And this is a virtual 6 00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,840 office at the Sacramento Airport in Sacramento, California, waiting for 7 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,200 a flight of mind to take off in a little 8 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,719 over an hour. And what better place to talk to 9 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,079 everybody ask the vets of doctor Jeff Here on pet 10 00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:54,079 Life Radio.

And 13 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,679 you know, I don't talk a whole lot about prosen 14 00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:05,200 so I'm gonna throw my little feel in. You know. Basically, 15 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,879 I teamed up with pro Sense to develop you know, 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,359 sort of very high quality pet wellness, preventive medicine and 17 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:16,040 nutrition care for dogs and cats that you the kind 18 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,959 of a regular person can afford. I mean, you go 19 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,959 to the veterinarian and let's face it, I am one. 20 00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:21,840 I know it gets a little costly. We have a 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,359 lot of costs involved with setting up our practices, and 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,920 yet I want to bring to everybody the best out there. 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,079 So I teamed up with Prosents and we have really 24 00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,680 great products and they are available to you for you know, 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,599 much less expensive and a lot of the products I 26 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:37,519 would sell at my clinic. And you know, major mass 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,000 retailers like Walmart, like Target, like Walgreens, atb stores, you 28 00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:43,319 name it, We're in there and I really want to 29 00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:45,519 have you go in and get these products to help 30 00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:49,079 your pets stay healthy. So you might ask, maybe not asking, 31 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,519 but I'm gonna ask for you. What am I doing 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,280 up in Sacramento, California. Well, first of all, I went 33 00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:54,879 to school up in there here, you know, at NARSI 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,079 of California, at Davis. But more importantly, I just came 35 00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:01,799 from what they called Humane Lobby Day. And this is 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,519 really a kind of a fascinating day. And this is 37 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,519 where all the human groups in the state of California 38 00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:11,159 get to stand in front of legislatures and lobbyists and 39 00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:12,879 really throw their two cents in. And there were a 40 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280 number of bills and for any of you that are 41 00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:18,599 in California and can vote on these things, I definitely 42 00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:21,879 would highly encourage you to call your state center's office 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,159 and help these things past. They've already gone through Assembly, 44 00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:25,960 they're now in front of the Senate, and it's really 45 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,639 important to get these bills passed to A particular that 46 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:30,479 just really struck on nerve with me. One is called 47 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,280 AB seven to eleven, and this is where it is 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,199 going to ban the use of lead ammunition for hunters. 49 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,840 And what's interesting is is that when these hunters, which 50 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:43,159 believe me, I am not a fan, but when they 51 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,960 hunt and they kill these animals with lead, the lead 52 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,840 gets into the meat. So either people that eat that 53 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,719 meat or other animals that eat that meat, especially especially 54 00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:56,520 some of our state protected birds like the California condor 55 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,479 and the golden eagle, when they eat on this carry on, 56 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,240 they can actually get and die from lead poisoning. So 57 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,199 and even hunters agree that there are much better alternatives 58 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,639 out there, So you want to let your state centers 59 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,719 know to support AB seven eleven. Another one that again 60 00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:13,639 sends me a lot is called AB twelve thirteen. That's 61 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,120 one two, one three, and this is going to ban 62 00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:22,039 the trapping and killing of bobcats near state sanctuaries. I mean, 63 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,360 what's the point of giving a place for these cats 64 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,159 to roam and live and then killing them setting up traps, 65 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000 and that's exactly what's happening. In fact, the number of 66 00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:33,639 bobcats that were trapped and killed at Joshua Tree National 67 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,240 Forest last year rose by eight hundred percent. 68 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,039 Speaker 3: That is frightening. 69 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,599 Speaker 2: So this is going to ban the setting and the 70 00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:46,199 use of traps in any conservation areas for these wild animals. 71 00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:49,120 So I really encourage you to go out and vote 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,960 against these bills. Another one which I kind of liked 73 00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:53,599 is it's AB three thirty nine, and when that one does, 74 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,120 it prohibits the sale of live animals that California Swap meets. 