1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:23,359 Speaker 1: This pet Life Radio. Let's talk pets and here we are. 2 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,320 We are live both on Instagram line and on pet 3 00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:30,480 Life Radio. Here for you. Sorry everybody for the change 4 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,039 in time. But I literally literally just landed about twenty 5 00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:37,600 five minutes ago. So I was in Chicago, great town, 6 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,000 by the way. Everyone was warning about it and say 7 00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:41,920 if it was, it was. It was fine. It was 8 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,600 totally fine. I was talking to one of the uber drivers. 9 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,320 He said, you know, there are spots like in the 10 00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:49,479 south Side that could be a little tough. You know, 11 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,759 you wouldn't want to walk alone by yourself at night 12 00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:54,640 in some of these feet. But in downtown where it's 13 00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,280 like so bustling, it was so great there. And the 14 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,560 weather was amazing. Boy, it was much much. I thought 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,319 it was yesterday. Woke up to thunder lightning, pouring, pouring rain, 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,040 and literally that was like at six thirty in the morning. 17 00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:12,519 By nine o'clock the sun was shining. It was crazy. 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,400 It zoomed through so fast and I was actually really surprised. 19 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,040 And then at night it was like, you know, it's 20 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,959 shorts weather. I mean, it's it's really crazy. So anyway, 21 00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:26,159 it was, it was good. It was a smaller meeting 22 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,719 that I'm used to. Hey, deb but anyway to get 23 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,120 ahold of me questions? I hope you have lots of questions. 24 00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:33,280 There things we can talk about. First of all here 25 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480 on pet Life for Radio eight seven seven three eight 26 00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:37,840 five eight eight eight two once again eighty seven seven 27 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,599 three eight five eight eight eight two. Just chime in, 28 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:42,439 ask your questions. You can type and you can join 29 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:44,640 us here on Instagram. You know the drill, you know 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,640 what to do, and I would love to hear from 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,760 you any questions. You may have. One thing that I 32 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:52,560 got from this show, this trade show, it's not as 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,000 grand as I you know. I go to VMX. That's 34 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,560 the one in Orlando every January. There are over twenty 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,879 thousand people there. It's crazy. A month later in Vegas 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,280 in the Western Veteran Conference there's about nineteen, also twenty five. 37 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,639 They always battle who's got the most. The thing is 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,919 that one in Orlando. It gets more international because it's 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,159 it's on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. It's 40 00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:18,639 not that terrible to come to Florida, but I mean 41 00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,199 to come all the way then to Nevada, it's a 42 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,479 little tougher so anyway, but really, really those are busy. 43 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,599 This one was a little bit more kind of well, 44 00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:30,680 it was a lot smaller, so it was more easily engaging, 45 00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:32,000 like when you want to engage these people to come 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,800 out of the booth. And also because it is a 47 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,680 American Animal Hospital Association hospitals. When I had my own hospital, 48 00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:42,400 I was AH. It's called AHA American Animal do you 49 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,520 get it. Anyway, only about twenty percent of animal hospitals 50 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,719 in the country qualify to be AH certified. So when 51 00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:51,439 you look at that way and it's rigorous, it really is. 52 00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:53,639 I remember every three years we had to go through. 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,599 I mean it's soup to not say they check everything. 54 00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:00,719 It's almost like a remember good housekeeping deal of approval. 55 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,879 That's kind of what AHA was. If you were an 56 00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,639 AHA hospital, that means you met standards that are even 57 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:11,199 higher than your state better Medical Association boards. So it 58 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,879 was it was like something you can put a feather 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,719 in your cap. Yeah, I'm in AHA hospital, so you 60 00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:18,879 can still be an AH member, but I'm obviously the 61 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:21,080 hospital that now is a small clinic and it's not 62 00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:23,919 it's not AHA, And I don't know if I want 63 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,159 to be too AH again. But anyway, deb question about 64 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,960 ten milligram zyrtec. Okay, to use. Here's the thing, this 65 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,840 is my philosophy, my theory. But I've seen it again 66 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:39,560 and again and again. So first of all, is histamine 67 00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:44,120 a major player in the canine allergy? And the answer 68 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,919 to that, you know how, I'm asking no so to 69 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,120 give an anti histamine against a cellular mediator that's not 70 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:55,039 involved in the allergy. It's why you're doing it. Maybe 71 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,360 some say maybe ten percent is histamine related. It's really 72 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,400 not a big player, now we know. Now, that's why 73 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:04,919 we use apple quil inside a point, it's interluken thirty 74 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,560 one is the equivalent of our histamine. That's what sets 75 00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:12,960 up the whole bad reaction. Now, I often recommend benadru 76 00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:16,519 and chlotroimaton chlorofin aimine. Why I just told you that 77 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,279 histamine is not a big problem. You know why. It's 78 00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:22,199 because this setative effect. It does chill them out a 79 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,000 little bit. So it makes them a little more comfortable. 