We want to 16 00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:05,840 talk about this coming weekend and usually barbecues, so any issues. 17 00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:07,680 One of the things we want to talk about, obviously 18 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,840 is safety. Here it is you know, wherever you have 19 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,480 these holiday weekends. We know whether it's going to be 20 00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:14,719 Memorial Day, Labor Day, fourth of July, you name it, 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,359 there's gonna be barbecues and that which is great love 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,640 everybody getting together, good morning, good morning. But some just 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,200 simple basics to remember as far as the barbecuing, the holiday. 24 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:28,599 Number one, you know, one of the most common problems 25 00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,760 that we see, it's not getting a hold of the meat, 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,640 jumping up on the grill, maybe burning a paw. That happens. 27 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,079 But one of the most dangerous things is the one 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,480 that you don't even think is a problem, and that 29 00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:42,040 is the corn cob, the illustrious corn cobs. What happens is, 30 00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:45,480 first of all, you cut them in sometimes quarters, half's thirds, 31 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:47,879 and you're at a piece this big, and then you 32 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:50,519 eat all the corn away, No problem, easy, right, it's good. 33 00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:52,519 And what do you do with the cop it's tossed 34 00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:55,519 in the trash. Well, let me tell you something that 35 00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:59,879 that little cop that little thing, it could be potentially 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,480 one of the most expensive corn cobs you'll ever buy, 37 00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:07,480 because when that thing lodges in a dog's intestine and 38 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,000 it's going to only one where to get rid of it. 39 00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,560 I mean, sometimes to be lucky, if they actually crumple 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,120 it up into smaller pieces, they might be able to 41 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,639 vomit it up, which is fine, but usually they don't. 42 00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:21,159 That thing goes into the stomach, they swallow it whole. 43 00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,240 It gets into the stomach. Then from the stomach it 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,800 gets into the stomach into the intestine. So it's kind 45 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,759 of caring through, owing through the intestine, and all of 46 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,919 a sudden at one point that intestine gets really thin 47 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,439 and that corn cob gets stuck. Then it's a disaster. 48 00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:41,280 Not only not only is it just sometimes if you 49 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120 get through it right away, it's what's called an enterotomy. 50 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,639 Enterotomy is when you have to cut into the intestine 51 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:50,199 and open up. You remove what's in there, easy pasy, 52 00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,120 a couple of stitches, you're dye. But if it's been 53 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,280 there for a long time, maybe if it's in there 54 00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,039 for a long time, then what happens is it literally 55 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,360 destroys the blood supply and you have to actually do 56 00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:04,120 what it is called a resection and an astymosis. You 57 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:07,639 have to remove a piece of the bowel the intestine, 58 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120 and then you have to sew the two fresh ends together, 59 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:14,599 which technically is not a challenging procedure, But what you 60 00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:18,879 can't tell is how much the damage was done to 61 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,840 the intestines, to the blood supply, and sometimes those suitors 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,280 you put in don't hold. Then you get an intestine 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,960 that opens up. It is major disaster. So with any 64 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,319 foreign body, it's very very important to just kind of 65 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,439 evaluate the blood supply to the portion of the intestine 66 00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,639 that was affected. And it is tough sometimes when you 67 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,000 get because wondering if there's any natural remedies for yeast 68 00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:44,759 between my dog's fingers, I assume toes keeps slicking at times. Odor, 69 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,199 thank you. So as far as natural remedies, I know 70 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,479 they say that vinegar and water might help kill some 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,199 of the yeast, but there are I don't know about 72 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,280 natural that. There's some very safe sprays that you can 73 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,400 use that have ketoconazole, that have flu connaisole like or 74 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:04,280 the combination sprays. I have one that is called Derma Mist, 75 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:06,960 but things like dukes, so there are Look, there are 76 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,479 a lot of great ones out there. You want to 77 00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:12,639 look for something that contains both a anti fungal and 78 00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:17,040 also an a anti inflamma antibacteria but one thing, and 79 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,360 sometimes have an anti inflammatory of the cortosome built in 80 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,759 as well. What you got to be careful is when 81 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,879 you are putting anything topical onto a dog. All right, 82 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,279 their natural inclination dogs lick and they will start licking 83 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,759 what you just put on them. So if you're going 84 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,639 to put something on a dog as a medication to 85 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:38,879 help stop the yeast, whether it's in the ears, whether 86 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,439 it's in the feet, the pads, whatever. You then want 87 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,800 to put a collar on, you know, a cone, something 88 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,360 that does not allow them to lick the spots that 89 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,040 you just put it for two reasons. Number one, a 90 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,480 lot of this stuff it may be great topically, but 91 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,519 not good if it taken internally. And