00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:23,719
Speaker 1: You were listening to Petlifradio dot com.

2
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,839
Speaker 2: Well, Hello, hello, good afternoons, everybody. You are live with me.

3
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,920
I'm doctor Jeff Werber here on pet Life Radio on

4
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,320
Ask the Beats with Doctor Jeff and I I'm back.

5
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:37,000
I don't know if you may have noticed that last

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,600
week's show, if you are avid listeners to our programming,

7
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,520
you may have noticed that we had to repeat. And

8
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,159
the reason is I was out of the country. I

9
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,880
had a phenomenal time. I was actually asked to lecture

10
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,399
in two conferences on the other side of the world.

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,600
One was in London at the London Vet Forum, and

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,920
then just kind of randomly, I was asked to speak

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,280
at the Southern European Veteran Conference in Barcelona, Spain the

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,480
following week. I mean, it was just too amazing how

15
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,239
it happened and how everything fell into place. So took

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,840
off for London, spent a few fun days in London,

17
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:14,560
then on to Italy, and then from Italy it was

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,359
Barcelona where I spoke with the Southern European Veterinary Conference

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,560
and it was just amazing. And then the weather was terrific.

20
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:22,680
We I had a little rain. As everyone anyone who's

21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,280
been to London. Knows, it's kind of gloomy, but it

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,760
was great. We had one day of kind of a

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,439
light rain and that was about it. So anyway, it

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,560
was so interesting being in Europe, and obviously whenever I

25
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:37,359
travel anywhere, I'd love to visit and I kind of

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,319
like enjoy seeing how people are with them, and I

27
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,879
noticed some very interesting things that when you know, like

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,159
if you're walking on the street here in the States

29
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,920
and you see somebody walking a dog and you want

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,599
to stop because you're a dog lover and you want

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,879
to kind of, you know, talk to the owner or

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,920
just say hi to the dog, people will stop and

33
00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,719
they love when someone comes over and pays attention to

34
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:03,280
their pa. And it was so amazing that there. It's

35
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:05,799
almost like when first time it happened, I thought, Oh,

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,640
that guy's in a rush, or he's not the kind

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,439
of guy, or he doesn't like people touching his dog.

38
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:11,680
I couldn't figure it out, but I thought it was him.

39
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:15,120
Then as I'm walking along and seeing more dogs and

40
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,840
stopping to say hello and talk to them, even dogs

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,080
that I have, like a Labrador or a Frenchy people

42
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:22,439
and it wasn't a language bearer. They just didn't seem

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,599
to have that same excitement, that same enjoyment to have

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,800
somebody appreciate their pet. And I just thought that was

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,879
so bizarre. And I have to say it was that

46
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,560
way at least more through Italy and Barcelona. And I

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,800
also noticed something very interesting, and it's just weird. Typically,

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,759
if you see people walking in their pets here in town,

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,439
I'm not talking about a dog park, I'm just talking

50
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,840
to walk on the street, I typically would probably see

51
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:49,680
more women than men there. It was the other way around.

52
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,159
There were many more men walking their pets. And I'm talking,

53
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:54,960
you know, some of these macho guys with these little

54
00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:57,719
docsin or little poodles or a little Yorkies or sheetsus.

55
00:02:57,759 --> 00:03:00,919
It was very funny, but only a few people actually

56
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,639
seemed to appreciate someone stopping and talking about their pets.

57
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,319
They just didn't have that same warmth. I'm curious to

58
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:10,159
know anyone who's traveled to this part of the world.

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,439
I want to hear from you. I just like to

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,479
know if you had the same experiences, or if you

61
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,360
know anybody who lives there and is just the way

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,599
the culture is. But it was pretty fascinating. It was

63
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:20,919
my first time over there, so I really have nothing

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,879
to compare it to other than maybe some of you

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,199
calling in speaking of which I'm easy to get a

66
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:29,000
hold of. And I'm here every Thursday one o'clock in

67
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:32,199
the west, four o'clock in the east, and anything in between.

68
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:33,960
I want you to call us. We're here live, and

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,199
I'm here to help you with your pets, answer questions,

70
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,080
give you advice, and it's free and you can't beat free.

