Speaker 1: This is pet Life Radio. Let's talk pets, and.
Speaker 2: We are here live. Let's get set up. I want
to make sure you can all wake up this morning.
So that's the very very right. Yet I didn't realize
how bright did for it was. I said, Holy cow,
I glow in the dark. It's crazy. Anyway, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome,
here live with doctor Jeff. Here of the next thirty
minutes from Pet Life Radios. Ask the best with doctor
Jeff before anyone starts asking and wondering, what is going
on with my hand? So I basically I don't want
to believe my age. Actually, so what I do is
I still do things that most people my age wouldn't do,
like run a basketball game every Tuesday with kids in
their thirties and forties basically younger than my kids, which
is insane. Anyway, I took a crazy fall. My legs
got tangled with one of the other guys, and I
went flying landed in some way. I don't know exactly
what happened because my hand got so swollen I couldn't
even see my knuckles for like two weeks. But turns
out that Hey, dav are you doing phil time? How
are you Hello? Cloud chaser. So anyway, I must have
pulled my thumb way back and tore these tendons. It's
called the volar plate. So Friday, two days ago, I
had surgery on my volar plate to repair. I didn't
even know exactly what he did. I don't know if
he had to put pins in. I know I'm going
to see him probably tomorrow, just to talk to him.
He's a friend of mine. So he's a hand surgeon.
And it was funny because when I happened, I showed
him a finger and he looked at it. He says,
it's star flyer. I said, you know, Robbie, this is
not arthritis. Look at this hand. I mean I showed
him the difference. He goes, oh, so he started messing
with my family. He goes, oh, it looks like you
tore to your volar plate. Whatever it is. Anyway, he says,
but I'm booked out till the end of the year
and I'm retiring December thirty. First, he's a couple years
old than I am. I said, rob you can't retire.
I said, who else can? I trust? I don't know
anybody else anyway. Ps He calls me a week later,
had a cancelation, and I had it done on Friday,
So I'm in this thing for ten days. It's a
soft gap, but there's a metal plate in here to
keep my thumb from moving, which I can't obviously move.
And then I go back for the stitches out in
ten days, and then he's gonna put a hard cast
on for another two or three weeks. So ask me
how happy I am. I'm not that happy. You don't
realize how important the thumb is until you don't have
one to use. It is insane. I'm trying to revenate
with these two fingers. I'm sure he's to be so
mad at me for even doing what I'm doing. But anyway, yes,
now I can still work. I'm not supposed toucer. I
told him do it. So at least if I could
touch my index finger to my thumb and then I
can still hold the thumb for steps, then I can
actually do some work. But anyway, duh, Yes, somes matter,
but it's crazy, so I'll be a little slower doing things.
But it's God, it's just so frustrating. I mean, I'm
telling you, every time I try to do something, I
go wall. I can't do it right. But I was
able to. I was able to blow chauffeur. That's right.
Let's see, So any questions, you must have some questions.
I don't know if you've seeing my I've been seeing
some of the cutest animals, and I say, I saw
a couple of breeder animals. And again I'm not against breeders,
but understand what I'm against are things that are if
it's a backyard breeder. If you're going to be a breeder,
you got to do it right. You have to know
you know what. And just so you know, I always
tell people this and maybe we've talked about it before,
but if you are getting a dog and you're not,
you know, you see these ads online that the breeders
and the best puppies in the world, et cetera. You
need don't just jump out and you need to talk
to the breeder. First thing on the question ask is
is first of all, you want to relist the people
that have already purchased puppies. And most importantly, who's your veterinarian.
Just like if I asked any mom out there, who's
your peace atrition boom, They're gonna know it immediately. They
have to think about it. They know exactly who they
go to for my clients. And this is a very
unfortunate veterinarian world because it's not that way anymore. But
if people ask my clients, who's your vet, oh, doctor Teff,
I mean they know right away. Now, these corporate practices
are almost they don't want people to bond to a veterinarian.