number two, which 92 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,399 is actually even more important, is that it's not going 93 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,800 to work. I always say this to people. You get 94 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,519 it sometimes it is so funny when you put it 95 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,519 into terms that you can understand. So, for example, you 96 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,759 have a little sore, Okay, simple, not serious. So what 97 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,600 do you put on it? You put on it triple 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,439 antibotic appointment on neosporn a poly's born and be purious 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,079 or whatever. You put on a little antibouticppointment. Now if 100 00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,800 you rub that on and then immediately wiped it off, 101 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,920 what's point How good is it going to do? So 102 00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:24,160 when you put something onto a dog and you don't 103 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,519 prevent them, they're gonna lick it right off, and then 104 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:28,199 not only was it may not be good for them. 105 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,639 I mean some of the basic these things are not dangerous. Honestly, petroleum, 106 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,879 they can handle that, and of course the antibotic antifungle 107 00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,920 they can handle that as well. But as far as effectiveness, 108 00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:40,120 it's not going to be effective, so it's not worth it. 109 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,639 So if you're going to put something, anything topical onto 110 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,639 a dog or a cat, you need to make sure 111 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:49,160 that they can't get to it. And another trick is, 112 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,959 you know a lot of times people where do they 113 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,600 apply these topicals. They apply it right before they go 114 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,600 to bed. Well two days what again, you think the 115 00:05:57,639 --> 00:05:59,839 dog is really gonna not lick while you're a sleeping 116 00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:01,879 of course they are. In fact, they're gonna probably lick 117 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,600 more likely when you're not there to say, hey, now 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,839 was here? Cut it out? So the worst time to 119 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,759 put anything on top of the dog is before you 120 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,879 go to bed, unless, of course you're gonna have the colon, 121 00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:13,720 the collar on, or you wrap it, you put a 122 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,439 sock on, something to prevent the licking. So keep that 123 00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:20,279 in mind. All right, JB, how are you doing? Josh? 124 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,160 Good to see you. How's the up pup? Troy? You're 125 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,920 gonna let me know where's the yeast coming from? It's 126 00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:29,920 it's a food environment. Well again, not an easy answer. 127 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,000 So basically there is yeast and the bacteria. Like let's 128 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,600 take an ear for example, there are normal bacteria, normal yeast, 129 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,560 and the bacteria in the YaST sort of keep each 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,600 other in check. And when one overpowers the other one, 131 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,720 usually in ears, the yeast overpowers the bacteria, you will 132 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:48,879 get that's ray. The more common infection is called Malaicesia, 133 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,399 and that's a yeast that's the one that usually that's 134 00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:54,959 not that really thick black stuff that you clean out 135 00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:57,319 of an animal's ear and you see it and sometimes 136 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:01,720 as you're cleaning it are scratching. That's usually a Malaicesi infection. However, 137 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,000 if it's like a more of a brownish yellowish mucasi 138 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:09,360 stuff that might be pseudomonous, that might bacterial. And there's 139 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,160 a beta hemolytics strips strips that you can also get 140 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,240 from the ears. So that's when you want to use 141 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,759 a combo. You want to clean the ears really well. Now, 142 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,279 as far as the feet, what are yeast like, yeast 143 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,279 like moisture and dark? Ah, Well, let's look at a foot. 144 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,920 First of all, what part of a dog's body sweats? 145 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,639 Only two parts of a dog's body sweats, like are 146 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,439 has a crime sweat glands, and do they sweat under 147 00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,480 the arms Nope, groin nope. You know what they are. 148 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:41,560 If you look at a dog's body, there are two 149 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,800 parts of the body that look exactly alike to each other, 150 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:48,600 but are unique to those two parts. Nowhere else in 151 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:52,439 the body has this kind of tissue. Guesses anybody, I'm 152 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,360 sure you know. Pads and nose, those are the only 153 00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,399 twope areas that sweat. Well, So you look at your 154 00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:02,639 foot and where yeast infection probably happen. You see using 155 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160 in the feet in between the toes. So first of all, 156 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,879 the moisture is there because the sweat. Secondly, how much 157 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,360 light gets in between those toes? Not much, so it's dark, 158 00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:15,680 it's moist Oh my god, that's a perfect environment. Then 159 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040 then to add to the moisture, what do dogs do 160 00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:20,040 when they have this on their feet? They lick their feet. 161 00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:23,120 Oh now they got saliva adding on to that. I mean, 162 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,079 it's it's a disaster waiting to happen. So interestingly, why 163 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,360 one of the products that I like to use, there's 164 00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:32,399 a product that I love, actually love it, and it 165 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,360 is called Neo predef powder. It is a powder that 166 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,200 you can for the yeast usually won't go I mean, 167 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,679 you can wash clean it well, but it usually won't 168 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,519 go away in its own. So I recommend either, like 169 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,320 I said, kind of a dermamist, a duke Sho type 170 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,440 spray that has chloroexidine, or some sort of benzo peroxide. 