• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Well, the ones we're used to seeing are easily the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: all ones. So actually for me to get a giant Schnauzer,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: it's like once or twice a year. You just don't
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: around here, you don't see him that often. Yeah, everyone
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: has the little schnauzers.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Has giant Schnauzers. That's all she has.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: They're very cool dogs. Yeah, she loves dogs.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: What what what what's cool about them? I mean, what
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: are there? They're they're not They're not for me. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know they're too big of poops? Well yeah, what's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: their temperament?
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: They're usually pretty mellow, especially in our environment to work on.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And they're just big, thick, solid dogs too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're they're they're neat that way if you
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: like the big dogs.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not for Carrie, not for everyone. Right, So here
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we go again with Brody. Hi, Brody, where are you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: calling from?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Morning? Lords? I'm calling from Rexburg.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Rexburg, Idaho. And you've got a puppy? Is that right?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: What's what's the dog's name?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I'm calling on behalf of my mother. The puppy's name
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: is She's a Golden Retriever. She's about a year and
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: a half old. But my question is when when she
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: sees me when I come over to my mom, because
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: they do, she gets so excited. She looks like she's
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: rabbiting so from her mouth like she has a brady
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: but he does. He's just so happy to see somebody.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering why she's so droody. All the time.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: That's not uncommon for some dogs, even some cats, when
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: they get really happy or really excited. One of my
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: own cats at home, you get her happy and per
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and and she'll just start drooling. It's just one of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: their happy responses. So probably nothing wrong with that. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the fact is better than when they get like excited
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and they peel a little bit or something.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I'd take drool over that any day. Sounds
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: pretty normal for that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: It's every Every dog has a strange like my dog already,
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: when when I would come home, Artie would would squid
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: his eyes and.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Bare his teeth. Yeah, and and kind of like the smiling.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: I didn't know what to say, and I asked people
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: and they said, oh, no, he's smiling.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah he's home. Yeah, it's better, but it's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: better what she The sad thing about this, Brody, is
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: apparently this dog likes you way more than he likes
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: your mother. So that's good. He sees mom every day,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and so yeah, and it's better than what I do.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And I when I meet people that I like, I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a submissive peer. That's true. All right, Brody, thank you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: We're back with doctor Josh Davis to answer questions about
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: your puppies and kiddies. He is a veterinarian practicing down
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in Utah County.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: At where in American fort it's called Banfield Hospital.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Banfield Hospital, Doctor Davis can answer your questions. The lines
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: are full, so let's go. Let's begin.
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Jen.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Hello, Jen, Jen, what's your what's your dog's name?
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: So?
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: I have three dogs. I have Odin, Luna, and Nova.
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: I'm calling about Nova. She is two years old. She's
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: a kealthy husky mix, full of energy, super fun. But
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: my problem is is that she we will let all
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: of them outside, she'll go to the bathroom, but then
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: she won't poop outside. She'll run inside, She'll run downstairs
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: and she always poops downstairs.
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: Wants to warm, Well, Mama, it's colds warm.
• 4:16
  Speaker 10: Any suggestions or yeah, that's a common one you hear
• 4:22
  Speaker 10: is just you know, you let them out to run free,
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: to go to the bathroom.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And one of the important things is if that's happening,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: is to try and establish that routine outside because for
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, they found the routine works better inside. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: sometimes not letting them run free to go to the bathroom,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: but actually getting a spot outside on a leash, make
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it happen. Then cut them loose, you know, to play
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that, and just reinforce that also, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: good retreats reinforces those good behaviors that way. But a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: lot of dogs, if you just let them run, they
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: get distracted and doing other things, especially young dogs.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And so that happens to me, sometimes happens to the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Jenna forgets the poop outside and he goes into the basement, happens.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So it's probably more on that behavior side.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there are some medical reasons, but you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: a young dog like that probably just is having a
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: good time and getting distracted. So reinforcing that behavior is
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: a good place to start.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That's a training all right, perfect, thank you, all right,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: thank you, Jen. All right, let's go to Christina. Hello Christina, Christina,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: what's your cats?