71
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,759
And the number here to get me is eight seven

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,639
seven three eight five eight eight eight to two here

73
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:48,240
at pet Life Radio. And also an extra added bonus,

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,039
since we are one of our key sponsors, is pro

75
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,039
Sense Pet Products. This is a line that I helped

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,719
develop and it basically is to give to the consumer

77
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,680
the benefits of really good quality pet product, but available

78
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:05,960
to you at the mass market level, which makes it

79
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400
much less expensive. And I know it's very expensive to

80
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,879
keep your pets very healthy, and you know Verini medicine

81
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:14,080
is expensive. This is obviously not at all to replace

82
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,519
the relationship you have with your veterinarian. But if there's

83
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,120
some things that you can buy that might be a

84
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,680
little expensive, and maybe you'll be more apt to use

85
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,560
them because you don't have to spend so much money.

86
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,519
Then that's a great way to go. Then I feel

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,480
like I've accomplished something. So pro Sense pet products. So

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,759
as a caller, when you send us an email, which

89
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:33,839
I got a couple I'm gonna read, we will send

90
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:37,399
you out a gift of a pro Sense pet product.

91
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaking of emails we had too recently, I'm going to

92
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:44,839
pick them up from my trusted iPhone. This coming in

93
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:48,120
from Haley. Now, Haley, I'm going to have to get

94
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,639
back to her next week because it is about not

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,319
only is it about a snake. And I though I

96
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,600
love snakes and I adore them and I'm totally not

97
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,399
afraid of them, I know very little about as far

98
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,920
as their medical care. And this is a weird one

99
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,920
and it goes Hi needs help. I rescued him and

100
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:04,560
took him to the only reptile vet in my area.

101
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,720
And that's pretty normal that not a whole lot of

102
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,959
veterinarians do reptiles. He has a metabolic bone disease and

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,720
because of this, his spine basically looks like an accordion

104
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,040
and is how my spines are prolapsed. He's too skinny

105
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,839
to do surgery. And for some reason he's not gaining weight.

106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,759
He cannot deficate on his own. He needs daily warm soaks.

107
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:25,120
This can't be comfortable. My veterinarian recommended euth in Asia,

108
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,800
but I really want a second opinion. Thank you well, Haley,

109
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,879
I am not your second opinion. However, I am very

110
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:34,439
friendly with doctor Chris Wang up in Sacramento. I'm going

111
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,480
to give him a holler and let's see if we

112
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,600
can't get an answer for you, and if not, he

113
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,040
will know somebody who can. So stay tuned. We're going

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,480
to read this again next week and by then we

115
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,560
will have an answer for you. Then. From Facebook, the

116
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,199
Facebook page for pet Life Radio, John Blega, I hope

117
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:52,600
that I'm pronouncing it. John. I'm not butchering your name right,

118
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,600
Doctor Jeff Love the program. I'm in Holland, New York.

119
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Have an eight year old sheet soup and have been

120
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,199
feeding her eyms one to six years dry dog food.

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,680
What would you suggest for her at this age? She's

122
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,959
now eight. She is still very active, but looks like

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,079
she's losing weight. Thank you, John. Now, what's interesting that

124
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,319
many dogs as they get older, a number of things

125
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,319
are happening. First of all, they're seem to have suffer

126
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:19,279
some whatt of a muscle atrophy, which could be why

127
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,480
they occasionally lose weight. However, typically, as with people, what

128
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,439
happens as we get older, our metabolism slows down. We

129
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:31,160
start getting those aches and pain, so we're not out

130
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,720
there running like we used to. We end up gaining

131
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:37,360
weight in our older age. We end up putting on

132
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:40,399
the pounds, getting that midsection and guys, I know you

133
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,879
out there, you know, complaining about the same thing. So

134
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:46,439
if you ate at say fifty, the same way you

135
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,519
ate at twenty five, trust me, you're going to gain weight.

136
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,279
So we tend to have to slow down on the

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,519
eating and force ourselves to exercise more and keep our

138
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,240
muscles toned and adjust our caloric intake to meet the

139
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,519
changes in our metabolism. So by the fact that there's

140
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:06,160
some weight loss may not be an issue at all.

