00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:24,519
easier than that. So hope you've had a good week

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200
and you know here we are on a nice Thursday.

24
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:29,799
The week's coming to an end, and it is getting

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,000
hot here in southern California. I mean, they're expecting today

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,400
as well into the nineties. They're expecting tomorrow and over

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,480
the weekend to be in the hundreds. As we you know,

28
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:41,280
you know, get close to, you know, supposedly the end

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,879
of summer and you know, just having you know, come

30
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,159
off of a nice long weekend, which is great, but

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,120
you know, it's unbelievable that that here it is getting

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,560
into you know, early September, and we are just hot, hot, hot.

33
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:56,040
I know what it's like in the rest of the country,

34
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,879
but typically for us here in La early September, it's

35
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,439
as that is July, it's really hot. Which you know,

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,799
I'm not complaining because as we come into the weekend,

37
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:08,919
I enjoy my relaxing time, my R and R as

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,639
we call it, so I hope you do so as well.

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,800
But with that hot weather come to some points that

40
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,520
I just can't stress enough. In fact, last week I

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,039
shot a segment for our local ABC affiliate KBC, and interestingly,

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,800
you know, we pitched a lot of ideas to talk

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000
about and they still wanted to talk about hot weather,

44
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:31,159
and some warnings and some suggestions how to keep our

45
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:33,960
pets safe during the hot weather. Here I am, I'm

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,680
you know, I'm ready to talk about back to school

47
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:38,080
and how often times back to school the pets start

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,680
taking a back seat. And interestingly, you know, during the

49
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:44,240
spring and summer we see our patients more, and now

50
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,120
with back to school, I think moms are so busy

51
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:48,080
with their kids and doing all that stuff that we

52
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:52,800
are not seeing the same amount of pet attention that

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,840
we normally see.

54
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: So, you know, it's interesting.

55
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:59,199
Speaker 2: But the summertime tips still it's still summer. Until until

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,639
September twenty first, it's still summer. So you have to know,

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,879
we're talking making sure you exercise early in the morning,

58
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,879
late in the evening. We're talking making sure there's shade

59
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,800
and water out all day. We are watching carefully for

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,960
signs of overexertion overheating. We are not doing those runs,

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,360
and we are never leaving our pets in park cars.

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Those things never change, so you know, keep an eye

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,680
on that. And for those of you that were even

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:28,000
remotely remotely thinking that, as we approach the cooler weather,

65
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:30,759
we get into that fall and then you're thinking of winter,

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,159
and you know, what I would start now planning for

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,680
the holidays, because this is the time of year with

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280
it we see so many issues starting with and I

69
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,360
know it sounds like it's far away, but it's really

70
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,680
around the corner, starting with Halloween, going into Thanksgiving, going

71
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,960
into Hanukah and Christmas, the New Year's this is the

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,800
time that we see a lot of emergencies with our pets.

73
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,319
Speaker 3: So we'll get to as.

74
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: I said, we're going to talk some specifics as we

75
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
get closer and closer, but sort of you know, keep

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,719
that in mind. You want to listen in on Thursdays

77
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,039
here at one pm or Los Angeles, our West coast

78
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:09,159
or as we say, Pacific Daylight Saving time, and at

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,240
four pm back east. But you want to listen in

80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,479
because we're going to have a lot of tips and

81
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,159
a lot of hopefully good hands to help you out.

82
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,079
So we have been seeing I think I mentioned last

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560
week that I've been getting a lot of attention talking

84
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,399
about plastic surgery, and you know, probably the feelers go

85
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:27,040
out and I've had a number of networks. I think

86
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:29,800
I'm maybe doing a piece for I know CBS coming up,

87
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,519
and an inside edition coming up, and I'm actually heading

88
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:34,920
to New York early October to do a segment, and

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680
they always want to talk about these weird, bizarre cases,

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,639
and I'm thinking, you know, wait a second, guys, there

91
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,399
are a lot of things that we have to deal

92
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,199
with on a regular basis that is much more common

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,399
common in the sense of needing some corrective surgery. And

94
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,480
I hate to use the word plastic surgery because when

95
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:51,560
you think plastic surgery, I know, if you just think

96
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
for a second, someone you know is getting plastic surgery.