80 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,600 They're not as willing and eager and gone crazy because 81 00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:29,959 they're just a little more chill. Now you look at 82 00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:34,000 clariton and zytec, which are the non drowsy. Now, now 83 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:36,560 what you can't even you can't get any benefit from 84 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,000 them except maybe maybe the ten percent in any individual 85 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,439 dog that is histamine effected. It's stamine related. So my recommendation, 86 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,120 if you're gonna use an anihistamine, and I'm not against it, 87 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,959 make sure it's good old fashioned typhonygamine, benadrill or chlorophonaramine, 88 00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:55,240 which is the chloimaton. Those are drowsy. You want the 89 00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:57,600 drowsy if you're gonna use it at all. Seven month 90 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,759 old pop only has one drop testicle. We talk to 91 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,600 the said that we can just remove the one and no. Wrong, wrong, wrong. 92 00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:10,000 That is terrible advice, terrible advice. Why we're more of 93 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,839 course for the breeding aspect and some of the behavior asks. Well, 94 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,839 first of all, if you leave the testicle in the abdomen, okay, 95 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000 you're going to get all the behavior issues that you're 96 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,839 trying to avoid by neutering. But more importantly, when a 97 00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:25,519 testicle is sitting in the scrotum, it is exposed to 98 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,199 ambient temperature roughly seventy five eighty degrees maybe during the 99 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:32,560 summer in a hot place Chicago today ninety degrees, but no, 100 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,800 it is much warmer than body temperature. Body temperature is 101 00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:39,399 up over one hundred and it's one hundred and two 102 00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:42,279 and one hundred and three up to one hundred and four. Right, 103 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,000 So the testicle that remains in the abdomen, that is 104 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,000 exposed to higher temperatures, that's what's going to cause more 105 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,639 likelihood a cancer of that testicle. So the reason why 106 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,319 if you're going to leave a testicle, leave the one 107 00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:57,319 of the scrotum, all right, they can still breed what 108 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,360 they shouldn't because it's transmitted. And that's another If you 109 00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:05,040 leave that testicle in the abdomen, they're still males, they 110 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,120 can still they're gonna have to stop going. They're gonna 111 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,240 make sperm, they get all those things, and they're gonna 112 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,279 pass that trait on potentially to their male offspring. It's 113 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,800 a lose, it's a no win, no win, no whin. 114 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,439 So you do not want to leave that testicle. I 115 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,360 think that is the breeder's answer to have you not 116 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,439 worried that it's okay, you're still gonna be all male. 117 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,759 If that's the case, white good a in the first place, 118 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,959 and if you only really wanted to keep a dog intact, 119 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,800 you would still go after the one in the abdomen 120 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,439 because that's the one that's at risk of cancer. So 121 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,720 I don't know who this breeder is, but this is 122 00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:43,639 not not good advice at all, and we should definitely 123 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,720 do And you know, the truth is that the surgery 124 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,199 is not that complicated. I mean, yeah, sometimes it is. 125 00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:52,800 I've gone in there sometimes and I finally found it. 126 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,519 Searchs and searchs and search. It was like because of 127 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,720 the anomaly, because of it's where it's coming from and 128 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:02,319 how poorly was developed. It was the size of like 129 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,360 a kidney bean. So yeah, but most of them, you 130 00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:09,839 go in parapropucial right along the side of the prepuce 131 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,720 and you open up and it's usually sitting right there. 132 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,519 It's not that hard to find. So now also there's 133 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,800 a better argument, which I still disagree with, that if 134 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:21,800 it's in the flank. In others they got through the 135 00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:24,680 anginal ring, it's sitting in the flank, you can actually 136 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,160 palpit it under the skin. So it made out almost 137 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:30,319 all the way just a little short of the scrotum. 138 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,399 Then now it's not as exposed to the same hot 139 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:35,839 body temper. It's still warmer than what's in the scrotum 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,759 because scirrel tissue, as you know, is very thin, but 141 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,879 it's still one could argue, if you really wanted to 142 00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:43,800 argue with me, that if you're going to leave one in, 143 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,319 at least it's out of the body, then that would 144 00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:51,279 be more likely to be okay. But I still would 145 00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,920 not recommend it. Get your pets neutered, especially if they 146 00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,160 are a monorchid or a crypt orchid, which means both 147 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,199 testicles haven't descended. Boy, what a way to get me 148 00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:03,480 started on a nice Sunday morning as soon as possible. 149 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,680 It doesn't have to be like tomorrow, but you want 150 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,720 to do it in the next month or so. Yeah, 151 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,160 I mean, you're going to get it out anyway, but 152 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,160 you have to say, why did you want to newt 153 00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:14,959 her anyway? For whatever reason you wanted to new her. 154 00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:18,279 That's the same thing with this testicle. Whether it's because 155 00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,639 of behavior, whether it's because you didn't want them to breed, 156 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680 whether it's because aggression with other dought, whatever it is, 157 00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:27,879 but you still want to get it out, all right? Roberto, Hello, 158 00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:31,959 how are you so we can do it? Blake anytime? Anytime? Well, 159 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,279 you see, Blake, even though you're not working with us anymore, 160 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,600 Blake was a volunteer, so she's great, but now you're 161 00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,600 still learning from me, which is good. Okay, So zero 162 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,679 tech we talked about, So let's talk about a few 163 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,039 other things. Unless you and you have questions, just pop 164 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,759 in and I'll be happy to answer your questions. But 165 00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:50,159 one of the big things that we're seeing now AI 166 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,159 in practice, and I mean I is you know, I 167 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,840 use scribble VET and AI scribble Basically it records our exams. 