So anyway, prepare 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,680 for your questions. A couple of things. Oh hello, hello, 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,079 oh c Neil. So remember a couple of had a 19 00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:17,000 tough couple of cases the last couple of weeks. One 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,760 was the systotomy on the which is a bladder surgery 21 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,640 on the So, oh she does want to be my 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,840 live video, So hold on a second, we're gonna invite 23 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,079 you into Speccis. Don't go away. So one was the 24 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,920 giant Schnauzer two year old that had these I mean 25 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,560 thirty bladderstones to what was it crazy? And I mean 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,200 online I posted him. It was a tremendous picture. Anyway, 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,200 the dog is doing great. The second one is Prince. 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,560 Prince was the yellow lab that was thank god. That 29 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:53,159 was is the yellow lab who he ate a stuffed 30 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,359 little bear toy that his dad bought him, thinking how 31 00:01:56,439 --> 00:01:58,560 cute for the dog to play with. Yeah, it was 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,599 so cute to play with it. And now, mind you, 33 00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:05,519 this is a dog that already had intestinal surgery to remove. 34 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,959 I think it was either a socer or a towel 35 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,439 or something was gi track and of all things, to 36 00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:13,800 give him a little toy this big oh my god, 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,479 Oh he was smaller than two seconds. So anyway, that 38 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,240 was also interesting. So let me I'm gonna review this request. 39 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,479 I'm gonna accept two of them. So anyway, they are 40 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,199 both doing great, which I'm thrilled. In fact, Tipper, who 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,759 is the giant Snauger, literally lives two doors down for me, 42 00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:35,680 and so he have this beautiful balcony on the second floor. 43 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:42,199 And so which blast can you talk about? Blast? A bloat? 44 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,479 Oh okay, that makes sense. Clast we're going to talk 45 00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:48,960 about that's comes the fourth of July. But bloat. So, yes, 46 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,639 we'll talk about bloat. That's a good one. So anyway, 47 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280 so he sits down on his balcony and he barks 48 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,439 at everybody going by, and the hey staff, he barks 49 00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:00,960 at everybody going by, and so but he he looks 50 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,400 we have this whole thing going on, and I can 51 00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:06,479 go out on my front porch and say tipper tipper, 52 00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:08,840 and he is standing. I'm afraid that he was gonna 53 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,039 want to jump off the second floor balcony, so I 54 00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:13,520 gotta be really careful. But he is really really cute. 55 00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:18,639 So anyway, let's talk about bloat. So basically, bloat is 56 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,800 a condition that we see mostly in large breed, deepchested dogs. 57 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,280 All right, and ah, this goes along with it. Is 58 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,000 it okay for dogs to drink water during outdoor play? 59 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,360 This all kind of sort of comes together when we 60 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,479 talk about bloat. Great question, thank you. And that is 61 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,680 this that dogs, these the large breed deep tested dogs, 62 00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:44,639 basically they have a pendulous stomach, Okay, let me just swinging, 63 00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,960 rocking back and forth. It's attachment does not The attachments 64 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,360 aren't great. So what happens is they will eat or drink, 65 00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:55,080 and sometimes we don't even know exactly why it happens. 66 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Sometimes they can lie on one side and roll over 67 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,319 to the other side. And if there's a lot of 68 00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:02,599 water or ingest in the stomach, getting it gets weighing 69 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:05,560 that stomach down. Think about it. The body is moving, 70 00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,479 but the stomach is weighed down, so it doesn't move. 71 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,000 It stays where it is, and in essence, the body 72 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,400 rolls over the stomach. Or in essence, then it's almost 73 00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,160 if the body was fable and the stomach is rolling 74 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,759 over its own axis and it blocks off both ends. 75 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,439 It blocks off the esophageal end and the du dinol 76 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,720 end and basically yanks the type. So now what happens 77 00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:32,000 is you have stomach gas. You have bacteria producing gas. Right, 78 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,759 there's fluid building up, and there's no place for it 79 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,240 to go. They can't vomit it up or burk it up. 80 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,759 They can't. It doesn't get through right at the bylorus, 81 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,959 which is that part of the stomach, leaving the stomach 82 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,680 going into the small intestine. So what happens is it 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,000 causes bloat. The stomach gets bigger and bigger and bigger. 84 00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:55,600 They try to vomit and they can't. And you'll notice 85 00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,839 if you have such a large, deep tested dog, you 86 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,319 will notice their abamen getting bl loaded, thus bloat, and 87 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,240 they are dry heaving. They're continually going as nothing's coming 88 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,560 out because they can't. It is a very very dangerous condition. 