Speaker 1: This is pet Life Radio.
Speaker 2: Let's talk pets.
Speaker 3: And we are live here on pet Life Radio and
we are.
Speaker 2: Just firing up as well on my Instagram live. The
followers are being told that we are live here, here
for you, here for your past. You know the drill,
very simple stuff. You want to get a hold of me,
you want to ask questions, then just you're going to
reach out to me here right on the pet Life
Radio or on Instagram. Just type away. I'm waving good morning,
good morning, Hello, deb How you doing, Sharon? How's everything okay?
So of course we want your questions. I will hope
everybody had a great week, so we obviously will wait
util we get some more people on. We want to
talk about this coming weekend and usually barbecues, so any issues.
One of the things we want to talk about, obviously
is safety. Here it is you know, wherever you have
these holiday weekends. We know whether it's going to be
Memorial Day, Labor Day, fourth of July, you name it,
there's gonna be barbecues and that which is great love
everybody getting together, good morning, good morning. But some just
simple basics to remember as far as the barbecuing, the holiday.
Number one, you know, one of the most common problems
that we see, it's not getting a hold of the meat,
jumping up on the grill, maybe burning a paw. That happens.
But one of the most dangerous things is the one
that you don't even think is a problem, and that
is the corn cob, the illustrious corn cobs. What happens is,
first of all, you cut them in sometimes quarters, half's thirds,
and you're at a piece this big, and then you
eat all the corn away, No problem, easy, right, it's good.
And what do you do with the cop it's tossed
in the trash. Well, let me tell you something that
that little cop that little thing, it could be potentially
one of the most expensive corn cobs you'll ever buy,
because when that thing lodges in a dog's intestine and
it's going to only one where to get rid of it.
I mean, sometimes to be lucky, if they actually crumple
it up into smaller pieces, they might be able to
vomit it up, which is fine, but usually they don't.
That thing goes into the stomach, they swallow it whole.
It gets into the stomach. Then from the stomach it
gets into the stomach into the intestine. So it's kind
of caring through, owing through the intestine, and all of
a sudden at one point that intestine gets really thin
and that corn cob gets stuck. Then it's a disaster.
Not only not only is it just sometimes if you
get through it right away, it's what's called an enterotomy.
Enterotomy is when you have to cut into the intestine
and open up. You remove what's in there, easy pasy,
a couple of stitches, you're dye. But if it's been
there for a long time, maybe if it's in there
for a long time, then what happens is it literally
destroys the blood supply and you have to actually do
what it is called a resection and an astymosis. You
have to remove a piece of the bowel the intestine,
and then you have to sew the two fresh ends together,
which technically is not a challenging procedure, But what you
can't tell is how much the damage was done to
the intestines, to the blood supply, and sometimes those suitors
you put in don't hold. Then you get an intestine
that opens up. It is major disaster. So with any
foreign body, it's very very important to just kind of
evaluate the blood supply to the portion of the intestine
that was affected. And it is tough sometimes when you
get because wondering if there's any natural remedies for yeast
between my dog's fingers, I assume toes keeps slicking at times. Odor,
thank you. So as far as natural remedies, I know
they say that vinegar and water might help kill some
of the yeast, but there are I don't know about
natural that. There's some very safe sprays that you can
use that have ketoconazole, that have flu connaisole like or
the combination sprays. I have one that is called Derma Mist,
but things like dukes, so there are Look, there are
a lot of great ones out there. You want to
look for something that contains both a anti fungal and
also an a anti inflamma antibacteria but one thing, and
sometimes have an anti inflammatory of the cortosome built in
as well. What you got to be careful is when
you are putting anything topical onto a dog. All right,
their natural inclination dogs lick and they will start licking
what you just put on them. So if you're going
to put something on a dog as a medication to
help stop the yeast, whether it's in the ears, whether
it's in the feet, the pads, whatever. You then want
to put a collar on, you know, a cone, something
that does not allow them to lick the spots that
you just put it for two reasons. Number one, a
lot of this stuff it may be great topically, but
not good if it taken internally. And number two, which
is actually even more important, is that it's not going
to work. I always say this to people. You get
it sometimes it is so funny when you put it
into terms that you can understand. So, for example, you
have a little sore, Okay, simple, not serious. So what
do you put on it? You put on it triple
antibotic appointment on neosporn a poly's born and be purious
or whatever. You put on a little antibouticppointment. Now if
you rub that on and then immediately wiped it off,
what's point How good is it going to do? So
when you put something onto a dog and you don't
prevent them, they're gonna lick it right off, and then
not only was it may not be good for them.
