Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh look who's here. It's a veterinarian. It's not just
- 0:03Speaker 1: a veterinarian, yes it is.
- 0:07Speaker 2: It is a veterinarian, and I will identify him now
- 0:10Speaker 2: as doctor Josh Davis, veterinarian extraordinary. He's here to answer
- 0:17Speaker 2: questions about your puppies and kiddies whatever. You know, you've
- 0:20Speaker 2: got some problems with them, you got you got behavior problems. Yeah,
- 0:25Speaker 2: we need more questions about behavior. It's a fascinating topic,
- 0:30Speaker 2: animal behavior, isn't it.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's one of the bigger reasons that you
- 0:34Speaker 3: see pets is for often misbehaviors at home or justs
- 0:37Speaker 3: behaviors that are hard to get under control. And it's
- 0:40Speaker 3: one of the hardest things to work on too, because
- 0:42Speaker 3: no medicine fixes it. Training doesn't always. Yeah, it's a
- 0:46Speaker 3: combination of things, often.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Animal behavior, though it is fascinating. Are there any Are
- 0:52Speaker 2: there people that specialize in that?
- 0:54Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 0:54Speaker 3: Absolutely, there are veterinarians that specialize in behavior and do
- 0:58Speaker 3: consoles that way, and then there are all it's a
- 1:00Speaker 3: growing field of people that do training, especially in home training,
- 1:04Speaker 3: because especially for dogs and cats, you know that spend
- 1:08Speaker 3: a lot of time in the home. Having someone see
- 1:11Speaker 3: your environment for the training can be really valuable because
- 1:15Speaker 3: you know, we we're not always trained to recognize weird
- 1:18Speaker 3: things with our pets, and they are so a lot
- 1:21Speaker 3: of value in that. And I look at it as
- 1:23Speaker 3: an investment, you know, it's it's it's there's a cost
- 1:25Speaker 3: to it, but the investment is often worth it.
- 1:28Speaker 1: You could be cat psychologists.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Yep, we had cat whispers and well we had a
- 1:33Speaker 3: trainer come in.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Yeah, Jen, who Gina and.
- 1:36Speaker 4: I share, did come in. And because I thought Hudson
- 1:40Speaker 4: was stupid, I honestly did.
- 1:42Speaker 5: I thought he was stupid. Not you, Hudson, new intern.
- 1:46Speaker 5: My dog.
- 1:47Speaker 2: We think that this intern is stupid too, And after
- 1:50Speaker 2: after a couple of sessions of training, was all, no,
- 1:53Speaker 2: he's not stupid.
- 1:54Speaker 1: You'd see watch you just got to motivate him.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Yeah. Eight seven seven six two nine six ninety six.
- 2:01Speaker 1: We've got a question online. One dominic is here, high Dominic.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Where are you calling from?
- 2:08Speaker 6: I'm currently in Salt Lake City.
- 2:09Speaker 7: I'm from Clearfield though.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Okay, what what's your dog's name and what's the problem.
- 2:14Speaker 8: His name is Toby.
- 2:15Speaker 9: He's a caton Dejulier. He has way, way, way bad anxiety.
- 2:21Speaker 10: Caught in de Juliers.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Fancy little white dogs.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah.
- 2:26Speaker 5: They're very cool.
- 2:26Speaker 9: Yeah, he's a hypoallergenic for the kiddos and the whole
- 2:29Speaker 9: nine yards set.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:32Speaker 9: Anyway, so he has he has really bad anxiety problems.
- 2:35Speaker 9: Whenever me and the family leave and and we have
- 2:37Speaker 9: him inside, he will always use the bathroom, whether we
- 2:39Speaker 9: take him out or not, and he will not eat
- 2:41Speaker 9: or drink. We've tried kenneling him to kid him from
- 2:44Speaker 9: stop using the restroom in the house, but because they
- 2:46Speaker 9: don't who where they eat supposed to be, but he'll
- 2:49Speaker 9: use the restroom in there and then spin in it
- 2:50Speaker 9: and it ends up on our walls.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Wow, he's He's really trying to send him a message,
- 2:57Speaker 1: isn't he.
- 2:57Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and that and that will'll probably fall into that
- 3:01Speaker 3: classic separation anxiety category where when they don't have their
- 3:06Speaker 3: people around, they can do crazy things like you're talking about.
- 3:10Speaker 3: I mean, they'll chew through doors, they'll chew through walls,
- 3:12Speaker 3: on at your couch, all sorts of things. So I think,
- 3:15Speaker 3: like we were just talking about, I think this would
- 3:17Speaker 3: definitely fall into some of the behavior training and probably
- 3:22Speaker 3: even specifically at home training there and I think in
- 3:25Speaker 3: your case, if it's severe enough, I would probably do
- 3:28Speaker 3: that medically assisted as well.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Get doggy dr lisers.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Yeah, the one that's most commonly reached for is it's
- 3:35Speaker 3: essentially prozac. It's fluoxetine, and it is approved for dogs.