141
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:10,040
But I often worry when we're having weight loss that

142
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:13,360
maybe something else may be going on. Certainly, if this

143
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:18,240
were a cat, i'd be concerned about kidney dysfunction hyper thyroidism.

144
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:22,639
Dogs typically don't get hyperthyroidism, they actually get hypo thyroidism,

145
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,519
and in that case they would be gaining weight. So, John,

146
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,800
the first thing I want you to do at eight

147
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,480
years of age, if you haven't done it already, you

148
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,480
need to take your sheets in for a senior physical,

149
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,800
get some blood tests done, get your analysis, and let's

150
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,959
find out really make sure everything else is okay, because

151
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,120
though I think it's a good idea to switch to

152
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,199
a senior diet, I also want to make sure that

153
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:46,480
there's nothing that we're missing because of an eight year

154
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,759
old dog losing weight, unless suddenly she's become more active,

155
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,959
or you have been cutting back on her food having

156
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,439
been told that you should, which is it's not the

157
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:57,959
wrong advice, it's actually the right advice. However, maybe in

158
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,759
her case, if she's still very active she's losing weight,

159
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:03,879
you need to increase again her chloric intake or go

160
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,839
back to where you were before you changed. But if

161
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,879
there has been no change at all and she is

162
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,920
just losing weight, I want to checked out. There are

163
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:16,959
some organs that, as a malfunction, we tend to lose weight.

164
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,240
Number one is heart disease, kidney disease, and of course

165
00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:23,240
the dreaded it cancer. When it seems like much of

166
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,759
the nutrition that we are taking in is in a

167
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,439
sense being robbed and by the growth of the mass,

168
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,679
and it's taken away from our own metabolism, so there

169
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,559
is weight loss. So that again I worry about that

170
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,360
anytime with an old dog. But I just think it's

171
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,279
good medicine. You have an old dog, you have a senior.

172
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,799
Now's the time from the once here exams. You start

173
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,159
going twice a year and make sure you have blood

174
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:49,200
test in your analysis, maybe some X rays done somewhat

175
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,320
regular basis not necessarily have to be every year if

176
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:53,639
things are looking great and your pet is doing well.

177
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:56,960
But I always tell people that don't wait until there's

178
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,360
a problem. Most of the things we can deal with

179
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,039
if we get a head start because of good preventive

180
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,559
care and some proactive work on your parts, then it

181
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,200
serves us and your dogs and cat much better down

182
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,320
the road. So anyway, but I want to thank both

183
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,639
of you for writing in. John, I have your email.

184
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,080
I'm going to email you to give me your address.

185
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,639
We're going to send you out, probably a senior vitamin

186
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,960
for your dog. I think for a sheet too, that

187
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,519
would be extremely appropriate. And Hayley boy, I don't know

188
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:26,759
what I'm going to send you out. For a snake.

189
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:28,120
I hope you have a dog or a cat as

190
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:30,600
well in that humble household of yours, and we'll take

191
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,879
care of that. So anyway I want to hear from you,

192
00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:34,480

yet young at heart. Maybe they're growing out of the

puppy stage and into their paws and ears, or maybe

214
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:48,399

252
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,879
Speaker 2: Well, welcome back to ask the Baths of the Doctor. Jeff.

253
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:16,919
I have been gone for a week. I missed last

254
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,080
week's show. It was a repeat. I'd love anybody who

255
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,919
knew what was a repeat? You know what that tells me?

256
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,279
That tells me that you are here with us every

257
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,360
week listening and you're sending us up. Wait a second,

258
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,159
I remember that question or I remember him talking about this.

259
00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:32,480
So if you were thinking that you were right, because

260
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,919
it was a repeat, it wasn't easy. We try to

261
00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:37,120
work it out. Actually, at the time difference nine hours,

262
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,600
it wouldn't have put me in a very good movie.

263
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:40,519
You have to be up at that hour to meet

264
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,840
this one o'clock deadline for me at four o'clock for

265
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,919
those of you back east. So but it had a

266
00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:46,720
great trip, and I want to welcome you all back

267
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:49,759
here to our show here on pet Life Radio, the

268
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,039
Live Show, where you can call me right now at

269
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,799
eight seven seven three eight five eight eight eight two

270
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:57,879
and ask a question about your pet. Can also go

271
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:01,279
online at pet Life Radio and Live. You can type

272
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,399
in a question and I will read it and answer

273
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,840
you live as well. So that's a good deal. You know,

274
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:09,440
there's been a lot going on. I'm sure you've heard

275
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,519
about this chicken jerky and the problem with these treats.

