Speaker 3: Being part of our show. You know we have.

31
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: I was in as many of you know that the

32
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:51,799
following us here at pet Life Radio. I was in

33
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:54,200
New York last week doing the segment of the Morning

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,719
on Fox and Friends. It was a great segment, a

35
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:00,560
lot of fun, high tech methods of preventing your pets

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,400
from becoming lost. Whether it was obviously micro chipping is

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,319
a must. We talked about a facial recognition app called

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,840
Finding Rover. That's really cool and for those of you

39
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:14,400
that missed it, very simple. You can download this app

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,000
for free. It's called Findingrover dot com. And what it

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,520
does is you take a picture of your dog. In

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,280
my case, one of my dogs is interestingly Grover with

43
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:27,039
the G So I would take a picture of Grover

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,479
and I would register that picture with the folks.

45
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: Over at finding rover dot com.

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,879
Speaker 2: And then so what happens is if someone else finds

47
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,240
the dog, and they'll send you a little tag that says,

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,599
you know, take my picture kind of thing. And when

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,639
someone else finds the dog, they will take a picture

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,840
of the dog, send it in and their computer program

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,639
over at finding Rover will match the pictures to the

52
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:52,840
closest match, find out if your dog isn't fact lost,

53
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:53,840
and it will contact you.

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 3: I think it's amazing.

55
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: There's nothing called a pet hub that has a QR

56
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,560
code and on the back of the tag, all you

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,000
do is take a phone and.

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,719
Speaker 3: You, you know, click on your little app to.

59
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,479
Speaker 2: Read QR codes and everything will pop up all the

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,479
information on the dog, the owner of medication, you name it.

61
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,479
And every time the little tag is scanned, you, the

62
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,479
parent owner of the dog, will get a call from

63
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:18,680
pet Hub and that's really cool. Of course, we talked

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,719
about the Whistle activity monitor and it's one of my

65
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:23,919
fave and my dogs are my big dogs are all

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,319
wearing the whistle. What's cool about that is you can

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,759
first of all check out on your dog during the

68
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,439
day via phone believe you know, Wi Fi or Bluetooth.

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,080
It's really cool and it's also nice and this is great.

70
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:36,080
I think I mentioned this last week that a dog

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,719
walker got busted because the owner knew that they hired

72
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:41,000
this dog walker and they're supposed to have of course

73
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:42,960
they can go on their phone and check and say,

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120
I wonder how, I wonder how Rover's doing it at

75
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,080
the park today with the dog walker, and you could

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080
see all the activity spikes, you could see the movement

77
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:51,479
right and all of a sudden instead she saw it

78
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,560
was just sitting there, nothing going on, and she called

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,439
a pencer. Wait a second, the dog walker, I'm paying

80
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:00,319
you to walk my dog and you're sitting there seeing

81
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,599
any movement in the last twenty minutes, So that's good.

82
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:06,080
And of course there's also the tag collar which is GPS.

83
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,719
Oh by the way, Whistle is adding GPS to their

84
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,000
little medallions that fit right onto a collar. So there's

85
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,680
so many fantastic, fantastic methods to keep tabs on your

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,720
pets and also to keep them safe. Another one is

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,279
they're two good companies out there, but they are basically

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,360
the invisible fences, and so dog wears.

89
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: A little receiver on the collar. The transmitter is placed.

90
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: In the center of a you know, up to like

91
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:32,040
one hundred and five or one hundred and twenty feet.

92
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:35,480
I mean, it's really cool. And if the dog leaves

93
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,560
or as it's approaching the borders, they'll get.

94
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,959
Speaker 3: Here like a little sound beat.

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,399
Speaker 2: Now they may not know what that sound beap is yet,

96
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,319
but as they continue to get closer to the border,

97
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:46,839
then that sound beap turns into a little it's not

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,600
like a shock collar, it's a little impulse collar. It

99
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:52,879
gives a little bit of of a feeling of a

100
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:56,120
vibration over to the neck, and the dogs know opes

101
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,399
not going there, and they turn around and move back

102
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:01,079
into the perimeter. So there are really a lot of fun,

103
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,759
interesting and not very expensive ways to keep tabs on.

104
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:06,079
Speaker 3: Your pets and to keep them safe.