They want them to bond to the practice. So you're
seeing a different vet all the time. I can't believe
that when people say, oh god, my pets are like
my kids. If you don't have a relationship with a veterinarian,
then they're not like your kids. Don't kid yourself, pardon
the pun. So anyway, make sure that if they can't
tell you who their vet was and so you can
call the veterinarian, how is this person as a breeder,
then it's a bad choice. And I'm telling you now,
if I had to pick one breed that I'm seeing
such terrible dogs, and it's a breed that is near
to my heart, French bulldogs. I am seeing some of
the worst French. He's coming out with so many problems
because they don't know exactly what they're doing. They're not
breeding cautiously. They're not finding out which parent might have
a problem if they don't want to pass on. I mean, God,
ask any breeder, would you breed a dog if it's
a mon orc it only one testicles descended into the
scrow to them. The answer is any legitimate breeder would say, oh,
no way. But a lot of these places are doing
stuff like that. They're breeding poor quality dogs, and that's
what gets me. So I've seen if you do your
homework and it's a legitimate breeder and they have great dogs,
and you can talk to them and double check and
check them out, then I'm okay with it. But having
said that, working with a number of rescues that I
work with, I have to tell you that I am
seeing some of the most amazing dogs. I joke that
if my bed was any bigger, I would take some
of these dogs. I mean, I already have five, so Ila,
be really careful our house. I'm sleeping in the doghouse.
But anyway, please, please please, If you are ready for
a pet, then I think look at some of these rescues.
You can see the dogs talk to the fosters that
are taking care of them. There are so many fantastic
dogs out there, and looks don't mean everything. So it said, yeah,
if you want that. I mean, I've been a Labrador
guy forever. It is my next dog. And the only
reason I have a pure bread Labrador now after Grover,
my dog that went sixteen and a half years, is
because it was a rehome. He was a purebread dog,
well bred. He's now fourteen and he's doing great and
he's beautiful. So yes, you can. I was lucky my Frenchie.
My Frenchie is a rehome. So my only two of
my five dogs that are purebread were both rehomes. Would
I get a dog now? I look, I love Labradors.
I've had them for over fifty years. I've had Labradors
my favorite dog ever. But would I get another pure breed?
Probably not? Because I work with I see how many animals.
The crime of these animals being put to sleep not
because they're a bad dogs. It's just because they're no
homes for them, and that to me just gets me
so anyway, and then the lapeck, that's right, Well, let's
talk about Mokie and Freddie. I should say Mookie is
the one that stayed so Freddie LA PetCare. So Lauren
has actually adopted one of my patients. There were two
dogs if you know anything about baseball, Mookie and Freddie.
Yes they are major LA Dodgers fans and Freddie. They
have to give Freddy up and guess who took him
LA PetCare And he is the greatest dog yet. So
that's okay when you see dogs like that and you
know them and they're well cared for, and that's support
right now, Suzanne, why arm Rapp you missed it. I
had a basketball injury. Don't tell me and give me
hell for playing basketball at seventy, but I'm gonna do
it anyway. But I fell in a weird way that
hyper extended my thumb and there's a bunch tendons and
ligaments here that tour and I had to have them fixed, reattached,
and I'm in this thing for got four weeks. Ask
me how happy I am? So anyway, Yes, so there
are some really really good And by the way, if
you run a particular breed, there are many of the
more popular breeds like Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers. There
are breed specific rescues so you can get probably a
pure breed or close to it, and still get the
dog of your choice. So there's no excuse not to
so let me. There was a question here about congestive
heart failure. Check out the new Costco Affordable Pet insurance.
Even I come and say, oh, so that's okay. Here's
one from Sharon. It's because you talk about this, can
you please check out the new Costco Affordable Pet insurance. Again,
it's not just the affordability, because even though like Nationwide
double their premium, it's insane. It's the philosophy, but bothers me.
The philosophy is that you have a problem that was
a minor problem of no consequence as a young dog,
and they're going to now basically not allow anything related
to this skin. For example, it was a papaloma, as
the example I gave before it a little puppy papoloma
oral papaloma, very common in puppies. And then six years
later the dog gets a growth on the skin that
looks like it might be a cancer. Oh no, we
don't cover that because there was a skin problem when
he was a puppy. But what do you create? Nothing
new with each other. They're always looking for excuse is
not to pay they're looking for pre existing Ah, God,
that's pre existing so or that's congenital. Everything going to
go back to something if you're really looking for a
way not to pay out. So that's my issue, and
it's just gotten besides the fact that premium has got
out of hand. Pause, it's is this environmental of food allergies? Again?
Great question, and I wish I could give you an
easy answer. There is no easy answer. One of the
things I will tell you this, if the problem appears
to be seasonal, it's probably not food unless you change
through each every season, which is unlikely. So then you're
looking at contact, meaning grasses, things that are put on
the grass is allergy or atopy atopic, which is the
inhaling of the pollens. So if it's seasonal, then the
better chance it is going to be a non food
related it's going to be environmental. Now here's another thing
you can do again, before you start spending a lot
of money on the allergy testing, which is expensive, you
have to ask yourself, are you willing to start medicating
either sublingually under the tongue daily for the rest of
the petch life or giving injections, almost like a diabetic
has to get insulin shots. If you're not willing to
do that, then treat symptomatically now through food elimination diet.