89 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,600 It is an emergency. And when I get calls that 90 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,680 air vet and with that history, you know, usually it's 91 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,360 a large red standard. Poodles, for example, can get this. 92 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,759 Great Dangs are notorious for it. Bertie's Mountain Dogs, new Fees, 93 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,759 all these large dogs that have a tendency to run around. 94 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:34,279 So now let's get to the question about drinking water 95 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,399 drink outdoor play. So what happens is when they are outdoor, 96 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,600 they will not drink necessarily just a small amount of 97 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,199 water that's going to satisfy them. No way. What they're 98 00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:48,319 gonna do is they're gonna drink way too much. Now 99 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,720 that stomach, that muscular sack is sitting there very heavy. 100 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,480 Then the dog is running around, changing, turning, you know, 101 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,319 lying down, getting up, rolling, over whatever, and then that 102 00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:03,959 stomach sits there and that yanks. It causes bloat, and 103 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,040 the only way to fix it is surgery and emergency surgery. 104 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,160 It is really dangerous. I've seen stomachs rupture. If it 105 00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:16,120 happens in the middle of the night and you're sleeping, 106 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,399 you're going to wake up very possibly to a dead dog. 107 00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:22,600 It is when you see it, you know, it's funny. 108 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,240 I talk about this a lot. We were out at 109 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,600 a cousin's house in New York and we were going 110 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,759 to be leaving that day. It was a Sunday and 111 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,920 there are two gorteous yellow labradors and one of them 112 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,360 was rent to the backyard trying to even even I'm 113 00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:40,040 watching him every time I went outside, I'm watching him 114 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:42,480 and I'm noticing his stomach any bigger. And said, guys, 115 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,160 this is what We got to take him to a 116 00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:46,959 vet right away. So it was a Sunday morning. Took 117 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,879 him to the vent for see. They were open and 118 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,959 lash I said that we don't have a doctor. The 119 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,480 gooser he said, I'll do the surgery, but there's some 120 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,639 legal issues, I guess because I'm not licensed in New 121 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,000 York whatever. So they called in an area because it 122 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,680 was an emergency, and the VET that does the surgeries 123 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,399 for them actually came in did the surgery and literally 124 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720 literally saved this life. When we go in to the 125 00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:16,160 surgery and to do this bloat surgery that we derotate sometimes, 126 00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:19,279 I mean it's really dangerous. Sometimes you see part of 127 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,000 the stomach already black because of lack of blood supply. 128 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,160 It locked off the blood supply. Then you have to 129 00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:27,000 do a procedure to remove that dead part of the stomach. 130 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,199 A lot of times the spleen is either going to 131 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:31,839 rupture or they automatically take off the screen as well, 132 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,879 and we have to do what's called a gastro PEXI, 133 00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:39,399 which is we then attacks the stomach to the body 134 00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:43,040 wall to prevent it happening in the future. And it's 135 00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:47,560 a it's a major, major surgery. Ellen Burke, good morning, Doc. 136 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600 I have a question I gave my dog Braveco took it. 137 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,959 That's few hours later he threw up. Was ah, it's 138 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,720 a good question. You If three hours, I would say 139 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,720 you're probably okay. Now Raveco is good for twelve weeks. 140 00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:02,000 Might two want to maybe follow up in eight weeks. 141 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,839 By the way, By the way, everyone says, oh, twelve week, 142 00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:08,120 twelve weeks. That's for fleas. There are certain ticks, especially 143 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360 if you're in a tick laden area. After vecto is 144 00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:13,639 only good for eight weeks, so it's not terrible. If 145 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,120 you have to is just go ahead and give the 146 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,480 prevecto at eight weeks later two months, just to be safe. Now, 147 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,399 if you start seeing a lot of fleas within then 148 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,759 after a month it's okay. You can give a second 149 00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:30,399 one then too. But I would say after three hours, 150 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,519 I would expect eight weeks should be okay. At least 151 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,000 eight weeks would be okay. And again if you gave 152 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,559 it with food, maybe next time you get without food. 153 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,480 If you get without food, give it with food. An 154 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,879 any medication that's given to an animal could cause vomiting. 