171 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:53,360 So these are the things, benzilconi and chloride, these are 172 00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:57,120 all things that help our antibacterial. Then then you also 173 00:08:57,159 --> 00:08:59,320 want to use an anti fungal, whether it's my conosol, 174 00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,799 fle fluke, keticon is all. Even something is as good 175 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,879 as as an athlete's foot spray would be helpful, look 176 00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:09,080 for like a lama cell. So there are a lot 177 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,679 of products out there that are great. Again, you got 178 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,879 to keep it, make sure they don't lick and but 179 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,519 I mean, if you're clean it up well, will it 180 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,679 go away on its own. I would use something that 181 00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:22,559 is anti fungal, but for yeasts, it's gonna be one 182 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,799 of the anti fungals that's available. The product themself is 183 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,360 often available over the counter, and then you want to 184 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,080 keep them area really clean. But again most importantly, you 185 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,480 gotta keep the dog away from it. So do your 186 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:36,039 best that come up, break something up, and don't do 187 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,759 it before you go to bed because you know what's 188 00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:41,559 gonna happen. Eluis good morning, Dan. How you doing? Is 189 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,960 your dog's always dries for something wrong? That's a really 190 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,159 good question. Oh the powder, the powder neo pread efforts. 191 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,080 It's so fantastic. First of all, it's drying, which is 192 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,200 what we need. It's antibacterial, it's anti fungal, it's anti inflammatory, 193 00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:56,919 and it has a little like a lumming nidacane in it. 194 00:09:57,039 --> 00:10:01,039 So lydacane is like a novacane dentist puts in your mouth, 195 00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:04,399 so it covers everything. But again, you got to put 196 00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:06,120 it on hundred couple of times a day, and that 197 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,840 is prescriptions. You got to find it from your veterinaria. Now, 198 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,200 dog's nose always dry is something wrong? So let's put 199 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,120 this way. A dog who is pretty sick will most 200 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,360 likely have a dry nose. But a dry nose does 201 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:23,919 it mean that they're going to be sick? Think of logic. Okay, 202 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,960 if the dog is sick, the nose will be dry. 203 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,120 But the only thing that's not is called the contralateral, 204 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,519 which you have to put it. You switch it is 205 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,200 the converse the inverse, So the inverse the converse would be. 206 00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:40,080 If a dog is not sick, the nose would not 207 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,000 be dry. That's not true. If the nose is dry, 208 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,399 then the dog is sick. That's not true, but the 209 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,240 one is not. If the dog is not sick, okay, 210 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,080 then the nose will probably not be dry. I figure 211 00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:55,240 I have to remember how to do that. But there's 212 00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:58,320 an inverse, a converse in a contralateral. Contralateral is the 213 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,840 only truth. If there's an if, then the contralater is true. 214 00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:04,919 If it's not, then then it's not if. So play 215 00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:06,799 with it. You'll see what I mean. If my sister 216 00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:09,200 is there, she's out there. She's a logician, so that 217 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,000 is the only thing that's real. So if your dog 218 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,279 is well, it could still have a dry nose. If 219 00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:19,720 a dog is sick, it probably will. I will have 220 00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:22,759 a dry nose, so, but not a dry nose doesn't 221 00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:25,480 necessarily mean it's sick. So anyway, that's why you have this, 222 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,279 So don't go by that alone. You can have dogs 223 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,759 that are run around, fine, Remember they sweat. If they're 224 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:34,000 not sweating then or they're dehydrated, you're not going to 225 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,519 have a wet nose. But doesn't mean the dog is sick. Okay, 226 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,000 d Can we dip their feet in hydrop prooxide and 227 00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:42,879 clean the feet then wash and dry, I mean hydroperoxide. 228 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,879 It's a good question. It probably will help these. Hydroprooxide, 229 00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:49,240 for example, is fallen out of one thing. Let's go 230 00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:51,159 back to wounds. One thing you don't want to put 231 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,080 on an open wound or deep scrats it's bleeding is alcohol. 232 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,639 Alcohol is great for dry or intact skin, and it's 233 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,679 really good. It's got answer back to your it's a 234 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,679 good cleanser. That's why when we do when we prep 235 00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,320 for surgery, usually the last thing we do is put alcohol. 236 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,840 But if there is any break in the skin, if 237 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,279 there's any bleeding, there's any irritation, you do not want 238 00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:12,360 to use alcohol. What we used to use the clean 239 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,799 wounds is peroxide, and now that has fallen out of favor. 