168 00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:02,720 It puts it into what's called the soap format. It 169 00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:05,200 is so versatile. It can do so many different things 170 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,080 and I absolutely love it. It site takes gives you research 171 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,159 papers if you want to access them based on a 172 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,320 particular differential that you put. You click on it and 173 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:16,840 it works for something called life learn and it's great. 174 00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:18,639 And you can do the surgeon a write up, you 175 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,320 do radiographic reading, you can do this format a dictation 176 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,320 on reviewing lab work. You can do soap format. The 177 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,080 three different kinds of soap format. There's a classic, there's 178 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,879 one that I like, which is a little bit shorter, 179 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,559 and then there's the specialists have their own soap format. 180 00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:33,200 I mean it's really really Oh dentistry, it does the 181 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,200 whole dental chart, which is great. Then It also generates 182 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,519 a report card at the end of the visit for 183 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:41,519 the parent. It also sends an email if you want 184 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,600 to the parent records from another hospital. It's great. You 185 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,519 can basically put them all in the file. It's scansome 186 00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:50,559 and you just you copy the PDF and it summarizes 187 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,279 them so you don't go have to go through all 188 00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:55,240 the nonsense. It'll take up fifty pages of notes from 189 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,960 another hospital and turn it into five pages. I mean, 190 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,159 it's amazing. So anyway, that's a good use of AI. 191 00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:04,759 I don't oh, I mean AI and radiography. Oh my god. 192 00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:08,600 There are radiology companies now that will use AI to 193 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,679 read films and then the board certified radiologists will just 194 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,720 review them and you can opt for that. Obviously, if 195 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,440 you use the radiologist, that's going to cost more money 196 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,919 to the doctor, which means more money for you, and 197 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,440 you can opt for just the AI. And they feel 198 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,360 that it's really so accurate in many ways, and it 199 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,320 is in many ways. Secondly, you can also eye disease. 200 00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:33,200 It can recognize things I mean gate analysis. I mean, 201 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,080 this is unbelievable. Now. Is it can replace a veterinarian? 202 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,919 Absolutely not. You still need those eyes. You need to 203 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,519 see what's in front of you. You need to feel. 204 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,080 You can't have a conversation, a really fast conversation individually. 205 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,519 Now you can ask chatch apt all sorts of things 206 00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:53,279 and it'll answer you, but you can't ask a specific 207 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,360 thing about a pet that chatch Ept doesn't know who 208 00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:57,639 it is, and that has never seen. So there's no 209 00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:00,639 fear in my book. I've never seen an AI do 210 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,960 with surgery, draw blood, put a cathlin. So you know, 211 00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:06,360 unless you want to get to the point where WEIMO 212 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:12,720 is of complete robotics, then we may be in some trouble. 213 00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:15,039 But if that happens, trust me, it ain't gonna be 214 00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:16,840 in the next five or ten years. And that's all 215 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,720 I got left in me, So I don't think I 216 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:20,759 have to worry about that. But you know, you never know. 217 00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:22,960 I mean, if you have a drive alongside of WAYMO, 218 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,159 it's fascinating and it's really scary. It's got like a 219 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:28,679 brain of its own. I'm just shocked and amazed. But 220 00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:31,840 it's so cool. Yeah, Marking, he won't stop. Now, that's 221 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,960 a thing, blake. If you leave that test to go in, 222 00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,440 he's still a male. He's still gonna Mark, it makes 223 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,840 no sense. I would like to get a hold of 224 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,039 your No, there's the same thing I get when these 225 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,440 breeders who have you know, I think sometimes breeders, when 226 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,559 they become breeders, they think they just got a DVM degree, 227 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,559 and their vaccine schedules are so outdated, and not only updated, 228 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,480 it's dangerous because they're having starting these these vaccines too early, 229 00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:01,879 interfering with mom's passive immunity, and you're leaving a dog 230 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,519 with no protection. And they're too young at six weeks 231 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,240 or five weeks, they're too young to make their own antibodies. 232 00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:12,279 Their own immune systems aren't developed enough, so you're you're 233 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,159 leaving them as sitting ducks. It's nuts. So remember what 234 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,120 I was so insensed. I mean, I was shocked that 235 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:23,080 these people are getting this advice and breeders. So I 236 00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:26,519 called this breer and I said, I was very nice, 237 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,279 very nice, and I said, hi, my n exact Roy, 238 00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:30,519 just so one of your pups, Oh my god, what 239 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,000 a beautiful dog. And one day I noticed is that 240 00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:35,519 you were you started the vaccines in five weeks. There's 241 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,039 a lot of new data out now about vaccine schedules 242 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,440 and when you should start and what are the ramifications 243 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,399 of starting too early? And I explained them to her 244 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,000 very nicely, and instead of saying, which I would have expected, oh, 245 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,039 thank you so much. That's so good to know, it 246 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,039 was listen here, Sonny. I've been doing this for forty years. 