75 00:03:57,199 --> 00:03:58,960 So again, for those of you who do in California, 76 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,319 do us a favor, yourselves a favor, do your pets 77 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:03,840 and favorite, do our wildlife a favor, and call your 78 00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:06,319 local center's office and let them you like them to 79 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,560 support those bills at three thirty nine, seven eleven, and 80 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:10,360 twelve thirteen. 81 00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: So what else. 82 00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:13,639 Speaker 2: So then I had a chance to be on a 83 00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,120 local radio station this morning here in Sacramento. It's Star 84 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,000 one of six point five, had a great interview with 85 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,800 Greg Tanner. And Greg Tanner is new to Sacramento, and 86 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,279 he is a major animal nut. So you know, anytime 87 00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:27,040 I have an opportunity to talk to somebody who's crazy 88 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,399 about pets as I am, I am thrilled. So again, 89 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,279 you might want to listen online and you can go 90 00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:36,879 onto the website and listen to me and Greg have 91 00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:37,600 a great chat. 92 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: So I want to hear from you. Hello, Hi, can 93 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,240 you hear me? Go ahead? Yeah I can, Oh, okay great. 94 00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:47,639 Speaker 4: My sister has a dog and she lives next door 95 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,759 to mill next door next to my house. She has 96 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,279 as like an adjoining two houses. And every time I 97 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,279 go into her house, because you know, she walks into mind. 98 00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:58,199 Let's say I go in to say hello, bring her 99 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,639 the mail or something, her dog start barking and attacks me, 100 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,560 and just like I walk in and then you know, 101 00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,240 and I tell him, Charlie, stop it. 102 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,959 Speaker 1: You know it's me. 103 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: It's me, And I don't know it's because I walk 104 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,800 in and maybe I'm excitable or something, but he should 105 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:18,519 recognize me, might find out. But he's always like attacks 106 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,920 me and I have to tell him no, Charlie, no. 107 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 3: How old is Charlie. 108 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: I don't know about only because sometimes you wonder, I mean, 109 00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:28,920 dogs have an amazing sense of smell. But you know, 110 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,639 sometimes in the house they are so protective of their 111 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,360 environment it does take them a second to realize. And 112 00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:36,639 for example, if I walk into my own house late 113 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:38,839 at night and it's dark, even my own dogs will 114 00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:40,639 bark way more and say, hey, guys, shut up, it's me. 115 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,120 So that's a possibility. And maybe what you should have 116 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:46,279 your is it your sister in law's house. You said, no, 117 00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:49,879 your sister. Okay, What I would have you do is 118 00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:52,480 you should let your sister give you some of Charlie's 119 00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:55,160 favorite treats. And every time you should come over, like 120 00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,319 five or six times in one day, and every time 121 00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,160 you walk in the door, give him one of his 122 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,120 favorite treats, and have your sister no longer give these treats. 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,600 So what's going to happen is that hopefully he is 124 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,000 going to look forward to you coming in. He's gonna 125 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,079 say the heck with you, mom. He wants I want 126 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,879 your sister because you're you're the one that's going to 127 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:14,800 be given all the treats. 128 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 3: So that's another way to sort of get him to 129 00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:19,519 really say, where's where's my ant? I want her now? 130 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: Because I get these treats. So when he finally does 131 00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:24,399 recognize you, does he warm up pretty quickly? 