I mean some of the basic these things are not dangerous. Honestly, petroleum,
they can handle that, and of course the antibotic antifungle
they can handle that as well. But as far as effectiveness,
it's not going to be effective, so it's not worth it.
So if you're going to put something, anything topical onto
a dog or a cat, you need to make sure
that they can't get to it. And another trick is,
you know a lot of times people where do they
apply these topicals. They apply it right before they go
to bed. Well two days what again, you think the
dog is really gonna not lick while you're a sleeping
of course they are. In fact, they're gonna probably lick
more likely when you're not there to say, hey, now
was here? Cut it out? So the worst time to
put anything on top of the dog is before you
go to bed, unless, of course you're gonna have the colon,
the collar on, or you wrap it, you put a
sock on, something to prevent the licking. So keep that
in mind. All right, JB, how are you doing? Josh?
Good to see you. How's the up pup? Troy? You're
gonna let me know where's the yeast coming from? It's
it's a food environment. Well again, not an easy answer.
So basically there is yeast and the bacteria. Like let's
take an ear for example, there are normal bacteria, normal yeast,
and the bacteria in the YaST sort of keep each
other in check. And when one overpowers the other one,
usually in ears, the yeast overpowers the bacteria, you will
get that's ray. The more common infection is called Malaicesia,
and that's a yeast that's the one that usually that's
not that really thick black stuff that you clean out
of an animal's ear and you see it and sometimes
as you're cleaning it are scratching. That's usually a Malaicesi infection. However,
if it's like a more of a brownish yellowish mucasi
stuff that might be pseudomonous, that might bacterial. And there's
a beta hemolytics strips strips that you can also get
from the ears. So that's when you want to use
a combo. You want to clean the ears really well. Now,
as far as the feet, what are yeast like, yeast
like moisture and dark? Ah, Well, let's look at a foot.
First of all, what part of a dog's body sweats?
Only two parts of a dog's body sweats, like are
has a crime sweat glands, and do they sweat under
the arms Nope, groin nope. You know what they are.
If you look at a dog's body, there are two
parts of the body that look exactly alike to each other,
but are unique to those two parts. Nowhere else in
the body has this kind of tissue. Guesses anybody, I'm
sure you know. Pads and nose, those are the only
twope areas that sweat. Well, So you look at your
foot and where yeast infection probably happen. You see using
in the feet in between the toes. So first of all,
the moisture is there because the sweat. Secondly, how much
light gets in between those toes? Not much, so it's dark,
it's moist Oh my god, that's a perfect environment. Then
then to add to the moisture, what do dogs do
when they have this on their feet? They lick their feet.
Oh now they got saliva adding on to that. I mean,
it's it's a disaster waiting to happen. So interestingly, why
one of the products that I like to use, there's
a product that I love, actually love it, and it
is called Neo predef powder. It is a powder that
you can for the yeast usually won't go I mean,
you can wash clean it well, but it usually won't
go away in its own. So I recommend either, like
I said, kind of a dermamist, a duke Sho type
spray that has chloroexidine, or some sort of benzo peroxide.