That's what I always want I say. But if you
treat the allergy as you would an inhaled allergy like
sided point or steroid or cyclosporin, any of the old
fashioned like the two preds and cyclosporin, even though suppression,
that's suppress the immune system so it doesn't react. Or
side a point which blocks the anagin. It is the
cellular mediator of the inflammatory response called interluken thirty one.
Side of point blocks into luken thirty one. If that works,
then you know it's probably a seasonal, environmental kind of allergy.
If it doesn't work, then it probably is going to
be food. It's a different pathway. So anyway, that's keep
that in mind. Ah, here we go. Because its congestive, heartful.
You always show up on chest x rays Charles great
beat to murmur AG thirteen and coughing. It's on people.
Bendim chextually didn't show much besides court. Okay, now your
very last sentence was the key right there. Okay, and
I'll read it in case those of you aren't seeing this.
The congestive heart failure always show up on a chest
X ray. A Chuao with grade B two murmur H
thirteen recently began coughing is on pema bending. Chest x
rays don't show much besides, of course, some heart enlargement.
And that's about all you're gonna see is heart enlargement.
The murmur tells you there is some valve deficits. They're
not closing properly. The enlarge heart can be secondary obviously
to the heart working harder to basically pump more blood
to compensate for the defective valves. Now do we have
congestive heart disease. Congestive heart fail usually gonna see lung
damage too. You're gonna see things in the lungs. You're
gonna see the fluidy. You're gonna see a hazy bronchioles,
and the lung tissue itself is going to show evidence
of thickness. You'll see more definitely within the test exers.
You're not just going to see a beautifully clear exit.
But remember this, thirteen year old dogs are going to
have some pulmonary fibrosis. Anyway, so it's going to be
really hard to tell. So the congestive heart disease that
and if you have a lot of fluid in the lungs,
then you might be able to make a diagnosis, or
at least a partial diagnosis. It's going to be on
your list of differentials from congestive heart failure. But as
far as the heart disease itself and whether it's functioning properly,
you got to go echo cardiography. Okay, you have to
have an echocardiagram. It's basically an ultrasound of the heart,
which can measure first of all, follow the blood flow
measure the pressures measure the amount of blood flowing through
going backwards. And when you have left sided heart failure,
where's the blood coming from into the left heart? From
the right heart, it goes through the lungs first, then
after the blood is oxygenated, it goes into the left
side of the heart and then it gets pumped out
of the order to go through the whole body. So
if there is a problem with the heart valves and
you have a backup of blood coming that goes from
the right heart into the lungs, then who's gonna feel
it the lungs, you're gonna feel it, and then you're
gonna get congestive heartful. That's exactly what it means. It's
usually a sign of left sided failure. The question is
how bad is it? And then if you have true
congestive heart disease, people abandon's good one hundred percent for
the heart, but you need to also treat the pulmonary
congestion and that's going you need to talk to your veterinarian.
It's gonna be spernlactone, it's gonna be lasix, something that
is going to help remove some of the fluid out
of the heart, avoiding salt and the diet. There are
a lot of things that need to be done, but
the most important thing is to do what you can
to increase the efficiency of the heart and the heart
pumping despite the bad valves. So echo cardiography is going
to be your answer to go along with it. Of course,
all right, let's see. Ah, So my daughter in law's mom, Frenchie,
won Westminster Best to Breed this year. She likes no
so I ah, if you have Sharon, if you have
a dog like that that you know obviously to win
Westminster which, by the way, that's fantastic. Then you know
you have a legitimate breader. So whoever's breeding the dog,
and if someone said, you know what, I want to
get a frenchie, that's who I would one hundred percent recommend.
Someone who has legitimate reading practices, who's experienced, who knows
what to look for in the mom and dad before
they breathe them, and they want to pass those good
trades on, then that's okay. But backyard breeders, they don't
do it. They don't know what to do. Let alone
do it. They have a French see of another French sie,
they put them together. Now that's not good enough. Open
a seater, yeah, that's my ranswer. Open up a seed
in your or investment in your dog's names. You put
the money. We talk about this every month automatically and
just let it, let it ride. I elevated liver enzymes.
