Petlifradio dot com.

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,359
Speaker 3: I'm a good week. I actually last Thursday to go

26
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:39,159
to Chicago, and I love that. It's a breakdown.

27
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,159
Speaker 2: AVMA, the American Veteran Medical Association meetings, is one that

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,640
changes cities every year, and it just so happens that

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,599
the AVMA is based in Schanberg, Illinois, which is the

30
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,560
suburb I think that. You know, I do know Chicago

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,959
very well. I think this AHAs suburb about northwest of Chicago.

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,680
But what a great town. The weather it was amazing.

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,159
It was so gorgeous and hot, Oh my god, it's

34
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,760
muggy during the day. And and they have a great

35
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,520
set of restaurants. A talent of Chicago is just great

36
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,840
and plenty of plates to eat. The convention hall was fantastic.

37
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:15,199
It was a great meeting, a great conference. Some you know,

38
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:17,159
new things, you know, we see a lot of things

39
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:20,080
and new procedures, new drugs.

40
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:20,599
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

41
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if we talked about the new drug

42
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,319
in coming out by one of the big companies. It

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,599
is Zoetis, and Zoetis is a company that is the

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,800
offshoot on the veterinary division, the animal division of Animal Health,

45
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,400
so Pfizer Animal Health, which division of obviously the big

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,120
monster Pfizer is now called Zoetis, and they are coming

47
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:41,919
on with a great product which I'm going to share

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,520
with you in a minute. But we have a caller

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,800
online with us. I want to get callers first. I'm

50
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,360
going to come back and talk about this new fantastic

51
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,439
product from Zoetas.

52
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: Hello caller, Hi, Hi.

53
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: I'm calling because my name is Richard. I'm calling. I've

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,639
got thank you. I'm calling because I've got a puppy

55
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,520
who's about nine months old. Uh huh, and he's a

56
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:05,000
cross between a shitsu and a terrier. Okay, so he's

57
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:09,400
about twenty twenty five pounds, right, and he's very healthy.

58
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,360
But whenever we leave him, he tends to get pretty

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,159
bad diarrhea, which I think is result of stress.

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

61
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: So the question is is there either a medicine we

62
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:23,759
can give him to reduce the stress or help his diarrhea,

63
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,560
or should we change his diet when we're going to

64
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:26,960
be away.

65
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,039
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, you know, first of all, that

66
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,120
is puppies they get very excited, nervous, and this is

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,599
what happens.

68
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: They get stressful.

69
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: So I would recommend I don't think it's a matter

70
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:37,520
of changing diet, because sometimes that and of itself can

71
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,280
cause more problems even when you're not going away, so

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,120
that might backfire on you. One of the things I

73
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:45,719
would like to see you do is to start minimizing

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,520
the stress.

75
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:47,319
Speaker 3: How do you do that?

76
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,759
Speaker 2: Well, what he's experiencing is probably under the realm of

77
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,879
what we call separation anxiety. He is getting so worked up,

78
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,599
probably even before you leave, based on some of the

79
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:59,960
clues that you are giving as you're preparing to leave,

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,560
that by the time you leave, his world is caving

81
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:04,520
in on him and he just having a tough time

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,039
handling it.

83
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:06,319
Speaker 3: So a couple of things you need to do.

84
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: First of all, you need to start minimizing the cues

85
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,759
that you're giving when you're starting to leave, meaning you know,

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,520
if you're you know you're getting your keys and you're

87
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,600
getting your bag and whatever it is. Do that even

88
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:18,560
before you leave, and maybe put it outside the front

89
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,360
door or a back door wherever it is. However you

90
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,680
leave several minutes before you actually go. Another thing is

91
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,959
is you I'm sure as a nine month old puppy,

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,040
you're doing a lot of playing with him, and there

93
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,879
are certain toys that he is recognizing as toys that

94
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:34,800
you play with him as opposed to some toys that

95
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,759
if you're not currently using. You want to try to

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,519
find that he in a sense can play with by himself.