132 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, Once he knows I tell him, Charlie, it's me, 133 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,519 stop it, you know. But it's like and he usually 134 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,240 attacks me. Right when I'm going into the kitchen, I 135 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:35,879 kill bark and then I walk into the living room. 136 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,360 He's sitting on the couch and he sees me walking 137 00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:41,480 and he barks, and then I continue walking into the 138 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,319 Usually I go in there. Of course, I got to 139 00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:46,480 rate her refrigerator. And as I'm walking into the kitchen, 140 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,560 that's when he attacks me. He'll just jump off the 141 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,480 couch and attack me, and I say, hey, stop it, 142 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,879 it's me, Charlie, stop it. 143 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,079 Speaker 3: Uh huh. Yeah. So that's all we have to. 144 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:03,759 Speaker 2: Of course, of course, I'm telling you he is very territorial, 145 00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:05,800 so I want him to believe that he's going to 146 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,519 get a better deal from you. So that's what I 147 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,360 want you to do, all right, So try that and 148 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,160 for sure let us know it works. And I want 149 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,759 to thank you for calling and tell your friends to 150 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,680 call everyone listening. You can give us a call at 151 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120 eight seven seven three eight five eight eight eight to 152 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,439 two here on pet Life Radio and we're here live 153 00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:25,720 with doctor Jeff here to answer your questions about anything 154 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,519 about your pets, about your dogs, about your cats. 155 00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:29,399 Speaker 3: You can also chat with us online. 156 00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: Just go to Petlife Radio dot com and you can 157 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:35,000 talk to us live as we're sitting here. So anyway, 158 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,040 I also wanted to you know, as you know, we 159 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,680 get some mail, and I want to thank our caller 160 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,480 again and good luck with Charlie, and please give us 161 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,240 a call back and let us know how this is 162 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,879 working out. So I have a question. This question is 163 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,600 about a fourteen year old female indoor cat that's been 164 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:51,279 only eating dry food and she wants to know what 165 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,040 kind of concerns that she should have with eating dry 166 00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:56,240 food only. And there were a couple. One of them 167 00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,680 is that we worry that cats that aren't getting enough 168 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,639 meat eat and I mean real meat, are basically subject 169 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,759 to what we call type two diabetes, that's the diabetes 170 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,000 that people get. And the reason for that is a 171 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,120 lot of the dry foods are overloaded with carbohydrates. They 172 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600 have too many carbs. So with too many carbs, that 173 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,959 basically stresses the pancreas and ultimately the pancreas stops secreting 174 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,519 so much of its own insulin. The insulin is what 175 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,279 helps get the sugar the energy basically from the food 176 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,439 that we eat and send it into the cells. So 177 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,879 dogs and cats and people with diabetes actually often have 178 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:38,039 the sugar there, but there's no insulin to drive that 179 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,879 sugar into the cells. So one of the concerns is 180 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,320 we're finding that often what we feed our cats might 181 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:46,879 play an issue. Another problem that we see with cats 182 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480 certainly kidney problems, and it gets worse as they get older. 183 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,720 And another thing is what we used to formally call 184 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,639 FUS feline eurologic syndrome, now we refer to as FLUTD, 185 00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:58,799 and that's lower urinary tact disease and that has a 186 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,039 lot to do with Oh. I've learned many factors, but 187 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,279 diet being one of them, and it's important to make 188 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,360 sure that the food that you're feeding your cats is 189 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,720 leaving the cat's urine. On the acid side, acid means 190 00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:15,240 anything less than seven point zero, preferably six point five 191 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:17,759 to six. Sometimes six five point five that might be 192 00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:20,000 a little too acidic can cause some other problems, but 193 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,759 you want to make sure at least six and a 194 00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:24,559 half to six urine pH and that will help prevent 195 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:27,720 some of the symptoms of crystal formation. As crystals stopped 196 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,159 forming or don't form, then we don't worry about stone formation. 197 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,600 And ultimately major problems with FLUTD and that is a 198 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:39,600 urinary bladder problem, lower urinary tract disease. Also, I got 199 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:42,360 a call from or actually an email from Barbara and Malibu, 200 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,440 and she writes that she has a thirteen year old 201 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,559 palm who drinks a lot of water and then he 202 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,440 coughs a lot, but it's not a gagging cough. 203 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 3: It's like a honking cough. 