97
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:57,879
Are they getting corrective surgery or cosmetic surgery? Are they

98
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,360
doing something that's going to help them live an easier life,

99
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,160
Are they doing something that's going to help them make

100
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:04,920
them look better? And I know the truth is when

101
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,439
it comes to people, form is more important than the function,

102
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,560
so much so that people will often, which I find

103
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:16,279
is hysterically funny, is they will sacrifice function in order

104
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:19,439
to achieve a certain form. And you know, just ask

105
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:21,959
just look at pictures of any of these celebrities. I

106
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,959
will not name them, but you know who they are

107
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,920
that have overdone it just a bit too much, where

108
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:29,519
it looks like their faces are like, you know, pressed

109
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,720
up against their heads. It looks like they took that

110
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:33,800
ponytail and just pulled it way too tight kind of thing.

111
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: But with animals, we are.

112
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: Very concerned about function and we may have to modify

113
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,720
that form to achieve the function. And so the two

114
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,040
surgeries that we do much more frequently that I mentioned

115
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:50,279
to these producers about one is and I actually set

116
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:52,959
to do one next week. It is entropy on surgery.

117
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:57,040
There's certain breeds that will end up having eyelid folds

118
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,360
where they're eyelids, the upper and lower eyelids actually are

119
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:05,759
rolling inward continually rubbing against the eyeball, causing a problem.

120
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:09,519
And these dogs present an obvious discomfort. They present with

121
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,600
a lot of discharge, and that is very correctable, and

122
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,120
you know, it might take some of the folds away,

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,240
but it's very correctable. Skin fold pioderm is as well.

124
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,240
We have to eliminate some of those folds in the

125
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,800
sharpei or in the chow chow, or you know, in

126
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,879
the bulldog. If in fact we are getting persistent infections

127
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:26,680
within the folds.

128
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: Are the folds cute? Yeah?

129
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: When it comes to sharpay's, do you expect to see folds?

130
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,920
Of course you do, But if they are presenting and

131
00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:37,639
causing problems, where there's discomfort, where there's infection, where there's

132
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,959
a smell where they mixed it unappealing to be with you.

133
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: Of course we have to fix it. When we talk about.

134
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,879
Speaker 2: Braces in dogs, it's not for that million dollar smile.

135
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,040
It's to allow these dogs to be able to eat

136
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:52,319
and to chew properly so they can ingest their food better.

137
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:55,800
And when it comes to ears is another case we

138
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,319
have coming up. In a cocker spaniel. They have such

139
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:02,839
chronic ear problems that the ears are continually getting infected.

140
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,399
They can't hear, and if left alone for too long,

141
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:09,680
it needs a very drastic piece of surgery. So again,

142
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,800
these are things that we are all working to do.

143
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:16,199
So when you hear someone talking about plastic surgery, you

144
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:19,240
just know that when it comes to pets, don't think Hollywood,

145
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,439
don't think New York City, don't think Housewives of Dallas

146
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:24,680
or where the heck that is. You want to know

147
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,560
that we're talking about improving function for four legged companions,

148
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,560
our four legged friends.

149
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:30,879
Speaker 4: Now.

150
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: Also, you know, just one thing that comes to mind.

151
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,199
You know, I like to share some of our interesting cases.