155 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,320 So I mean, for example, one of my favorite antibiotics 156 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,039 is called klavimox is the equivalent of human augmenting. Also 157 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,919 in many cases can cause vomiting. So you know it 158 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,120 is what it is. It's a really great antiboticis yeah, 159 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,519 I'm antibiotic. We use most for dog bites or any 160 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,399 kind of infection, skin infection that is a little deeper 161 00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:04,039 where a simplest f which is the cephodoxeine, which is 162 00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:08,720 one of the sephalless porn antibotics, which are great for skin. 163 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,279 They may not be if you have a deep infection. 164 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,039 That's why for bite wounds or deep punctures, I like 165 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,120 the augmenting better than in the stephless borns Okay, next, next, next, 166 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,519 So we got a number of you here now, so 167 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:27,759 let's talk a little bit about fourth of July. So 168 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,000 first of all, by show hens you can chime back in. 169 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:32,759 I want to know how many of you have pets 170 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,519 that seem to freak out during Fourth of July. And 171 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,120 I know some of you out there are or cat parents, 172 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:44,000 and do your cats freak out at all turing fourth July? Cats, 173 00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:47,279 I don't think are bothered that much about it. I 174 00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,799 have four cats, they are not. They could care less. 175 00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:53,679 Now I have five dogs and luckily for me, they 176 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,279 could care less as well. So I don't know exactly 177 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,279 what it is, but we do have some solutions, and 178 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,480 we have short term solutions, and we also have long 179 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,600 term solutions. Long term solutions too late, too late to 180 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,200 start now, so this gear up for next year maybe, 181 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,840 but short term here's what we recommend. First, of all, 182 00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:16,559 let me know, if I'm just curious, how many of 183 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,320 you have dogs that are very, very sensitive to loud sounds, 184 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,159 to blast, to thunder and lightnings. It usually the same thing, 185 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,639 by the way, thunder and lightning, if there's some construction 186 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,840 going on next door, things like that that could cause 187 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,440 a lot of anxiety and fear in these dogs. Is 188 00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,320 that it's that fear of the very loud sounds. What 189 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,279 is the association? I don't know now. One thing, I 190 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,039 will tell you that if a dog a lot, just 191 00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:47,879 so you know, a lot of times we have created 192 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,279 this anxiety, this fear, and we've done it not intentionally, 193 00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:57,559 but it's unintentional, and it's because what happens. The classic 194 00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:02,200 example is a dog we aren't showing some fear response 195 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,480 to these loud sounds, and they want to hide, they 196 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,320 want to go under furniture, they might want to rup 197 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,000 to you. So what do we watch our natural inclination, 198 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,120 our national pet parent instinct, when it comes to any 199 00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:17,679 of our animals showing some fear behavior. What do we do, 200 00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:20,919 Just like with a kid, we coddle them. Oh, you 201 00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,080 poor girl, you poor boy, come here, Come to dad, 202 00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:25,919 come to mom. Oh it's Okay, it's okay, right, So 203 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,799 what have we just done? Inadvertently? We have just basically 204 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,720 praised them re reinforce that behavior through praise and comfort. 205 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,480 So now what does the dog learn? Oh my god, 206 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,039 this is great. Every time I hear this sound, I 207 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,639 run to mom, I run to dad. I get these hugs, 208 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,679 I get these kisses, I get a treat. Life is wonderful, 209 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,840 life is grand. So what do we see. We see 210 00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:53,240 dogs that when it comes to fourth in July, they 211 00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:57,399 are now have this prior experience that, Wow, this is great. 212 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,279 I don't really care about this sound that much, but 213 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,440 you know what, I love the fact that when I 214 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,639 show fear, I'm getting all these hugs and kisses and 215 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,480 I'm getting a treat. So the goal is for now, 216 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:10,159 if you do have a dog that's actually in fear, 217 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,600 we want to put them in their own quiet room, 218 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,639 maybe with windows closed. Maybe get some nice music. Interestingly, 219 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,799 a lot of dogs respond well to classical music. I'm 220 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,679 not a huge fan, but your dogs maybe, And so 221 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,679 you want to play some soft classical music, Maybe put 222 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,840 the TV on and put the TV on with some 223 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,720 you know, maybe some