Seven year old pig was put on daily medication for
a month, but the enzymes stayed the same. Next step ultrasound. Okay,
so also great question. So elevated lib enzymes. First of all,
there are a number of enzymes. They're big four. There's
ast not that important. Alt the most important. Okay, alk
foss very important in GGT. Now, the one that we
look at the most for true liver function is the
alt alkfoss tells us a lot. However, if you have
dogs with vacuolar hepatopathy, high ALTFAUSS, dogs with Cushing disease,
high alcfass, dogs that are on steroids or phoenobarbital, high alcvas.
So you need to get a good history first of
all to know where's this coming from. Now, ultrasound very important.
So if we have a dog with high liver enzymes,
then also have to ask up how are they behaving.
I've had dogs with alkin phosphatastes high normal is like
one hundred some test one hundred and thirty one. I've
seen it two thousand and the dogs are acting totally fine.
So we do it ultrasound and the liver looks pretty good.
Even sometimes you would do a bleeding panel and you
take little needle aspirts of the liver. Got to be
very careful, you know what you're doing. And but sometimes
you'll see is on the liver that indicate vacuolar epitopathy.
Dogs that are on steroids or preen of barbitol and
they're acty totally fine. So the one where you see
a sick dog and high liverenzame is going to be
alt alanine transphrase. So when that is elevated, now we
have a potential problem. We need to find out what
the answer is. So sometimes we just modify diet. We
can put them on a denim eron, which is a supplement,
a dnosil, and see if that helps the liver. If
it does, that's great, and it may not, so we
got to be you know, understand ultimately to really make
a diagnose, an accurate diagnosis. When it comes to liver
enzymes and the dog is actually not eating, losing weight,
showing evidence of being a sick dog, the answer is
going to come from a biopsy and that again done
very carefully. We do them. There's a device called the
true cut biopsy punch. Of course, you need to check
for bleeding first, make sure the dog has a good
normal bleeding panel. Secondly, you have to under ultrasound guiding
trying to if you see an abnormality. You want to
be really careful. But there are hazards and that is
you might hit something, You might hit a vessel, you're
doing this blindly. So the new updated treatment or diagnostic
aid of choice is laparoscopy. Doing the same thing with
a laparoscope has to be done by a board certified
interness unless you your general practitioner is really good at laproscopy.
So you can see exactly where you're gonna stick that
biopsy punch, you're gonna take a sample, you can continue
to watch to make sure it doesn't bleed like crazy,
and you're gonna get your answer. Nowadays, with that available
to me, even though I personally don't do it, I
would prefer that out because there's no sense from a
legal aspect forget to strict the dog from legally if
you do something to cut the old fashioned way and
knock on whatever. I've never ever and all the true
cuts I've done ever had a problem. So am I confident.
I'm still confident, but knowing that you never know when
that first probably you may encounter that first problem, and
then then you're screwed. So and then when someone hears,
if a lawyer hears that what you did out on
your own blindly and you had a board certific interness,
especially in West LA you know, not even a mile
away and you didn't refer it, then I'm in the hazeat.
So that's what I'd recommend. A liver biopsy and then
go on. So it's ultrasound look at the liver. You
can do a needle asp but those are pretty safe
again under an ultrasound guide. But if you're gonna do
a biopsy to get your ultimate answer, you should do
a laparoscopy with a board service specialist. All right, we're
gonna break right now. I'm gonna look at some more
questions in meantime while we're having our commercial break on
pet Life Radio, and we'll be back. Tony, how you doing,
Thank you, Thank you so much, KB Life. I'm gonna
accept this request. And if it was for real, and
you see one year ago probably needs another Julianne, what
what were we talking about? Let me know. So let
me break for one second. You guys stay here on Instagram.
I'll that Mark do the commercialist part put Life Radio
and so you guys don't go await and you'll be
right after you.

Speaker 2: Back here. We just got a good question about pamlikopenia,
which is feline carbovirus. If a group of cats and
a rescue situation dies of kindoikopenia, does that mean all
the other cats have it? And the answer is no,
if they're all acting fine. First of all, it's a virus,
so there's no test for it anyway. You can just
treat them, monitor them one thing that's going to ravage
through the entire household, but of course keep an eye
on some of the other kids whollow it. Probably there
was something going on from the immune system, some immuno
compromisation in that particular cat. Okay, even the same litter,
So keep an eye on that it was congestive heart
failure right, So again then if it was congestive heart failure,
my hunch is that there was something in the lungs
that you can see. And because when they're coughing, then
usually going to see something in the lums when any
coughing animal, I always take Chesteck trayce and you can
learn a lot from a chest deck rays and then yes,
if there's there's certain things you're looking for within the
lung tissue itself and the bronchials and the main bronchi
and the alveli, then you'll usually with congestive part for
you have alveoler disease, then yes, you can make that
diagnosis based on X rays. All right, REGENTSA, I am
still trying to get information from my friends the interness.
