  Speaker 1: Well, here he is. He's doctor Josh Davis. You ever
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: heard of that trilogy clinic doctor Davis.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I think I heard of it somewhere.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty Are they pretty good?
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm a little biased, but I think we
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: do a pretty good job. Doctor Josh Davis is here.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: He is a veterinarian and he can answer questions that
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: you might have about the health and well being and
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: psychological well being also of your puppies and your kiddies specifically,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: So Paulin ask your questions.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Because it's dental health month. That's really important to your
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: dog's overall health, your dogs and your cat's overall health.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: Right, yeah, absolutely, yeah, And it's I mean, it's nice
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: to have a focused month.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I think Donald months should be every.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: Month, of course, but it's really important, and I think
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: over the years that's gotten more awareness out there about
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: just how important that is, because not only do you
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: deal with pain and infection in the mouth, poor dental
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: health can also contribute to other diseases around the body,
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: so heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, things like that.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: So it's not just that bad breath you have to
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: worry about it it can affect many other things.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Could be an indicator of other things.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Do you have to sedate them in order to do
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: down a work on them?
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, to do a what's considered a thorough teeth cleaning
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: and assessment. They do have to be under general anthesure
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: for that, so it is important to make sure their
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: health status is appropriate for that community.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Will sedate me if that helps? Yeah? Yeah, for sure.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: No, but yeah, there are you know, there are things.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: That are called non anesthetic dental cleanings, but you just
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: you can't be as thorough with something like that, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: you can't take X rays, you can't make assessments the
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: same way.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: All Right, the phones are going crazy. Let's start with Darryl. Hi, Daryl,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: what what you have a dog? What's the dog's name?
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Luna?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, what's Luna's problem? Darryl?
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: Well, she's a little one year old Julier or whatever
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: they're called. I mean, she's getting a little bit of
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: a cherry eye in one of her eyes. Wondering that
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: need to be fixed or is it something that can
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: be managed?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Do you know what that is, doctor Davis? A cherry
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what is he?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, so cherry eye, it's a condition.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: We see it often in smaller breed dogs, especially like
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: pugs and shit too's the short faced dogs sometimes. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: it's that dogs have a gland in their third eyelids.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: So if you ever see their third eyelid slide up,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: it's just a it's a different eyelid than we have,
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: but there's a gland inside of that. And for some dogs,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: that gland can actually flip up and actually poke.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Out of the eye, and it's red. So it's called
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a cherry eye that way.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: And some dogs tolerate them well, especially if they stay
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: small and they don't cause any trouble, but other dogs
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: they can be They can get swollen and irritated and
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: the dog will start rubbing its eye and they can
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: get eye injuries from that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So some dogs we have to surgically correct that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: All right, So probably ought to take the dog to
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: the vet.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: It's worth getting looked at. Yeah, yeah, that way we
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: could at least say, you know what, let's keep an
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: eye on it for now, or this one's not looking
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: great and we might need to do something about it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Keep an eye on it, keep an.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Eye on it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would look at Daryl. Thanks Darryl.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Okay, thank you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Tasha. Hello, Tasha, whose dog
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: also has eye issues. What's your dog's name, Tasha.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: It's Maggie Jean Stimmons love it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: She is a multi.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: Two, so she's completely white. She gets that weepy eye
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: and so it stains her fur in the.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Corners of her eyes.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: And my friend told me, like, there's an additive you
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: can buy just put like in their food and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: water and it will eliminate that. But I want to know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: is that good or is that not good for them
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: to have that?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And what you're describing is we call that tear staining.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: And a lot of the especially the small breeds or
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: fluffy breeds, they'll get that sometimes. So some things to
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: help minimize that is to try and keep the hair
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: around the eyes as short as possible, because they're really
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: fluffy breeds, that hair is just constantly rubbing on the
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: eyes and irritating them, so good good maintenance that way
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: is important, and just keeping them as clean and d
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: as you can, so wiping out any excess tiers can
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: be helpful. And then the product you're probably talking about,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: there's one called Angelize there's probably others out there, but
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: they can help in the short term, but they do
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: alter the pets pH so they're not I guess an
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: ideal long term solution for that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: What happens if your pet is pH altered.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Well, if they're too acidic or too basic, that can
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: cause other problems. Urinary systems sometimes can be an issue
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: with that, and depending on other metabolic disease, that can
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: be a factor.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And there are you you're saying don't use that stuff.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying not using it, but it's it can
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: be effective.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It's not always a long term solution for that created
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: from the outside good maintenance.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: And then there are rare cases where pets can have
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: plugged tear ducts and things like that, so sometimes we
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: have to flush those out.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: But yeah, just with caution, I would say for stuff
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: All right, thankssure, perfect, Thank you so much.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: All right by quick.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Question from Sketchy Blake.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Hi, Sketchy Blake, what's your dog's name? My dog's name
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is Tune. Yeah, And and about three weeks.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Ago she had a luxating of patolla surgery and her
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: pins started coming out, so they had to go back
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: in and put the pins back in.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Is that a common thing?