So these are the things, benzilconi and chloride, these are
all things that help our antibacterial. Then then you also
want to use an anti fungal, whether it's my conosol,
fle fluke, keticon is all. Even something is as good
as as an athlete's foot spray would be helpful, look
for like a lama cell. So there are a lot
of products out there that are great. Again, you got
to keep it, make sure they don't lick and but
I mean, if you're clean it up well, will it
go away on its own. I would use something that
is anti fungal, but for yeasts, it's gonna be one
of the anti fungals that's available. The product themself is
often available over the counter, and then you want to
keep them area really clean. But again most importantly, you
gotta keep the dog away from it. So do your
best that come up, break something up, and don't do
it before you go to bed because you know what's
gonna happen. Eluis good morning, Dan. How you doing? Is
your dog's always dries for something wrong? That's a really
good question. Oh the powder, the powder neo pread efforts.
It's so fantastic. First of all, it's drying, which is
what we need. It's antibacterial, it's anti fungal, it's anti inflammatory,
and it has a little like a lumming nidacane in it.
So lydacane is like a novacane dentist puts in your mouth,
so it covers everything. But again, you got to put
it on hundred couple of times a day, and that
is prescriptions. You got to find it from your veterinaria. Now,
dog's nose always dry is something wrong? So let's put
this way. A dog who is pretty sick will most
likely have a dry nose. But a dry nose does
it mean that they're going to be sick? Think of logic. Okay,
if the dog is sick, the nose will be dry.
But the only thing that's not is called the contralateral,
which you have to put it. You switch it is
the converse the inverse, So the inverse the converse would be.
If a dog is not sick, the nose would not
be dry. That's not true. If the nose is dry,
then the dog is sick. That's not true, but the
one is not. If the dog is not sick, okay,
then the nose will probably not be dry. I figure
I have to remember how to do that. But there's
an inverse, a converse in a contralateral. Contralateral is the
only truth. If there's an if, then the contralater is true.
If it's not, then then it's not if. So play
with it. You'll see what I mean. If my sister
is there, she's out there. She's a logician, so that
is the only thing that's real. So if your dog
is well, it could still have a dry nose. If
a dog is sick, it probably will. I will have
a dry nose, so, but not a dry nose doesn't
necessarily mean it's sick. So anyway, that's why you have this,
So don't go by that alone. You can have dogs
that are run around, fine, Remember they sweat. If they're
not sweating then or they're dehydrated, you're not going to
have a wet nose. But doesn't mean the dog is sick. Okay,
d Can we dip their feet in hydrop prooxide and
clean the feet then wash and dry, I mean hydroperoxide.
It's a good question. It probably will help these. Hydroprooxide,
for example, is fallen out of one thing. Let's go
back to wounds. One thing you don't want to put
on an open wound or deep scrats it's bleeding is alcohol.
Alcohol is great for dry or intact skin, and it's
really good. It's got answer back to your it's a
good cleanser. That's why when we do when we prep
for surgery, usually the last thing we do is put alcohol.
But if there is any break in the skin, if
there's any bleeding, there's any irritation, you do not want
to use alcohol. What we used to use the clean
wounds is peroxide, and now that has fallen out of favor.
It bubbles up, you think it's great. So my recommendation
is again, if if the skin is intact and doing
to clean it, that's probably gonna be fine. Maybe I've
heard vinegar and water dilution. Diluted vinegar is also good
for yeast. But whatever you do, you want to use
after you do that, definitely you want to wash and dry.
That's important. So sometimes you know, the best soap that
you can use just to clean the dog's up clean
a wound is going to be some like a nova
sand shamp soap. You know, it's interesting when I have
you ride my shoulder surgery, they got me. I went
to the I had to go to one of the
drug stores and get chlorhexidine soap and that you'll let
it sit and that is going to kill bacteria. That's
good if you just want to a good cleansing agent
that is not going to interfere with the dog's own
pH of the skin and that his cat darn Paul
molive or dawn dishwashing, so that they say, is it's safe.
It's really the best thing just to clean the dog up.
So you might want to get that. It's even safer
for pets rap or more tolerable to a pet than
baby shampoo. Just to put into perspective. All right, baking
soda and dirty Frene brush up. Yes, baking soda fine. First,
you know, baking soda is good because again it's going
to have that drying effect, so you want to brush
it out. And as long as that they know they
will do fine. If they don't want to help again,
they look a bit a little baking soda. It's not
the end of the world, all right, Steve, how you
doing cat snippers? Hello? So anyway, it's halfway past the show.