247 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,799 I think I know what I'm doing right now, and 248 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,320 I'm saying, Okay, that's what I'm dealing with. That's what 249 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,159 I'm dealing with. Someone who thinks they know everything. As 250 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,279 we always know, you need to know what you know. 251 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,799 That's important. It's more important to know what you don't know. 252 00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:05,919 But what gets you to trouble is, man, you don't 253 00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,279 know what you don't know. I e. You think you 254 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,399 know it. And here's a perfect example of that. So, 255 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:14,039 Todd are you doing? Come on, I'm loving I'm saying 256 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,720 hi to all these wonderful people. Well, it's an arthritis injection. 257 00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:21,519 It's called adequine. And adequine is oh another one of 258 00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:25,120 the docs talked about adequine and it's really great. It 259 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:31,159 is the original polysulfated glycos amino glycans. It's like a glucosamine. 260 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,399 Speaker 2: It is. 261 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,399 Speaker 1: It's glucosamine, but it's much more effective. So it came 262 00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:37,799 from the horse world where they used to inject horses 263 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:41,799 into articularly inside the joint. And for people and dogs, 264 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,480 not every general practitioner knows can do that called the 265 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,679 joint tap and make sure they're in the joint doing 266 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,960 without hurting anything, without damaging cartilage. So it was left 267 00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:52,759 up to the orthopods. Now we have learned that you 268 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:55,759 can use adequin intramuscularly and it does the same thing, 269 00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:58,360 travels through the bloodscreen of fatic system, it hits the 270 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,840 joint and it does the joint. It helps rebuild cartilage, 271 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,039 it helps minimize some of the inflammation. I mean, it's great. 272 00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:08,000 Here's what this guy said though, So normally when we 273 00:14:08,039 --> 00:14:10,919 do it, we start with the first month, it's twice 274 00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:13,919 a week for a month. After that you do just 275 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,360 once a month, almost like a boost. And what doctor 276 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,600 Campbell was saying, Courtney Campbell, who's great, love him. He 277 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,399 said that the half life is only seventy two hours, 278 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:25,200 three days, which is why you do it twice a 279 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,879 week when you're using it. And he said that where 280 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:30,559 did this once a month come from? It came from 281 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,080 the manufacturer, he thinks, because he wanted to make it 282 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,320 more attractive for both the veterinarian to want to use 283 00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:38,759 and the client to have the veterinarian use it. You 284 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,639 gotta okay, but he says, if you're going to use it, 285 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:44,679 he says, in his opinion, his opinion, you really need 286 00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:46,600 to do it twice a week like all the time, 287 00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:50,159 and then it gets really really expensive. Now, I've had 288 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,440 many of my clients that have gone to this once 289 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,279 a month kind of a booster, and they do fine. 290 00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:59,039 The argument there is when you repair the cartilage by 291 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,639 doing it twice a week week for a month. Now, 292 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,200 it doesn't ruin overnight. It's going to take a while, 293 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,960 so as long as you reboost it once a month, 294 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,080 then they feel that is good enough. So I'll have 295 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:14,159 a little chat with my friend Courtney. But that was 296 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,120 that's what I've heard about REGENTSA. Are you talking about 297 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,080 the new apple quio medication or is that the Maybe 298 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,120 that's the shot that they're talking about, because regents are regenerative. 299 00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:26,240 If that's the case, helinette. If that's the case, I 300 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:29,039 want to look do some more homework on that. There's Librella, 301 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,759 which is a new pain medicine. We could talk about 302 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:32,759 that in a minute. There is adequate that to sort 303 00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:36,200 of getting a rebirth. I'm not familiar with the REGENTSA 304 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:40,799 and understand that as a busy doc. Where do I 305 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,240 get a lot of my knowledge? Of course when I 306 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,120 go to these padehos, but from the drug reps. And 307 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,440 when I don't know about something, I'm blaming the drug 308 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,639 rep of that company not coming to see us, because 309 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,639 they should be priming us and prepping us on these 310 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:58,039 new meds. So that's important. I know there's a new 311 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,600 medication for like I said, dex domatur that you can 312 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,480 use for like a mild in office simple procedure like 313 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,000 going after like exploring a wound that you might have 314 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,879 a fox sail. We used to use dex domatoddin and 315 00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:14,559 then reverse it with antecedent. But there are some issues 316 00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:18,799 with that one called dex domatur because because it really 317 00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:21,240 suppresses the heart rate, this new one doesn't. So I'm 318 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,039 gonna look into that. Let's see what natural men or 319 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,919 will we give a first time flying to la ah boy, 320 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,679 so you know anything like I have my chill, it's 321 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,240 valerian root, passion, flower cavmeal, melatonin, but not every dog 322 00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:37,440 does well with that. But I would recommend is if 323 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,559 they have time, try it first, and that's natural. All 324 00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:44,960 natural stuff. Also el trip to fan. Also all the 325 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,399 things that we know are calming. And the other thing 326 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,759 you can do is maybe it's not really natural, but 327 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,200 it's not a drug drug. Let's go back to benadrul. 328 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,240 You could try that anyway. Don't go away. We have 329 00:16:56,279 --> 00:17:00,480 more questions to answer, and yes, Carol as you could 330 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,879 do better at it. It's not going to be one 331 00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:05,519 hundred percent effective, but it's going to ease up some 332 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,680 of the itching. Don't go away right back after these 333 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:13,960 words from our sponsors here at pet pipe rate, take. 334 00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: A bite out of your competition.