105
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: Anyway, that was a great segment, But by the point,

106
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,959
I was in New York last week and really getting

107
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,639
a feel for the East.

108
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:13,519
Speaker 3: Coast weather, the mugginess.

109
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: I know, you know, Mark Winter, our show producer is

110
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560
based in Florida. There it's really hot and muggy, and

111
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,399
I come back to California and you know, sorry guys,

112
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:24,720
but it's gorgeous. I mean, yes, it was like yesterday

113
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,720
was really hot. This whole week is supposed to be hot.

114
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,120
I mean, we're in the nineties, but it's a nice,

115
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,399
dry heat. You know, we're not too far from the ocean,

116
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:33,879
so we get the breeze. It's really nice. But we

117
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,920
still have to realize that for our pets, our dogs,

118
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:39,879
it is tough out there. So again I don't have

119
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,120
to reiterate, make sure there's shade, make sure that they

120
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,680
have access to water, make sure that never leave them

121
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,160
in a car unattended and without air conditioning going not

122
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,560
even for two or three or four minutes. That's how

123
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,720
fast a car can heat up between the dogs panting

124
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:57,120
and the anxiety and the heat, and the car acts

125
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,519
like a steam room. I mean, it's crazy. So you

126
00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:01,199
got to be care with that. If you have a

127
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:03,279
pool and your dog's like to swim by, all means

128
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,439
let them. My dogs love it, they can't stay out.

129
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,399
So we have to sort of continue to remember that

130
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,480
it's still hot out there. Yes, we're approaching fall, two

131
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:14,399
weeks away, whatever, but many parts of the country ilseter

132
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,959
really really heating up in September. So a number of

133
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,199
weeks ago we started like a series of things of

134
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:27,439
common problems and the challenge of knowing understanding appreciating when

135
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:29,839
we need to worry. In other words, when do we

136
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:32,480
see this problem, do we have to pack the dog

137
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,199
or the cat into the car and rush them to

138
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,199
the veterinarian or if it's in the middle of the night,

139
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:39,639
rush to the emergency center. And we went through well, well,

140
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:42,560
first of all, allergy and skin issues. We went through vomiting.

141
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,279
That's a big one. Intestinal problems. And I kept teasing

142
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:46,519
you over the last couple of weeks, but then I

143
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,000
was away. Then I was at the trade show in

144
00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:50,199
Kansas City. We had guests on the show. We talked

145
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:52,240
about some other things, but one of the things we

146
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,439
talked about, or I promised we were going to talk about.

147
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,879
Speaker 3: Is limping.

148
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: The limping dog, the limping cat, and when do we panic?

149
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,079
And I seem to find from other as I like

150
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,079
to call them Elshore animal hospitals. I think even plenty

151
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:08,639
of veterinarians could use a little refresher course on this one,

152
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,519
because I have people coming in with I'll give you

153
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,920
a perfect example, perfect example. A very common disease in

154
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,879
large breed dogs is hip displasia. Many dogs have it.

155
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,600
So I get a call, actually not even a call,

156
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,959
this is this funny story. I bump into a guy

157
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,160
at the market who I knew from elementary school. He

158
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:30,040
was actually in my older sister's class. He's two years

159
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:31,519
older than I am, but of course I knew who

160
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,600
he was, and I seen him around town over the years.

161
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:36,680
And he approached me in the market, doesn't bring his

162
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,160
pet to me, and he knows I'm a veterinarian.

163
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: He says, Jeff, gonna ask you a question.

164
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:43,519
Speaker 2: I said, sure, absolutely, So he says, my daughter has

165
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:47,800
this dog that came up lane fairly suddenly, and took

166
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:51,560
him the dog to her veterinarian. And the veterinarian took

167
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,680
some X rays and said, there's a problem in the hip.

168
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,800
It's some arthritis and the hip. So I said to him,

169
00:07:57,959 --> 00:07:59,519
I said, how was the dog like a week of it?

