And almost every single time 6 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:28.280 I say, sure, yes I can, and I try to 7 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:34.320 plan what I call a nightside like show.

If you have 15 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.000 an opinion about that, and I hope you do, you'll 16 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.079 share it between ten and midnight with my guest Steven J. 17 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:21.760 Rubin and I. I have a name. I'm not gonna 18 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.280 say it because I don't want my opinion to sway 19 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:32.359 your opinion. That aside, the hour before nine to ten o'clock, 20 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:39.760 I've got a young woman, her name Trelaine Clark, and 21 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.560 she's gonna be talking about a couple of conferences coming up, 22 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.519 which if you have kids you might show interest in. 23 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.239 One's gonna be in Washington, DC. One's gonna be in 24 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:56.560 Ghana over in Africa. And we'll talk about that when 25 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.719 she comes on. But right now, maybe you heard a 26 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.079 story I heard right here on BZY News a week ago. 27 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:13.680 People walking and jogging around Chestnut Hill Reservoir over by 28 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:21.520 BC have had problems with bats, bats swooping in on them. 29 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:28.599 And you know bats can, I say, can carry rabies. 30 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.400 And my first guest is a woman who has an 31 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:39.680 organization called Hair of the Dog and hair it's spelled 32 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.000 jr e. Hair of the Dog Incorporated. And they deal 33 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.719 with all sorts of wildlife and they focus down in 34 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:56.879 the Pembroke area, which incorporates Cape Card Southeast mass and 35 00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:01.879 they do the best they can to eliminate or at 36 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:08.840 least try to combat rabies among wildlife. Her name is 37 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.719 Marielle McCann Randolphe Mariel. Welcome to Night's Side. 38 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.919 Thank you so much for having me. How are you 39 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.159 all right and how are you not too bad? 40 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.520 I'm going to ask you a question and understand where 41 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:33.120 I'm going with this. Do you remember the Beverly Hillbillies, Yes, 42 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:38.560 I do, Marielle, trust me, trust me. You remember the 43 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:46.319 character of Ellie May. Yes, she Well, she had a way. 44 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.599 I mean they lived quote unquote in the hills, and 45 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:56.120 she had a way with forest creatures. All of them 46 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:01.759 would gather around her and show love and respect for her. 47 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.439 And when I think of you, I think of you 48 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.680 in that way. No, you're not only made clamping, I 49 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.680 know that, but you're out there doing the best you 50 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:22.480 can with the animals, with rabbits and raccoons and skunks 51 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.560 and other animals which can I say again, can carry rabies, 52 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.240 and you're doing the best. You're doing the best you 53 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.399 can to combat that. 54 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.480 Yeah, our specialty here at Hair of the Dog is raccoons, 55 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.360 So certainly we come across our fair share of rabbit 56 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:50.199 animals and then and fears of rabies and some ignorances 57 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:50.639 as well. 58 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.920 Tell my audience what is raybies? Specifically, we hear the 59 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.240 word used, but a lot of people don't know what 60 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.959 it is. Tell the audience, so, it. 61 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.879 Is a very serious virus that affects the brain and 62 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:14.160 spinal cord of mammals, and it almost always causes death, 63 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.519 so you know it's it's nearly one hundred percent fat all. 64 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.319 It's something that's generally transmitted by the bites of animals 65 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.360 because it's carried in the saliva. And I do want 66 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.480 to say that less than half of one percent of 67 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.240 bats have rabies, so they are on the top of 68 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.199 the list, but that does not mean that all bats 69 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.879 have rabies. So just as an aside. 70 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.360 Numbers, those numbers are scary when you go out for 71 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.279 a walk. We're hitting thirty eight states with our signal 72 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.079 right now. It's not just the greater Boston area, So 73 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.240 there are people, I'm sure in rural parts of states. 74 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.639 I know we've got New York. I know, oh, we've 75 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.800 got Wisconsin. I know we've got Minnesota, and I could 76 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.519 name so many more states from which we busy get 77 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.839 our phone calls. What can people do because no matter 78 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:18.439 where you live, it's conceivable texts are ticks are in 79 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.000 any wooded area where you live. What I know, tuck 80 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.759 your pant leg into your socks. But other than that, 81 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.519 what else can people do to kept back on potentially 82 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.560 being bitten by a tick? 83 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.519 Well, for tics, ticks don't carry raby, so thankfully we're not. 84 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.759 We don't necessarily worry as much about that, but we can. 85 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.800 You know what you're doing for ticks specifically, that's something 86 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:52.560 you know, protecting your pets and making sure that your 87 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.120 you know, yard is cleared up of debris and things 88 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.480 like that. I kind of can see both sides of it. 89 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.800 I want happy, healthy eCos system of different types of bugs. 90 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.160 So I personally wouldn't go and try to eradicate every 91 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.920 tick that I had, but I do a good check afterwards. 