276
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,759
It's been, you know, all over the news of late

277
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:21,039
nearly six hundred pets deaths associated with the Chinese chicken treats.

278
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:23,720
These are chicken treats coming out of China, and you know,

279
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:26,639
really if the FDA doesn't know exactly what the problem is,

280
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:30,440
but they feel approximately three thousand reports of pet illness

281
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:33,799
related to the consumption of these jerky treats, and as

282
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,399
I said, almost six hundred deaths. They all are treats

283
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,320
reported that are imported from China. And I mean this

284
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,440
started back in two thousand and seven, but we're seeing

285
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,159
more and more and nobody really knows exactly what's going on.

286
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,159
It's about probably most of the problems associated with gastrointestinal illness,

287
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,080
many with elevated liver enzymes, about thirty percent are kidney

288
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,519
and urinary signs as well. So about the remaining ten percent, oh,

289
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:02,399
it could be tremor's convulsion, hive, skin irritation, I mean

290
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,440
almost anything.

291
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:03,679
Speaker 9: Is that.

292
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: There's a particular kidney condition that we see called fancone syndrome,

293
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,759
and that too is a kidney failure, so we see

294
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,120
that as well. And a lot of the nutrients that

295
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,960
are usually lost in the urine are instead being reasorbed,

296
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:19,000
causing the problem. So I want to continue to talk

297
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,639
about this more, but we have a caller coming in.

298
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,759
So a caller go ahead. You're alive here with doctor Jeff.

299
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:24,720
You're on pet Life Radio.

300
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,879
Speaker 5: Hi. My name is Tracy and I'm calling from California.

301
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,639
Speaker 2: Hi, Tracy, and Hi.

302
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 5: I have four dogs, but one of them is an

303
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,720
elderly twelve year old Beagle Rottweiler mix. And I know

304
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:38,639
everyone always asked me who was who.

305
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:40,759
Speaker 2: Somebody was very acrobatic, I'll tell you that.

306
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, But what I was wondering, he's starting to lose

307
00:15:44,559 --> 00:15:47,159
his hearing, and it seems like in the morning I

308
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,440
keep on steaking up on him and it scares him.

309
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,159
And I was wondering if you have any tips on

310
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,399
how to how to work with a dog that's going

311
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440
deaf to keep him from getting scared and freaking out. Well,

312
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,919
right kind of happened upon him.

313
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: You know, first of all, it's not uncommon. We see

314
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,440
this a lot as dogs get older, especially you know,

315
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:04,559
twelve for bigle is not super old, but twelve for

316
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,200
a Rottweiler is very old, So so you know, it

317
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,399
could be the definises it's a neurologic deficit. Of course,

318
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,120
you want to check the ears out to make sure

319
00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:14,879
there's nothing simple that's being missed like some you know,

320
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,799
waxy plugs or things like that. But typically older dogs

321
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:20,840
that come in we have of course check that out

322
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:23,759
and it turns out to be simply nothing more than

323
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,080
old age deafness. And now's the time to start using

324
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,639
a lot of hand signals as you're talking, as you're relating,

325
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:32,440
you know, to the dogs. In a male or a female,

326
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:34,840
it's a male a male, so you know, as you're

327
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,080
relating to him, as you're talking to him, start giving

328
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:39,639
him a lot of hand signals. That helps along. And

329
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,080
then when as far as not freaking up on him

330
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,799
is start every time you approach and you season that deep,

331
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,960
deep sleep, you want to just come and start gently

332
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,919
at first, you don't want to come up onto them

333
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,960
and just you know, kind of grab them, but gently

334
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,360
just start caressing the top of his head or the

335
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,679
side of his faces are under the ears, just so

336
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,840
he knows you're coming. And it also helps sort of

337
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,880
make that eye contact with you looking for what the

338
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,920
next command is, whether it's you know, you know. It's

339
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,880
interesting when we teach dogs in general, we always recommend

340
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,599
the six day heel. You know, you sit, you hold

341
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,480
your hand up and face it to you your stage.