170
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,800
Did this come out unfairly? Suddenly he goes yes. I said,

171
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:03,439
I don't need to see the dog, and I don't

172
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,959
need to see the X rays, but I can tell

173
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:06,959
you right now it's not the hip. And it's like

174
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:08,879
he looks at me like it's like, how do you know,

175
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,800
I said, because when you have diseases that are chronically

176
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:16,759
progressive like arthritis, rarely do you all of a sudden

177
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,959
get an instant pain. In other words, had I taken

178
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,160
these same x rays a month ago, they would have

179
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:25,759
looked exactly the same as they do now, And yet

180
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:28,879
your dog wasn't limping. So something else happened here there

181
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,319
is you have to start evaluating. You have to put

182
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:34,879
the chronic progressive diseases much lower on your list. Of course,

183
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,879
I never say it's impossible. Let's say a joint mouse

184
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,039
because of the severe arthritis, freed up and got into

185
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:43,440
the joint. Could that cause acute sudden pain? Absolutely, So

186
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,240
it's not like I'm saying it's impossible. But you have

187
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,159
to sound of way the possibilities and say to yourself what.

188
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: Is likely, what is a more likely cause?

189
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: And when you have an acute onset, a sudden onset

190
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,480
of a limping problem, you have to think some kind

191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,679
of injury. It could be blowing out your knee, the

192
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,039
cruciate ligament, a moniscus. It could be something called caught

193
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:09,799
aquina syndrome. Even though you can have a chronic look

194
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,320
on the X ray, sometimes the onset of pain could

195
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,240
be acute because it's a function of a nerve being

196
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,279
pinched within the spinal cord as it exits the spinal

197
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,000
cord at this lumbo sacral area. So you can see

198
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,080
signs of chronic instability. But pain could be acute. It

199
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600
could be a fractured toe, it could be a beasting,

200
00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:31,159
it could be something happened, an event happened, which is

201
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:33,879
why the dog is limping today and wasn't limping two

202
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,879
days ago. And usually so, when I heard that the

203
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:41,360
answer from this other veterinarian was hyptosplasia, I wasn't buying it.

204
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: I just wasn't buying it. So I told him he

205
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:44,279
needs to come in.

206
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: Sure enough, in this case, it turned out to be

207
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,759
caught aquina, classic caught aquina. It's a very frequently missed diagnosis,

208
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,879
lumbo sacral instability. It's where a seventh lumbar vertebrate called

209
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,480
L seven teams up with the first sacral first of

210
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,480
three ac or vertebrae called S one. We call it

211
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:05,759
LS or lumbo sacral disease L seven S one. And

212
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,200
even though the condition can be chronic, the onset of

213
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,480
pain can be acute. And sure enough, this was classic.

214
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:15,000
I mean I showed them the X rays. I showed

215
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:17,440
him you take X rays. In a few different views

216
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:20,600
in stages of flexion and extension of the back legs,

217
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,639
and you can just see the movement within these two

218
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:26,639
adjacent vertebrae and where the pinching of a nerve takes place.

219
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:28,960
I mean, it's fascinating, but ps, the dog is doing

220
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,519
great and it wasn't the hips. So what you want

221
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,039
to realize is that when there's an acute, sudden onset

222
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,320
of pain, think an episode. Think of an event, Think

223
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,799
of an injury. Think of that insect bite, think of

224
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,200
stepping on something, a soft tissue injury from a dog fighter,

225
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,240
getting dog is loose and comes back. Could it have

226
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,279
been hit by car, could have been kicked. These are

227
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:50,679
all the things you think of when we have sudden

228
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:55,039
onset of injury, and with sudden onset of injury many

229
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,840
of our injuries.

230
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,399
Speaker 3: When we have an injury to a leg.

231
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if I play ball twoday nights, I'm running

232
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,200
on the court, right, I know if I get a

233
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,080
banged up knee, I know whether it's just like a

234
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:09,240
Charlie horse. I know if I'm just muscle sore, So

235
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,360
I'm not going to run to the doctor. I mean,

236
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,879
if you hit the ground and you hear it that snap,

237
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,240
you can't even walk and your ankle is swollen. Right,

238
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,480
then you know you have some pretty bad strain, maybe

239
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:22,960
even a fracture. When your dog is injured and can't walk,

240
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,759
won't even put weight on it, or you see a

241
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:29,080
limb deformed, Yes, time to go to your vet, get

242
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,879
some X rays. That could be a fracture. But when

243
00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:34,120
everything else is okay, you wake up in the morning,

244
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,960
the dog is limping, but is weight bearing. That's important

245
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,799
to note. He will put weight on it, he's just

246
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,480
favoring it. Don't think you have to panic and rush

247
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,159
to the veterinarian. And just so you know, even if

248
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,960
it was a broken leg, there's no such thing as

249
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,639
an emergency broken limb. In other words, when that pet

250
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,440
is hit by car or in a very bad injury,

251
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240
the last thing we worry about are the limbs.