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Now? Well?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: I have eight, but I'm calling about Sage.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So Christina, the crazy cat lady is calling
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: about Sage. I was going to ask you the foster mom.
• 5:35
  Speaker 11: Now won't let go.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead.
• 5:39
  Speaker 12: So Stage is about ten months old now, and when
• 5:42
  Speaker 12: he was about five months old, he got fixed and
• 5:46
  Speaker 12: when he came home he still looked completely intact. We're
• 5:50
  Speaker 12: told that this sometimes happens, but he was aggressive. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 12: then a few weeks ago, I caught him spraying and
• 5:59
  Speaker 12: we took him back to event to check and they said,
• 6:01
  Speaker 12: what we're feeling is his other parts and leftover.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Sheaths from removing the testes.
• 6:09
  Speaker 12: And they gave him a shot of the progesterone and
• 6:13
  Speaker 12: for a couple of days he was a little chiller,
• 6:16
  Speaker 12: and now he's right back to wanting to basically hunt
• 6:20
  Speaker 12: my other cats.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: And I don't know what to do.
• 6:23
  Speaker 12: I've done like separating them and treats. We've gone through
• 6:28
  Speaker 12: so many different kind of interactive toys trying to find something,
• 6:32
  Speaker 12: and I'm just at a lot. That progesteron shot did
• 6:36
  Speaker 12: kind of tone him down, but it changed it, like changed.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Him a lot.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: What's going on that's strange. I haven't heard of.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I guess doing that type of therapy for that. Depending
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: on when you neuter those young cats, you may not
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: if you don't do it early enough, you may not
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: tame down some of those behaviors.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: So that's one thing.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: But also any multi cat household, especially with that many
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: cats around, interaction actions get really difficult to manage and control,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: and behaviors are really difficult to control. Even if they
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: get along, there's always going to be some little things.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm not sure you're gonna have an easy fix
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: to this problem. And that's one of the difficulties of fostering.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: You know, you're doing a good thing, but cats, when
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you get too many cats in one area, even if
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: they're not exposed to each other, you can get these
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: types of things. So, but you're doing some of the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: right things, and there's a bajillion other behavior things. You know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: we couldn't talk about it all in a short period here,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: but there's lots of the pheromone therapies and other things
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: like that. But I've never heard of doing a shot
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: like that, and it would be temporary anyway most of
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: the time, versus behavior modifying medications which may help you
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: if you plan on keeping this cat, and versus fostering.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So yeah, sorry not.
• 7:46
  Speaker 12: These eight are the ones I've pepped the pheromone like
• 7:49
  Speaker 12: I've seen the pheromone infusers.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Yep, would that be something I could.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah do those.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: There's also sprays, there's callers for that kind of stuff,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: and then you know cat and lots of trees, lots
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: of toys, lots of areas.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Has he tried giving stern talking.
• 8:04
  Speaker 12: To Yeah, he's one that doesn't respond to catnip unfortunately.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Really try out your pheromone therapies and just see if
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you can do some different things that way. But it
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: may not be an easy fix with that many cats,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: so you know that could be the problem.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks Chrisna.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, thank you.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Let's go to a net. Hello, Anette Hiannette, Hi, Hi,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you have a cat?
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: I do. I have a tuxedo cat named Duncan Butterbeans.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I love it. What's your question?
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: So he is very much.
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: An outdoor indoor cat, and I used to live in
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: a house with the doggy door that he would just
• 8:44
  Speaker 11: go in and out all the time. But now I
• 8:45
  Speaker 11: live in an apartment and with a cold weather, sometimes
• 8:49
  Speaker 11: I can't get him inside when he goes out, and
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: I'm just wondering how cold is too cold for him
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: to be outside at night.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: It all depends on the shelter that they have. So
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: some people will set up like a little shelter with
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: a little heating pad in it and water sometimes in
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: bowls that can't that won't let it freeze. So, but
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: you know, if they're exposed to the elements out all night,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: they can get frostbed on their ear tips, on their nose,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: so they can get some harm from that. So if
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: you can't get him in, look into a shelter for him.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: If you can, at least that way, you're safe and
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: you'll probably be okay.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: But the temperatures right now are definitely dangerous.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Would it be horrible to just and that, to just
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: keep him inside all the time, not let him go out.
