I work in a vet clinic as a receptionist. We had this dog come in with a bloated stomach, they did an X-ray and the stomach looked really weird, something was blocking but it looked kinda hazy. They decided to go ahead with surgery and it was a pair of lacy panties. Lacy panties that the woman of the dog owner couple did not recognize.

I'm a veterinarian and I've been wondering if you'd ever have one of us on the show 😂 Thanks for including us as medical professionals. Also would love to hear you two chat with a shelter veterinarian, which is the specialty I'm in. Very different from private practice and something I think most people do not understand or have a lot of misconceptions about.

@lissakaye610 9 месяцев назад

❤️ Shelter vets! You guys are warriors. I think shelter med is way harder that er vet med, because the majority is unwanted or abused animals. You guys are sooooo tough.

@@lissakaye610 Aw thank you! I'm in awe of ER. We get a trickle of emergencies and every time I look around for an adult to deal with it because they scare me and it's like, oops, I am the adult. Can't imagine doing that for every single case 😂 You all have nerves of steel. We have partnerships with a number of our local ERs that accept cases afterhours and transfer to us in the morning and I can't be thankful enough for what they (and you) do! We've even bummed iodinated contrast medium and parvo tests from a partner ER partner in a pinch in the past so y'all are truly essential ❤️

I saw there’s a board specialty just approved for shelter medicine!

@heap_o_sheep 9 месяцев назад

@@CJChesspnp It was approved as a board specialty in 2014. Shelter veterinarians can follow a traditional internship/residency/board exam route (difficult since there are only two? residency programs in the US) or they can do a practitioner pathway which involves 5 years of relevant practice and passing boards. It's very exciting :) ETA if I remember correctly the thing that happened recently was the specialty was essentially on like a probationary period from 2014 and it recently has received full recognition.

One unfortunate thing about living in the country is that city people think it's a good idea to dump their unwanted pets out here. Thus far I've acquired a large dog, cat, kitten and a cockatiel (!) this way. The kitten showed up only two weeks ago.

Same here withe me. About 5 months ago a beautiful blind Australian Shepherd was dumped at my farm. It’s so sad someone abandoned him, especially since it’s a death sentence for any blind animal to be in the country, vulnerable to predators, cars, trucks, farm machinery. Now that he’s part of the family I feel blessed the this blind dog adopted us and can’t imagine not having him.

@deeceepnw 9 месяцев назад

Great show! We lived out in the country in So. OR on 26 acres and people always dumped cats at our gate (last turnout). If they made it past our Akitas we would catch them. We had a deal with our vet (God Bless Dr. Tom!) who would do nickel neuter/spay and $5 vacc. We probably did 50 catch and release barn cats. Some we re-homed, some became porch cats. Some just became great mousers. Dr. Tom always cared for them and taught new vets and students from OSU. Never better care anywhere.

Can’t wait to watch this later! Downloading. I’m trained in behavior and have worked in rescue for nearly a decade (and run my own now), and there are SO many similarities not just in physical health but also psych issues. I work specifically with severe behavioral issues, and it’s amazing how similar it is to people. I’m autistic, ADHD, GAD, MDD, PTSD, and I see so much of it in dogs, cats, and other animals too.

As a cardiology licensed vet tech- I love watching your content- my favorite was the one with the ophthalmoscope vs the stethoscope. One of the cardiology vets I work with, her husband is a veterinary opthamologist. So it was extra funny 😂😂😂. Although we do use ophthalmoscopes with high blood pressures .. it does live in a drawer though 😂

The veterinary profession is separated between livestock and companion animals. I think it would be interesting for you to have a large animal vet on the show. Dr. Mike Apley at Kansas state would be a great guest. Ask him about his poem about surgeons.

@lynnebucher6537 9 месяцев назад

I got really good at pilling my cat. Reaching from behind his head, gently grasp his head and upper jaw and tilt his head backwards until Mouth opens wide towards the ceiling. Throw the pill quickly towards the back of his throat, aiming for esophagus. He'll typically swallow reflexively, rubbing throat under lower jaw if needed helps. Release when pill is gone. If your pet is a rare one who knows how to hold a pill it will spit it out, repeat the process.

@verenar.620 9 месяцев назад

Our cat has high blood pressure and unbalanced thyroid levels. Luckily, there's "official" pet medicin for both! Her blood pressure pills are fried chicken flavored, the thyroid liquid comes in honey flavor. So both are like super tasty snacks for her 🤗! Especially the pills are so tasty for cats that our vet told us about the cats at the clinic who once got hold of a whole box of those pills and ate them all 😄. Nothing bad happened, they were just VERY tired and relaxed for a couple of hours 😉. So struggles with cats and pills often result of the need to use human medicine because the process of approval for pets is super expensive and has to be done individually for each species. So that only gets done for illnesses that are very common among them. And only then the drug companies make those drugs flavored in a way the animals enjoy...

@Biohazbird 9 месяцев назад

SHE MENTIONED THE FIP THING!!! We did that once because a Chinese exchange student bought a cat that had FIP, and she actually knew someone who worked on the drug and was able to smuggle it to her. The cat died before the medicine arrived, but around the time it arrives we diagnosed a different cat with FIP. We got the two owners in touch and arranged what I guess you could call a "drug deal", where the first owner sold the medicine to the second owner... -I mean, what?! Illegal drug smuggling? Ha, ha, of course not! Why would you even think we'd do such a thing? No, no, not us 😅

Great program! Animal medicine studies benefit human medicine, eg. the beagle studies. In the early 2000's I had the opportunity to meet Janine Fidel, DVM veteran radiation oncologist at the Washington State University vet school (yes, radiation therapy also is used in treatment of veterinary cancers). One of the benefits of studies with pets is the relatively shorter life spans in that survival trends can be studied in animals with earlier results than human studies. We owe a debt of gratitude to the veterinarians and animals involved in translational research. GJBrownDO 9/27/2023 7:20 Pacific

What a fun, lite episode( although I bet Christine's head was exploding with the notion of animal cardiologists, psychiatrists and yes. Eyeballs. Kudas to the people who can afford the specialities as many cannot. Animals often take the same drugs prescribed for humans: cephalexin, pred, tramadol...(don't take your pets meds people). I wish there was a mention of euthanasia for pets (vs. Physician assisted suicide), but maybe that's too heavy of a topic. Anyway, I've watched all your episodes (oftentimes more than once). You two are great! Best Wishes

Being in Chicago do you see a lot of animals with gunshot wounds? So sad.

@lissakaye610 9 месяцев назад

Doing a lot of years in emergency vet med a large number of owners find abscesses on their cats and think they are gunshot wounds. When they rupture they are big gaping holes. Another thing that happens is finding billets or shrapnel accidentally on X-rays from old wounds when their pet got shot chasing livestock sometime. I’ve only seen a few real gunshot wounds. One was from someone that decided to shoot someone’s German shepherd, and another was from a dog that got shot and dumped before it was adopted. People do some awful things sometimes.

The neighbor and then not to worry because it was "just a .22", so they waited to bring the dog in. The entrance wound was on the lateral thorax and the pet was dyspneic. As we were placing an 02 canula, it had hematemesis and arrested. A necropsy showed the projectile had pierced the diagram and the stomach and lodged in the liver.😢