240 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,480 It bubbles up, you think it's great. So my recommendation 241 00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:21,879 is again, if if the skin is intact and doing 242 00:12:21,879 --> 00:12:24,519 to clean it, that's probably gonna be fine. Maybe I've 243 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,000 heard vinegar and water dilution. Diluted vinegar is also good 244 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,360 for yeast. But whatever you do, you want to use 245 00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:35,200 after you do that, definitely you want to wash and dry. 246 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:38,840 That's important. So sometimes you know, the best soap that 247 00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:41,159 you can use just to clean the dog's up clean 248 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,759 a wound is going to be some like a nova 249 00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:47,120 sand shamp soap. You know, it's interesting when I have 250 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,240 you ride my shoulder surgery, they got me. I went 251 00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:50,559 to the I had to go to one of the 252 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,639 drug stores and get chlorhexidine soap and that you'll let 253 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,720 it sit and that is going to kill bacteria. That's 254 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,200 good if you just want to a good cleansing agent 255 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:03,320 that is not going to interfere with the dog's own 256 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,120 pH of the skin and that his cat darn Paul 257 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,519 molive or dawn dishwashing, so that they say, is it's safe. 258 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:13,639 It's really the best thing just to clean the dog up. 259 00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:16,320 So you might want to get that. It's even safer 260 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,879 for pets rap or more tolerable to a pet than 261 00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:22,000 baby shampoo. Just to put into perspective. All right, baking 262 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,480 soda and dirty Frene brush up. Yes, baking soda fine. First, 263 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,879 you know, baking soda is good because again it's going 264 00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:30,200 to have that drying effect, so you want to brush 265 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,799 it out. And as long as that they know they 266 00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:35,840 will do fine. If they don't want to help again, 267 00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:37,759 they look a bit a little baking soda. It's not 268 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:39,919 the end of the world, all right, Steve, how you 269 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,519 doing cat snippers? Hello? So anyway, it's halfway past the show. 270 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,320 We want to come back. I want to talk about 271 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,080 two things. I want to talk about insurance, and I 272 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,120 want to talk about, basically, emergencies. I can't tell you 273 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,519 how much you and anyone is spending on your pet 274 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,720 for emergencies unnecessarily, because I will tell you from experience, 275 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,320 ninety percent even maybe even higher, of emergencies are not. 276 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,279 So don't go away with back up these messages, and 277 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,639 we'll give you some hints of what you can do 278 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,399 if you have what you think is an emergency when 279 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:13,919 we read back. 280 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Take a bite out of your competition, advertise your business 281 00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:24,279 with an ad.

You know, it depends 296 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:28,279 on the dog with the cat, depends on them on 297 00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:31,600 how senior, the old or older. It would not be 298 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:33,399 a bad idea to do it twice a year. As 299 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,000 I just said, my got you know, blindsided by my 300 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,399 cat who had bloods nine weeks earlier that were perfect. 301 00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:43,120 Then all of a sudden, nine weeks later, he's we 302 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:45,960 had to put him to sleep for kidney lymphoma, a 303 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:50,399 metastasized to the chest plural diffusion, meaning his his plural 304 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,440 his chest cavity was full of cancer fluid. I mean 305 00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:57,960 this is nine weeks it's crazy. So yes. Then the 306 00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:02,840 next thing was it's yes cohexcidian is great. Now my 307 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:04,879 cat has been on Banessa and Ipan. THAT'SI is a 308 00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:08,919 type of steroid. It's great IBD inflammaturbial disease every other day, 309 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,960 so you know, if the cat's doing fine, what I 310 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,120 would try to do is now go every third day 311 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,559 when you get to colambia cell, which is leukearan, which 312 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,039 is also good, but that's more for if their IBD 313 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120 was like partly lymphoma, which by the way, it could 314 00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:28,600 be you know, many many IBDs. When these cats are 315 00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:31,600 either finally get a biopsy or finally put to sleep 316 00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:35,320 or pass it turns out they did have low grade lymphoma, 317 00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:39,799 So colambia cell is a strong possibility. It could be 318 00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:42,679 a daily or every other day medication. It's two milligram, 319 00:16:43,039 --> 00:16:47,279 very effective. But my feeling is this cats tolerates steroids 320 00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:50,399 very well and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 321 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:54,200 So I wouldn't change. If the cat's doing well, then 322 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,840 I sort of got read with a third day. See 323 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,200 how that works for a while. If that doesn't work, 324 00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:01,600 and I'm sure you're monitor sturing this cat with blood work, 325 00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:04,920 if the deliver, if everything is fine all right, no 326 00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:10,359 evidence of liver damage or issues because of the prolonged 327 00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:15,480 use of butudetiminite, then I would continue. And if you 328 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:17,599 can get to every third day, that's even better. I 329 00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,960 wouldn't switch unless there was a reason to switch. Here 330 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,400 are the reasons. Number one, the pet's not talling here anymore, 331 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,160 not doing well. Number Two, on the blood test you 332 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,079 see elevated liver enzymes, et cetera. And now you're looking 333 00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:32,640 for an alternative, then yes, you can try colerambia cell. 334 00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:35,119 But I would not switch the colarambia cell unless there 335 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,559 was a good reason to it, because because for a cat, 336 00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:42,640 the bunesinide is probably safer than the colerambia cell. My opinion. 