204 00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: And you know, that's something we see frequently in these 205 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,320 small breeds. And if nothing is wrong, and I of 206 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080 course encourage you to see veterinarian and make sure that 207 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,559 the basics are checked lungs of and either we could 208 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,960 see something that type of cough we call it tracha 209 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,320 itis with a trachial infection. For example, simple kennel cough 210 00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:11,639 can do that. Or also we see that with collapsing 211 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,799 trachea and collapsing trachia we see is something very common 212 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,120 in some of these small and tina breeds and where 213 00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:21,120 the cardilage rings that actually hold the trachea open aren't 214 00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:23,840 formed well and the trachea collapse with breathing, and when 215 00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:26,240 it does, we get this problem with the coughing. So 216 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,960 that's another issue. So again something you need to check out. 217 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:32,240 If it is collapsing trachia, there are or even a 218 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,240 trachea itis. There are some medications that may respond to. Occasionally, 219 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,679 and I mean rarely do we see a case of 220 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,080 collapsing trachea is so severe that we need to consider 221 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,399 even some kind of surgical intervention. The problem is it's 222 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,919 a very very challenging surgery oftentimes not as successful as 223 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,480 we would like it to be. So I always advise 224 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,960 caution and make sure you do your homework when it 225 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,200 comes to even thinking about it. Most of the times 226 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,320 I recommend trying to encourage owners to keep the pets 227 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,600 little calmer, using some cough suppressants, not letting them drink 228 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:08,480 water like voraciously, or this cough is exacerbated the trach 229 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,360 you'll collapse with excitement. So if you can figure out 230 00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,240 how to keep them calmer, we see that seems to 231 00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:16,039 help a lot. So I'm sitting here once again live 232 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:19,279 coming to you live at the Sacramento Airport in Sacramento, California, 233 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,600 waiting to catch my flight back to Los Angeles.

I want to thank our sponsors, pro Sens 307 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,679 Pet Products and I we're just going through some email 308 00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:42,000 and I have an email. This is coming from Sammy 309 00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:45,080 in West Hollywood, California, right in my backyard. Actually, he says, 310 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,200 I've never heard you talk about a rather cold, wet 311 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,519 nose and a dog means they are healthy. And I've 312 00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:53,639 heard some people say that the wet nose doesn't mean 313 00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:56,440 anything in particular, which is true? And is it the 314 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,480 same for cats? Well, you know this is something that 315 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:00,799 we've all heard before. If you want to tell you 316 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:02,960 whether or not your pattern is healthier, dog or cat, 317 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,120 feel their nose. If their nose is wet, that means 318 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,679 they're fine. If the nose is not wet. That means 319 00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:09,679 it doesn't find That is a little bit of an oversimplification. 320 00:16:09,879 --> 00:16:13,360 The reality is is that it is true that if 321 00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:16,759 a dog is doing great, he will have a nice, cold, 322 00:16:16,759 --> 00:16:20,080 wet nose. But it doesn't mean that if they don't 323 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,480 have that cold nose, they're not doing great. Likewise, dogs 324 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:25,559 that are really sick, they're often dehydrated, and with dehydration 325 00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,960 comes a dry a warm, dry nose. They are temperatures elevated. 326 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,240 So you know that it is true that dogs that 327 00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:33,440 are sick may not have that cold wet nose, will 328 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,720 more frequently have a dry nose. But you can't go backwards, 329 00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:39,399 so don't use that as your only criteria. If you 330 00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:41,480 have a dog with a warm, dry nose but is 331 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:45,080 otherwise eating well, is happy, is playful, all the other 332 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480 parameters are just fine. Chances are he's fine. You know 333 00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:49,639 what you ice can do. Also, anybody out there is 334 00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:51,759 you can go get yourself one of those thermometers rectal 335 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480 thermometers you know at the drug store, and just learn 336 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,200 to take. 337 00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 3: A pet's temperature. It's really not that hard. 338 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: Temperatures for normal for a dog is about one hundred 339 00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:02,200 point five to one hundred and two point five and 340 00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:04,440 a warm, hot day if they're outside, even one hundred 341 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,759 and three is okay. Again, always look at these symptoms 342 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:10,079 and signs along with the rest of the body. You know, 343 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:11,519 a dog with one hundred and three temp but is 344 00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:13,880 doing great, it's bobby fine. A dog with one hundred 345 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,079 and three temp. Who's MOPI who has stopped eating, he 346 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,759 doesn't have no energy. That could be a problem. So 347 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:20,799 you definitely want to take your dog or cat in 348 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,119 showing those signs and have them checked out by your veterinarian. 