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Do they ever need to come out? Majority of dogs
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: they don't necessarily need to come out. If they migrated,
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: it can be a sign that they may have been
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: too active before the healing was complete.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That's that's a common thing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Even though it's metal, metal plates, metal pins, any of that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: If they're too active, they can break or migrate or
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: become infected. So I would say majority of dogs do
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: not need the pins to come out, but it does
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: happen sometimes.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, thank you. All right, Well, let's go to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: our calls for doctor Josh Davis Easier to answer questions
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about your puppies and your kiddies.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And he's with Trilogy Vet Center. Go to trilogyvetsandy dot com.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Carlos.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Carlos, good morning, Good.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: Morning Lord, and good morning dogs.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: What do you you have? What a cat?
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: I don't. I have my grandchildren pretty much. My daughter
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: brings them by every other week when they come over.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: And my grandchildren okay, okay, so one thing, my little
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: Hell's Ricky. I kind of spoil them every time they
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: come by. They expect the canta tuna every time. That's over, Okay,
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: so I do give them a cantatuna, which only water,
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: not not oil. I just wondering if that's okay, if
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: that's so that I should be doing or can do or.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: And you know, as a snacker in moderation, Uh, it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: definitely not okay. As like their soul sources of meals
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: and everything there, and so as long as they're not
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: getting any vomiting or diarrhea, and it's just occasionally, you're
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: You're totally.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Fine to do that the birthday. That's just a little snack,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I might when my wife, when my wife makes tuna
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: fish down, which is she lets me lick out the king.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Well she's hoping that. I was hoping that you'll cut yourself.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Uh so there, Yeah, it's okay, do it once in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a while. Carlos, Okay, great, Ala, you're a good grandpa.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Jenna is here. Hello, Jenna, Hi, Hi, Jenna. What's your
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: dog's name?
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Her name is Penny.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, and what's the question.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: I have a question about her age. So we adopted
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: her in twenty twenty three, and she came all of
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: her paperwork, which was all also from twenty twenty three
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: some of it said she was born in twenty twenty,
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: some of it said in twenty eighteen. So all we
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: knew is, you know, she's between five and three years old.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: So now she's between I don't know, five and eight
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: years old, and we feed her food that's like like
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: science diet based on the dog's age, so you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: adult one to seven. And I guess since we don't
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: know her age, how do I know when to switch
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: to the next aged tire? A good question for her?
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's important, and I think the biggest
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: factors are is the food stages. I mean, they do
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: make subtle changes to formulations and things like that. But
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: also just overall health of the pets. So big problem is.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Always overweight and obesity.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: So you know, if you've got a good handle on that,
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: that's a good thing. And also just general health, so
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: you know, is your annual blood work healthy, Are we
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: getting our routine preventive care with vaccines and parasite control
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: and dentals things like that, So that that cut off
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: somewhat to me, depends on their health status, you know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: because the I mean they have to put a number
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: on the bag, but it doesn't necessarily mean the d
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: that they turn eight, you got to switch over or
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: anything like that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: So health status is a big factor to me.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So it just monitor the dog's health and then and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: then change the food when you feel like it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well based on health status for sure. Yeah, but
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: it's I would say somewhat arbitrary for that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, what it what it would it
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: hurt the animal to give it the elderly food now?
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Just to not necessarily sure you can just limit certain things,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: you know, to to avoid problems like ob city and
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: things like that. So I don't think it's probably a
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: big deal if it's a year or two on either side, honestly,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: unless there's a health reason, and then we might choose
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: a different food anyway to try and address the health problem.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Don't take your dog over to Carlos because he'll give
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: them can of tuna, that's true.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no tuna in moderation.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It's okay for sure.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: All right, yeah, yeah, all.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Right, Jenna, I thank you, thank you?
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Sure here karate, Hi, good morning? How are you? Good morning? Laurs?
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me listen. Yeah, what you have
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a cat? What's the cat's name? Hiper? Okay, what's your question?
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: My question is is I was told that cats can't have.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: Grains in their food?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Is that true? Grains?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Grains and the food? I mean, it's not it's not necessary.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: You know, some I mean foods have to have carbs,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: fat and protein and everything.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And there is a.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Lot of kind of hype about grain or grain free
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: out there, and in dogs it has been shown. I
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: know you've got a cat, but in dogs it's been
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: shown that grain free diets can be detrimental to their health.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So I just.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Think that a you know, a good quality, you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: formulated food for cats. If you stick with that, you're
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: you're generally going to be just fine with that. So,
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: but you know, grains as themselves. Again, cats don't necessarily
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: need that, but they do need good protein, fats and
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: carb sources.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Do you have some desire to give your cat grain
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: for some reason?
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: No?
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I what about switching foods on them?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: It's okay to do that as long as you just
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: take it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: You want to take it slow, You want to slowly
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: mix in the new food over you know, three to
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: five days is usually safe because you don't want to
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: cause vomiting or diarrhea. And cats are really good. If
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: you switch them too fast, they will they will just
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: stop eating sometimes, and you don't want that to happen either.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Right, okay, all right, all right, thank you later.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Here's a text question. Is it necessary to get a
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: heartworm test every year? Even though I am current on
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: the injection?