We're 348 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:19,039 just talking about using Klaba box. I love it. The 349 00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:21,960 liquid I like a little better. But the liquid, you know, 350 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,720 it's really meant seven days for one cc twice a day. 351 00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:28,440 It only has four fifteen ccs in it, so it 352 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,599 gets expensive. Pills are cheaper, but you got to do cutting, 353 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,200 and they're really not meant to be cut. And if 354 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,000 you do cut them, you got to reseal the extra 355 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000 piece or put them in a blue container. That's that's 356 00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:40,759 light sensitive? 357 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 2: Is that? 358 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna protect you from the light. They 359 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,559 are light sensitive? All right? New tablet? Oh, it's the 360 00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:50,200 new tablet. What's it for? Is it for for joints? 361 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,319 I have to look it up. It's a chondroit and alternative. Okay, ah, 362 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,960 that's good. So that is something that I will have. 363 00:18:56,079 --> 00:18:59,000 Do you know who makes it? MO to what manufacturer? 364 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,880 That's I gotta yell at some but I want to 365 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,480 look into more. Look, I'm not married to glucosamine. I 366 00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:08,839 think there could be expensive. My flex is much more 367 00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:11,759 reasonable than some of the daccine products out there, but 368 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,720 it's I'd like to look into it, all right. So 369 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,759 here's a good question. Do I do or recommend what 370 00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:21,000 I recommend non Naniseason dentals. If a dog seats have 371 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,759 very mild yellowing so it's not really caked in, here's 372 00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:26,279 what I do. I look at the gums. If the 373 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:29,279 gums are good and it's a young dog who doesn't 374 00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:31,279 have a lot of tartar built up, and it's a 375 00:19:31,279 --> 00:19:33,680 good dog, and I can maybe get by with justin 376 00:19:34,079 --> 00:19:37,920 maybe dextmatotdine or so or this new drug, then absolutely. 377 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,640 It's when you have really bad dental disease and pario 378 00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:44,759 donal disease that you need to get under the gums, 379 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,640 then I highly recommend. I can't require anything for your dog. 380 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,559 You have to make that choice, but I highly advise 381 00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:55,200 an I Seesa dentals. Now for those it's getting expensive, 382 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,519 and I'm not as crazy as some of these other places. 383 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,359 I'm getting quote for a basic dental of fifteen hundred 384 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,759 two thousand dollars. It's crazy, but I would do maybe 385 00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:05,559 every other So if you want, if you if you're 386 00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:08,519 really good, I'll tell you the best solution. Start brushing 387 00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:11,200 your dog's teeth on a regular basis, at least every 388 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,839 other day, if not every day, and you won't need 389 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,119 these dentals every six months or four months. And you know, 390 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,480 I'm just telling you it will make a big difference. 391 00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:21,880 It's the only thing of all these things out there 392 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,720 and the additives and whatever and the food, the best 393 00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:29,359 way to keep your dog's teeth in check is via 394 00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:33,519 brushing them. We can talk more about that anytime. So yeah, 395 00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:35,759 so yeah, the chill is great for that. I would 396 00:20:35,759 --> 00:20:37,440 do that. So I have to look and see if 397 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,200 I have chilled at my office to buy now, he 398 00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:42,480 says Sharon, she will brushing teeth. Well, you know what, 399 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,079 next time you're in, I will show you my trick. 400 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,160 It works ninety five percent of the time. You might 401 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,400 be it might be one of the five, but it works. 402 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,519 I'm like almost almost one hundred percent now right. So 403 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,279 you have four dogs right now brushing their teeth. Well, 404 00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:58,400 you know you do do it every other day, and 405 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,920 do two at a time, so Monday will be two Tuesday, 406 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,200 or the other two Wednesday. The first two to Thursday 407 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,200 and on. That might be a solution for you. How 408 00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:10,599 sushi doing lays cam. Okay, yeah, see as soon as 409 00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:13,279 Sharon absolutely all right, So we talked about AI. Back 410 00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:16,279 to AI, so that seems a hot area. We're seeing 411 00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:18,519 a lot of it. And then now we're also seeing 412 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,200 I mentioned about the medication that we use for mild sedation. 413 00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:25,559 We're seeing a lot. Hey JB. We're seeing a lot 414 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,200 of I would say copycash, that's the wrong term. A 415 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,920 lot of companies out there that are seeing in need 416 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,759 and sometimes it's hard. So Philbro not familiar with them. 417 00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:38,680 Maybe that's why. It's a glucosamine twenty milligrams. It's a 418 00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:41,279 nine romel domin diabetes and seeing some results in flexibility. 