97
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,839
And that's also very important because we need to start

98
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:48,199
eliminating the reminders of you. So when you're starting to

99
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,319
leave and you're preparing to go, anything that you see

100
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,160
around the house.

101
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:53,639
Speaker 3: That is typically a toy that you play with him, you.

102
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: Want to start putting away and get him started on

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,079
one of his Okay, buddy, here's your toys that you

104
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:01,800
play with by yourself. These are toys that might be

105
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,279
deliver some sort of treat by themselves. There are so

106
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:08,560
many inter toys that will actually self reward, self reinforce

107
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,920
as they play, and you want to start using that.

108
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,600
And also, for about a half tif before you leave,

109
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:15,639
start minimizing the direct contact you have with the puppy.

110
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,639
I mean, don't be mean and don't ignore him, but

111
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,600
just don't be as you know, friendly and as warm

112
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:23,600
and cuddly. He has to start learning about independence. Another

113
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:27,079
thing you can do is there is some pheromone sprays

114
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:31,319
that are very effective that can sort of calm him down.

115
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:35,720
There are also some natural calming supplements that have things

116
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,160
like camameal and passion flower and valerian rout So those

117
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,800
are some nice things that are very safe, very effective

118
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:45,800
that you can use as well as the for example,

119
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,680
the adaptic which is made by Siva formerly DAP dog

120
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:52,480
appeasing pheromone, and you can use that and spray that

121
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,800
in his area again before you leave. It sort of

122
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,639
will settle.

123
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: Him down a little bit.

124
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,519
Speaker 2: Another thing you can start doing is start practicing with him,

125
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,199
and that is have him do all this stuff, leave

126
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,199
the house as if you're going away like you normally do,

127
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:07,879
but I want you to wait, wait about two minutes

128
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:10,199
or three minutes, and then come back in. And when

129
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,040
you come back in, don't go nuts when you see him. Typically,

130
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,720
when you're gone all day and you finally come home,

131
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,079
what do you do? What's your puppy's name? Okay, boo?

132
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:20,519
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what are you doing?

133
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:20,759
Speaker 2: Good?

134
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: Oh, you did the good boy right.

135
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: So meanwhile he is looking so forward to that that

136
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,199
that's one of the reasons why he's getting so anxious

137
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,519
when you're gone. So when you come home, when you

138
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:31,839
have a dog, that separates anxiety kind of walk in

139
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,120
like who the heck are You just kind of ignore

140
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,800
him for a few minutes, and when you do start

141
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,560
giving you some attention, do it more subtly, and then

142
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,519
you start increasing and reward him for being so good.

143
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,079
And then you do the same thing and you leave

144
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,079
for five minutes and then for fifteen minutes. And the

145
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,439
whole idea is he'll never know when you're coming home,

146
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,759
but he knows you're coming home, and when you come home,

147
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:52,360
you're gonna come in. You're gonna give them a nice

148
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,240
pat on the head. You're not gonna go crazy. You'll

149
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,600
give him a food reward for being so good, behaving

150
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,959
so well. And that's how they learn to a n

151
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,240
miss you so much and not go so crazy looking

152
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,319
forward to your return. But they become it becomes part

153
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:09,040
of routine, and we need to make his boo you

154
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,439
know you're being gone. His routine is he gets to

155
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,879
play with himself by himself. When he comes home, he

156
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:15,720
knows he's gonna get a little treat. But you don't

157
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,439
want to make it like that. You're such hot stuff

158
00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:20,680
that he's gonna miss you really appreciate it, all right,

159
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,720
So try that stuff.

160
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:23,079
Speaker 3: Go one at a time, Go slow.

161
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,079
Speaker 2: The calling powders and formulas you can find make sure

162
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:29,560
they're natural. And I said the adaptic spray or collar

163
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,079
is also a great a caller by a DAP that

164
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:34,839
might help chill his personality out a little bit.

165
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,199
Speaker 4: All right, that's wonderful.