337 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,319 Blood test to detect cancer, oh boy, the answer really 338 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,240 is if the If the cancer is a blood born 339 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,720 cancer like a leukemia, then the answer is yes. And 340 00:17:54,759 --> 00:17:57,480 you can see you'll have either very high very low. 341 00:17:57,799 --> 00:17:59,599 If there's certain cells going on in the bone marrow 342 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,440 and everything is we're called pan sided penia, where everything 343 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:04,640 is low red cells, white cells, then you might you 344 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,079 obviously have something going on, could be severe infection. Burg 345 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,799 also could be a cancer, and you gotta get a 346 00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:10,680 bone marrow sample, and you gotta do a whole bunch 347 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,880 of stuff. Now, unfortunately there's no specific test. However, if 348 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,880 you run a blood test and there's a particular organ 349 00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,279 that is way out of whack, a pancreatic enzyme, a 350 00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:26,920 liver enzyme, kidney enzyme. Then that could be because of 351 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,200 a cancer. It could be other things too, it could 352 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,400 be just pure disease. So but anyway, you have to 353 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,359 keep that in mind, so it will give you at 354 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,920 least a clue that there is something wrong with that organ. 355 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,759 And further testing is necessary, whether it's going to be ultrasound, 356 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,880 some sort of scam like a CT or an MRI. 357 00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:46,720 Samples we can do, you know, without doing a biopsy. 358 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,039 You can also start with some of these organs under ultrasound. 359 00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:54,640 Guide is doing asatology. So you do an aspirit, send 360 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,519 it to the lab. That might give you an answer. 361 00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:59,200 And it's way less evasive than cutting open and taking 362 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,799 out a chunk whatever it is. And sometimes if you're 363 00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:03,920 gonna open something up to remove it and that you 364 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,920 at least you'll see then is how extensive really is. 365 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,920 So I'm not sure that I would rely on a 366 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,640 blood test to identify yes cancer. When we had Ali 367 00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:17,319 in and he had you know, obviously the X ray 368 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,519 showed huge kidneys. We did an ultra sound, there was 369 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,000 definitely problem with the kidneys. We were able to do 370 00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:26,599 an aspirt and that gave us our answer. So it 371 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,559 wasn't the blood test that diagnosed it, but it did 372 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,720 sort of indicate a problem. And then went from there. Okay, 373 00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:37,200 Jan Interns Company recommend. All right, boy, we're gonna get 374 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,720 to that. This is a very very important topic, and 375 00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:41,799 I promise I would talk about it. Steve May, Oh 376 00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:46,480 my god, hello hello, what causes dogs to OEt? Crass? Boy? 377 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,680 That is well back then the sixty four thousand dollars question. 378 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,880 Now it's about a ten million dollar question. But anyway, 379 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,519 and that is we don't know. So their theories are that, 380 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,880 first of all, grass is eat. It is moist It 381 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720 gives them a little moisture, and they like it, and 382 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,519 they don't know that twenty minutes, half hour, an hour 383 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,240 later they might vomit from it. And how do we 384 00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:13,359 know this is there something called aversion therapy. If you 385 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,079 give a dog something that immediately makes a vomit, they 386 00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:19,799 will usually avoid it again. But if you give them 387 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,240 something they makes them vomit a half hour or more later, 388 00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:25,119 they don't make the association. So if they liked it 389 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,200 when they ate it, they're gonna eat it. Again, that's grass, 390 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,400 so that's number one. Number two? Does it actually soothe 391 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,319 the stomach? Do they know it's gonna make them vomit 392 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,920 and that's why they ate it? I don't think so. 393 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,839 I mean, dog, they are really smart. But again, if 394 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:43,920 they knew it was gonna make them vomit, then they 395 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,319 probably wouldn't eat in the first place. Unless does a 396 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,279 dog really know that because they have an up to 397 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:50,519 the stomach, they want to vomit. Therefore I'm gonna eat grass. 398 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,039 I mean, look, I think they're amazing. We all do. 399 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,039 We wouldn't love them so much if they weren't amazing. 400 00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:59,160 But are they that amazing that they know that it's 401 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,319 gonna make them vomit later, therefore they do it. I 402 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,400 have a tough time with that one. I love your 403 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,319 theories because it's just a theory. There's nowhere in a 404 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,240 book I found that says they're eating grass, because whatever 405 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,400 it is, it's conjecture a hard ware. I'm be feeding 406 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,839 a young feral cat three months now, I feed twice 407 00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:16,200 a day, cannon dry and something in on vegas. Licing 408 00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:18,720 its coat is much improved, but it doesn't seem to 409 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,680 be gaining weight. So yeah, I mean, continue doing you're doing. 