I don't like going to these companies that make it
because look at Librella Librella. I've spoken at length to
Zoetis and they are confident that these issues are not
abnormal reactions to any drug. It's like when you go
when your heroos commerce's on TV the very end of
the commercial. First of all, the scenes are beautiful, and
these people and then smiling all of a sudden at
the very end, man can do this and this and
this and this and even death. So does that mean
are people not going to use it? Obviously someone's using
it and or I heard one what on the radio here?
I forget what the disease is one of the gas
to intestinal colitis or inflammatory ballel and they're both bosting.
And three out of ten even showed, you know, remission
for a year thirty percent in you're at that's not
too good if it was seventy eighty percent. Now we're
talking so thirty percent, Really, are you going to risk
getting improvement? We're seventy percent time that didn't work or
it only works short term, and who knows how a
percent of people actually got really sick because of it,
So you know they're still standing by librella. Again, personally,
I think I've had one model reaction. The dog wasn't
feeling well after the shot, and this was out their
fourth or fifth one, so you know that it was working.
If it wasn't working really well, why would they have
come in for the next one, of the next one,
of the next one. So and then I'm not even
sure that their older dogs was that the fifth one
or fourth one actually made them sick. I don't know.
There's no way to tell, but we are we're holding
back for now. And then another one is convinced that
it was a Librella shot that really I don't know
if the dog passed away, but it was really bad. Again,
it is so hard to tell when you have these
condition is that you're using the drug because of old
dogs and I'm not sure anyway for ecoss lives matter
on that great pyne. Can you please send me pictures,
get an up close picture, and I'll be happy to
follow up with you. But it may be something and
maybe even something on the third eyelid, but it's not
quote unquote cherry I because that gland only is on
the inside. I've never seen a prolapsed gland of the
third eyelid anywhere but the medial cantas. So now my
problem is much of my work, as you know, is surgery,
and I'm thinking I had to get this done because
the longer I wait, sooner I would probably end up
developing arthritis in that joint because at the time, without
those tendons and ligaments keeping that thumb in place. Then
I would end up getting arthritis in that joint. Then
I'm really screwed. That becomes a lifelong problem. And for
someone who does a lot of surgery like I do,
I didn't want to run that risk of having, you know,
really really better arthritis. Okay, Kavi' not able to doing good.
I just didn't want to ignore you, all right, I
think I hope I got to all thank you, Susan.
Could I still work? Yes, I'm doing I can do
certainly minor things, so that's good. So if there any
last questions, now is the time I'm trying to waive
to everybody. Now's the time to ask them, because we
had a good group today. Have I worked on primates
dealing with an anxiety issue in a lemur? I have
not interested. At UC Davis they have the primate Center,
which is very popular, so I personally have not worked.
It wasn't really part of our normal training unless you
were going to the exotic animal or zoo animal tract.
And I went small animal knowing that. Yeah, so blocked
tear duct of a cat. So now the great questions
coming Roland hold on zero is Peter recovery? What are
the thoughts on CBD oil or treats to commodore absolutely
worth trying. I like CBD. I also have my own product,
as you know, called chill, which is you know, all
the natural remedies that are that are advertise el trip
to fan, melatonin, valerian rud, passionate flower, cama meal. So again,
some dogs do well and some don't. What I promise
guarantee that CBS gonna work, Absolutely not. But I will
tell you that if you want to avoid the drugs
to start, I would certainly put that on my list
of things to try before going to the heavy duty stuff.
And so try it, you'll be amazed. I'm looking for Rolands.
I pup pooped all over the car and that night
even had the little blood in his tool. But now
seems fine. This stool is fine, and energy is fine.
You're causing it no cause concern. So first of all,
when we see soft stool anywhere from mushy cowpatty like
to flat out diarrhea, especially with nucus and blood and
the dog otherwise acting normally, still eating, et cetera, it
is colitis. I wouldn't say one hundred percent. I'm never
supposed to all, say ninety nine percent colitis. Now, why
does dogs sat colitis? Well, let's put the list. It's
a pretty long list. Nerves, stress, anxiety, excitement, diet, diet change,
eating something here she shouldn't have. Then, of course, in
a puppy parasites. Now you have a pup going into
a car. I don't know how many times you take
them in the car. But now let's talk about nerve, stressed, anxiety, excitement,
and they're gonna let loose and have this irritated bowel.