349 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,440 So so anyway, Sammy, thanks for the question coming from 350 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,880 West Hollywood, and now you know a little bit more information, 351 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,640 a little bit more specific about the whole cold nose 352 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,920 wet nose issue. Here's another coming in from April. This 353 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,160 is a good one because this is sort of one 354 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,799 of these opinion questions and likewise answers, and that is 355 00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:44,640 Hey guys, hi doctor Jeff. Some people really push raw 356 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,559 food diets for their pets. This includes raw meat, which 357 00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:50,200 I consider dangerous and not necessary to the health of 358 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,279 my dog. I was wondering how you feel about raw 359 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,839 food diets. Well, April, I have to kind of agree. 360 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000 I'm not a really big fan. I think that as 361 00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:02,160 we've gone through many generations in years of domesticating our dogs, 362 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,000 that we are not having the same issues when it 363 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,720 comes to raw food diets. So, you know, I don't 364 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,559 know if the intestinal tract is what it used to be. 365 00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:14,240 So my concern is that I've seen a lot of 366 00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:16,359 dogs get sick. I think the food goes bad. I 367 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,359 know that some of these raw food companies are erasing 368 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,720 their food. First, they're killing off all the bacteria. Some 369 00:18:20,759 --> 00:18:22,960 of them are subjecting them to what they call it's 370 00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:25,559 like rapid freezing. It's instant freezing, and that will kill 371 00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,599 off the bacteria. So as long as some technique is 372 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,720 being used to kill the bacteria, I think it's okay. Again, 373 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,519 let your animals. 374 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 3: Be the judge. Let your dogs be the judge. 375 00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: If they're eating it, if they like it, if they're 376 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,319 doing well, if they have a shiny coat, if they 377 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,839 have lots of energy, the normal stools, and they're eating 378 00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:43,839 the raw food, then let them go for it. But 379 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,039 I would not switch away from what you're feeding just 380 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,680 because you think that the raw food diets are superior. 381 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,039 As a matter of fact, I'm a proponent of not 382 00:18:53,079 --> 00:18:55,920 switching at all. If your dog is doing great on 383 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,680 what he's eating, you know, you can go to a 384 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,160 pet store and see dozens and dozens of food they 385 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,160 come and go. I would look for foods that have 386 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,279 an aft GO certification on the label. That's the Association 387 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,920 of American Food Control Officials. I would look for foods 388 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,440 that have been tested through feeding trials and if all 389 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,039 of those, if they're aft GOES certified, they've done feeding trials. 390 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,160 Your pets seems to like it. Your dog has a 391 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,519 great coat, lots of energy. Don't switch. There are a 392 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:21,440 lot of great commercial foods. Don't think that more expensive 393 00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:23,400 is better. It's like that and a lot of things, 394 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,279 but not necessarily in dog foods. There are a lot 395 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,440 of really good ones out there. In fact, you know 396 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,119 one of the companies out there that has a mass 397 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,519 market food. Two of them used to be in the 398 00:19:31,599 --> 00:19:34,559 pet specialty market, only available only in pet stores. Now 399 00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:37,400 they're available at the over the counter, at the mass 400 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,640 market supermarket level. 401 00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:40,279 Speaker 3: They're just fine. 402 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: So don't be fooled by the pizazz of the hype, 403 00:19:43,279 --> 00:19:45,599 and certainly don't let a and I said this before. 