kind of show that might be 224 00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,000 a little look at cartoons or something something that may 225 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,919 be a lot of noise on a lot of images 226 00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:38,519 that they can you know, follow and that will distract them. 227 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,399 And you try to drown out the sound of the 228 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:45,559 fireworks through the music or the TV. So that is 229 00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:47,879 that is a possibility. And give them their food, give 230 00:12:47,919 --> 00:12:49,480 them a little treat, give us some to play with. 231 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,360 So basically, let them sort of find relaxation and to 232 00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:59,399 stop them from the fear by putting them in their 233 00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,039 own safe, quiet room. What you don't want to do. 234 00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:04,679 What you don't want to do is leave them outside 235 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,799 by themselves. You don't. They will hop a fence sometimes 236 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,320 they get so fearful it's amazing what they do destruction wise, 237 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,120 and they will get escape. And if they do, they 238 00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:17,440 are going to freak and they are going to run. 239 00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:19,919 They're going to possibly get hit by car. It is 240 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,200 very dangerous. So you do not put them outside, even 241 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,519 in what you think is a secured fence. To your 242 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,600 heart is keep them inside, windows, close, muse it going, 243 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,200 maybe the TV on, and that's the best way to 244 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:36,200 keep them quiet. And as far as longer term, will 245 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,840 talk about that in a minute. You got to come back. 246 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,559 We are halfway through a show boy. It goes fast 247 00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:43,159 and so far no one's asked me about my forehead. 248 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:48,480 So after you're thinking what is going on on his forehead? Well, 249 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,440 I will say briefly, I'll give you the details. I 250 00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:55,679 lost a battle to a cage at my hospital. So 251 00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,080 what does that mean? So I'll tell you where we 252 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,679 come back after these or messages? 253 00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 3: Bill go away. 254 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: You know the expression cats have nine lives?

So so I've heard some of 266 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:06,559 you already. Uh he runs reads us every time he 267 00:15:06,559 --> 00:15:08,919 hears a loud noise. You see, all right? And uh, 268 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,759 let's see Jerry account of the dog does not care. 269 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,840 The Australian freaks out, shepherd freaks out. That's unusual. Also, 270 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,960 here's what we want to do conceptually. Now it might 271 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,039 take a little bit. Uh yeah, you see. Rain is 272 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:23,919 another one. And let me tell you there's something. Let 273 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,279 me tell you something fascinating about dogs. Okay, if you're 274 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,320 anyone into weather, there is something that happens prior to 275 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,960 a rain storm, and usually with rain comes power and lightning. 276 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,519 So yeah, no, we're gonna talk about the fourth of July. 277 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,879 So that's that's coming up, Keith. So anyway, and that 278 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:51,759 is that that the so they have a sense about 279 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,720 being able to feel the changes in barometric pressure. So 280 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,200 what happens and when it first happens, they don't know 281 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,720 what it means, they know it. And then what happens 282 00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,600 a day or two later the rain and the thunder 283 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:07,559 and lightning, and that starts freaking them out. So I 284 00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,279 get calls from people I've already heard on the news 285 00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:13,519 all right or the weather report that we have a 286 00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,559 big storm coming. And people are calling me, say, my dad, 287 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,320 my dog is acting really weird, shivering, hiding, and I know, 288 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,440 you know why. They can sense that change of parametric pressure. 289 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:31,559 They are already reacting, pre reacting to the upcoming rain 290 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,639 and thunderstorm, and that's what freaks them out. So they're 291 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:38,120 making that association as soon as they feel that change 292 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840 of parametric pressure, which is why a lot of times 293 00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:44,159 they know your dogs should predict a rainstorm. When you 294 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,200 see that behavior, you know something's coming on. So anyway, 295 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,879 let's talk about the load noising. So what we can do. Well, 296 00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:53,559 first of all, let's go one thing, because Keith is 297 00:16:53,559 --> 00:16:55,639 on and he asks, what can we do? So besides 298 00:16:55,679 --> 00:17:00,440 the quiet room and the TV and maybe a music playing, 299 00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:03,120 all the windows closed, et cetera, you may if you 300 00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:05,559 have a dog that really freaks out, speak your veterinarian. 