152
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:38,519
So Lola, if you remember, she was this little dog

153
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,759
that had this splenic mass and it was cancer. We

154
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:42,680
kind of suspected it was, and h god, it took

155
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,040
her so long to rebound, because there's a delay between

156
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:50,360
the time that you stop the bleed and you get

157
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,399
the bone marrow to start rebounding, and reading the fact that,

158
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:54,759
oh my god, now I got to put out more

159
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,680
red blood cells, and this one, admittedly was getting me

160
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800
worried a little bit, thinking, oh my god, we have

161
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:02,480
a an underlying disease or another problem here that she's

162
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,959
just not making red cells. Well, she rebounded amazingly well,

163
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:07,879
and she came in for another follow up and she

164
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,160
is doing just great. Her bludgell count is normal, she's

165
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:16,160
tolerating her chemotherapy amazingly well. And of course, look, she's

166
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,680
not cured forever, we know that, but she is now

167
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,519
enjoying some quality time with the family, and more importantly,

168
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,079
as this family has a few young kids, they are

169
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,920
enjoying some really quality time with.

170
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:30,399
Speaker 3: Lola, and that makes me very very happy. Of course.

171
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,799
Speaker 2: So and then we had you know, it's so sad

172
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,159
when these things happen, but you have to know that

173
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:40,000
we the veterinarians, veteran community, those animal caretakers that are

174
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,679
really committed to your pets and don't think otherwise. We

175
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:45,240
wish we had all the answers, and we can only

176
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,840
follow what has worked for us in the past, what

177
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:50,440
has worked for our colleagues in the past, share data,

178
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:55,559
share information, and sometimes, unfortunately, as I always say, our

179
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,120
patients don't read the same book. So we know what

180
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,879
is supposed to happen, and we tell the owners what

181
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:05,399
they should expect, what should happen, but unfortunately the pet

182
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,440
often has a different plan. And this happened recently where

183
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,559
we again it just so happens. You know, bad things

184
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,200
happened in threes. We had three splenectomies splinning surgeries in

185
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,480
a row. Two are doing very well and the third one, interestingly,

186
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,039
should have been doing great. Why because it was one

187
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:28,960
that had the best prognosis. When it came to the biopsy,

188
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:31,960
it came back as a non cancer, so.

189
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:32,759
Speaker 3: We were thrilled.

190
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: So we do this amazing surgery and take out the

191
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:38,600
spleen and the dog has the first few days are

192
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,320
just doing great and then all of a sudden starts

193
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,840
to go downhill, very very quickly, rush to an emergency center,

194
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,480
and this dog is bruising all over, bleeding from on

195
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,240
the outside the gums. We call it petitiation the ears.

196
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:56,559
I mean problem after problem after problem. And the diagnosis

197
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,279
was the dog was what was called throwing clots. And

198
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,320
what happens is that post surgery like this, when there

199
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,639
is a splenic mass and there's a lot of clotting

200
00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:10,799
going on, even though the mass itself causing all this

201
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,960
bleeding in the clotting was a benign tumor, the problem

202
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:16,799
that the clots are still there, and sometimes these dogs

203
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:19,799
are what we call throw a clot, and that clot

204
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:25,840
starts circulating within the vascular system and it lodges in

205
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:29,759
certain parts of the in certain vessels where the plot

206
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:33,320
is larger than the vessel, and now the blood flow

207
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:36,840
is included, is blocked from wherever it goes. So if

208
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,000
it's blood that's going to the heart, or blood is

209
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,639
going to the brain, or blood that's going to the lungs,

210
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:47,519
this is potentially a deadly complication and another problem we see.

211
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,080
The reason why I saw this dog bruising so much

212
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:53,399
was something called DIC, the disseminated intravascular coagulation. So in

213
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,159
response to the actual potential surgery itself, the necrotic tissue

214
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,200
that was removed, et cetera. Body tries to come in

215
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,159
and sort of solve its problem, and it starts micro

216
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,200
clotting in all the masculature, leaving no clouding factors behind.

217
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,519
So now the dog starts bleeding because there's no normal

218
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,480
clouding factors.

219
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: Available, nothing left.