• 9:34
  Speaker 11: He will meet out and scratch the door is horrible.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, once they get a taste of freedom, it's it's
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: hard to break that habit.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well we're all like that, all right, good luck.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Now set up a shelter then and all right, all right,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: let's go there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Let's see Melody Melody is here, Hello, Melody cat question here.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: I have a fifteen year old Calico. Her name is Tuley,
• 9:58
  Speaker 13: and recently she started more throwing up this like it's
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: just like bubbles of air. It looks like and it's
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: you know, I mean, it's a little cat. You would
• 10:10
  Speaker 13: do that, but it wasn't very often, but now it
• 10:12
  Speaker 13: seems like it's a daily occurrence.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with an old cat like that, there could be
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of issues you have medically going on. So
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: if you haven't had recently, you know, a good checkout
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: with thorough blood work, because cats vomiting can just be
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: a sign of other diseases like kidney disease, thyroid disease, diabetes,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: all sorts of different things can do that. And then
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: also as they get older, sometimes just digestibility and that
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff and food can can be a factor.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: And then how long they go between eating can also
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: be a factor. So that white foamy stuff isn't uncommon,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: but if it's every day, I'd be digging in for
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a reason for that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 13: Okay, okay, I'll make an appointment today.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Thanks, you better safe, you know. All right, Let's go
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to Hi, Sherry, Hi, Hi, Hi, by what you dog?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: What's your dog's name?
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: His name is Ozzie. He's ten years old. He's an
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: English bulldog and a lab A mixed. He has he
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: has a lot of like he's developed a lot of
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: little fatty tumors as he's getting older. I don't know
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: if that's part of some of the breed issues, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: he has one that's harder that's on his back backset.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Mm hm oh okay.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the biopsy's done of it, and they were concerned
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: of a couple like cells that they saw and recommended
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: having it removed. But it's an extremely expensive surgery, it is,
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: and I don't know what to do. I don't know
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: if I should give another opinion or if I should
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: be super concerned. It doesn't seem to bother him.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you kind of have the two options there with
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: without knowing the biopsy results. I can't tell you exactly,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: but if it's if there's some concern, I think get
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: a second opinion on those results, for sure. But and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: if it's a tumor that's going to be a problem,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: if you don't remove it, then you have to you'll
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: start to fight the effects of the tumor, whether that's
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: locally with infections or ulcers or other things, or if
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: it's the type of tumor that wants to spread to
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: other places. So get a second opinion on the results.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: But yeah, especially in that breed, so they can get
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: some pretty serious tumors sometimes, right.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I just is there.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Help you cut?
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: Are you still there where to go that's more affordable,
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: because I I know I'm not going to qualify for
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: care credit fortunately, so I'm trying to figure out I
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: was going to do a go fund me page, but
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: I've tried to where I could go that's a little
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: more affordable because.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: His bet is not cheap, right, Yeah, I know veterinary
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: CARERORS definitely has gotten a lot more expensive, for sure
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: because the specialization.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Of it and things like that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think best would be to call around
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: and just kind of get some feels. Most people will
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: give you a ballpark on prices, but surgeries like that
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: or if they're really invasive there, they're not inexpensive.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I don't suppose there's a YouTube video that shows you
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: how to do it yourself. There probably is, unfortunately, but no.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: And there are also besides gofundies, there are groups out
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: there that do grants and things like that, so on
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: social media, there's a lot of resources out there.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: Okay, because he's the love of my life.
• 13:30

• 14:49
  Speaker 10: Any suggestions, Yeah, that's a common one you hear is
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: just so you know, you let them out to run free,
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: to go to the bathroom.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: And one of the employ and things is if that's happening,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: is to try and establish that routine outside because for
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, they found the routine works better inside. So
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: sometimes not letting them run free to go to the bathroom,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: but actually getting a spot outside on a leash, make
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: it happen. Then cut them loose, you know, to play
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that and just reinforce that. Also, you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: good retreats reinforces those good behaviors that way. But a
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: lot of dogs, if you just let them run, they
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: get distracted and doing other things, especially young dogs.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And so it happens to me, sometimes happens to the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Gina forgets the poop outside and so she goes into
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the basement.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: So probably more on that behavior side.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there are some medical reasons, but you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: a young dog like that probably just is having a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: good time and getting distracted. So reinforcing that behavior is
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: a good place to start.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: That's a training right, perfect, Thank you, thank you, Jen.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: All right, let's go to Christina. Hello, Christina, Christina, what's
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: your catch?