410 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,640 Maybe if you can feed a little bit more. If 411 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,279 it's a young cat, it's unlike the hyperthyrowhites. I wouldn't 412 00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:29,440 even worry about that yet. Maybe just give it time. Also, 413 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,920 if it's a stray, if it's feral, it's probably running 414 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,200 around like crazy, so maybe it just needs more calories. 415 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,839 And it sounds like you're feeding good food. So just 416 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,400 very lean, keep feeding it. Maybe add a little bit more, 417 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,480 all right, better than a vibes that you're doing. Okay, 418 00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:45,680 there was another question. I wanted to get to insurance, 419 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,519 all right from Jan okay, pet insurance companies. I'm going 420 00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:53,359 to talk about insurance. Now, understand, this is my opinion. 421 00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:57,599 This is not textbook. It comes from forty plus years 422 00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:02,319 of experience, and here's my take to me. Insurance companies 423 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,200 are like Las Vegas casino. Now, who wins in Vegas? 424 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,640 The house or the player? 425 00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: Right? 426 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,839 Speaker 2: The house? Now, I'm sure you may have had a 427 00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:15,319 good weekend. I'm sure there are many people you know 428 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:18,559 that had a really good week whatever they say, oh 429 00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:20,640 my god, I wasn't farth out the dollar five grant, 430 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,480 whatever that could happen is that the norm or is 431 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,799 that the accept Well, if you look at the casino, 432 00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:29,799 you walk in with the ambiance, the lights, the keeping, 433 00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:32,240 the acts of the air condition on, and the staff 434 00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:35,240 walking around. I mean that vibe is what people are 435 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,960 going for, not necessarily the winning and mostly the houses win. 436 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,319 The house is going to win. So what happens with 437 00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:43,440 the insurance? So you're paying a premium, which, by the way, 438 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,640 the premiums have gone nuts. A nationwide, for example, has 439 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,680 doubled their premiums. And then you have to listen. They 440 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,799 are looking for ways not not to pay out, whether 441 00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:57,920 it's congenital, whether it's pre existing. I mean, I'll give 442 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,319 you an example, and I'm only that cool. I am 443 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,000 gonna be calling this company because I am really peeved. 444 00:23:05,319 --> 00:23:07,920 And that is this. The owner comes in with the 445 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,319 complaint of a young dog. Now, how much do you 446 00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:13,839 know looking at a dog, whether it's a problem or not. 447 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,480 So she was concerned that maybe there was something wrong 448 00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:17,880 with the eyes. She doesn't know, maybe it was a 449 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,160 little discharge. Man, who knows. I checked the dog out 450 00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:23,920 and I say, I write up the eyes. There's nothing 451 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,079 wrong with these eyes. Okay. She gets a letter, Not 452 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,359 because the doctor said, because she thought maybe there's someone 453 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,839 wozes that we're not. Your eyes are excluded any eye problem? 454 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,039 Are you nuts? So this is what's going on in 455 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:40,480 the industry. Now. They're taking your money. And they took 456 00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:43,119 your money every month, and sometimes it was one hundred 457 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,720 bucks a month. Now I think they should und it 458 00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:47,000 up to two hundred and something dollars a month, okay. 459 00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:50,839 And they are taking your money to them. You are 460 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,960 giving your handing them over money. And what are they 461 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,359 doing with that money is it's just sitting in a 462 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,559 bank account somewhere. No, they're taking your money and your 463 00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:00,519 money and your money and they're getting thousands upons dollars 464 00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:03,480 a month and they're investing it and they're making money 465 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,279 on your money. Something you can do. They're making money 466 00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:08,319 on your money. So when they have that payout that 467 00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:11,079 lucky guy that like, you know, want a jackpot or 468 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:13,640 or great you know at the tables, just you know, 469 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,920 want a bunch of hands and walk good money. They're 470 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,839 not even giving you your money you spent. They're using money. 471 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:21,160 They're paying you back for that eight thousand or ten 472 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,960 thousand dollars internet bill money that they made off of 473 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,279 you and everybody else's money, so it doesn't touch them. 474 00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:31,079 So they're walking away smiling, and you are out because 475 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,599 you most of the times, most of the time, you're 476 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,440 not gonna get back from the insurance company what you've 477 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,160 put in. So my solution, and this is just a recommendation, 478 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:47,359 is you open up accounts in Bowser's name, and every month, 479 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,480 every month, religiously automatic, you put money away in that, 480 00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:54,640 do an interest bearing savings account. And if it builds 481 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,839 up a little bit and you have a good solid investment, 482 00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:00,079 to get back five percent invest but not in your money. No, 483 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,480 it's Bowser's money. You're just making money for him. And 484 00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:05,720 then if that up time comes after five years, you 485 00:25:05,839 --> 00:25:07,920 got you know, ten thousand five Me. See, if you're 486 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,519 putting in twenty