166
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:39,319
Speaker 2: And Richard, thanks for calling. And if you want to

167
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:41,920
call back to a pet Life radio and ask for Mark,

168
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:43,680
you'll give them all your information, will send you out

169
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:46,759
something will probably send out a nice puppy vitamin for

170
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:51,759
for Boo much all right, thanks thanks for calling. Okay,

171
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,720
so anyway, we want to thank Richard for calling. He's

172
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,279
gonna we're gonna ship him out a bottle of my

173
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,319
pro Sense puppy vitamins that we can make sure bo

174
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,480
grows up to be a nice, strong, healthy pub Anyway,

175
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,319
So here at the trade show, there's you know, lots

176
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,160
of new things. We're talking about the new company Zoetis.

177
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:10,319
And one of the things you notice, especially when you're

178
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:12,279
living in a warm climate, and pretty much this time

179
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:15,319
of year, everywhere is a warm climate, and we see

180
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:18,519
a lot of allergic disease when it's moist like Chicago

181
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,120
because the humidity and most places in the southeast, Southwest

182
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680
and northeast the base. It's really really dry this time

183
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,920
of year, is like in the deserts like Nevada. So

184
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,639
we see a lot of skin problems. We see a

185
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,000
lot of fleas, and we see a lot of allergic

186
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:37,080
skin disease pollens, molds, weeds, grasses, et cetera. Well, we

187
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,480
have never really had a direct method of treating pet

188
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:44,919
allergy because we never had the equivalent of the histamine

189
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:47,720
identified in dogs. By that, I mean when we have

190
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:52,399
in people. When there areselves that respond to the allergic stimuli,

191
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,000
they release a substance called histamine. It is histamine the

192
00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:58,759
transmitter that is causing all It's a mediator of the

193
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:02,000
inflammatory sponse. It's causing all the problems that we start

194
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,320
feeling from the running eyes, running nose, the itchy neck, whatever. Well,

195
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,120
there is no histamine doesn't play a huge role in

196
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:14,480
the canine allergy. So the mediators that did were not blockable,

197
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:17,159
and therefore we would have to rely on a broad

198
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,399
spectrum type of anti inflammatory, anti itch iminosuppressions to treat

199
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:26,879
severe canine allergy. Steroids was one, Cyclosporine is another. Well,

200
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,960
the folks at Zotis have identified a cellular mediator responsible

201
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,759
for the canine inflammatory slash allergic response and a drug

202
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,240
to block it. So now we will have the equivalent

203
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:44,919
of an antihistamine for dogs and the drug is going

204
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,960
to be released. They've already passed FDA. They're looking for

205
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,320
a first quarter release and that's going to be great,

206
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,559
and that's kind of one of the things that we've

207
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,679
learned about. There's also some new fleet products out there.

208
00:09:56,879 --> 00:09:59,240
One that's relatively new by Murk hasn't really hit the

209
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,279
market yet. It's trying called Actaville. Done very tested very

210
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:05,960
well in the labs. I will say that one of

211
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,320
the labs I spoke to, Comfortison Trifectus have done very well.

212
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:12,039
Vector has done very well. So there are some really

213
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,960
really good products out there. I also met somebody that

214
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,759
had a fantastic product that I really liked a lot.

215
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:24,879
And it is a microchip and more importantly a microchip registry.

216
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,639
And the reasons why more importantly is because a lot

217
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,240
of you, I'm sure and rightly so, already have your

218
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,440
pets microchip, so you don't have to go run out

219
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,519
and get another chip. You can register with this registry,

220
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:36,399
but if you haven't, if you don't have a microchip.

221
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,759
You definitely want to look into into this company. They're

222
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:42,399
just launching now, don't even have the name of it yet,

223
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:44,960
but it's really really a great product. Here's here's how

224
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,720
it works. When you register, you're going to get an

225
00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:50,639
aluminum tag means it's a tag that's going to last,

226
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:53,600
and it's going to have a number, the microchip number

227
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,279
on it and a phone number, and it's going to

228
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,320
say Google this number.