We want to come back. I want to talk about
two things. I want to talk about insurance, and I
want to talk about, basically, emergencies. I can't tell you
how much you and anyone is spending on your pet
for emergencies unnecessarily, because I will tell you from experience,
ninety percent even maybe even higher, of emergencies are not.
So don't go away with back up these messages, and
we'll give you some hints of what you can do
if you have what you think is an emergency when
we read back.

Speaker 4: Let's talk Pat Let's headline radio Atlin Radio dot com.
Speaker 2: We're about live here, I've got live Radio two had
a great question, so all on a second, let me
go back to that one, and that is how often
should we do a senior panel? You know, it depends
on the dog with the cat, depends on them on
how senior, the old or older. It would not be
a bad idea to do it twice a year. As
I just said, my got you know, blindsided by my
cat who had bloods nine weeks earlier that were perfect.
Then all of a sudden, nine weeks later, he's we
had to put him to sleep for kidney lymphoma, a
metastasized to the chest plural diffusion, meaning his his plural
his chest cavity was full of cancer fluid. I mean
this is nine weeks it's crazy. So yes. Then the
next thing was it's yes cohexcidian is great. Now my
cat has been on Banessa and Ipan. THAT'SI is a
type of steroid. It's great IBD inflammaturbial disease every other day,
so you know, if the cat's doing fine, what I
would try to do is now go every third day
when you get to colambia cell, which is leukearan, which
is also good, but that's more for if their IBD
was like partly lymphoma, which by the way, it could
be you know, many many IBDs. When these cats are
either finally get a biopsy or finally put to sleep
or pass it turns out they did have low grade lymphoma,
So colambia cell is a strong possibility. It could be
a daily or every other day medication. It's two milligram,
very effective. But my feeling is this cats tolerates steroids
very well and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
So I wouldn't change. If the cat's doing well, then
I sort of got read with a third day. See
how that works for a while. If that doesn't work,
and I'm sure you're monitor sturing this cat with blood work,
if the deliver, if everything is fine all right, no
evidence of liver damage or issues because of the prolonged
use of butudetiminite, then I would continue. And if you
can get to every third day, that's even better. I
wouldn't switch unless there was a reason to switch. Here
are the reasons. Number one, the pet's not talling here anymore,
not doing well. Number Two, on the blood test you
see elevated liver enzymes, et cetera. And now you're looking
for an alternative, then yes, you can try colerambia cell.
But I would not switch the colarambia cell unless there
was a good reason to it, because because for a cat,
the bunesinide is probably safer than the colerambia cell. My opinion.
Blood test to detect cancer, oh boy, the answer really
is if the If the cancer is a blood born
cancer like a leukemia, then the answer is yes. And
you can see you'll have either very high very low.
If there's certain cells going on in the bone marrow
and everything is we're called pan sided penia, where everything
is low red cells, white cells, then you might you
obviously have something going on, could be severe infection. Burg
also could be a cancer, and you gotta get a
bone marrow sample, and you gotta do a whole bunch
of stuff. Now, unfortunately there's no specific test. However, if
you run a blood test and there's a particular organ
that is way out of whack, a pancreatic enzyme, a
liver enzyme, kidney enzyme. Then that could be because of
a cancer. It could be other things too, it could
be just pure disease. So but anyway, you have to
keep that in mind, so it will give you at
least a clue that there is something wrong with that organ.
And further testing is necessary, whether it's going to be ultrasound,
some sort of scam like a CT or an MRI.
Samples we can do, you know, without doing a biopsy.
You can also start with some of these organs under ultrasound.
Guide is doing asatology. So you do an aspirit, send
it to the lab. That might give you an answer.
And it's way less evasive than cutting open and taking
out a chunk whatever it is. And sometimes if you're
gonna open something up to remove it and that you
at least you'll see then is how extensive really is.