92 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.160 I make sure that I protect my pets with any preventatives, 93 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.680 which is the same thing with rabies. I'm going to go. 94 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.800 I'm going to make sure all my pets are rabies 95 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.560 vaccinated and keep up to date with that. I personally 96 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:25.279 have a Raby's vaccination for myself because I'm at higher 97 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.920 risk because I do have a lot of around and 98 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.120 you're out there as well. 99 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.319 Tell you what, let me take a break when we 100 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:38.519 come back. You touched upon our house, pets, our puppies 101 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.040 and kiddies. Let's talk about trying to make sure they 102 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.279 are safe. And anyone who wants to call in six one, seven, two, five, 103 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.240 fourteen thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two nine, ten 104 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:56.560 thirty time and temperature here on night Side eight sixteen 105 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.160 seventy four degrees. 106 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:05.439 Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio. 107 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.879 Welcome back to Dan Ray's night Side. Dan is off tonight. 108 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.240 He will be back on Monday. I verified that with Rob, 109 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.800 who is here tonight where he usually is on the 110 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.839 master control board. If you want to call in, Rob 111 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.759 will answer your call and put you in queue as 112 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.399 it were, and then you'll get to speak with me 113 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.800 and my guest Mariel six one, seven, two, five, four 114 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.439 ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to nine ten thirty. 115 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.879 Let's talk about how to make sure our dogs and 116 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:41.679 cats don't catch rabi's from either maybe a skirmish with 117 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:47.080 a raccoon or running into the deep bush and finding 118 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.600 out there are ticks in there. So Mariol tell my 119 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.919 audience how to watch out for the kiddies and doggies. 120 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.399 Yeah, so i'd make sure that your pets in Massachusetts. 121 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.879 I know that your multi state, but in Massachusetts it's 122 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.559 the law to get your dogs and cats up to 123 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.600 date on their rabies vaccines and we very rarely ever 124 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:14.480 see any bad reactions to those. The risk of getting 125 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:19.639 rabies is much worse in once your you know your 126 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.159 pets fully vaccinated and you have them outside and you 127 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.279 guys are out playing, keeping them on leash is huge 128 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:30.440 because an animal will not you know, a healthy raccoon's 129 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.120 not going to come anywhere near your dog or cat 130 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:38.200 unless they're in their area. So keeping them away from 131 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:43.879 places where raccoons would be. Keeping your trashes nice and 132 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.039 covered and secured. Making sure that you're not feeding the 133 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.720 wild lice is a big one too, because you're inviting 134 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:56.679 it into your yard. And but that raby vaccine, you know, 135 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.519 rabies is one hundred percent preventable, and vaccinating pet is 136 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.360 the way. 137 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.679 To do that, all right in the area where hair 138 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.080 the dog does the best they can to offset rabies 139 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:17.919 and animals that have contracted rabies would be in the 140 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:25.200 Cape Cord Southeast Massachusetts area. And tell me about the 141 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.159 rabies task forces that you have. 142 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.960 Yeah, so we were invited by the Cape cod and 143 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:39.159 Southeast mass Raby's task Force to help them spread rabies 144 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:44.039 vaccines into the environment. And these are vaccines that are 145 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:50.879 oral baits that are scented, They stink, they zink like fish, 146 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.960 and that will attract raccoons to it. So when they 147 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.000 bite it, they get that oral vaccine. We were really 148 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.000 crowd to help them with that this year because they 149 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.240 had to spread quite a bit to keep mainly Cape cod. 150 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.519 They're doing a wonderful job keeping rabies off of Cape 151 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.080 God did a lot of biologists and scientists working on 152 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.000 tracking rabies and raccoons and and really do an exemplary job. 153 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.720 So I had a day off, so we volunteered. My 154 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.320 father and I volunteered and spread those rabies vaccines around. 