342
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,680
You put your palm at you know, sort of directly

343
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,920
at him. And so now even more so, you don't

344
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,880
even need the voice command because they're so used to

345
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,880
the hand commands that we've tried. Even when they were hearing,

346
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:27,599
was fine to teach them. So I think, you know,

347
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,480
that's always it's a good idea to get even those

348
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,000
of you listening. When you have young, healthy dogs, it

349
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:34,160
would really be a good idea to do a lot

350
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,079
of your basic commands, to associate them with some sort

351
00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:40,519
of hand command as well, and then you know, but

352
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,880
it is amazing is that they will. First of all,

353
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,799
dogs are amazing at feeling vibration. So typically if you

354
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:49,640
wanted to walk as you're approaching a bit more loudly,

355
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,200
not so much for the sound that you make, but

356
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,880
for the vibration that they will pick up from the floor. Again,

357
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:58,440
so he kind of knows you're coming, it's not coming

358
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,680
at him and trying to freak him out. Another thing

359
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,799
you might want to try is maybe a dog whistle.

360
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,880
There are frequencies that we can't hear, but dogs can,

361
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,880
and even at the higher frequens. I have a lot

362
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,480
of people that will come to me with a dog

363
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:15,480
that likewise dog doesn't hear me, doesn't hear me coming,

364
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:17,400
doesn't you know, hear the garage door or the key

365
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,160
in the door. Things that they would oh my god,

366
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,759
meet greet them at the front door aren't working anymore.

367
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,559
They can either could be noise in the house and

368
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,480
the dog is you know, dead asleep right, doesn't respond,

369
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:29,559
And they'll come into my room and I'll purposely have

370
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,960
the pet owner have the dog looking at them and

371
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:34,640
distract the dog so it's not paying attention to me.

372
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,799
And I'm a really good whistler, and I will give

373
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:39,880
this loud shriek whistle that I mean they hear down

374
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,960
the block and the dog totally hirks up and turns around.

375
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,640
So I noticed that a lot of times it's either

376
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,799
just there are certain frequencies that are not picking up anymore.

377
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:53,240
Older dogs are sometimes like teenage kids, and we call

378
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:56,119
that selective hearing. So when you're yelling at your kid

379
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,319
to do their homework, they're tuning you out because you're

380
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,279
not important. But you know, say you want to go

381
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:03,640
get have dessert, or you want to go go see

382
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,319
the movie or go to the ball game. All they

383
00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:07,960
hear that all of a sudden. So sometimes you know

384
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,480
when try preparing the food and seeing if that does it.

385
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,240
It may or may not, but anyway, it is most

386
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,200
likely a normal age change. Nothing to panic about. They

387
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:20,680
do adapt and just as you approach knowing that he's

388
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,880
having this problem, just do so a bit more gently.

389
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:26,480
But that's great, and I want to thank you. Wanted

390
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:29,720
to send me an email to doctor Jeff Dr Jeff

391
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,839
at Drjeff dot com at doctor Jeff dot com with

392
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,759
your info will send you out since you have an

393
00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:38,680
old Beagle mix either our Senior Vitamin or our Senior

394
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,839
Glucosamine as a gift from pro Sens Pet Products.

395
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,279
Speaker 5: All right, thank you so much.

396
00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: All right, Tracy, thank you for calling. Thanks a lot.

397
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,599
Good luck by bite. So anyway, for those of you

398
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,359
say how easy that was, it's very easy to pick

399
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,319
up the phone. I don't bite. Some of my patients do,

400
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:55,119
but not me. Anyway, Let's go back to these, you know,

401
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,039
very serious problems with these jerky treats that we are

402
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,440
hearing a lot about causing liverpool problems, causing kidney problems,

403
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,920
potentially causing convulsions and tremors. And the problem is we

404
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,359
don't know exactly what the active ingredient causing this problem

405
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,480
is so a lot of the big brands. We had

406
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,240
a decrease in January two thirteen where a lot of

407
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:18,160
these brands were removed off the shelves, but again there

408
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,799
seems to be a rise again. So until we know