So I'm not sure that I would rely on a
blood test to identify yes cancer. When we had Ali
in and he had you know, obviously the X ray
showed huge kidneys. We did an ultra sound, there was
definitely problem with the kidneys. We were able to do
an aspirt and that gave us our answer. So it
wasn't the blood test that diagnosed it, but it did
sort of indicate a problem. And then went from there. Okay,
Jan Interns Company recommend. All right, boy, we're gonna get
to that. This is a very very important topic, and
I promise I would talk about it. Steve May, Oh
my god, hello hello, what causes dogs to OEt? Crass? Boy?
That is well back then the sixty four thousand dollars question.
Now it's about a ten million dollar question. But anyway,
and that is we don't know. So their theories are that,
first of all, grass is eat. It is moist It
gives them a little moisture, and they like it, and
they don't know that twenty minutes, half hour, an hour
later they might vomit from it. And how do we
know this is there something called aversion therapy. If you
give a dog something that immediately makes a vomit, they
will usually avoid it again. But if you give them
something they makes them vomit a half hour or more later,
they don't make the association. So if they liked it
when they ate it, they're gonna eat it. Again, that's grass,
so that's number one. Number two? Does it actually soothe
the stomach? Do they know it's gonna make them vomit
and that's why they ate it? I don't think so.
I mean, dog, they are really smart. But again, if
they knew it was gonna make them vomit, then they
probably wouldn't eat in the first place. Unless does a
dog really know that because they have an up to
the stomach, they want to vomit. Therefore I'm gonna eat grass.
I mean, look, I think they're amazing. We all do.
We wouldn't love them so much if they weren't amazing.
But are they that amazing that they know that it's
gonna make them vomit later, therefore they do it. I
have a tough time with that one. I love your
theories because it's just a theory. There's nowhere in a
book I found that says they're eating grass, because whatever
it is, it's conjecture a hard ware. I'm be feeding
a young feral cat three months now, I feed twice
a day, cannon dry and something in on vegas. Licing
its coat is much improved, but it doesn't seem to
be gaining weight. So yeah, I mean, continue doing you're doing.
Maybe if you can feed a little bit more. If
it's a young cat, it's unlike the hyperthyrowhites. I wouldn't
even worry about that yet. Maybe just give it time. Also,
if it's a stray, if it's feral, it's probably running
around like crazy, so maybe it just needs more calories.
And it sounds like you're feeding good food. So just
very lean, keep feeding it. Maybe add a little bit more,
all right, better than a vibes that you're doing. Okay,
there was another question. I wanted to get to insurance,
all right from Jan okay, pet insurance companies. I'm going
to talk about insurance. Now, understand, this is my opinion.
This is not textbook. It comes from forty plus years
of experience, and here's my take to me. Insurance companies
are like Las Vegas casino. Now, who wins in Vegas?
The house or the player?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: The house? Now, I'm sure you may have had a
good weekend. I'm sure there are many people you know
that had a really good week whatever they say, oh
my god, I wasn't farth out the dollar five grant,
whatever that could happen is that the norm or is
that the accept Well, if you look at the casino,
you walk in with the ambiance, the lights, the keeping,
the acts of the air condition on, and the staff
walking around. I mean that vibe is what people are
going for, not necessarily the winning and mostly the houses win.
The house is going to win. So what happens with
the insurance? So you're paying a premium, which, by the way,
the premiums have gone nuts. A nationwide, for example, has
doubled their premiums. And then you have to listen. They
are looking for ways not not to pay out, whether
it's congenital, whether it's pre existing. I mean, I'll give
you an example, and I'm only that cool. I am
gonna be calling this company because I am really peeved.
And that is this. The owner comes in with the
complaint of a young dog. Now, how much do you
know looking at a dog, whether it's a problem or not.
So she was concerned that maybe there was something wrong
with the eyes. She doesn't know, maybe it was a
little discharge. Man, who knows. I checked the dog out
and I say, I write up the eyes. There's nothing
wrong with these eyes. Okay. She gets a letter, Not
because the doctor said, because she thought maybe there's someone
wozes that we're not. Your eyes are excluded any eye problem?