301 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,400 You can do try things is mild as benadru about 302 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,319 twenty one milligran per pound twenty five pound dog one 303 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,079 adult benado it's twenty five milligrants. If it's a fifty 304 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,920 pound dog, give two, seventy five, give three. That can do. 305 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,319 You could also look for something more natural. Any of 306 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:25,319 the calming formulas my chill might help, which is valerian passion, 307 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,279 flower camameal el trip to fan, melatonin. All these things 308 00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:32,880 can help naturally. If your dog really freaks out, Hey, doc, 309 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:35,680 call your bet. I need some of that xanax. I 310 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,440 need some of that. It's brombasine. I need some of 311 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,720 that trasidone. You may need something that is heavier duty, 312 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,480 and that's okay. But of course my goal would be 313 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,079 to plan ahead for next year already. So yes, if 314 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,279 you need if you need medication, Keith, come and call me. 315 00:17:52,319 --> 00:17:55,599 We'll get you some trasidone. So and I always say 316 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,359 when it comes to things like krazodone and xanax, if 317 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,319 it doesn't work for your dog, but your dog is 318 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,240 driving you crazy because the fear you could take it, 319 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,839 it'll relax you at least, so you want to have 320 00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:09,640 to worry so much about your dog, Okay, But anyway, 321 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,640 so here here's what the best thing I think is, 322 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,720 and it's it is very challenging at first because it 323 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,880 takes a while. That's why I said, you can't if 324 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,119 you do this starting tomorrow, it's not gonna work. You 325 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,240 don't have enough time. The goal here is to take 326 00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:26,440 when we train dogs, well, how we train there a 327 00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:29,000 positive reinforcement and a lot of times you want to 328 00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:34,359 desensitize them to that that is upsetting to and not 329 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,920 only desensitize them, which is just you can stop right there. 330 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,119 But better yet, counter conditioning them to really want to 331 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,359 like it instead of having them fear loud sounds. Have 332 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,480 them well, let's look vote to the loud sounds in 333 00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:48,880 a good way, not in a bad way. They come 334 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,400 to you for hugs and kisses, but in a good way. 335 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,599 They come to you for their treat. How do we 336 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,000 do it? So you can down though? Now? I mean 337 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,400 years ago I used to tell people to do to 338 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000 tell yeah, how long I've been picing to get a 339 00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:05,119 cassette of of of you know, a sound effects tape. 340 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,359 Then it had the you know, the beeping of the 341 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,759 of the big buses or construction trucks when they're making 342 00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:16,359 all this noise, the backup the trash trucks. It would 343 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,720 have thunder and lightning. It would have fireworks, sonic booms, 344 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,079 all that stuff. Okay, and so what will you do 345 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,359 then is you start playing it very same thing now, 346 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,200 but you don't have to get a tape a tape. 347 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,960 These sound effects right online download them that you can 348 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,960 pick it up. So you get Fourth of July fireworks 349 00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:36,480 or just fine works, and you start put them in 350 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,559 a room with you there and you play pay play 351 00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:42,599 it so low you can't hear it. Remember, their their 352 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,599 ears are very sensitive. They can pick up tones that 353 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,440 we don't hear, okay, so when it's a very low decibel, 354 00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:54,799 they can pick it up. And you they call them over, sir, 355 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,039 zones or noises, come whatever name you want to give it, okay, 356 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,279 and they come here. That's a good boy, good girl, 357 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:04,200 and give a treat. Okay. And you do this a 358 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,200 couple of times at that level. Then they do the 359 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,240 to do this like two, three, four times a week. 360 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,720 Then you go you increase the volume a little bit more. Still, 361 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,359 now it's barely you can barely hear it, but they 362 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,519 can hear it. Oh my god, sounds or got a 363 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:20,240 blast wherever you want to call it, and you come 364 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,960 over and give a treat. So it's so low it 365 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,359 doesn't bother them, but they do hear it. So now 366 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,160 what's gonna happen is when they hear this sound, they're 367 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,440 gonna run to you and they're gonna get a treat. 