229
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: So when you go on to.

230
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:00,759
Speaker 2: Your Google on your phone, you're smart phone, you know,

231
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:02,960
the box comes up. In that box that says Google.

232
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,720
All you have to do is put in the tag number.

233
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,879
That's going to immediately bring up a page and you're

234
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:11,919
going to write in your contact info. I'll mind you

235
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:14,399
you're the finder. And if you want to put a message, Hi,

236
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,080
I found.

237
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: Your dog, he's adorable whatever.

238
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,279
Speaker 2: As soon as you hit send, the owner of the

239
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,120
dog is going to get an instant alert to their

240
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,039
phone and it's going to say, Hi, my name is

241
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,000
John and I have your dog. And then a map,

242
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,279
a Google map is going to pop up immediately with

243
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,840
your phone on. It knows your location and the guy

244
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,600
or girl, the woman that found your dog. It's going

245
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,039
to have his or her location, and you're going to

246
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,639
have one of those Google maps with point you know,

247
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,840
an ACE and a B and you can see exactly

248
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,720
where the person is standing that spot with your dog

249
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,000
or pet or cat whatever.

250
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: And then the.

251
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: Camera, you know, the satellite picture comes up and you

252
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,399
can actually see their house. You'll have to see them

253
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,000
standing there hopefully holding your pet. How cool is that?

254
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,559
And I mean you think something like this is super expensive,

255
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,960
it's not registrations like twenty bucks, a one time fee,

256
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,519
no annual fee. So I think this is fantastic technology

257
00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:12,399
and keep tuning in.

258
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,279
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it.

259
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:15,759
Speaker 2: If you want to send me some questions about its specifics,

260
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:18,039
I'll get you the name. I think veterinarians are just

261
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,720
learning about it now, as did I, so I don't

262
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,799
even have it yet. I don't have the registration forms.

263
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:24,600
I told the guy to send them out to me

264
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,039
so I can start reregistering my current patients that have

265
00:12:29,159 --> 00:12:31,679
micro tips. And that's a lot onto this and it

266
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,679
doesn't preclude you if you're registered with one of the

267
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,159
other companies like twenty four hour or home Again or Avid,

268
00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:39,159
makes no difference. You can register to both. And it's

269
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,720
just a great way to actually put you in direct

270
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:46,519
contact with the person that finds your pet, whether it's

271
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:49,519
a shelter, whether it's another veterinan hospital, or whether it's

272
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,960
a good Samaritan individual who was walking along and saw

273
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:56,320
your dog running around looking frightened and wants to do

274
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,840
something for your poor little guy.

275
00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: So I think it's a great idea. The things we learn.

276
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: Of course, diets, we're learning so much more about foods.

277
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,679
One of the speakers I heard was just having us

278
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:11,960
use a bit more caution if we insist on cooking

279
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,679
our own pets food, not to say that it can't

280
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:19,159
be done, but just warning us that you really should

281
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,200
work with a veteran nutritionist, just to make sure you're

282
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,759
adding all the correct supplements in the right amounts, as

283
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:30,000
far as the vitamins in the minerals, the essential amino acids.

284
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:32,759
You know, these are things that do separate us from

285
00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:36,039
our pets, and actually separate dogs from cats. So there

286
00:13:36,039 --> 00:13:37,399
are certain things if you're going to have a home

287
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:39,919
cooked diet for a cat, you need to make sure

288
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,360
your cat gets enough touring because with touring deficiency that

289
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,679
can lead to certain types of heart disease called cardiomyopathy,

290
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,279
and I mean you're not going to go to a

291
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:50,519
health food stores. Oh I want to buy some tourine,

292
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,919
and if you do, you're not going to know how

293
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,840
much to add. So it's one of those things where

294
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:56,679
it's very, very very important to work with a pro

295
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,919
when you're going to use things like that. I think

296
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:04,679
it's important. Anyway, we are approaching our midway point in

297
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,200
the show, so I want to have you go ahead