five much of a year, after five years, 487 00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:13,480 you got ten grand. So if you need something to 488 00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:17,480 put away, all right, So you know, again two hundred 489 00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:21,519 bucks a month so times twelve months is right, is 490 00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:24,960 twenty four hundred dollars And after five years you got 491 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,839 a lot of money put away. So and again if 492 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:29,680 it's making a little money at the same time, that's 493 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,720 okay too. So when you need that big event, that 494 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,079 foreign body that hit by car, that dog fight, that money, 495 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,200 you're going to use the money that you've put away 496 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,160 for him for that in his account. So I have 497 00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:47,839 had more clients tell me they're not going to renew 498 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,079 or lamenting over the fact that the insurance premiums have 499 00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:54,839 gotten out of control. So I'm just sharing that with you. 500 00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:59,079 So from most of my clients that have insurance, now, 501 00:25:59,079 --> 00:26:02,160 I've had some like the winner in Vegas coming to 502 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,359 something like, oh, oh, I love it. You know last time 503 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,440 my dog got super sick with four thousand and five 504 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,519 thousand dollars, they paid eighty percent of it. Well, great, 505 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,480 you're a lucky one. You should go to Vegas. But 506 00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:16,519 most of the time you're going to be saying, why 507 00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:18,960 they're taking my money and they're not doing anything. And 508 00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:22,839 especially when you look at what for example, example, a 509 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,880 dog as a puppy has a wart, let's say an 510 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,799 oral papoloma, very common in puppies. It goes away or 511 00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:31,920 we have to remove it, we do it, whatever it is. 512 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,759 You realize that every skin mass for the rest of 513 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:36,799 its life, they're not going to cover. They are going 514 00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:40,759 to look for every darn excuse not to pay out. 515 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,920 And this is why I do not like them. I'm 516 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,400 not a fan. I hope that I made that strong enough. 517 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,440 It's not how I feel. All right, next case, Oh so, 518 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:50,119 why don't you come back to at me? Tell me 519 00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,559 your experience. How many times have you been paid out? 520 00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:55,319 How many times they have rejected your claim? I'm just 521 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,279 curious to know. Now, that's a good question. Maybe there 522 00:26:58,279 --> 00:27:00,920 are parasites if you can catch a fe eo on 523 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,599 this cat. Now, usually the kind of tape worm, for example, 524 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,400 cats and dogs have is not the dreaded kind of 525 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,599 caucus that have in Africa and robs the body of nutrition. 526 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,039 It's more of an unsightly thing. But anyway, yes, you 527 00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:16,119 could probably add a de warmer to the food. Sam 528 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,680 is every we payble can't collect auto home exactly, Thanks Sharon, 529 00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:25,240 It's true, all right, hippos hello ah, all right, Beth, 530 00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:28,759 and they thank you. I'm glad no I does, because 531 00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:31,200 it's it's a problem, and I just hate seeing people 532 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,839 do it. Fortunate. That's why dear really own my dogs anything. 533 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,839 As they get older, they need more. Yes, I mean 534 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,519 for sure, again it's better than you. Eighty percent of 535 00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,160 them raise their yo. I know, Jan, it's been crazy 536 00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,599 some of these companies, he were true, Panion nationwide, all 537 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,240 of them. If that's first to it, whatever it is, 538 00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:51,119 they are raising premiums like crazy. Okay, pet Life radio, 539 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,559 how you doing good? What else? All right? So the 540 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,559 last thing I wanted to talk about real quick. You 541 00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:57,599 know what, maybe we'll save it because we're out of time. 542 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,359 Reason why a bank account works better than I said. 543 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,720 You have five dogs, as we got to use your 544 00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:04,440 bank account for any of them. That's true, that's true. 545 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,079 Good point. Also, if you put money away for every 546 00:28:07,079 --> 00:28:09,680 one of them, you can use it for insurance. You 547 00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:12,319 have to have a separate policy for each animal. Okay, 548 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,640 here you insurance? Nickelodymy with euthanasia right at the Anian 549 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,279 Press's death was it is? It's help again. I'm sure 550 00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:23,559 that if we let this become an open forum, which 551 00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:27,079 I'd love to do, you're gonna find more negatives by 552 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,240 far than positives. And that's what I found. That's why 553 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,000 I'm saying this is not just me, this is forty 554 00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:36,599 years behind me and listening to clients lamenting and complaints 555 00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:39,640 about their insurance now problems. That's why I'm saying I 556 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,039 recommend it. There's another reason think about this one. By 557 00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:46,480 the way, all right, three percent of pets in the 558 00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:51,839 United States are insured. Yet every darn year there's new two, 559 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,839 three or four new insurance companies popping up. All right, now, 560 00:28:55,319 --> 00:28:58,279 if only three percent, how come you're getting more? You 561 00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:01,079 know why? Because each one is making money. They're making 562 00:29:01,119 --> 00:29:03,559 money on you. So the newer insurance company saying, wow, 563 