220
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: Again, it's potentially it's deadly, and unfortunately, in this case

221
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:17,960
it was. And the hard part was that we were

222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,279
so excited when we got the results back and saw

223
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,519
that it was actually a non malignant tumor. We thought,

224
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:27,120
I'm again, of all the three, the two that came

225
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,799
back with tumors are doing well, and the one that

226
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:32,799
came back with a non malignant tumor sadly did not

227
00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:35,159
pull through. And also she was much older. So you know,

228
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,879
it's tough, and it's always tough for us because you know,

229
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,159
we'd love to save every single one of them. As

230
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:42,360
they said, unfortunately, there's a master plan up there that

231
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:44,279
doesn't always match our plan.

232
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:45,639
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's time.

233
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:48,519
Speaker 2: To take a break, and I want you to get

234

00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,240
That's Dr Jeff, Doctor Jeff at Petlife Radio dot com.

301
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:45,120
So a couple of weeks ago, I was just in

302
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,279
Kansas City at the Central Veterinary Conference, and I'm always,

303
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,960
you know, very eager to hear about new things. And

304
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:52,960
one of the things that I hear and you definitely

305
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,440
want to talk to you veterinarians about this. Obviously, there

306
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,559
has been a movement there in general in the profession

307
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:01,480
that we are over vaccinated, and we are now trying

308
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:04,240
to eliminate all the vaccines, not all of them, but

309
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,519
the regularity that the actual schedule that we are revaccinating.

310
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:12,080
And it used to be typically that we had vaccines

311
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,639
that were done on an annual basis, and now we're

312
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,879
learning that a lot of our core vaccines, notably distemper

313
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:22,679
and parvo, the feline vaccines for rhino CALLSI, numinitis, and

314
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:25,120
pan leucopedia, which is the cat fever, and all the

315
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,000
upper respiratories feline leukemia vaccine or canine rabies vaccine are

316
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:32,799
good for considerably longer.

317
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: Than a year. Now.

318
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: We know this because many of us, myself included, have

319
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,240
been titering, which is a blood test that we do

320
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,639
to actually determine whether or not the protection is still

321
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:43,320
good and if so, do not vaccinate. Instead of vaccinating

322
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:47,000
on a random, arbitrary schedule, probably determined by a vaccine

323
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:50,919
manufacturer who obviously wants to sell vaccine, we are vaccinating

324
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:54,639
based on need. Does that pet need to have its

325
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,320
vaccine or is the protection from the last vaccine, whether

326
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,840
it was a year ago, two years ago, three years ago.

327
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: Feel good.

328
00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,399
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled to see that a lot of the manufacturers,

329
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,279
even though their vaccine is a one year quote unquote vaccine,

330
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,039
the manufacturers are guaranteeing it for three years, which I

331
00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:14,240
think is great. So I want you to talk to

332
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,799
your better aarans about that. Do not vaccinate for things

333
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,640
you don't need to, not vaccinate for diseases that are

334
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,039
not common to your area. You would want to ask

335
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,359
what the core vaccines are those the essential vaccines for

336
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,440
your area, and go from there. And we have a

337
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,799
caller on the line. After this caller, we're going to

338
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,880
come back and talk about some examples of what is

339
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,319
core and not core.

340
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 3: Hello, you're on with doctor Jeff.

341
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 10: Hi, doctor Jeff. This is Lily than He. I have

342
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,279
a question about my cat. My cat is he's a

343
00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:48,119
big cat and he he cleans himself like cats too,

344
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,440
but he has not on the back of his on

345
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:52,799
his bac. He's a little matted. I don't know why,

346
00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:55,400
uh huh, how you pick them out because you know

347
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,599
I'm a dog person. This cat adoption me and I

348
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:02,920
don't know what to do. We're twenty pounds, maybe like sixteen.