Are you nuts? So this is what's going on in
the industry. Now. They're taking your money. And they took
your money every month, and sometimes it was one hundred
bucks a month. Now I think they should und it
up to two hundred and something dollars a month, okay.
And they are taking your money to them. You are
giving your handing them over money. And what are they
doing with that money is it's just sitting in a
bank account somewhere. No, they're taking your money and your
money and your money and they're getting thousands upons dollars
a month and they're investing it and they're making money
on your money. Something you can do. They're making money
on your money. So when they have that payout that
lucky guy that like, you know, want a jackpot or
or great you know at the tables, just you know,
want a bunch of hands and walk good money. They're
not even giving you your money you spent. They're using money.
They're paying you back for that eight thousand or ten
thousand dollars internet bill money that they made off of
you and everybody else's money, so it doesn't touch them.
So they're walking away smiling, and you are out because
you most of the times, most of the time, you're
not gonna get back from the insurance company what you've
put in. So my solution, and this is just a recommendation,
is you open up accounts in Bowser's name, and every month,
every month, religiously automatic, you put money away in that,
do an interest bearing savings account. And if it builds
up a little bit and you have a good solid investment,
to get back five percent invest but not in your money. No,
it's Bowser's money. You're just making money for him. And
then if that up time comes after five years, you
got you know, ten thousand five Me. See, if you're
putting in twenty five much of a year, after five years,
you got ten grand. So if you need something to
put away, all right, So you know, again two hundred
bucks a month so times twelve months is right, is
twenty four hundred dollars And after five years you got
a lot of money put away. So and again if
it's making a little money at the same time, that's
okay too. So when you need that big event, that
foreign body that hit by car, that dog fight, that money,
you're going to use the money that you've put away
for him for that in his account. So I have
had more clients tell me they're not going to renew
or lamenting over the fact that the insurance premiums have
gotten out of control. So I'm just sharing that with you.
So from most of my clients that have insurance, now,
I've had some like the winner in Vegas coming to
something like, oh, oh, I love it. You know last time
my dog got super sick with four thousand and five
thousand dollars, they paid eighty percent of it. Well, great,
you're a lucky one. You should go to Vegas. But
most of the time you're going to be saying, why
they're taking my money and they're not doing anything. And
especially when you look at what for example, example, a
dog as a puppy has a wart, let's say an
oral papoloma, very common in puppies. It goes away or
we have to remove it, we do it, whatever it is.
You realize that every skin mass for the rest of
its life, they're not going to cover. They are going
to look for every darn excuse not to pay out.
And this is why I do not like them. I'm
not a fan. I hope that I made that strong enough.
It's not how I feel. All right, next case, Oh so,
why don't you come back to at me? Tell me
your experience. How many times have you been paid out?
How many times they have rejected your claim? I'm just
curious to know. Now, that's a good question. Maybe there
are parasites if you can catch a fe eo on
this cat. Now, usually the kind of tape worm, for example,
cats and dogs have is not the dreaded kind of
caucus that have in Africa and robs the body of nutrition.
It's more of an unsightly thing. But anyway, yes, you
could probably add a de warmer to the food. Sam
is every we payble can't collect auto home exactly, Thanks Sharon,
It's true, all right, hippos hello ah, all right, Beth,
and they thank you. I'm glad no I does, because
it's it's a problem, and I just hate seeing people
do it. Fortunate. That's why dear really own my dogs anything.
As they get older, they need more. Yes, I mean
for sure, again it's better than you. Eighty percent of
them raise their yo. I know, Jan, it's been crazy
some of these companies, he were true, Panion nationwide, all
of them. If that's first to it, whatever it is,
they are raising premiums like crazy. Okay, pet Life radio,
how you doing good? What else? All right? So the
last thing I wanted to talk about real quick. You
know what, maybe we'll save it because we're out of time.
Reason why a bank account works better than I said.
You have five dogs, as we got to use your
bank account for any of them. That's true, that's true.