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: I have eight?
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: But I'm calling about sage.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So Christina, the crazy cat lady is calling
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: about saying I was going to ask you.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: The foster mom.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Now won't let go Okay, go ahead.
• 16:12
  Speaker 12: So stage is about ten months old now and when
• 16:16
  Speaker 12: he was about five months old, he got fixed and
• 16:19
  Speaker 12: when he came home he still looked completely intact. We're
• 16:24
  Speaker 12: told that this sometimes happens, but he was aggressive. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 12: then a few weeks ago I caught him spraying and
• 16:32
  Speaker 12: we took him back to the vet to check and
• 16:34
  Speaker 12: they said, what we're feeling is his other parts and
• 16:39
  Speaker 12: leftover sheaths from removing the testes, and they gave him
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: a shot of the progesterone and for a couple of
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: days he was a little chiller, and now he's right
• 16:51
  Speaker 12: back to wanting to basically hunt my other cat.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: And I don't know what to do.
• 16:57
  Speaker 12: I've done like separating them and treats. We've gone through
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: so many different kind of interactive toys trying to find something,
• 17:06
  Speaker 12: and I'm just at a lot. That progester shot did
• 17:09
  Speaker 12: kind of ton him down, but it changed it, like
• 17:12
  Speaker 12: changed him a lot.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't heard of I guess doing that type
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: of therapy for that. Depending on when you neuter those
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: young cats, you may not if you don't do it
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: early enough, you may not tame down some of those behaviors.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: So that's one thing, but also any multi cat household
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: especially with that many cats around, interactions get really difficult
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to manage and control, and behaviors are really difficult to control.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Even if they get along, there's always going to be
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: some little things. So I'm not sure you're gonna have
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: an easy fix to this problem. And that's one of
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the difficulties of fostering. You know, you're doing a good thing,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: but cats, when you get too many cats in one area,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: even if they're not exposed to each other, you can
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: get these types of things. So, but you're doing some
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: of the right things, and there's a bajillion other behavior things,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: you know, we couldn't talk about it all in a
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: short period here, But there's lots of the pheromone therapies
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: and and other things like that. But I've never heard
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: of doing a shot like that, and it would be
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: temporary anyway, most of the time interesting versus behavior modifying
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: medications which may help you if you plan on keeping
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: this cat and versus fostering.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: So yeah, sorry, these eight are the ones I've pepped.
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: So the pheromone like I've seen the pheromone infusers, Ye,
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: would that be something I could, yeah do those.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: There's also sprays, there's callers, for that kind of stuff,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and then you know catnip, lots of trees, lots of toys,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: lots of areas.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Have you tried talking to Yeah?
• 18:40
  Speaker 12: Them, Often he's one that doesn't respond to catnip unfortunately.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Really try out your pheromone therapies and just see if
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: you can do some different things that way. But it
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: may not be an easy fix with that many cats,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: so you know that could be the problem.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Thanks Chriscena.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, thank you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go to a net. Hello on Nette, Hi, Hi,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you have a cat?
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: I do. I have a tuxedo cat named Duncan Butterbeans.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I love it. What's your question?
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: So he is very much an outdoor indoor cat, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: I used to live in a house with the doggy
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: door that he would just go in and out all
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: the time. But now I live in an apartment and
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: with a cold weather, sometimes I can't get him inside
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: when he goes out, and I'm just wondering how cold
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: is too cold for him to be outside at night.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: It all depends on the shelter that they have. So
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: some people will set up like a little shelter with
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: a little heating pad in it and water.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Sometimes in bowls that can't that won't let it freeze.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: So but you know, if they're exposed to the elements
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: out all night, they can get frostbed on their ear tips,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: on their nose, so they can get some harm from that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: So if you can't get him in, look into a
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: shelter for him. If you can, at least that way,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: you're safe and you'll probably be okay. But the temperatures
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: right now are definitely dangerous.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Would it be horrible to just and that, to just
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: keep him inside all the time, not let him go out?
