUANCES IS ENCOURAGING
THE BEHAVIOR.
THE BEHAVIOR. >> WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND I
SAID WHERE'S THAT LLAMA AT.
NO, IT'S MEAN.
I GO NO IT'S NOT.
IT WAS CUDDLING UP.
NO, IF YOU'RE ATTACHED TO A CAR
IT USED TO BE AT AN ANIMAL
PARK.
PARK.
PARK. SO
PARK. SO IT ASSOCIATED A CAR PERSON
WITH FOOD AND TREATS BUT IT HAD
BEEN ABUSED BEFORE THEY HAD
GOTTEN IT SO BY ITS OWNERS.
>> WE HAVE A DOG THAT CAME INTO
RESCUE.
RESCUE.
RESCUE. PERFECTLY FINE AND THEN WITHIN
TWO DAYS SHE HAD TRAUMA ON HER
RIGHT EYE.
RIGHT EYE. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE TRAUMA BUT
HER EYE TURNED WHITE.
IT APPEARS THAT SHE CAN'T SEE
OUT OF IT.
IT'S NOT DRY EYE BUT IT'S
ALMOST LIKE A CATARACT BUT NOT?
>> IT HAPPENED THAT QUICKLY.
>> LIKE WITHIN THREE DAYS.
>> SO IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON IF
IT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LENS
OR THE CORNEA.
IF THEY HAD IT LOOKED AT, HAD
THE CORP.
THE CORP.
THE CORP. YA STAINED AND THERE WAS NO
TRAUMA TO THE EYE, NO ULCER.
THEN WE MAY BE REFERRING TO THE
LENS AND WE DO SEE DOGS CAN
DEVELOP CLOUDINESS OF THE LENS.
CAN BE SEVERAL THINGS.
NUCLEAR SCLEROSIS, A
DEGENERATIVE CHANGE.
DEGENERATIVE CHANGE. OR A CATARACT.
HAD TO HAVE THAT LENS EXAMINED
BY A VETERINARIAN TO DETERMINE
WHICH ONE IT IS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
JARED HAS A, TIME FOR THE FARM
ANIMAL EXPERT.
ANIMAL EXPERT. >> HE HAD HAY ALL DAY EVERY DAY
BUT COULDN'T SEEM TO PUT ANY
WEIGHT ON HIM DESPITE THE FACT
HE DIDN'T HAVE WORMS BECAUSE WE
WORMED HIM REGULARLY.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO PUT WEIGHT
ON A HORSE?
>> EXCELLENT QUESTION.
SO I DON'T KNOW DEWORMING HIM
REGULARLY NECESSARILY TOOK CARE
OF THE PROBLEM; RIGHT?
I ALWAYS RECOMMEND DOING A
FECAL EXAM.
FECAL EXAM. CHECKING THE FECES FOR SPECIFIC
TYPE OF PARASITE.
SOME OF THE DEWORMERS WE USE
THE WORMS HAVE EITHER BECOME
IMMUNE TO THEM OR WE MAY BE
TRYING TO DEWORM SOMETHING THAT
IS NOT THERE.
NOT AFFECTING THE OTHER WORMS
OR PARASITES THE HORSE COULD
HAVE HAD.
HAVE HAD.
HAVE HAD. IF IT WAS AN OLDER HORSE,
IDEALLY I WOULD CHECK THE TEETH
TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT
WAVE MOUTH.
WAVE MOUTH. THEY'RE NOT DROPPING THE FEED.
SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT GETTING
THE FOOD DOWN BECAUSE THEIR
TEET ARE SO BAD.
NEXT STEP WOULD BE BLOODWORK.
OLDER HORSES CAN DEVELOP
CANCER.
CANCER.
CANCER. THAT CAN ALWAYS CAUSE WEIGHT
LOSS.
LOSS.
LOSS. NOT
LOSS. NOT WANTING TO EAT.
FURTHER MORE, DIFFERENT
ENDOCRINE DISEASES.
ENDOCRINE DISEASES. THEIR MUSCLE TONE SHRINKS AND
THEY GET MORE FAT AND POT
BELLIED.
BELLIED.
BELLIED. SO DEPENDING ON WHAT WAS GOING
ON IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY OF
THOSE THINGS.
THOSE THINGS. >> GOOD MORNING, MICHELLE.
>> WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?
>> I HAVE A MALTIPOO WHO JUST
GAVE BIRTH TO EIGHT PUPPIES.
WHEN WE TAKE HER OUT TO COME
BACK IN SHE'S BEEN TREATED FOR
FLEAS BUT THE FLEAS ARE
HITCHING A RIDE IN ON THE
NEWBORN PUPS.
NEWBORN PUPS. IS THERE A NATURAL REMEDY FOR
THE FLEAS ON THE NEWBORNS?
>> I'M GOING TO BE VERY HONEST
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. I
HERE. I LIKE NATURAL REMEDIES WHEN
THEY CAN WORK.
WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH WITH
FLEAS THERE'S NOT TOO MANY
NATURAL REMEDIES.
NATURAL REMEDIES. THEY'RE FROM THE LAND.
THEY LIVE HERE.
YOU NEED THINGS TO REALLY
INHIBIT THEM.
INHIBIT THEM. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I THINK
WOULD BE A DRUG CALLED SENTINEL
SPECTRUM.
SPECTRUM.
SPECTRUM. IT HAS AN IGR IN IT.
IT INHIBITS THE GROWTHS.
THE ABILITY OF THE FLEAS TO
CREATE THEIR LIFE CYCLE.
IT STERILIZES THEM, IF YOU
WILL.
WILL.
WILL. YOU
WILL. YOU CAN ALWAYS USE ANOTHER ORAL
TO KILL OFF THE ADULT FLEAS
RIGHT AWAY IN ADDITION TO A
BATH.
BATH.
BATH. BUT
BATH. BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO BE
CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY'RE ON
THE PUPPIES.
THE PUPPIES. THOSE LITTLE ONES, YOU CAN'T DO
ANYTHING BUT REALLY BATHE THEM.
TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT
WITH THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I
JUST GAVE.
JUST GAVE. >> BEFORE WE GO TO BREAK, I
GAVE CHESTER A STEAK BONE.
>> UH-OH.
>> UH-OH.
>> UH-OH. >> THEY'RE LIKE.
>> UH-OH.
>> UH-OH.
>> UH-OH. >> CHESTER LOVES THE STEAK
BONE.
BONE.
BONE. >>
BONE. >> I LIKE STEAK BONES TOO.
>> BUT THAT'S A NO?
>> YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL WHEN
YOU'RE GIVING BONES.
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
BREAK SYMMETRICALLY.
BREAK SYMMETRICALLY. THOSE POINTS CAN CAUSE SO MUCH
IRRITATION GOING DOWN.
IMAGINE YOU EAT A BONE AND IT
HAS TO GO FROM YOUR BELLY ALL
THE WAY OUT.
SO IT CAN CAUSE A LOT OF
IRRITATION, A LOT OF PAIN.
WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH BONES
AND OTHER TABLE SCRAPS.
>> OR IT CAN CAUSE AN
OBSTRUCTION IF THEY CAUSE A BIG
PIECE.
PIECE.
PIECE. >>
PIECE. >> CHESTER IS 15 YEARS OLD AND
THINKS HE CAN HAVE WHATEVER HE
WANTS.
WANTS.
WANTS. WHAT ABOUT THE STEAK THEN?
>> TOO FATTY.
>> WHAT ABOUT A CHICKEN NUGGET?
I GET IT.
I GET IT.
I GET IT. NO.
NO.
NO. BACK
NO. BACK TO THE POINT,