404 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,680 I made this point many times on the show. Don't 405 00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:51,240 let a seventeen year old eighteen year old employee at 406 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,759 the pet store become your pet expert if you if 407 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:56,519 you want your questions answered, check with your veterinarian. Okay, 408 00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,839 this one came in from Arlene, and Arlene says, my 409 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,599 other cat keeps moving her baby from one location to 410 00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:04,559 the next. I have them in a safe box away 411 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,400 from the other adult cats. But twice now mother has 412 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,200 moved her kittens inside a tall, thin box. 413 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 3: Each time. It scares me. She's worried that she won't 414 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,000 be able to find them. Well, this is mom being mom. 415 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 2: Moms like to protect their kittens, and if they sense 416 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,720 any danger, that's just what they're gonna do. They are 417 00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:21,720 going to pick up their kittens. They're gonna hide them, 418 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,000 They're gonna move them to what they call a safer place. 419 00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:28,200 The more traveled an area, the more likely mamma cat 420 00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:29,839 is gonna pick up and move the kittens. So this 421 00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:32,279 is normal and natural. But you might want to do 422 00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:34,480 if there are any places around the house that are 423 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,440 like really really difficult to get into, like you may 424 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,359 not be able to go find them, then I would 425 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,799 sort of partition those off. But likewise, if there's a closet, 426 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,720 you can just leave the door open. Craft the door 427 00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:47,000 open a little bit. That would be great. That way 428 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,680 that mamma cat can go into someplace that is nice 429 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,119 and secluded, it's quiet, she'll feel safe. But if need be, 430 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,559 you can get in there as well and check on 431 00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:58,000 the kittens. So for those of you that are just 432 00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:01,000 joining us, I'm doctor Jeff. I'm broad casting live from 433 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720 the Sacramento Airport. In fact, now you can hear a 434 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:07,880 gate announcement about our gate and we are. I was 435 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,880 here for Humane Lobby Day here in Sacramento. This is 436 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,160 where the lobbying groups, the humane groups of California, had 437 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,480 a chance to talk to state legislators, meet them one 438 00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,079 on one and really show our support for a number 439 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,319 of very important measures that are sitting in front of 440 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,400 California legislature. Now, two that I've talked about earlier, I'm 441 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,839 going to mention again real quickly because I encourage you, 442 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,519 if you're listening and you are from California, to call 443 00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:36,440 your state senator and leave message with your state senator's 444 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,400 office that you want him or her to support these bills. 445 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:42,799 One is the eight B seven eleven, and this requires 446 00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:48,039 the banning of lead ammunition. We do not like lead ammunition. 447 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,160 It is dangerous. It causes toxicity to people or other 448 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,119 animals that eat the animals that were killed with lead ammunition. 449 00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:58,519 It is becoming a major thread to two of our 450 00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:02,559 very important speed that are on the protected species list, 451 00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:06,440 that's the California condor and the golden eagle, both of 452 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,799 whom will feed off of meat that's been killed with 453 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,880 lead ammunition and then they get potentially deadly lead poisoning. 454 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:16,400 And interestingly, though of course I am not a hunter 455 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,279 and I do not encourage it, there are many hunters 456 00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:22,039 out there that actually feel that lead is not even 457 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,000 the best ammunition out there. So I encourage you, and 458 00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,839 they're even a lot of the hunters are supporting this 459 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,680 sentate build because they know that lead ammunition can even 460 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,759 be dangerous to people that might eat the meat of 461 00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:37,799 these animals. Another one is AB twelve thirteen. That's AB 462 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,039 one two one three, and this is really to support 463 00:22:41,079 --> 00:22:44,519 and protect some of California's natural heritage, and that is 464 00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:47,880 the kilt wrapping of bobcats. They are actually taking these 465 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,720 magnificent animals, these gorgeous cats, and they are hunting them 466 00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:54,200 for their pelts used in luxury clothing. 467 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,279 Speaker 3: To me, that is sickening. 468 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,759 Speaker 2: But anyway, trapping is more than doubled in twenty eleven 469 00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:02,400 and two. And where they're setting traps is around the 470 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,400 borders of lands that we have set aside for these animals. 471 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,160 So that's like cheating, that's luring the animals into these 472 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,880 places and then going ahead and trapping them. So this 473 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,319 bill is going to prevent the trapping of animals that 474 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,039 are near our near our parks and conservation areas, and 475 00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:21,640 it's going to outlaw the setting of traps. 