409
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,920
more about it, there are I know there was a

410
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,839
study being done at the University of Queensland and it

411
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,880
was sort of examining the renal tubules of a number

412
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,359
of these dogs, over one hundred dogs that were diagnosed

413
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,839
with a problem that may be related to these chicken

414
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,759
breast strips and the chicken jerky, and they were all

415
00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:42,559
made in China, and they were taken off the market,

416
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:45,880
of course, But until we know more, my recommendation would

417
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,839
be that if you're going to buy any of these,

418
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,039
I would say, in general, whether they're the raw hide strips,

419
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,960
whether they're the jerky strips, anything that's coming out of China.

420
00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:58,720
Until we know more, I think the smart thing to

421
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,079
do would be not to buy it. If you want

422
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:03,279
to buy something, look for things that were made right

423
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:07,759
here in the good old USA. The controls are much stricter,

424
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,559
and until we know more about it, we have to

425
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:14,279
be really, really careful if you suspect that your pet

426
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,240
has been having a problem with these treats, please you

427
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,880
can get a hold of us here at the show.

428
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:22,240
You can just write to doctor Jeff at Petlife Radio

429
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:24,640
dot com and let us know what's going on, and

430
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,920
I can sort of direct you into the right place

431
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,000
or at least talk to your veterinarian. But we have

432
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:31,880
to be really really careful. You can go on. FDA

433
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:35,319
has a link about the pet chicken jerky treat You

434
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:38,440
can go on do a Google search FDA and chicken

435
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:40,920
jerky treats from China and you can get a lot

436
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,480
of information from that as well. So I certainly hope

437
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,319
that none of you listening have had pets with this problem.

438
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,599
I hope that you don't even know anybody who has.

439
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,599
But with a number of cases that have been recorded

440
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,640
over three thousand and a large number of deaths, that

441
00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:57,480
is really really a big concern to all of us

442
00:21:57,559 --> 00:21:59,839
who take care of pets. We're getting late in the show.

443
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,799
Another caller on, So caller, go ahead, You're on live

444
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,000
with doctor Jeff. What's up?

445
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,799
Speaker 8: Hey, This is Megan Blake from Pet Life Radio. Is

446
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:09,119
a Super Smiley adventure. How are you doing today.

447
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,599
Speaker 2: I'm doing fine. How are you?

448
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 8: I'm great and we love your show. Smiley and Angel

449
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:16,039
over here giving you eight pauds up today.

450
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: Well good, I'm glad to hear it. I'm glad to

451
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:20,279
hear it. So have you heard or known anybody you're

452
00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:22,880
having these problems with the chicken treats? Absolutely?

453
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:25,279
Speaker 8: This has been all over the national news and it

454
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,319
is a great concern and every pet owner needs to

455
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:28,559
know this.

456
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say anything is. I just made the

457
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,559
comment that I think anything that is not made here

458
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,559
until we know a lot more just should be avoided. Yes,

459
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:39,519
these things are much less expensive, and you can buy

460
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:42,599
those huge bags for probably half the price. It's just

461
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,480
not worth the risk. It's not worth the risk. And

462
00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:47,640
the fda is even haven't been able to identify exactly

463
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,559
the problem, which makes it even more frightening.

464
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 8: I know that's what's so scary about it. You're right.

465
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,400
I guess all we can do is look for maid

466
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,039
in the USA because sometimes things that are made here, though,

467
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,799
can still be deceiving that the products are imported from China.

468
00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:00,759
Is that correct?

469
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,519
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Yeah? So I And again, these are most of

470
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,720
all the problems that they've had are products from China,

471
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,440
and they don't know exactly what it is, but there's

472
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,480
liver problems, kidney problems, potential tremors, convulsions. It's as I said,

473
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,799
it's frightening, and it's not worth it, just not worth it.

474
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 8: Right, And actually I have a question for you. It's

475
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:22,160
not about saying goodness, it's not about these trees. But

476
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,559
I have a German shepherd whose angel's Smiley's friend Angel,

477
00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:29,599
and she actually the last two days has been throwing

478
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,359
up after breakfast. And she's on a maid in USA

479
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,880
dog food that's one of the more expensive, you know,

480
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,160
high level brands.