It's gonna cause diarrhea, it's gonna have a little mucous
on it, They're gonna have maybe a little blood. It's
a normal reaction. I would say it's normal, but it's
a normal reaction. That's exactly what happens under those conditions.
So what I recommend simply is to start add a
little fiber to the diet, maybe decrease the amount of
food just a little. What kind of fiber, Well, the
hot fiber now that's being recommended by the interness that
GI docs is sillium powder. It's pretty concentrated, a very
small amount. So if it's a pup, maybe an eighth
of a tea spoon mixed in with the food, and
might tell people feed add fiber to the diet, brand
cooked oat meal, can pumpkin, sweet potato, cook sweet potato,
cooked potato, or ccilium. All of a sudden, they tell
me that the dog still has diarrhea. Well, how much
to do you use? They go, I was feeding them pumpkin. Oh,
you added this small amount to their regular diet. You dope.
Give them a straight pumpkin out of the can. Of
course they're gonna have diarrhea. It's all about volume for
most dogs, maybe half a teaspoon to a teaspoon. If
it's a huge dog, it might be a tablespoon, but
not plain mixed in with their regular food. With silium,
which more concentrated. You're going from a small amount an
eighth of a teaspoon to a quarter to maybe a
half a teaspoon, and a big dog. Again, you mix
it in with the food, and if that doesn't work,
Plus it's a pup by now, I would imagine this
puppy already had a fecal sample run if it was negative,
so you can eliminate that GRD or something. If it
was positive. Obviously you need to treat the parasites. If
it wasn't done, then bring a stool sample to your
veterinarian and have them evaluate the stool to see if
there were any parasites or giardia. And then beyond that
the next step. If the dietary modification and adding the
fibri alone doesn't work, then see your vet. I would
start something called flagile and nectronitisol and it seems to
be very very helpful in cases of colitis. All right,
what's the best tool to clip nails? The nail file
of the clippers? Well, I would say the best thing.
It depends on the animal. We use nail clippers and
then we use the dremo to just round out the edges.
There are dremos out there that are silent. You don't
hear it. The pet doesn't really feel it unless you
get too much. You don't want it the quick. Now,
if you don't know what you're doing, or the nails
are black, you're better off taking a little less because
if you take more and you hit that quick, and
the first of all, what do you have that quick?
You have the nerve and you have the blood supply.
If you want to develop a pet that is going
to go nuts next time you approach them to clip
and nails. Clip their nails a little too short a
few times or even once, and you've lost it. So
you're better off. Less is more, don't do it if
you're not sure. Now, clear nails ring and actually see
what you're doing, then it's a little easy to avoid
the quick because you can see the pink part through
the sort of clear nail. Now, if you have dogs
and many and cats, some of are clear and some
of the nails are black pignited, then look how much
you took away from the clear ones, and you could
do that same amount from the black ones and you
should be okay. Now, if they're really not that long,
you just want to take the sharpness away, use a dremal.
The drummer is great. Filing with a nail file, you
could do it, but it's the back and forth too much.
I think the pets can object. But you did dremal
where you can just keep in one spot and the
dremo is doing the thing going around around is doing
the filing, then they do really well with that. So
my recommendation. So where that's where it starts. Okay, primeate,
it's hard way Kippos, Steve, I wish you got all that. Oh,
and b to Kevin, what happened to my arm again?
I hyper extended, took a fall playing basketball with youngsters.
Had nothing to do with that. It was just two
of us running for the same ball. Our legs got
entangled and I went flying. And the way I landed
I don't know exactly. All I know my hand was
stuck un me, and which is a good thing. I
broke the fall because even with that, I still hit
my chin on the hard work pretty hard. Fortunately, nothing
happened to that. I maybe rattle my brain a little bit.
Maybe that's why I sound the way I do. But whatever.
So I had to surgery to reattach. It's called the
volar plate. And now I'm stuck in this thing, well
this thing for ten days, stitches out after ten and
then he puts on a hard cast for another two
or three weeks. So I'm not so when he's three
years old and in the car off and it probably
ate something. Yeah, something could be that that is simple
and it just was coincidental, all right, Lauren Danielle, all right, good.
I overstayed my welcome as is normally the case of course,
I'm available anytime. For those of you who are going