476 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 3: Just here's an example. 477 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 2: In Joshua National Park Region, trapping has increased over eight 478 00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:28,960 hundred percent over the last two years. So that's built 479 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,079 ABE twelve thirteen. 480 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:30,799 Speaker 3: Get out there. 481 00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 2: If you're from California, If anyone listening has friends or 482 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,720 relatives living in California, please, for the sake of these animals, 483 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:42,519 encourage your friends, your cousins in California to call and 484 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,319 have their state senators support these bills. That is seven 485 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,039 eleven and twelve thirteen. So while those of you are 486 00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:52,519 still nervous and shy about giving us a call, live 487 00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:55,799 here to ask me questions. At eight seven, seven, three, 488 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,160 eight five, eight, eight eighty two. I'm going to uh oh. 489 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,039 By the way, I don't know if I also be 490 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,880 listened to. A couple of weeks ago I talked to 491 00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:06,519 about our little dog, that patient of mine whose owner 492 00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:08,519 ran over the dog. Well, I have to tell you 493 00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:11,079 the dog came in for a retech. It is doing 494 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,400 amazingly well. This is a dog that easily could have 495 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,079 been left for dead, and it was actually had a 496 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,039 torn body wall, had torn trachy Yet we talked about 497 00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:23,759 trachy idis earlier, talked about a tracheaiitis where there's a 498 00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:26,039 tear in the trach Yet this poor dog was literally 499 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:28,240 looked like a balloon because it was filling up with 500 00:24:28,319 --> 00:24:30,440 so much air because the air was leaking out of 501 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,440 the trachia and going into the sub q space and 502 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,680 this dog the trachea. With time, we put a body 503 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,160 wrap prevented that air leakage. And this little guy is 504 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,279 doing amazingly well. So I have to tell you it's important. 505 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,119 Another we got a fairly sick pett in the other day, 506 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,079 and these all bring to mind some warnings that I've 507 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,519 often made to you. The dog got in to the 508 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:55,799 owner's trail mix and they were interestingly concerned about the 509 00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:57,480 chocolate because you know a lot of Lyo Trump mixses 510 00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:59,720 have little chocolate tips. But when I asked, I said, 511 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,559 were there lot of raisins in the trumpkes? They go, 512 00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:03,279 oh my god, yes, it was full of raisins. Well, 513 00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:06,559 I have to tell you, the raisins are way more, potentially, 514 00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:09,240 way more dangerous than the chocolate. Most of the chocolate 515 00:25:09,319 --> 00:25:11,440 that's in these is a semi sweet chocolate, or it's 516 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,119 a milk chocolate small amount. It would take a lot 517 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,000 of chocolate and theobromine to cause this problem. But this 518 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,960 was the raisins and grapes are potentially extremely toxic to 519 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,480 dogs and cats. So this dog was pretty sick. But 520 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,039 again got to us early. We got this dog on fluid, 521 00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,640 flush everything out. Dog is fine. And this brings to 522 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,839 mind another potential toxin. And you know, I was I 523 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,039 was in my house and saw my cats playing with something. 524 00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:41,759 It was it a bowl and one of them was 525 00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:43,400 trying to get it out of the bowl. So I 526 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,319 looked at it, what are you playing with, you crazy cat? 527 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,039 And it was sugarless gum. Guys, I gotta let everybody know, 528 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,519 be very very careful sugarless gum. Xylotol is extremely toxic 529 00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:57,440 to pets. So if you have any gum left around 530 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,079 the house, anything sugarless, anything with xyl all x y 531 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,319 L I T O L, please remove it from their reach. 532 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,920 It is potentially very dangerous and it can be deadly. 533 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,799 So it looks like we are running out of time here. 534 00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:12,799 Speaker 3: It is. It was a great this half hour goes. 535 00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:15,039 Speaker 2: So you know, mind you as fast as this half 536 00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:17,680 hour goes, it will go even faster if you guys 537 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,400 call in so that if you want to let's get 538 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,359 the show to an hour. Maybe I need you to 539 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,599 call in eight seven seven three eight five eight at 540 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,079 A two.