252
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 3: First.

253
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: You have to make sure the internal damage. Is there,

254
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,440
internal bleeding, what's going on with shock?

255
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:02,039
Speaker 3: Right?

256
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:04,759
Speaker 2: Was there blood loss somewhere? The last things we worry

257
00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:08,519
about are the skin contusions and librasions and a limb.

258
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,639
Those could be fixed, but we have to make sure

259
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,600
we have a stable animal first. So and that's if

260
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:15,799
the limb is broken, so you can only imagine if

261
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,559
the limb isn't even broken. The dog is bearing weight,

262
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,879
the pet cat is bearing weight, but just favoring it.

263
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,600
Right then, we sometimes tincture of time is just a

264
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,159
fine way to go. So I'm gonna least brew on

265
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,279
that for a second. It is time for our halfway

266
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,159
through the show break, and we'll be back in just

267
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,360

00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,559
Speaker 2: To Dr Jeff Doctor Jeff at Petlife Radio dot com.

334
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,080
It will be photed to me immediately on air live

335
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:19,600
or easier go in the conversation. Joining the conversation here

336
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:21,840
on the Ask the Vats with Doctor Jeff Tap. So

337
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:24,639
before the break, we were talking about the limping and

338
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:28,279
you know, the acute sudden onset of limping, but I

339
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:32,120
mean still bearing weight, just just minimized use and as

340
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,399
we call favoring the leg. They're still putting weight on it,

341
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,639
just favoring what a dog pretty much, pretty much there's

342
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:39,960
no more absolutes anymore, we know that. But pretty much

343
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,840
if a dog or cat can bear weight and walk

344
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
at all on a limb, it's not broken, all right.

345
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,279
Sometimes it can be a broken digit and they can

346
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,879
you know, that means just one of the toes, but

347
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,679
if it's one of the major bones, they're not putting

348
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:52,480
weight on it. So there are a number of And

349
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:54,279
first of all, another thing I want to add to

350
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,159
this is that when you do go to the doc

351
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,759
and the doctor wants to take an X ray, the

352
00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:02,000
dog is bearing weight, just not well favoring it, maybe

353
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,359
can or candalyicit some pain, and still want to take

354
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:04,880
an X ray.

355
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: Some might say, wait a.

356
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: Second, how much soft tissue can you see on an

357
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,240
X ray? And the answer is not much. So is

358
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:12,559
it worth taking the X ray if you're not going

359
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:14,279
to stand any bone? If you know the bone is fine,

360
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:16,319
why take the X ray? Well, first of all, there

361
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,599
are some changes that we could see. We can see inflammation.

362
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,799
For example, if a dog tears a cruciate ligament, very

363
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,400
very common injury. Typically we call it a cranial cruciate

364
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,680
ligament tear, could be a partial tear, could be a

365
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,880
full tear, and humans say call it an acl anterior

366
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,920
cruciate ligament.

367
00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:34,079
Speaker 3: And what we'll see is you can't see the.

368
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: Ligament itself no way, but we can see are some

369
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:40,759
changes in the alignment of the bone. And that is

370
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:43,920
the tibia and the femur, and we can also see

371
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,559
what we call joint effusion. Joint effusion effusion is usually

372
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,119
when these fibers tear, they bleed into the joint space

373
00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:56,240
and you could see the change inside the knee of

374
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:58,160
the injured leg versus not anje leg. And we always

375
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,319
recommend taking X rays of the normal limb as well,

376
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,279
and you can look for the comparison, so that, amongst

377
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:06,920
other things, even though you're not actually seeing the torn ligament,

378
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,799
there are certain things we can put together. We're looking

379
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:11,359
for what we call a tibial thrust, We're looking for

380
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,920
a drawer sign. So these are things why that physical

381
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,039
exam is so important. And I will just say of

382
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:20,519
many of the soft tissue injuries that pets have to

383
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:24,519
deal with, one that is pretty much one hundred percent

384
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:28,079
surgical is going to be the crucia tear. Obviously, well