368 00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:35,359 But calmly, they're nice, good boy, and that's it. So 369 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,200 what happens is you increase the volume every training period, 370 00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:43,160 every every other training period, increase the volume of more 371 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,559 until you get to the point and this could take 372 00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:46,960 a month, it could take two months where it is 373 00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:50,920 blasting and they're company you tail wagging. Is they're gonna 374 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,000 get their treat. So it's a it's a it's a 375 00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,000 very different thread. They're looking at it as a good 376 00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:59,920 thing instead of a bad thing. Instead of fear, give 377 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,400 to hear sense joy because the association has totally changed 378 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,319 from something that is, as they said, a fearful stimulus 379 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,079 to something that is soothing, something they like, and they're 380 00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:14,039 gonna associate it with something positive because they're gonna get 381 00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:15,839 their treat. They're gonna get to be with you in 382 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,480 a good way. And so they no longer are they 383 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:20,680 gonna be running for cover. They're gonna be sitting at 384 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,599 your feet, coming up with the couch, just sort of 385 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,279 head on your lap and just it's it's they're gonna 386 00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:28,680 be They're not gonna have that anxiety. You won't need 387 00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:32,079 the trasidonne, you won't need the sanax, the ace bromosine, 388 00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:36,319 the chill, the benadryl, nothing, because to them, it's gonna 389 00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:39,400 be a positive instead of a negative type of reaction. 390 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,799 So if you do it, and you do it slow, 391 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,720 it works really really well. Okay, let's see you. So 392 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:51,640 tomorrow I have a surgery coming up and it's fortunately 393 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,160 but enough to do it very often if I've had 394 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,720 a couple of weird surgeries coming up, I had to. 395 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,319 If you remember, I took a mass off of the 396 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,319 cat a catch thigh and it was a vaccine induced 397 00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:05,640 star coma, which is why again we only vaccinate cats 398 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,319 in a thigh because if they get this feline vaccine 399 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,160 to douce star cooma, we can save their lives by 400 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,799 amputating a limb. So this was one that I thought 401 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,720 I was kidding myself, of course, but I thought I 402 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:21,200 could get it. If not all most I did a 403 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,720 pretty dramatic surgery. I figured better this and have to 404 00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:27,960 go back in again than the amputating a leg right 405 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,240 off the bat. So sure enough it went great. Came 406 00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:35,480 back just the other day with a little teeny nodule. 407 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720 This literally this bait, so I mean, and I can 408 00:22:38,839 --> 00:22:40,160 get my hand out of it. So I said, you 409 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,480 know what, let's not wait, let's get it off right away, 410 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,880 and took it off. Remains to be seen. I cut 411 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,880 pretty deep. I'm hoping that if you can get under 412 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,240 it and since this was in a thigh, I was 413 00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:54,160 able to have to go through the muscle. I was 414 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,160 able to shoot her. I cut a piece of muscle 415 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,079 with it, suture the muscle back together. The cat should 416 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,720 do fine. And speaking of cats, as I told you 417 00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:07,599 this right here. So what happened was, as I was saying, 418 00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:10,559 a lord of this cat, a sweet, sweet cat, all 419 00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:13,000 of a sudden the cage door is open. I'm pet 420 00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:16,079 in it, and it tried to make a beeline. I 421 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,799 had two dogs sitting the treatment room floor with my texts, 422 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,160 and here this cat was going to jump out of 423 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,039 the cage, and where was they going to go? It 424 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:30,079 made me a dog's mouth, so I quickly, as it's coming, 425 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,079 I slammed the dorse and on the way the problem 426 00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:36,240 that goes into the latch on the side of the cage. 427 00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:40,000 I close. It hit me literally, so the cage here 428 00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:43,200 right ends about here. But this thing was sticking out 429 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,920 to here and I didn't realize it, and that thing 430 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,279 clumped me right in the head, opened up a gash. 431 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,319 They all thought I should go get stitches. I didn't 432 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,960 want to go. At first. I couldn't leave the practice. 433 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,400 Come on, I had tentyepoited to see me. So we 434 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,880 made a little butterfly bandage and it actually looks pretty 435 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,079 good now, so it'll you know, it's another battle scar 436 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,440 like I have plenty already from years and years. My 437 00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:11,200 thumb now, as you can see, is just starting to heal. Mark. 438 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,359 Can't you see that right there? My thumb? So that 439 00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:16,880 was that was last week I had. I think I 440 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:22,000 talked about this two bites same day, both from French bulldogs, 441 00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:26,119 but different Frenchies at different times of the day. So, uh, 442 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:28,480 they're heal pretty good. I heal one good thing. I 443 