481
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:36,519
Speaker 2: Right.

482
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 8: He doesn't seem at all. She plays, she gets her toy,

483
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,200
she runs all around, but she's totally herself. So I've

484
00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:44,279
kind of ruled out blows just from that because that's

485
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:47,680
extremely Absolutely she has the idea why all of a sudden,

486
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,640
for the last two days she could be throwing up

487
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,440
after her food?

488
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,079
Speaker 2: How old is she? She's five, okay? And is she

489
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,640
the type of dog that might eat something that she's

490
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,599
not supposed to like? No, actually, allow the toy, nothing

491
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:00,960
like that.

492
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 8: And she's actually not treat driven at all. We can't

493
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,720
even use treats to train her. She's basically just very

494
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,359
attached to her people. So she's not food driven or

495
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,960
treat driven. As a matter of fact, a normal procedure

496
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,759
for her, as we feed our dogs twice a day.

497
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,160
It's sometimes she'll just get breakfast and she's done that

498
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,000
for years. She's just not food driven at all. So okay,

499
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,319
this time she's fascinating. But then she throws up.

500
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,599
Speaker 2: What do you think she is still eating? If you

501
00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:25,720
offered her the food, she'll still want to eat, Yes.

502
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:27,279
Speaker 8: And she did eat. Get her into it up. It's

503
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:29,680
just been yesterday morning and this morning.

504
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we do. First of all, it

505
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,319
doesn't sound like this is panic situation at all. A

506
00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:38,319
lot of times dogs will have some gastrocreflux in the morning,

507
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:40,359
and it could be the fact that she held her

508
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,599
dinner down, but she doesn't hold her morning her breakfast down.

509
00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:43,079
Speaker 1: Yep.

510
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 8: Maybe, yes, that's right.

511
00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:46,839
Speaker 2: So what I would do is I would give her.

512
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,079
She's a shepherd, she's what about sixty seventy pounds, eighty.

513
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 8: Pounds, she's more like she's a big girl.

514
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:55,279
Speaker 2: She's like ninety Oh wow, Okay, I would give her

515
00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:59,000
and a half a big per kig. So she's she's

516
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:05,200
say forty, you can give twenty milligrams of pepsid ac oh, okay,

517
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,960
give it to her about a half hour before breakfast,

518
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,240
and then to start I would only give her like

519
00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:13,119
a half of her normal sized meal.

520
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:14,759
Speaker 8: That makes perfect sense.

521
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: Yes, she does, let her eat and let her rest afterwards.

522
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,960
If she keeps it down, she seems fine, she's acting fine.

523
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,839
Maybe about an hour and a half two hours later,

524
00:25:24,039 --> 00:25:25,839
give her the other half and see how she does.

525
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:26,519
Speaker 1: Sounds good.

526
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:28,839
Speaker 8: That sounds like a great idea, just like you said.

527
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,920
It absolutely does not sound like a panic situation. If

528
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,519
it did, she would have been in the bed right.

529
00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. If she's acting now, if she continues to do

530
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:40,519
this despite the pepsid, the smaller meals, or if her

531
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:43,599
behavior her attitude changes and she starts seeming more depressed,

532
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,960
then I would definitely take her in.

533
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,279
Speaker 8: To have her checked out, absolutely, because then they're telling

534
00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:48,279
you I don't feel well.

535
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: Somebody healthy right exactly, and she could have something going

536
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,920
on in her stomach. You know, we need to check that out.

537
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:55,480
How long after she east does she actually vomit? Is

538
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:58,079
it minutes or it would like a half hour how long.

539
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,279
Speaker 8: After It was pretty soon, let me thank yes, it's

540
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:03,440
hard to remember. No, half an hour was not immediate.

541
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:05,839
Speaker 2: It was like half hour, all right, and she went

542
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,640
through heaving and it wasn't like open her mouth and

543
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,559
it came outsaving. Okay, yeah, that's vomiting. Okay, it's a

544
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,839
post regurgitation. All right, that's the plan then little pepsid.

545
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:17,480
Thanks good, Have it go easy, eat half a meal first,

546
00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:19,400
make sure she said it, keeps it down, and then

547
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,079
we'll go from there.

548
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,200