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: He willed me out and scratch at the door is horrible.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Once they get a taste of freedom, it's it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: hard to break that habit.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well we're all like that, all right, good luck?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Now shut up a shelter then, all right, all right,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: let's go there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Let's see Melody Melody is here, Hello, Melody cat question here.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 20:27
  Speaker 13: I have a fifteen year old Calico. Her name is Tuley,
• 20:31
  Speaker 13: and recently she started more throwing up this like it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: just like bubbles of air. It looks like and it's
• 20:41
  Speaker 13: you know what I mean, there's a little cat. She
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: would do that, but it wasn't very often, but now
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: it seems like it's a daily occurrence.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with an old cat like that, there there could
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: be a lot of issues you have medically going on.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: So if you haven't had recently, you know, a good
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: check up with.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Thorough blood work, because cats vomiting can just be a
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: sign of other diseases like kidney disease, thyroid disease, diabetes,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: all sorts of different things can do that. And then
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: also as they get older, sometimes just digestibility and that
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff and food can can be a factor.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: And then how long they go between eating can also
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: be a factor. So that white foamy stuff isn't uncommon,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: but if it's every day, I'd be digging in for
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: a reason for that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: Okay, okay, I'll make an appointment today.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Cool?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, better safe, you know. All right, Let's go to Sherry. Hi. Sherry, Hi, Hi, Hi.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: What you dog you're doing?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: What's your dog's name?
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: His name is Bobbie. He's ten years old. He's an
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: English bulldog and a laugh effics. He has a lot
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: of like he's developed a lot of little fatty tumors
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: as he's getting older. I don't know if that's part
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: of some of the breed issues, but he has one
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: that's harder, that's honest, bad backset. Okay, Yeah, a biopsy
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: is done of it, and they were concerned of a
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: couple like cells that they saw and recommended having it removed.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: But it's an extremely expensive surgery, it is, And I
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: don't know what to do. I don't know if I
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: should get another opinion or if I should be super concerned.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: It doesn't seem to bother him.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you kind of have the two options there with
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: without knowing the biopsy results. I can't tell you exactly,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: but if it's if there's some concern, I think get
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: a second opinion on those results, for sure. But and
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: if it's a tumor that's going to be a problem,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: if you don't remove it, then you have to you'll
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: start to fight the effects of the tumor, whether that's
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: locally with infections or ulcers or other things, or if
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: it's the type of tumor that wants to spread to
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: other places. So get a second opinion on the results.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: But yeah, especially in that breed, so they can get
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: some pretty serious humors sometimes, right, Yeah, I just is.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: There do you.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Help you cut out?
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: Are you still there where to go that's more affordable
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: because I I know I'm not going to qualify for
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: care credit fortunately, so I'm trying to figure out. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: was going to do a GoFundMe page, but I've tried
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: to where I could go that's a little more affordable
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: because his bet.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Is not cheap, right, Yeah, I know veterinary carers definitely
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: has gotten a lot more expensive, for sure because the
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: specialization of.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: It and things like that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think best would be to call around
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and just kind of get some feels. Most people will
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: give you a ballpark on prices, but surgeries like that
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: or if they're really invasive, they're they're not inexpensive, unfortunately.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: So I don't suppose there's a YouTube video that shows
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you how to do it yourself. There probably is, unfortunately,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: but no.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: And there are also besides go fundies, there are groups
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: out there that do grants and things like that. So
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: on social media, there's a lot of resources out there.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: Okay, okay, because he's the love of my life.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, well, good luxury, thank you so much. All right,
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: that's all the time we have, Brady. If you want
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: to hang on, I'll let you play beat Gina.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: How about that? All right, thanks guys, all right, Doctor
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Josh Davis, thank you, see you in a couple of weeks.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