298
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:08,960
and we're to take a quick break. I want to

very very affordable, great products that the equivalents you can

305
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,799
find out a vet hospital, but it's going to cost

306
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,960
you two or three times as much. So we're back

We will tell stories about the animals and interesting topics

346
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:26,960
about the animals in our lives. Each of the interviews

347
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,400
will give you a firsthand knowledge about why the authors

00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:32,519
and writers chose a particular story, what the future animals

349
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:34,680
meant to them, and what has become of those animals

350
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,319
that we've talked about. And of course I'll also share

351

join us on Skype because we're on Skype, but to

380
00:19:20,039 --> 00:19:23,559
doctor Jeff at Petlife Radio dot com. So we were

381
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:26,680
talking about the AVMA, the American Veterinan Medical Association meeting.

382
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,200
It's one of the big of you know, maybe five

383
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:32,640
meetings a year that many many vets go to. They're

384
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,119
the national meetings. So we have every January is the

385
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,880
North American Veterinaric Conference and that's in Orlando. Next month

386
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,240
in February, you have the Western Veterinari Conference at every

387
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:47,519
year in Las Vegas. Then in every March is AHA,

388
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,279
the American Animal Hospital Association, and that, like the AVMA,

389
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,480
which is usually every July, is the one that changes

390
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:55,319
cities every year and they try to, you know, just

391
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,559
that way everybody gets a chance to have a chance

392
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,920
hosting one of the big meetings. And then next month

393
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,720
at the end of the month, I think it's August

394
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:07,559
twenty third, off to Kansas City for Central Veteranight Conference

395
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:10,240
and the CVC. It's one of these growing, growing conference.

396
00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:12,480
I think it's now in operation. I think they're celebrating

397
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,440
their twenty fifth anniversary. I remember, I mean when I

398
00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:18,839
started practicing thirty years ago that there was no CVC,

399
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:21,160
and I've watched it growing. I mean I speak there

400
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,599
a lot. It is actually sponsored and hosted by Advanced

401
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:28,440
Star Communications. ADVANCEDAR also puts out Veteran Economics magazine, the

402
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:31,759
number one red magazine, and I happen to be on

403
00:20:31,839 --> 00:20:34,960
the board of Veteran Economics, so I often, you know,

404
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:37,079
attend a meeting at the CVC, and I often speak

405
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:39,920
at the CVC, which is the central, the main one,

406
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,279
which is Kansas City every August or they also have

407
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,920
one in the East and usually in Baltimore, and one

408
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,039
in the West in San Diego.

409
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: But I have just watched these these trade shows grow

410
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:51,440
and grow and grow.

411
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: The North American Veterinary Conference has to actually has two

412
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,519
exhibit halls because it's it's so massive that they've gone

413
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:00,920
from one hotel to two hotels. Well, and they have

414
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:03,720
conferences to talks at both of the hotels. That's how

415
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,440
huge these conferences are getting. And you know, the biggest

416
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,480
thing is that when you learn, and this was a

417
00:21:09,599 --> 00:21:12,599
point that was just driven into us back when we

418
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,960
were in veterinary school. And it's a frightening fact that

419
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,279
every five years half of what was accepted as gospel

420
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,279
is now obsolete. That means when you are I pull

421
00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:25,559
out old notes and I still have amapak rat, so

422
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:28,519
I still have old textbooks from when I was in school,

423
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:31,400
these textbooks that were published in the mid and late seventies,

424
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:34,319
and I open them now and it is so funny.