349
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: All right, because what I notice is that a lot

350
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,640
of times. First of all, as you've already mentioned, cats

351
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,440
are groomers. They groom themselves and typically take pretty good

352
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,119
care of themselves. But what I note is with fairly

353
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,119
large cats, even though they look like they're getting back

354
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,559
there and they're doing their best at grooming themselves, which

355
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:20,640
they obviously have to do, when it comes to the

356
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,400
back end. If they're big, they don't really have the

357
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,559
agility to really get all of those matted areas, but

358
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:31,720
by the licking that they do, if anything, they contribute

359
00:18:31,759 --> 00:18:34,599
to the mat instead of solve the mats problem, so

360
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,039
they can actually make it worse. So what I recommend,

361
00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:40,240
and now I am a cat prom a dog person

362
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:41,880
too because I have lots of each, actually have more

363
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,839
cats than dogs, six to five in favor of the cats.

364
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,680
But what makes it good for me is because my

365
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,920
cats are often joke read the dog book by mistake,

366
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,680
so I think they think they're dogs, and I don't

367
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,000
want to tell them that they're really not. But so

368
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,440
it makes it really fun for the household because my

369
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,319
cats and dogs actually play together. But two of me see,

370
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,839
three of my cats are fairly long hair, and I

371
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,319
just what I do is on a regular basis, is

372
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,759
I get that good either that wire slicker brush or

373
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:13,039
better yet, a ferminator type comb or a metallic it's

374
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:16,119
a metal comb, and I comb.

375
00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: Out those mats.

376
00:19:16,519 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: There's an art to doing it, and chances are it's

377
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,240
really not that hard.

378
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: If you use the.

379
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,839
Speaker 2: Comb properly and you work on teasing the mat out

380
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,759
slowly instead of trying to get the entire mat out

381
00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:31,599
at once, then it's actually the cat's tolerated pretty well.

382
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,119
One of my long haired cats, he's my second largest.

383
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,480
He's also about sixteen eighteen pounds. He's not as big

384
00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:39,440
as my twenty two pounder, but he literally when he

385
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,799
sees that brush coming, just to tell you how crazy

386
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:44,759
he is and how much he enjoys being brushed, he

387
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:48,279
literally rolls over on his back, spreads those legs as

388
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:50,759
if to say, okay, dad, come and get me, and

389
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,400
he lets me comb out all those masts, and especially

390
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,599
in the belly and the back of the thighs, the mats.

391
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: He just he's too fat to get to.

392
00:19:57,799 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: Let's face it, I know it's terrible that I have

393
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:01,480
two cats that are kind of overweight, but what can

394
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:03,440
I do? They like to eat, but I think that

395
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:05,279
once you learn and you can either have your vet

396
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,559
or maybe someone from the staff at your vet hospital

397
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,559
or even your local groomer show you the art of

398
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,839
coming out those mats. And then once you learn it

399
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,839
and you do it slowly, a little bit at a time,

400
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,160
the cats don't reject too much. Now, the best way

401
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:20,680
to not have to deal with the mats is, and

402
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,960
you're gonna hate to hear this one, is after you

403
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
get him professionally groomed and all the mats are out,

404
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,880
you need to get him on a schedule on a

405
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,319
regular basis, whether it's two three days a week where

406
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,640
you do a nice thorough combing, brushing, and if you

407
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,039
do it that way, you will probably never have mats

408
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:39,680
to deal with in the first place. So and it's

409
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,359
you know, it's a great bonding time. And I always

410
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,440
tell people that if you approach it slowly and gradually

411
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:46,720
and make it kind of fun, and maybe do it

412
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:49,359
just before you're feeding your cat, and a chance of

413
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,960
if you cat's a big cat, he obviously likes to eat,

414
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,720
So use that to your advantage. And you know, do

415
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:56,680
whatever you have to do as far as the housekeeping stuff,

416
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,680
whether it's eat cleaning ears, or brushing teeth, or cliping toenails,

417
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,880
or doing the brushing and the grooming. Do it just

418
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,359
before that meal, that meal that he's obviously looking forward to.