00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:31,200 heal really fast. I think you know, they knew when 444 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,720 I was going to become a veterinarian, when I was 445 00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:37,440 probably in my mom's womb. I uh I was. I 446 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,319 was already made to heal very quickly, and I heal 447 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,640 really quickly. I rarely scar so and most people can't 448 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,440 even see my scar my face here from the dog 449 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,359 bite when I was five years old. And uh so, anyway, 450 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,359 I'm a lucky guy. So anyway, so that's the the 451 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,519 solution of fourth slies. That so anyway, I do have 452 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:01,200 two surgeons coming up. Anal glands. Anal glands are problem 453 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,079 I'm sure all of you have dogs that have had 454 00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:05,880 their anal glands squeeze, but this dog needs it like 455 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,480 every week. It's getting very frustrated for the owners. And 456 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,200 there's a solution in that is an to remove the 457 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,240 anal glands. The surgery in the hands of someone who 458 00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:18,279 knows what they're doing and how they're doing it is 459 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,319 fairly routine. But I got to tell you if your 460 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,759 veterinarian does not do or has not done a number 461 00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:26,839 of these have it done by a surgeon because the 462 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,519 anal wreck the recti muscles that circle the anal gland 463 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,799 are sitting right under the anal glands. If you cut 464 00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:38,279 too deep removing that anal gland, and you cut those muscles, 465 00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:41,119 then you have an anus that cannot open and close 466 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,799 and guess what happens. You can imagine what happens. Proop 467 00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:46,160 has following out. Whatever gets there, it's no way to 468 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,200 the dog can control it. So it's a delicate. It's 469 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,039 like a thyroid surgery. When I do thyroidectomies, when I 470 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:56,240 have thyroid cancer patients. You know it's it's really not 471 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,400 that difficult, but you have to know what you're doing, 472 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,000 and it's very very delicate because the thigway plan is 473 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,559 saying usually right on top of a vegel nerve, right 474 00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:06,960 on top of the jugular vein. I have pictures when 475 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,160 I'm removing a thighways of showing the vein right there, 476 00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,640 and it's, you know, it's a pretty you know that, 477 00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,920 it's it's a jugulars it's a big vein, and it's 478 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,799 sitting right there. In fact, if you hold your neck 479 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,640 you can see it pop up. That's exactly sitting right 480 00:26:22,759 --> 00:26:26,039 under a thighroid gland. So again, as long as you 481 00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:28,519 have your if your vet has experience doing it, then 482 00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:30,519 go by all means, go for it. If not, have 483 00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:34,920 it referred. But it is a good surgery, and so 484 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,039 that's a that's a good one. And then the next 485 00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:39,200 thing I'm doing is called a colo PEXI I think 486 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,680 I'm doing this one tomorrow. So this dog is a 487 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,839 French bulldog. It happens a lot of times in fronties 488 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:47,079 pugs for some reason, these short faced dogs. And what 489 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,480 happens is they they're when they they're anal tissue. Their 490 00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:56,039 colon actually is called the rectal prolapse, where the inside 491 00:26:56,079 --> 00:26:58,839 of the colon it's almost like they're pushing so hard 492 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,400 to poop that the tissue from within the colon actually 493 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,960 pops out and it protrudes out. It's ugly. Usually you 494 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,319 can stuff it back in with your finger, a glove finger, 495 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,200 of course, and you do. It's called the purse string 496 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,079 suture you put around it where you close the gap 497 00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:18,680 so it's only small enough for soft school stools to 498 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,640 come through. Leave it in for three weeks. Sometimes you 499 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,079 check it every week, and when it's everything state in 500 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:27,480 place for that long, you can roove the future. Hopefully 501 00:27:27,519 --> 00:27:29,720 you'll be good. I've had it. Usually sometimes I have 502 00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:32,160 to do twice. Well I've already done three times on 503 00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:34,960 this dog, and I said, if it happens again, then 504 00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:37,680 we're gonna have to do the colon PEXI. So now 505 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,319 it's a surgery, but we have to go in. We 506 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,079 have to literally pull the colon a proximately forward until 507 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:50,400 it reduces the prolapsed tissue, and then we tack the 508 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,079 actual colon to the body wall so now it can't 509 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,680 push it out. And it's again not a fun procedure, 510 00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:02,920 but it's a very active. So that's I think one 511 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,319 of my things I'm doing tomorrow. All right, More and 512 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,200 more waving yes, yes, yes, map