419 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:44,640 That's good. I'll look into it. It's not one of 420 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,640 the key I would say key common pharmaceuticals that we 421 00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:51,960 use in veteran medicine, but that doesn't mean anything. It 422 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,880 could be fine aluis small dog or lars what h 423 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,960 So they be neuter for spall. Okay, now now we're 424 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,599 getting to a little bit more philosophical discussions for spaye. 425 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,319 If it's a small breed and you want to get 426 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,920 the most protection from memory cancer, still doing it as 427 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,640 soon as you're adult teeth are in. It's six months, 428 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,599 six and a half months before the first heat, is okay. However, 429 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:17,640 I am more of an advocate because of other problems 430 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,039 we're seeing in dogs that were spade before they even 431 00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:22,440 out of heat, such as you're nearine continence as to 432 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,680 get older, and there may be a correlation or not, 433 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,480 but statistically that's what many of us see. I'd let 434 00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:30,720 her have one heat. Now, do we want to have 435 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,279 a second heat? No? Do we want to be bred 436 00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:34,079 on that first heat? 437 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 3: No? 438 00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:38,599 Speaker 1: So the reason for that is the memory cancer prevention. 439 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,119 It is very very high. If you've spade it before 440 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,200 the first heat. It does drop a little bit if 441 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,240 you let it have one heat, but get them spade 442 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,519 before the second heat. If they have a second heat, 443 00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:51,680 whether it's a second heat or fifth or tenth heat, 444 00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:53,759 it's not going to make a difference. So it's not 445 00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:56,240 like a gradual scale, you know, a little bit less 446 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,480 little risk. It's like ninety eight percent to eighty eight, 447 00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:03,559 ninety percent to zero percent. So the max max is 448 00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:05,680 one heat, but you spayed them before the second heat, 449 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,079 do not let them have that second heat? Now? Wow. 450 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:15,559 Jbjanis Xena is seventeen years old. That is unbelievable. That 451 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,599 is so cool. Wow, I've never had one that old. 452 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,440 You will, many of you know. My black lab made 453 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,680 it to sixteen and a half, which is kind of 454 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,839 like seventeen for small breed. But seventeen, well, happy birthday 455 00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:30,039 to Zena Piani's that's great. That's great. So now as 456 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,480 far as gootering, there are a lot of sex related 457 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:36,440 maturation that I like to see, more so in the 458 00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:39,960 larger giant breeds. So with a small breed, I'll do 459 00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:41,920 it as soon as there you can. As soon as 460 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,720 their adult teeth in, you can do it. I may 461 00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:47,759 you know, ten months, twelve months, that's fine. The large 462 00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:51,480 breeds I kind of liked eighteen months, and the giant 463 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,799 breeds I kind of like two years. Now that's just me. Now, 464 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:57,200 if someone for some reason wanted to get their giant 465 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,640 breed done it at a year and a half, that's 466 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,599 probably okay. But I want, you know, the thing with 467 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,359 the big dogs, they mature more slowly, but they age 468 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,759 more quickly, So I want to get that full maturation 469 00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:12,920 before I knewed her. So we're talking about the giant breeds. 470 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,119 You know that, you know what they are. I just 471 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,319 for example, how a dog go in this week? Kind 472 00:24:16,319 --> 00:24:21,640 of corsos the Newfoundlands Brazilian mastiffs called Brazilian feelies. Oh, 473 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:25,640 let's see new fees. And there's a breed that I 474 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,200 actually saw today one of my neighbors had and it's 475 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,400 a Perinian mastiff. So these are all giant, giant breeds, 476 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,359 Great Danes, Irish wolfhounds, large breeds, and the labradors, the shepherds. 477 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,880 You know a lot of the hunting dogs et cea 478 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,240 that I will do my year and a half. So 479 00:24:39,559 --> 00:24:41,920 but again, something you just you got to talk to 480 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,519 your vet see what they say. I'm sure you know, 481 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,000 line up five different veteran arerans, you're gonna have ten 482 00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:49,480 different opinions. It's just the nature of the beast. So 483 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,319 pardon the pun. All right. We have a four year 484 00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:55,319 old Siberian with dormant Faelvi. When we first got to 485 00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:57,240 our vet, she said it was mac two years to live. 486 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,319 What can we expect? They said it was a dee okay, 487 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,799 so if it was FeLV, then that is tough. I 488 00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:07,279 would say that we see that with f Iv FIV, 489 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,279 we were over worried at the beginning. I've had many 490 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:13,559 cats live on what we should do. I don't know 491 00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:16,559 if it's done since is well. First of all, as 492 00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:19,799 the old expression goes, don't argue with success. So if 493 00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:22,640 things are going well, sit back and relax and enjoy. 494 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,240 Was she ever retested as an adult after that terrible 495 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,480 diagnosis was made? Because that's what I would do. Sometimes 496 00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:34,079 we take these cats very young in testine that will 497 00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:37,559 have been exposed, so their test can show positive, but 498 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,559 their own immune system beats the virus, which is what 499 00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:43,920 we're looking at. In almost every viral case. There's no 500 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,920 drugs we can always use. Sometimes that are new antiviral 501 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,359 drugs that we're seeing more and more of. But I mean, 502 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,039 look look just four four one five two four what 503 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,720 that's done for FIP. I mean, it's literally killing the virus. 