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:06,160 look look at them, let's clean up, let's let's join 564 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,960 the party here. So that tells you right there, if 565 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,039 it got to the point where it was so fair 566 00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:14,160 and everybody was loving it and making great comment and 567 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,640 telling their friends. Like in Sweden, fifty and fifty percent 568 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,359 of pets are insured because insurance companies they're paying out 569 00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:22,839 properly and they're not nickling dimy to death and they're 570 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,200 not looking for excuses not to pay. So anyway, yeah, 571 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,039 here's no they raised twenty dollars more a month because 572 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:32,039 he's considered a senior at six years of age. Heck, 573 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,319 at six years, I'm not even recommending annual blood test unless, 574 00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:38,240 of course the animal is sick and needs a procedure, 575 00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:41,200 but just to do it because I'm coming in. That's 576 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,119 like a person who's forty healthy as can be going 577 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,880 into again. This is just me. But I didn't start 578 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,519 going about this, you know, going in my kolenoscopies and 579 00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:51,799 all that until I was in my fifties. And now 580 00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:53,880 he wants to actually say I just had one when 581 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,880 I was seventy, and he wants to do it only 582 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,720 now every ten years because I've been clean for all 583 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,559 the w as I did before. So less is more, 584 00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:05,359 and yet the insurance companies they're pushing for more and 585 00:30:05,359 --> 00:30:06,960 more and more. I just don't get it all right, 586 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,039 So as far as well, we're gonna talk about tell 587 00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:12,920 themedicine because I was not secondly on my list emergencies. 588 00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:15,359 How do we determine? How do we tell it? If 589 00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:18,079 my problem going on right now is really an emergency 590 00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:20,759 and you don't know. So when you call your office 591 00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:23,640 late at night after they close and you get this, HI, 592 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,079 thanks for calling so Antal hospital, the office is closed. 593 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,640 If you have an emergency, go to X y Z 594 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,759 Animal Emergency Center. So what are you gonna do? Are 595 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:32,680 you gonna sit home and wait? No, you're gonna go 596 00:30:32,759 --> 00:30:35,559 as you should. But once you get there, do you 597 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,640 think that emergency clinician who's probably young, has no experience, 598 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,279 has no wisdom. They may have knowledge, they're smart, they 599 00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:45,000 went to bed school, but no, the and they're gonna 600 00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:47,559 they're gonna send you home, missus Smith. I know that 601 00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:51,000 that looks scary. It's not just go home, enjoy your evening, 602 00:30:51,079 --> 00:30:53,680 see your doctor in the morning. Pack. No, they are 603 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,799 going to start doing tests. They don't know what to 604 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,680 test for, so they test for everything. They have not 605 00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:02,440 gotten a good history to really know what the likelihood is. 606 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,799 So really, and this is what you're paying. You're paying 607 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,039 so you're paying three times what you were paid after 608 00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:11,880 you went to your vent. And to know the difference, 609 00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:14,359 you got to got to start using telemedicine. We can 610 00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:16,400 talk a little bit more about that, or find a 611 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,200 doctor who is an idiot as I am, and his concierge, 612 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,680 meaning I get no premium for being concierge like my 613 00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:26,839 regular doctors, but I certainly will try to be there 614 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:30,640 twenty four to seven. So this is the biggest difference, 615 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,720 and therefore you really need to know. Is there an 616 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,519 alternative to having to run to emergency? Yes, there is, 617 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,880 we'll talk about it next week, all right. Anyway, I 618 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,599 think that's all we have time for. Have a very 619 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,880 safe holiday. Weekend. I remember, keep the food, the corn, 620 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,519 cop the hot hot barbecue away from your pets, or 621 00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:50,440 your pets away from the hot barbecue, and hopefully everybody 622 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:53,720 be safe and all right, Paul, Oh my god, Hippo, 623 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,519 come in next week. That's a good question. The dogs 624 00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:59,319 that lick their paws excessively, could it be food allergy 625 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,200 or The answer is yes and yes. So I'll give 626 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,319 you some hints how to differentiate if you can. And 627 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,880 I will tell you only about fifteen maybe twenty percent 628 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,359 use a fifteen percent of canine allergies are food related. 629 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,640 But one of the biggest problems we have with rutalogy 630 00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:19,000 is clicking the fee, doing the feed. So how do 631 00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:21,519 we differentiate? What do we do? So we'll talk about 632 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:23,640 that next week. Please, hip O come on forward next 633 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,680 week and remind me it's his brain. It's used up 634 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,200 no extra space, so I can use the reminder all right, 635 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,400 and have a great week everybody, and we'll see you 636 00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:35,920 next week, same bat time, Sabak channel here on Instagram 637 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:36,880 and ct life Radio. 638 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,839 Speaker 4: Take care Let's Talk pets every week on demand only 639 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:57,839 on petlife Radio dot Com.