419
00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:08,319
And hopefully he won't object so much to that what

420
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,200
you're doing because he knows that it's always going to

421
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,119
be followed.

422
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 3: By his meal.

423
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: So Lily, try those things and get back to it,

424
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:18,000
and let us know when you become that master groomer.

425
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 10: Great, thank you so much, We say thank you.

426
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: All right, let us know.

427
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:26,519
Speaker 2: So before we talked about Lily's big cat and the mats, which,

428
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:29,799
by the way, a very very very common problem. So

429
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:32,839
any of you who have not been combing your cat's

430
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:36,400
mats out, now you know the secret. It's the right instruments.

431
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,200
It's the ferminator, it's the metallic home or the wire slicker,

432
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,839
and it's teasing the mats out slowly, carefully. Once you

433
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,119
get it out, if you start brushing on a regular basis,

434
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,720
chances are you won't really have mats to worry about.

435
00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:50,319
So we were talking about the WHO vaccine and we

436
00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:53,000
were talking about what's called core vaccines, and there's something

437
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:54,839
you need to work out with your veterinarian. But core

438
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,680
vaccines are vaccines particularly in your area, diseases in an

439
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,160
area that you want to protect again, but not wasting

440
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,119
vaccines on diseases that are unlikely you're going to going

441
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,759
to affect your cat or dog. For example, if you

442
00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:10,519
have an indoor cat and I have six of them,

443
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:12,839
a my indoor cats is gonna get rabies of leukemia?

444
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:15,039
Absolutely not. So am I going to vaccinate against rabies

445
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,480
or leukemia No now. Of course, in some states, I

446
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:20,480
know New York requires rabies for cats. That's a different

447
00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:22,880
story if it's required by law, but here in California

448
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,640
it's not, and therefore I don't do it. My dogs

449
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,759
don't do hiking and buy streams. I don't take them

450
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:31,200
to the mountains, so leptosporosis is not a problem for

451
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,119
my dogs here where I live in Los Angeles kind

452
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,119
of in the flats, and you know, not in the mountains. Therefore,

453
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,920
I'm not going to routine vaccinate against lepto, and if

454
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,799
my lifestyle changes, I'll add lepto into the mix. I'm

455
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:47,559
not a big fan of coronavirus vaccine. I think it's unnecessary.

456
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,720
It's a twenty four hour stomach flu. I'm not going

457
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:52,359
to protect against twenty four our stomach flu. The new

458
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,759
influenza vaccine again, we're going to hit the market. It's

459
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:57,640
going to be the save off for upper respiratory. It

460
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,400
turns out that many of us who were given the

461
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,559
option of free culturing of the discharges of these dogs

462
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:07,720
that were thought to be harboring, carrying, or affected by

463
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:11,640
the influenza virus turned out not to be in influenza. Therefore,

464
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,519
I don't vaccinate again. It might be different in your area.

465
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:17,079
You want to check with your veterinarian. So I know,

466
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,079
basically core for us is the Border Teller vaccine. You

467
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,319
know that's the quote unquote kennel cough shot. I shy

468
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,279
away from using that term kennel cough.

469
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:26,279
Speaker 3: I like to call it.

470
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,319
Speaker 2: Live in La cough. Or take a walk on West

471
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,799
Hollywood cough. Or go to the beach cough. Or go

472
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:33,440
to your vet cough. Or go to the groomer cough.