385
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,680
achilles big ligaments that tear the Achilles tendonent when that tears,

386
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,160
that's going to be definitely one hundred percent surgical. But

387
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,519
the key is that even with a partial tear, the

388
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:39,359
problem is that there is a blood supply, but it's

389
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,200
a very poor one, and the ligament itself is under tension,

390
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:46,200
so when the fiber starts splitting, they sort of snap

391
00:18:46,279 --> 00:18:48,759
back in opposite directions. There's no way they're going to

392
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:53,039
come together again. And therefore, with each fiber that tears,

393
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:55,359
and they're usually not just one, they're using many, sometimes

394
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,880
hundreds of the time, that ligament is getting weaker, and

395
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,960
of course, the more strain put on a weaker lig

396
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:02,079
it's ultimately going to go. And I used to work

397
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,200
actually with a ports certified Veterini surgeon in my practice,

398
00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:07,319
and he was probably one of the more conservative surgeons

399
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,000
I know. You know, typically you say, ah, they became

400
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:10,680
a surgeon, they like to cut. Of course they're going

401
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,599
to say in need surgery.

402
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: He wasn't like this. He would always try anything medically.

403
00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: First before he would resort to surgery if it was

404
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,480
if there were options. But under his breath he would

405
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:21,440
laugh when a client would say, they want to wait

406
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,920
and they want to see what happens with a cruciate ligament,

407
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:27,000
because he knows it's one hundred percent it will need

408
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,640
to be fixed. You know, it's really hard to get

409
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,839
into on a radio show. And even though this is

410
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,799
going to be this is set simulcast and you could

411
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,880
pick up the video online. But it's a very important

412
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,039
reason why with a dog you have to repair accruciate ligament.

413
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,519
And with a person, unless they're an athlete or you know,

414
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:44,359
even a weekend warrior, you can put the brace on

415
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:46,759
and they can get along just fine. And you kind

416
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:48,519
of have to picture it. But if you look at

417
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:50,839
a person at rest, there's only.

418
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: One bend in their entire limb hind, limb leg, limb. Okay,

419
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,200
what is the bend?

420
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: The hip that's straight, the knee that's straight, the hawk,

421
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:02,559
the heel. Well, there's your bend, a ninety degree bend,

422
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:07,319
and then the digits, the metatarsals. Right, that's all flat again.

423
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,880
So now I want you to picture a dog, even

424
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:13,519
at rest, just standing, and you can see it in

425
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:13,920
a picture.

426
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: You can see pictures of dog skeletons.

427
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: The hip bent, the knee bent, the hawk bend, the

428
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,640
tarsal metatarsal joint bent. Every single joint is bent. There's

429
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,759
not a single straight joint when a dog is at rest. Therefore,

430
00:20:28,039 --> 00:20:32,599
the attention on this injured ligament is always creating a problem,

431
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,000
and therefore they will need to have it surgically repaired.

432
00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: One way or the other.

433
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:39,839
Speaker 2: So I want to take a brief minute because there

434
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,920
seem to be a lot of confusion amongst usually puppy

435
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,039
owners about some limping problems and what are some of

436
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:49,480
the growth related diseases that we see, especially in large

437
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,039
breed dogs and even one or two young It may

438
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:54,680
not be growth related, but certainly young dog disease in

439
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:57,960
small breeds as well, and wend you have to worry.

440
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:02,200
So the most common large breed rapidly growing dog young

441
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,359
dog is called panostiitis pano. It is an inflammation within

442
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:09,920
the growing bone, usually the long bones. We see it

443
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:12,519
most probably in the humorous We'll see it also in

444
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:14,480
the radius I'll know again, we'll see it a lot

445
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:17,079
in the femur, sometimes in the tibby as well, and

446
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:20,359
the condition is very identifiablon X ray.

447
00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: You could see discrete changes.

448
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: You also have a very painful bone, so if you

449
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,960
squeeze the bone, it is going to be it's gonna hurt.

450
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,720
So that is something that needs to be radiographically diagnosed. Fortunately,

451
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:33,960
it's the most common, and fortunately, the reason I say

452
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,680
fortunately is because it does not need surgery. It's purely

453
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,240
a medical disease. We often recommend dropping down. It happens

454
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:43,359
to these big dogs. I think they're getting too much protein,

455
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,640
they're growing too fast, exercising too much, and therefore we

456
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,440
have to curb the exercise a little bit, and we

457
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,759
have to get them on adult food sooner than we

458
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,680
used to. One of the taglines from one of the

459
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,519
puppy foods and as a kid, was, you know, for

460
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:55,920
a full year until they're full grown.