Good point. Also, if you put money away for every
one of them, you can use it for insurance. You
have to have a separate policy for each animal. Okay,
here you insurance? Nickelodymy with euthanasia right at the Anian
Press's death was it is? It's help again. I'm sure
that if we let this become an open forum, which
I'd love to do, you're gonna find more negatives by
far than positives. And that's what I found. That's why
I'm saying this is not just me, this is forty
years behind me and listening to clients lamenting and complaints
about their insurance now problems. That's why I'm saying I
recommend it. There's another reason think about this one. By
the way, all right, three percent of pets in the
United States are insured. Yet every darn year there's new two,
three or four new insurance companies popping up. All right, now,
if only three percent, how come you're getting more? You
know why? Because each one is making money. They're making
money on you. So the newer insurance company saying, wow,
look look at them, let's clean up, let's let's join
the party here. So that tells you right there, if
it got to the point where it was so fair
and everybody was loving it and making great comment and
telling their friends. Like in Sweden, fifty and fifty percent
of pets are insured because insurance companies they're paying out
properly and they're not nickling dimy to death and they're
not looking for excuses not to pay. So anyway, yeah,
here's no they raised twenty dollars more a month because
he's considered a senior at six years of age. Heck,
at six years, I'm not even recommending annual blood test unless,
of course the animal is sick and needs a procedure,
but just to do it because I'm coming in. That's
like a person who's forty healthy as can be going
into again. This is just me. But I didn't start
going about this, you know, going in my kolenoscopies and
all that until I was in my fifties. And now
he wants to actually say I just had one when
I was seventy, and he wants to do it only
now every ten years because I've been clean for all
the w as I did before. So less is more,
and yet the insurance companies they're pushing for more and
more and more. I just don't get it all right,
So as far as well, we're gonna talk about tell
themedicine because I was not secondly on my list emergencies.
How do we determine? How do we tell it? If
my problem going on right now is really an emergency
and you don't know. So when you call your office
late at night after they close and you get this, HI,
thanks for calling so Antal hospital, the office is closed.
If you have an emergency, go to X y Z
Animal Emergency Center. So what are you gonna do? Are
you gonna sit home and wait? No, you're gonna go
as you should. But once you get there, do you
think that emergency clinician who's probably young, has no experience,
has no wisdom. They may have knowledge, they're smart, they
went to bed school, but no, the and they're gonna
they're gonna send you home, missus Smith. I know that
that looks scary. It's not just go home, enjoy your evening,
see your doctor in the morning. Pack. No, they are
going to start doing tests. They don't know what to
test for, so they test for everything. They have not
gotten a good history to really know what the likelihood is.
So really, and this is what you're paying. You're paying
so you're paying three times what you were paid after
you went to your vent. And to know the difference,
you got to got to start using telemedicine. We can
talk a little bit more about that, or find a
doctor who is an idiot as I am, and his concierge,
meaning I get no premium for being concierge like my
regular doctors, but I certainly will try to be there
twenty four to seven. So this is the biggest difference,
and therefore you really need to know. Is there an
alternative to having to run to emergency? Yes, there is,
we'll talk about it next week, all right. Anyway, I
think that's all we have time for. Have a very
safe holiday. Weekend. I remember, keep the food, the corn,
cop the hot hot barbecue away from your pets, or
your pets away from the hot barbecue, and hopefully everybody
be safe and all right, Paul, Oh my god, Hippo,
come in next week. That's a good question. The dogs
that lick their paws excessively, could it be food allergy
or The answer is yes and yes. So I'll give
you some hints how to differentiate if you can. And
I will tell you only about fifteen maybe twenty percent
use a fifteen percent of canine allergies are food related.
But one of the biggest problems we have with rutalogy
is clicking the fee, doing the feed. So how do
we differentiate? What do we do? So we'll talk about
that next week. Please, hip O come on forward next
week and remind me it's his brain. It's used up
no extra space, so I can use the reminder all right,
and have a great week everybody, and we'll see you
next week, same bat time, Sabak channel here on Instagram