425
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,519
I mean they're talking medications, drugs, procedures that we don't

426
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:40,640
ever do anymore. So that's why when you've been out

427
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,319
of school, it is not only critical, but you know,

428
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,680
it's essential and mandatory that we get these continuing education

429
00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:50,640
seminars that we go to them because without it, when

430
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,880
you think of every five years, half of what was

431
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:57,920
accepted as the you know, major fact major gospel is obsolete,

432
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,680
then you can imagine. So when you're out thirty years,

433
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,240
that's six five year periods. Okay, so five years half

434
00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:06,359
and another five years, another half of that year down

435
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,000
to a quarter. Then you're down to an eighth and

436
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:11,200
the sixteenth. I mean, basically everything is new. And it's

437
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,240
funny because whenever I have new associates, young associates just

438
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:17,640
having graduated, done their internships, and you know, they'll laugh

439
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:20,000
at some of the things that we still talk about

440
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,240
because they look at some of these older books that

441
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,680
we have because I have been here in the hospital,

442
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,480
we have a library, they're worth something.

443
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 3: I think they're worth.

444
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:29,759
Speaker 2: Saving, just because it's amazing when you see how things

445
00:22:29,799 --> 00:22:31,799
have changed over the years. But when you go to

446
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,000
these conferences, you go to these trade shows, that's what's

447
00:22:34,039 --> 00:22:37,279
so great about them because it's a fantastic way to

448
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,359
learn from most of these speakers at the university level,

449
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,359
experts in their fields. And instead of sitting in a

450
00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:46,119
classroom again because obviously we can't go back to school,

451
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:48,880
we are getting from these conferences, and I go to

452
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,440
a lot of them, four or five a year, just

453
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:53,960
the information that is going to keep us current, and

454
00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:56,559
it's so interesting that I will have. I'll get a

455
00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:00,519
referral from a person and I'm looking at the the record,

456
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,319
so I'm talking him on the phone and they will

457
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,000
tell me that the doctor used some drug and I

458
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,599
will say, I betcha that this doctor was like sixty five,

459
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,599
and they go, he was pretty old, And I said,

460
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,279
because I.

461
00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: Don't know of anybody using that drug anymore.

462
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: So that's one of the reasons why when I first

463
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:20,839
went to my into business, I joined my ex boss

464
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,200
and we worked together when I was a technician for

465
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,079
a number of years. And it wasn't until I got

466
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,559
out of school and learning things relatively new back then,

467
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,160
this is in the early eighties that I realized that

468
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,079
relatively some of the stuff that he was doing was

469
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,440
a bit antiquated. And it wasn't until he went to

470
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,400
a trade show and one of the things I afforded

471
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,359
him was the possibility ability to go leave the office

472
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:44,960
for a couple of days.

473
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:45,279
Speaker 3: That's the thing.

474
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: We're all workaholics, so we love being in our hospitals

475
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:49,079
to actually go to a trade tour to get some

476
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,000
what we call ce continuing education. And he came back

477
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,119
and he said, boy, he says, I learned one thing. Well,

478
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,519
I learned a lot of things, he says, but one

479
00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:58,440
thing I learned is how much my new associate knows.

480
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,440
And so that's why so important. And I just value

481
00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:06,279
the information that I glean from my young associates because

482
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,240
it's a great way to learn. I always joke I'm

483
00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:10,400
going to continue to hire new associates so that way

484
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:13,480
I'm always getting continue education just by being at work

485
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:15,960
every day. So these meetings are great and I said,

486
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:18,119
learned a lot is the new products coming out. You

487
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,440
should certainly check with your veterinarians. Meds, medications, drugs, behavior,

488
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:26,200
It's always a hot topic. Rehab is a hot topic.

489
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:29,759
It's also really great to see how many of your

490
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:36,279
traditional veterinarian are accepting some of the new modalities like acupuncture,

491
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,799
like chiropractic, like true physical therapy, like herbs, things that.

492
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:42,279
Speaker 3: You know.

493
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,759
Speaker 2: Some of the old timers never except the us to

494
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,240
laugh and call it voodoo, and now we're seeing the major,

495
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,960
major benefits and health advantages to these products. So anyway,

496
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,799
I want to thank Richard or caller. Hopefully Boo grows

497
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,480
up to be a nice, healthy pupp who survives survives

498
00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:02,960
a separation anxiety, and we're gonna get out some puppy

499
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,440
vitamins for those of you who almost had the courage