461
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.

462
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: We are backing away from quote unquote puppy food food

463
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,599
way earlier than a year, probably six to nine months,

464
00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:05,000
is it. By nine months, they should already be converting

465
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:08,160
to either a young adult formula or to adult food.

466
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:10,119
Young adult formulas, by the way, are great. The other

467
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,319
two that we see commonly enlarged reeddogs are one thing

468
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,079
called elbow displasia. We called FCP fragmented coronoid process. This

469
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,799
is a surgical disease. It is again something that can

470
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:24,119
be picked up on radiographs. However, you need to have

471
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,559
somebody who's familiar with the disease because oftentimes you can't

472
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,759
see the actual fragmented piece of bone, but you can

473
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:34,079
see secondary changes within the joint that indicate that there

474
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,200
is somewhere in there a floating piece of bone that

475
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:41,160
chipped away. That's FCP fragmented coronoid and elbow displaysia. We

476
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,359
call it, of course, as opposed to hip displasia. We

477
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,119
also have something called OCD and not obsessive compulsive disorder.

478
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,160
It's osteochondritis desiccans. It is a cartilage flap defect and

479
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,359
a joint. We see it in many joints, probably the

480
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,440
shoulder joint would be the most commonplace. This is a

481
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,759
surgical disease. We have to get rid of that surgical flap,

482
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,400
that condro. It's a cartilage flap, and these dogs do

483
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,440
amazingly well after surgery. And of course it's hyptosplasia. And

484
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:11,000
if you have a dog that's prone hiptoslasa. One thing

485
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,359
you have to remember about hyptoysplasia. It is only fifty

486
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:16,519
percent genetic five ozho.

487
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: That means. The other fifty percent is what it's environmental.

488
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:22,400
That means. It's how we take these dogs, it's how

489
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,799
we feed them. We want to keep the plane of nutrition.

490
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: We don't want the biggest, baddest dog in the block

491
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,960
when they're six or eight months old.

492
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,319
Speaker 3: What we want to do is keep them on the

493
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,039
lean side.

494
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: We don't want to over exercise them either. No running

495
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,240
along for five miles along your bicycle, no taking that

496
00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:38,640
long jog. These dogs need playtime, of course, fifteen to

497
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,839
twenty minutes at a park, throwing a frisbee, throwing a

498
00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:44,319
tennis ball, but no continuous pounding on the pavement for

499
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,440
miles and miles until they're at least eighteen, preferably twenty

500
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,160
four months of age. So it's what we do to

501
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,480
these dogs that predisposes them to phyptysplasia. And I recommend,

502
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,039
because there are some treatments that we can employ to

503
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,400
help prevent some of the onset of really serious arthritis,

504
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,839
we want to get some X rays early, and believe

505
00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:04,160
it or not, our time is up. I knew this

506
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,960
subject is going to take longer than one day, so

507
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,519
we're going to come back next week. I'm going to

508
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:11,839
leave you in suspense about what to do with your

509
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,200
large breed dogs that you're worried about displays that I

510
00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:18,359
recommend any large breed dog should have a hip scan,

511
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,359
probably when they're about nine to ten months of aage.

512
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,400
And next week, when you stay tuned, I'm going to

513
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,880
explain why so, I want to thank you for joining

514
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,440
me here on pet Life Radios. Ask the beats with

515
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:29,000
doctor Jeff. I'm doctor Jeff.

516
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:29,559
Speaker 3: Where were your host?

517
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,559
Speaker 2: I once again want to thank our sponsors, Calm Pet Products,

518
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,039
pro Sens Pet Products.

519
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,039
Speaker 3: I mean lucky for them, I'm lucky for you.

520
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: We're not giving anything away this week because nobody called in,

521
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:42,039
nobody sent me a text, nobody wrote in. But hopefully

522
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:44,039
next week you'll get the courage to do so. If

523
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:48,440
you have any questions about joints, about limping, when to worry,

524
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,599
how to worry, what to do save them, send them

525
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,920