155 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:40.320 All right, and you're talking, we were talking about your pets. No, 156 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:45.480 there are people. I don't know why, because my cat 157 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.519 has never seen the light of day outside of his 158 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.200 pet carrier. But there are people who let their cats 159 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:59.480 go outside come back into the pet door, and that's 160 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:03.960 where a kitty could get in trouble. Dogs, I guess, 161 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:09.919 are different. If they do have access to outdoors. Dogs 162 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.960 can Dogs can put up a brave front. Their growl 163 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.240 is enough to make raccoons at least back down. But 164 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.440 a kitty, no matter how brave they might take a stand, 165 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.799 a raccoon's not going to pay any attention to that. 166 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.080 Yeah, but they're not going to A healthy raccoon isn't 167 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.399 really gonna be too interested in a cat either. I 168 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.519 you know I'm with you. I keep the cats indoors 169 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.279 all the time for their safety. And you know, I'm 170 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.519 a wildlife rehabber first, so I certainly see lots of 171 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.480 trouble when cats are out there with my native population 172 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.720 of wildlike. So it's important to me for my cats 173 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.240 and the wildlife to keep them indoors. But I know 174 00:12:55.399 --> 00:13:00.360 this is a very contentious topic, so I understand you. 175 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.320 As long as people are educated and make their own choices, 176 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.200 we're okay with that. Another thing that we do to 177 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:12.159 keep your pets safe is all of the raccoons that 178 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:17.279 come through our wildlife rehiblic rehab will will be fully 179 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:22.519 vaccinated before release, right, and so they won't be able 180 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.600 to contract it and spread it to other raccoons once 181 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.200 they're back to their natural habits. 182 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:33.840 Now, I used to live in Boston. I used to 183 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:40.639 live in bright Nolston on Strathmore Road, and I know 184 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.240 Strathmore runs all the way through bright Nolston into Brookline, 185 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:51.759 but I lived at the end close to the the 186 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.000 body of water outside of BC chest Up Hill Reservoir. 187 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.799 And why are bats flying around around that area? 188 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:14.720 Good food I guess, okay, are there going to be 189 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.799 around They're going to be around water areas because there's 190 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.919 going to be better like good bug populations there. There's 191 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:28.600 buildings and I don't want to say cliffs or anything, 192 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.480 but big rocks, things things like that, places where they 193 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:37.519 can have some habitat and some natural areas. But they 194 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.919 bats will find any way into chimneys and brickwork and 195 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.960 things like that. If you think that you have bats 196 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.879 in your house right now, now is the time to 197 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.600 get them out. Because if there's a colony in your house, 198 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:55.399 then you have May to get them out or August 199 00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:00.240 through October. And the reason for that is babies. The 200 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:01.960 baby bats are on their way. 201 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.960 So okay, now I again, I lived in that area 202 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:10.320 for years. I own two German shepherds, and every now 203 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.919 and then I take them through the teeny i'm gonna say, 204 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.600 small wooded area you walk through to get to the water. 205 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:28.120 And I never saw a bat. I saw every other 206 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.879 type of wildlife. I saw skunks, I saw raccoons. I 207 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.440 even saw an apossum on a couple of occasions. And 208 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.679 why is it that so close to the city there's 209 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:50.399 such a wild animal incursion into the environments of Boston. 210 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.639 Well, they're running out of natural places to be, and 211 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.639 they're like humans. A lot of them are wonderful at 212 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.679 adapting to whatever areas are around. And a lot of 213 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.360 the animals that you mentioned are ones that will use 214 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.120 humans in a way of we leave a lot of 215 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.000 trash around, we leave food out, there's extra stuff. So 216 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.600 it certainly is we will keep them well fed and 217 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.559 then they'll go into their small spots of nature when 218 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.240 when the people are around. So but I, you know, 219 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.279 I think of it as a great sign when we 220 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.279 see some you know, raccoons running through the city, and 221 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.519 especially a couple of possums. They're up there on my 222 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.080 list two of favorites. I always say they're you know, 223 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.440 that's my favorite, but I say that about every animal, 224 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:48.840 but possums and raccoons really really my favorites. O, my guest, 225 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:55.000 if you've just turned on the radio, Mario mccairn, lean Delphi, 226 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.679 did I pronounce that properly?