Toomey. Hello, guys. Well 513 00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:13,880 I'm fine, Christina. Just you know it would look apparently 514 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,480 look worse than it felt because my texture all was saying, oh, 515 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,240 you probably have to go get stitches. No, no, it's okay, 516 00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:23,279 I'm good, I'm good, all right. I think I think 517 00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:26,279 I waved everybody all right. So as far as forth 518 00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:29,559 of July, I hope your dogs either do well already 519 00:28:29,599 --> 00:28:33,559 as mine do, or you're prepared to get some medication 520 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,279 if you need it, try to do it, but certainly 521 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,440 the quiet room, TV on, music on, whatever the case 522 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,279 may be, windows closed, and good food, good treats, and 523 00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:47,480 try to distract them. What you don't want to do, 524 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:50,079 and I hate to sound mean, what you don't want 525 00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:53,000 to do is coddle them too much, because that is 526 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:55,599 just going to reinforce the behavior. You're better off just 527 00:28:56,079 --> 00:28:58,160 let it be by the side, make them as comfortable 528 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,920 as you can if you have to, you know doing it. 529 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,839 And also if you are, like many, going to to 530 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,480 have that family fourth July barbecue as many of us do, again, 531 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,559 make sure fatty foods, raw onions, corn on the cob, 532 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:19,279 stay away from corn cobs. Okay, that is really really 533 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:24,160 potentially dangerous. Speaking about intestinal surgery, there's one that's almost 534 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,240 a gimme. If that dog, I don't care how big 535 00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:29,759 a dog swallows that corn cob in that piece, quarter 536 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,839 or half or whatever you cut. However you cut your 537 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,720 corn on the cob, that is going to be a 538 00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:39,359 potential disaster. I can't tell you, over my forty plus 539 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,960 years of doing this, how many corn cob surgerys have 540 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:46,000 had to done. All A lot, unfortunately too many. So 541 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,680 and there's there's really no way around it. There's no 542 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,079 way that cob is getting through the elos Coo Cola junction, 543 00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:55,559 and oftentimes it even gets stuck way before that, So 544 00:29:56,039 --> 00:29:58,799 be really careful. And again, they love the meat, so 545 00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:01,240 make sure that you don't. If you're gonna give them 546 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,119 a little food from the barbecue, make sure it's not 547 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,759 it's lean, not that fatty and boat. If you're gonna 548 00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:11,799 do steaks, keep the bones away. No steak bones in general, 549 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,319 they're too hard. They're gonna get the marrow out. Marrow 550 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:18,319 is too fatty. Avocado, you're gonna make it a dip, Okay, 551 00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:19,640 if you're gonna make it a you know, a good 552 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,279 guacamole dip. Again, Avocado a little bit is fine, remember 553 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:26,680 the food avaderm. But too much is gonna cause pancretitis. 554 00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:29,839 Things that are really fatty are potentially dangerous. And of 555 00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:33,240 course if you have a big dog that loves and 556 00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:36,279 jumps up on a counter, if you're not watching them, 557 00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:38,680 they'll jump up on the grill and then you got 558 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,200 a burnt nose, burnt feet, whatever it is. You just 559 00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:45,079 just watch them. Keep it and again, what you're throwing away, 560 00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:47,400 make sure it's way out of reach for a dog, 561 00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:52,200 because your garbage, right is their dinner. They they love it, 562 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,480 that's their feast. So you gotta be really careful again, okay, 563 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,200 so correct Yeah. Oh, if it's cook steak or chicken 564 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,759 and lean your cut the fat off keys, absolutely fine. 565 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,839 No skin chicken, chicken skin. And but but again sometimes 566 00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:07,960 if they're seasoning a lot of times before you put 567 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,680 the steak, you got the lowries, you got them whatever 568 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,240 you're seasoning it with, that may be too much for them. 569 00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,759 So if you want to, if you're anticipating getting your 570 00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:18,480 dog some of your hamburger, some make sure it's pure 571 00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:23,440 meat on the grill. No, uh not not highly seasoned 572 00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:27,079 and okay, And so for all of you, have a 573 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:30,759 great week, have a wonderful Fourth of July. Keep your 574 00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:33,920 dogs safe and of course your cat. For some reason, 575 00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:36,599 I don't like cats, don't standing dollar and anyway, maybe 576 00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:38,359 because they're into only then you know what the sound is. 577 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,720 Then they don't come to you for cuddling anyway. So 578 00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:45,680 and other than that, we will see you here next Sunday, 579 00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,640 the same bat time, the same back channel here on 580 00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:51,920 pet Life Radio, here on Instagram.