473
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:36,640
Or go to dogy daycare cough. It is everywhere and

474
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,759
very preventable from the vaccine. The border tell that you're lucky,

475
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:44,039
lucky to get it good for one year. In fact,

476
00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:46,720
most of the facilities the grooming facilities, the dog, your daycare,

477
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:50,400
the boarding facilities require it and really correctly so every

478
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,880
six months now. I just came back to the trade

479
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,640
show at Central Veterini Conference and one of the companies

480
00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:59,160
has a new vaccine out realizing that we don't need

481
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,200
this specific three three year vaccine because now all the manufacturers,

482
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:06,680
I should say most of the major manufacturers are guaranteeing

483
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:09,920
their vaccines for three years, which is fantastic, and that's

484
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,880
for distemper and parvo. This one is a half dose vaccine,

485
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:17,440
and by half dose I don't mean half the amount

486
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,039
of anigen necessary to stimulate the immune response to protect

487
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:24,000
these pets for the period of time as endorsed, but

488
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,920
half dose as far as actually half a cc instead

489
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,079
of one cc. Now, what's interesting when you have that

490
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,680
small breed and you think, well, God, you know I

491
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:36,119
use that vile to vaccinate my great dane.

492
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: I really needed to vaccinate the chiuaua.

493
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 2: And the answer is yes, the load of antigen necessary

494
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,240
to stimulate the immune response is the same. There's no

495
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,799
less cells in those little dogs. So therefore the immune

496
00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:52,279
system is the immune system and it needs whatever the

497
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,319
ratio is x times you know, ten to the ten

498
00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:58,759
or thirty amount of anigen to stimulate the immune response.

499
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:02,720
So what's happening is if you give half the volume

500
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,039
of the current vaccine. Let's say it's a CC. They

501
00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:07,559
usually are one mL, and you want to give half

502
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:11,000
an mL, you might be decreasing that anigen load by

503
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,559
fifty percent, which means you may not get the response

504
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,880
you're after. So that's kind of making it dangerous. Now

505
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,640
why do people want? What is when you have a

506
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,680
reaction to a vaccine, and if you give a bunch

507
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,880
of vaccines in one day, it's very possible to get

508
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,559
that reaction. It's not the actual anigen causing the reaction.

509
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:32,119
It's the protein, it's the addivate, it's everything else in

510
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,880
that vaccine that the dog is reacting to. You're getting

511
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,440
that sore If you ever had a vaccine member when

512
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,039
you're a kid, then you had that boot, you're shot

513
00:25:38,039 --> 00:25:39,880
in your arm and your arm was sore for four days.

514
00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:43,359
That's what's causing the soreness. It's all the other things

515
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,480
that's in the vaccine, not the anigen itself. So by

516
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:49,880
reducing all that other stuff by fifty percent, there's much

517
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,079
less possibility of getting the reaction, but you're still getting

518
00:25:52,079 --> 00:25:56,519
the entire amount of anigen to stimulate that necessary immune response.

519
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,319
So please keep that in mind when you visit with

520
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:01,920
your veterinarian and you're talking about vaccines. Do you want

521
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,880
to find out what are the core vaccines in your area?

522
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,400
You want to have them on a good schedule. How

523
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,839
often you need to repeat the vaccines. Some are going

524
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,720
to be six months, it might be a year. Most

525
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:12,680
of them now, which is great, are good for three

526
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,279
years or more. And because you know, I still tighter,

527
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,079
and I've had many many animals that have been six, seven, eight,

528
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,440
nine years since they had their lastest temper shot and

529
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,960
they're still maintaining a high immunity, a high tighter, which

530
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,319
is amazing. So keep that in mind as well. Talk

531
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,920
to your veterinearing about tighters. So once again it is

532
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,960
that time. It seems like the a half hour flew

533
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:36,960
right by. I want to thank Lily for calling us

534
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,759
about her Kiddi cat and the mats. I want to

535
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:41,839
and I left myself a note that I'm getting a

536
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:45,319
lot of questions about diets, about what is the best food,

537
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,160
what to feed our pets, what can we expect from

538
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,039
the different things we feed, etc. So that we will

539
00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:53,720
start talking about that next week. So if you have

540
00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:57,599
any questions or like to send me an email on

541
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,920
any subject about diet and food and feeding, etc. That