It's nice to be talking 263 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.079 to Logan and Mariel, and I really am. You're on 264 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.599 a great subject for me right now. I really appreciate 265 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:37.319 this really well little background. Back in February, I took 266 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.200 in a stray dog and I immediately went to the vet, 267 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:43.839 and of course they wanted to load me up at shots. 268 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.640 They you know, it's definitely in puppy mode. But they 269 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:50.160 assured me they had my pup had one year teeth, 270 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:56.279 so we were assuming. I assumed nothing, and they said, 271 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.480 well we're going to give the shots just as it 272 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.240 was a puppy, and when it came rabies, I kind 273 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.880 of questioned it, and I thought, well, it's a little 274 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.200 puppy's mostly going to be inside with me and on 275 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.720 a leaf, and I do live in a wooded area, 276 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:11.759 And I thought, what happens if he's already had his 277 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.200 shots and he does it again. And they assured me 278 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.720 that that wouldn't be a problem where they do it 279 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.400 yearly anyways. And I was just wondering, what if I 280 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.880 had a concern with something like that or better on 281 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:25.880 the air, on the side of safety. 282 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.680 Mario, No, definitely the side of safety. Yeah, we often, 283 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:36.240 like even up to date animals, if they are exposed 284 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:39.400 to any wildlife that we don't know if the wildlife 285 00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:41.440 is positive for rabies or not, we go ahead and 286 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.759 give another rabies vaccine. The rabies vaccine is probably the 287 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:51.759 least common one to get negative reactions to. Some of 288 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.640 the other ones we see a little bit more sensitivity too, 289 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.960 but that rabies, we very rarely see a negative reaction. 290 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:03.000 So you know, I would be happy to revaccinate my 291 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:03.920 pets at any time. 292 00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.960 Oh, that's great, Okay, correct, that's great. I really appreciate that. 293 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:09.680 Thank you again. 294 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.160 I appreciate the backup you for making the call. 295 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.319 Okay, thanks good night, And Maria. 296 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:21.359 Marine just said A Corinne just said something, what is 297 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:24.319 your background? How did you get into this very very 298 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:26.279 difficult business. 299 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.880 So I started in human medicine and then switched over 300 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:37.920 to veterinary medicine and became a vettech. And I really, 301 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.000 you know, I can't as you as you've already mentioned, 302 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.319 I can't stay away from the animals. You know, as 303 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.880 a child, I have cousins who made fun of me 304 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.519 for talking to the chipmunks and things like that. So 305 00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.039 it's definitely you know, you find your calling. 306 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.720 So I. 307 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:01.599 I really love veterinary medicine. Right now, I am a 308 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:06.359 hospital manager at a local veterinary clinic, Parkway Vet Hospital, 309 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.880 which is wonderful with wonderful veterinarians. And then alongside run 310 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.960 Hair of the Dog Wildlife Rehab. So even in my 311 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:16.799 off time, and then when I have a day off 312 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.759 of both of those, then I help that Cape cod 313 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:21.920 and Self East math Braby task Force. 314 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.200 How long did it take you in study to become 315 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.319 a veterinarian? 