504 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,240 It's amazing. But if we can prime the body to 505 00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:03,240 beat its own virus, that's the answer. So sometimes with 506 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:05,400 these dogs, they weren't mature enough at the first test, 507 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,240 and that's why I often wait until at least four months, 508 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:10,759 maybe sometimes five or six months to do the test 509 00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:12,440 because I want to make sure and an even if 510 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,240 it comes back positive and the cat's very healthy, I'll 511 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,119 do another one in two or three months, just to 512 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,079 make sure. So t an easy test to run, not expensive, 513 00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:22,839 could be done in house. So that's what I'd recommend, 514 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,160 all right. Would I get cataract surgery for my dog? Yes, 515 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,119 as a short answer, but under conditions. First of all, 516 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,640 it depends on the age of the dog, how long 517 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,279 the dog's been with the cataracts. Are they truly causing 518 00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:39,160 stress and anxiety in the dog, or if there was 519 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,519 a slow, slow progression of disease, then they're usually pretty good. 520 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,079 They know where everything is, they pick up the sense. Remember, 521 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,759 dogs' eyes are the worst. Their taste is amazing, hearing 522 00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:53,279 is amazing. In their nose, it's unbelievable. So as far 523 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,920 as a sense a century feature the eyes, could they 524 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,359 do without? Yes, I see many many blind dogs now. 525 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,519 Having said that, if I have a dog with bilateral cataracts, oh, 526 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,319 I should preface. If the only one, I would say 527 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,480 hold off. The osthalmologists want to always do both at 528 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,240 the same time, And all they did is one high 529 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,039 And my feeling is if you do one and it 530 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:18,319 seems to work, great, and if it doesn't work, you 531 00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:20,680 can always do the other one. There is obviously it's 532 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,359 going to be less expensive to do both the same 533 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,319 time because you have an extended anesthesia, but it's not 534 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,440 a full anesesia second time around. In my mind, it 535 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,480 would be worth it. But if you are ready and 536 00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:33,799 want to do both, just so you know, they can 537 00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:35,640 do both, but still only one is going to take. 538 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,000 One's gonna work. Now. Also, what they're doing when it 539 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,720 comes to cataract surgery and dogs, they are implanting a lens, 540 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,160 so they're taking out the cataractus lens implanting a new lens. 541 00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:48,920 And interestingly, some of these dogs therefore, because remember dog 542 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:52,559 lenses were not that great, so now they're getting a 543 00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:55,680 lens that's better. So they can see better with that 544 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,319 implanted lens than they ever could before the cataract surgery 545 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,559 or before the even developed. So I mean there's something 546 00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:05,839 to it. I would speak to a federal phomologist, get 547 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,559 you know, all the good news, the bad news, all 548 00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:11,440 the down and dirty and then and the costs involved, 549 00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:15,279 and then make a decision. Oh, Nala, Nala's great. Oh 550 00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:18,200 my god, Blake, thanks for asking. Nala did that. That 551 00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:23,200 was a very large pit bull that had American pit 552 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,359 bull across. I think it was anyway, had a terrible 553 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,880 pio and the piem ruptured. It was like it was 554 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,279 such a mess. We but drains. We flushed the abdomen 555 00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:37,960 a zillion times. We always say dilution is the solution 556 00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:42,599 to pollution. So when you have a septic abdomen and 557 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,160 you want to flush it and flush it, try to 558 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,440 get all that bacteria out. Anyway, she did great, Thanks 559 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,799 for asking. She still doesn't love us very much, but 560 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,920 she did amazingly well. Life with the coreysa hello, Hello. 561 00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:55,599 She's been retested twice and it's been dormant ever since. 562 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,200 We haven't retested since she was two. She's four. Now, 563 00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:00,519 you know, Look, you can do one more test. But 564 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,359 let's put this way, because she's doing well. Is the 565 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,680 result of that test going to change anything. If it 566 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,160 comes back negative, you'll be happier, but it's not gonna 567 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,279 change her. Life's just still limited as long as you 568 00:29:10,359 --> 00:29:13,519 want it to. If a test comes back positive still 569 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,640 but she's been dormant and acting fine, then nothing you 570 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,680 do anyway. So I'm a firm believer when you are 571 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,200 thinking about taking a test of any kind unless you 572 00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:26,440 have this burning desire to know the answer. But it's 573 00:29:26,519 --> 00:29:28,319 just you know, you can take it as long as 574 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,839 you know that if you're not gonna change. That's why 575 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,559 I'm kind of against, not against. I don't push people 576 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,039 into brain MRIs because if there's something going on that 577 00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:39,880 you've narrowed it down and it seems like it's coming 578 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,519 from the brain and you do an MRI, what's she 579 00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:45,440 gonna show you? Ah, they supposed to illusion. Now what 580 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,839 are you gonna do. If you're gonna do radiation, if 581 00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:50,200 you would consider some sort of surgical procedure, if it's 582 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,480 even