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the recommendation is to have them tested every year,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: so on one is to track the prevalence and also
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: resistance of heartworm disease. And the other is that the test,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: at least the test that we use also checks for.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Other tickboarn diseases too.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: So heartworms carried by mosquitoes, but there are tick born
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: diseases like lime disease is one of them, and so
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: it's always important to track that because depending on how
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: long you've been on heartworm, where you live in the country,
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: there are strains of resistant heartworms. So knowing your status
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: is always important. And so it's not just you know
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: a lot of people are like, oh, it's just another
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: way for the VET to make some money. That's that's
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: not why we do it. We do it to make
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: sure of the status and make sure that we're on
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: the right track. And because if you get heartworm disease,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: it's a difficult road and treatment is it comes with
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: risk for sure, and heartworms. Once you have them, there
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: is permanent damage to the heart and vessels even if
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: you treat the heart.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Really yeah, so you do not want to get heartworm?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Okay? Another text question, my eight year old dog de Bordeaux.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I guess the name is Bordeaux talk to text?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Is not your friend?
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Kid starting to have growths on his skin that look
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: like dark skin tex eggs or just dark wormlike pieces
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: of skin.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Do they need to be removed?
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: In general the old dog skin tags and little wort
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: to like growths. They're generally not considered aggressive cancer or
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: anything like that. But some dogs they can become irritated
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: where the dog will lick or chew at them, or
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: they can become infected. So in those cases I do
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: recommend removing them. But most of the time they're not
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: a problem, and a lot of times we remove them
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: because the owner doesn't want to look at a big,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: gross lump growing or something like that. Some of them
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: can be some of them can be kind of funky
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: or gross looking, you know, so just best get it,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: you know, get it biopsied. Make sure it's not a
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: problem and remove it if you don't want it there,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: or if it's causing trouble.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: My short haired male cat ten month old named McGregor
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: has severe sneezing attacks and often has dried boogers on
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: his nose.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Why could this be? What can I do to help him?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's allergic to you.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: For a young cat, a lot of times we do
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: worry about if they do have chronic herpes virus infection.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Many majority of cats.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: In the world have been exposed at one point in
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: time or another to herpes, and so their health status
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: and their immune system status can affect how that goes,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: So that's one possibility.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Certainly, allergies can be a thing.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Cat litter too high dust cat litter, or cat litter
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: that doesn't agree with him.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: That can be a problem. In older cats.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Dental health can be a problem with snotty or crusty noses.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: So you know, if they're happy and doing their thing
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: and it's not causing any trouble, you're probably fine to monitor.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: But if they get lethargic or start coughing or other things,
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: then I would definitely be more worried about it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'm happy with my crusts.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: The dog de Bordeaux is a French mastiff.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: That's a big dog.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: That is a thing. Is that a big dog? That
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: is one of those big dogs?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to fix, Like, yeah, there you go.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Let's see. My old English bulldog George suffers from ear
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: infections and itchy.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Pause.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Is there a supplement or a monthly medication that can
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: help on top of our medicated baths and ear washing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the that breed.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: A lot of the bulldogs and pugs and even pities
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: really struggle with skin.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: So ears are usually a problem.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Secondary too often allergic dermatitis or atopic dermatitis. So if
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: you're just treating the ears, you're probably not treating the
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: whole problem, which is probably the whole body. That's why
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: the paws are involved. The ears are involved. So there
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: are monthly things that you can do. So that's that's
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: a dog. I would definitely want to get in to
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: be seen and make a plan because you're you're probably
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: keeping things at bay, but you're not you're not trying
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: to get to the root of the problem.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: It sounds like all.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Right, and finally this I love the way this is worded,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: but we'll we'll take it apart here can a nine
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: year old sheets who called Tucker develop dementia?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: This is very specific to Tucker.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Think. I think the question is can nine year old
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: get dementia?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: It is described in dogs to have cognitive decline or
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: cognitive dysfunction. Nine is probably on the younger side for that,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: but it's not impossible. And so if you do, if
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: you look up kenine cognitive dysfunction, there is a I
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: don't remember the list off the top of my head.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: It's it's a lengthy list, but there's a list of
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: things to look for. And as you just losing his
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: keys and yeah, if you check those boxes more and
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: more and more, then you probably wa.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and they will.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: They'll sit and stare at the corner, they'll bark it nothing,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: they'll walk in circles. There's a long list of things.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: So if you start checking those boxes, then there's a
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: good chance you might be dealing with that.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Is it unpleasant for the animal to experience this or
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: do we know it's.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's hard to say.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, they just have strange behaviors and uh, not
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: generally associated with pain or anything like that. It's just
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: they just start acting strange, and there are some medicines
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: that come from the human side that we can use
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: to try and mitigate that. But also there are prescription
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: diets to train and help with that. High high volumes
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: of fatty acids or fish oils can be beneficial for
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: the dogs and people, so there's ways to work around it.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: But yeah, look up that list and if you're checking
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: those boxes you might be dealing with that.
• 17:37