316 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.480 So as for veterinary technicians is more like a nurse 317 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:36.920 than it is the doctor. So I've worked under doctors 318 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.119 for many years. I've been working in veterinary medicine for 319 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:48.839 fifteen years now, working from assistant to then technician then 320 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.680 you know, lead surgical tax and now management as well. 321 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.680 And I absolutely love it when one of the technicians 322 00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:59.799 of the doctors needs help holding you know, an aggressive 323 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.839 care at or you know, anytime I can get my 324 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.000 hands in there in any surgeries or anything like that, 325 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:07.200 I hop on it. 326 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:14.000 And I mean, you have seen some animals cat and 327 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.839 or a dog and other animals who want nothing to 328 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:24.319 do with receiving care from event They claw, write and 329 00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:28.880 nip and do everything possible. And tell me about one 330 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:33.079 of those experiences how you've had to use extra energy 331 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:35.599 to keep Fido in place. 332 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.799 Well, the majority of that sort of skill that I 333 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.039 have learned now I use that mostly with like an 334 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.920 injured raccoon, because with our pets, we have medications that 335 00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:52.880 we can give to make a fear free visit. And 336 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.000 I always say, if you could go to the doctor 337 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.759 without being worried at all, why wouldn't you, So we 338 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:01.000 can offer that to animals. So at the beginning of 339 00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.400 my veterinary career, we did a lot of that, and 340 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.960 I got a lot of experience, you know, holding down 341 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:10.680 knotty cats or stressed out animals. But as we've learned more, 342 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.319 we you know, do better. And so there's there's medications 343 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.799 and there's treatment plans that can help make your pets 344 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.519 much more comfortable during a visit, because if you know, 345 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.279 if we just do it the hard way, it gets 346 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.759 harder every time they have to go. 347 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:32.279 I would think a full adult raccoon, it's going to 348 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:36.400 be a bit stronger than your year old house cat 349 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:44.680 or your year old beagle. Heck yeah, thank you for 350 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.599 recognizing that. I was right about that. So what do 351 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.519 you do in that situation? Do you have to take 352 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.359 precautions before they even get on the table, put them 353 00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.200 in some sort of restraint or what? 354 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.960 Absolutely? Absolutely So generally, when I have to deal with 355 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.640 something like that, it's when I have to get like 356 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:08.119 I can think of a story that I had to 357 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.039 get one out of a dumpster that was injured, so 358 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.480 I had to go in it couldn't use our typical method. 359 00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:16.640 If you have a dumpster and you have a raccoon 360 00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.279 caught in there, then just putting a two by four 361 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.839 in the dumpster and then they'll climb out themselves. But 362 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.039 if they're injured and that's not working, then I head 363 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.400 on into that dumpster and I'll do that with work gloves, 364 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:35.440 a big towel and a crate. And I wouldn't recommend 365 00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:41.400 anybody ever try that, calling your animal control for advice 366 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.640 and you know it is definitely the way to go. 367 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.640 But I can do anything with a towel, a nice, big, 368 00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:50.920 thick towel. That's how I do the majority of my restraint. 369 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.400 Have you been in that situation where there are more 370 00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:58.160 than one raccoons in a dumpster so you were outnumbered? 371 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:01.240 No, but I bet you if there was more than one, 372 00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:03.599 then two by four situation would work. 373 00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.640 That's so they walk out on the two by four, 374 00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:10.759 not wapping them with the two by. 375 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.440 Four exactly exactly. 376 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.200 Oh my goodness. I'm gonna give the phone numbers again 377 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.440 because I only have mariel up until the top of 378 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:26.079 the hour.