surgical, then yes, do the test. But if you 583 00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:56,400 said no, I'm not gonna spend thousands of dollars on radiation, 584 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,200 I'm not gonna do a brain sort whatever it is, 585 00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:00,880 then unless you have a burn design to no, don't. 586 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,720 Don't waste your money on the test. All right, Next 587 00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:06,680 up van their pumps. Hi, guys, we're just talking back 588 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,720 to this weekend. Something going blind, you know, if well, 589 00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:13,160 if it's a cataract, it already is blind. But yes, 590 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,440 if that's what your goal is, then of course, talk 591 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,880 to the ophthalmologists, get the one eye, two eyes, whatever, 592 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,440 and proceed. If the dog was miserable because of it, 593 00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:26,000 proceed if the dog was getting long and like the 594 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,279 old joke, just don't change around the furniture. But if 595 00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:31,759 they are manipulating or getting through everything, they're happy, they're 596 00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:34,720 going on their walks. Then most of the times, unless 597 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,559 they're a diabetic cataract, we see them when they're they 598 00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:39,519 get a character as a very old dog. So you 599 00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:41,359 got to keep that in mind as well. See your 600 00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:44,920 dog's eyes. Well, it depends. Drops for what if there's 601 00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:48,599 some sort of conjunctive itis, if there's discharge, yes, they're drops. 602 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:53,279 Are there drops to help slow down cataract formation? Someone 603 00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,079 told me there is something to go out there. I 604 00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:58,200 can look into it, but that's that's a question for 605 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,079 another show. All right. Recommend to large dogs. They don't 606 00:31:01,079 --> 00:31:03,920 get that flip belly. Okay, so you're looking at GDV 607 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,359 a gastric dileitation of volvulus, which causes that big bloat. 608 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,400 It is potentially deadly if you don't get to it 609 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,920 soon enough on a routine basis. God, if it's been 610 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,240 in the family line, then I would during a spay 611 00:31:16,359 --> 00:31:19,200 one hundred percent offer it. That's the best time to 612 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,640 do it because you already have the abdomen opened. It's 613 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,559 an extending the decision cranial just a little bit. You 614 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,440 tack the right side of the stomach to the right 615 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,039 body wall and that will keep it locked so it 616 00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:33,880 can't flip. That A no brainer, a neuter, especially now 617 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,519 that we're doing laser neuters, we're doing them in with 618 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:41,000 in the scrotum. It's a whole nother surgery and it 619 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:44,720 makes it more expensive. Is it wrong? Absolutely not. However, 620 00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:46,599 I will tell you and I don't do it, but 621 00:31:46,839 --> 00:31:50,279 some of the facilities now can do it with the laparoscope. 622 00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:53,680 So they could do a laparoscopic tacking of the stomach 623 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,480 to the body wall, which is expensive, but it is 624 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,599 much less on the body as far as the train 625 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,759 on the body. You're not doing a full abdominal incision. 626 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,319 You're not digging in there, you're moving stuff out of 627 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,319 the way. And so if money was no object, or 628 00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:11,000 you it was within a budget you can handle, and 629 00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:14,960 you wanted to do it, I would recommend laproscopic. That's 630 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,759 a really good question. You know what, let me you know. Blake, 631 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,279 my cousin, is a retired cat vet. He was one 632 00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:25,160 of the first veterinarians in the country to go all 633 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,720 feline at the time people thought he was nuts and 634 00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:32,000 now it's not common. But there are dozens about hundreds 635 00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:35,359 of feline only practitioners across the country. Let me call them. 636 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,119 That would be a great question to ask, and then 637 00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:41,480 I'll get back to you. Nor for senior dog's eyes 638 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,160 become a bit lighter, Okay, Yes, that we're talking about. 639 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,559 That's a normal age change called lenticular or nuclear sclerosis. 640 00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:53,680 It's a scarring of the lens capsule. The lens get capsuled, 641 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,519 it's a little thicker, it reflects. Therefore light not all 642 00:32:56,559 --> 00:33:00,400 the light penetrates through, so we see that lightest blue 643 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,519 hayes when you look at the pupil. That's normal. So yeah, 644 00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,799 I'm not worried. In order for that in normal cases, 645 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,519 I mean, there are exceptions to every rule, as you know, 646 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,599 but in normal cases, my tagline is in order for 647 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:19,960 that process to completely obstruct vision, to form a cataract, 648 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,759 it's a precataractus condition. By definition, it's evolving the lens, 649 00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:25,559 but it's not the inside lens, it's the lens capital. 650 00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:27,759 But anyway, the dog we have to live to about 651 00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:30,880 thirty five or forty, so obviously that's not gonna happen, 652 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,920 so we don't usually worry about it. I would not 653 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,400 recommend any kind of surgery if the only problem. And 654 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,799 these dogs don't get blind, but you might notice in 655 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,599 low lights they might have some vision impairment, but they're 656 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,160 basically Okay. Remember when you come in half at night, 657 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,400 they're not looking at you, they're smelling you. Okay. I 658 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,279 think I waived everybody, and you guys are been great today. 659 00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:53,160 Thanks for coming on an hour later.

I wrote my most rewarding case that reminded 668 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,880 me of why I want to remember that. I mean, 669 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,400 we can talk about it. I'll tell you what next week. Okay, 670 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,119 very good, see you guys next week.