- 3:40Speaker 3: But the thing is, you never want to just give
- 3:43Speaker 3: medicine and not work on behavior, because I do think
- 3:46Speaker 3: for a lot of dogs, crate or kennel training can
- 3:49Speaker 3: be beneficial. Some of those things can be really helpful.
- 3:52Speaker 3: But I think that there's not going to be a
- 3:55Speaker 3: single simple answer for you. But I think behavior training,
- 3:58Speaker 3: behavior modification, and probably medically assisted at least to start
- 4:02Speaker 3: would go a long way.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I would tell you, dominic that when I started taking
- 4:06Speaker 2: prosac got me to stop pooping in the house.
- 4:10Speaker 11: Perfect.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I love that.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so you need how do you how do
- 4:13Speaker 2: you find somebody who specializes this?
- 4:15Speaker 3: There are lots of resources online for sure, for especially
- 4:18Speaker 3: the in home trainings. I mean, if you too have
- 4:20Speaker 3: used someone that you like, you know there's always something
- 4:23Speaker 3: like the person you were talking about, but it's finding one.
- 4:27Speaker 3: And if you have a veterinarian that you partner with,
- 4:28Speaker 3: they often have.
- 4:29Speaker 2: They know people who do what they work with. So
- 4:31Speaker 2: you got to spend some money, unfortunately, Dominant.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Yeah, but it will be worth it, especially if you
- 4:36Speaker 3: have a young dog. You know, you got the rest
- 4:37Speaker 3: of their life, and if you can get these behaviors
- 4:40Speaker 3: under control, they'll be happy, You'll be happy.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Everybody wins in those situations.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Thanks for thanks for your question, Dominic.
- 4:47Speaker 12: Of course, thanks for taking it all.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Right, there we go, Let's go to Scott. I Scott,
- 4:51Speaker 1: where are you calling from?
- 4:53Speaker 10: Calling from Sandy? How are you this morning?
- 4:55Speaker 1: Good? What's your dog's name? And what's the problem here?
- 4:58Speaker 10: I have two dogs. I have Milo, who's a twelve
- 5:01Speaker 10: year old rat terrier, and I have Chelsea, who is
- 5:04Speaker 10: an eight year old Chewini. We've had them both together
- 5:08Speaker 10: for about a year and a half, and Milo over
- 5:11Speaker 10: the last two months or so has gotten really possessive
- 5:15Speaker 10: of both the people and our bed of all things.
- 5:18Speaker 10: Where the other dog he wants to get up on
- 5:20Speaker 10: the bed, Milo will growl and bark at him and
- 5:24Speaker 10: just kind of off putting to the other dog. Who's
- 5:26Speaker 10: a new behavior.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Milo's the terrier, correct, Okay.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and that probably is going to fall into on
- 5:34Speaker 3: some level that behavior category but whenever behavior changes, I
- 5:39Speaker 3: always try to figure out if something in the environment
- 5:42Speaker 3: has changed or if something with the pet has changed,
- 5:44Speaker 3: because a lot of times in older pets things change,
- 5:49Speaker 3: such as just arthritis and pain. Some dogs can just
- 5:53Speaker 3: become kind of low grade painful, and then that can
- 5:55Speaker 3: change their behavior. Other medical conditions can change that situation
- 6:01Speaker 3: may have happened between the two dogs that maybe you
- 6:03Speaker 3: don't know about, could have kind of changed that.
- 6:05Speaker 5: But also just resource guarding.
- 6:07Speaker 3: You know, dogs, if there's a resource they really like,
- 6:09Speaker 3: sometimes they'll guard that.
- 6:10Speaker 5: That can be food, people.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Towards, you know, all sorts of things, and so so
- 6:15Speaker 3: working towards you always want to try, you know, initially
- 6:18Speaker 3: is just redirecting the behavior and trying to make the
- 6:22Speaker 3: situation as positive as you can with the positive reinforcement
- 6:26Speaker 3: rather than you know, getting upset or you know, any
- 6:29Speaker 3: anything like that. So so yeah, there may not be
- 6:32Speaker 3: you know, again, a simple solution behavior rarely is. But
- 6:35Speaker 3: I think if you can, if you haven't had a
- 6:38Speaker 3: checkup in a while, just make sure there's nothing going
- 6:40Speaker 3: on that could be medically contributing to that, and then
- 6:43Speaker 3: work on trying to desensitize you know that resource there
- 6:48Speaker 3: of the bed or the people.
- 6:49Speaker 2: That gott stop stop taking Chelsea the Cheweini, sitting in
- 6:53Speaker 2: a chair, stroking her and saying, you're my favorite. You're
- 6:57Speaker 2: my favorite dog. I love you more than my other dog.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Stop doing that. Thanks, thanks for calling, Thank you, see
- 7:06Speaker 2: all right?
- 7:07Speaker 1: Melissa? Hello Melissa, Hi Melissa, where are you calling from?
- 7:11Speaker 1: Where are you? I'm an Octon, Okay? And what's your
- 7:15Speaker 1: dog's name? And what's the question.
- 7:18Speaker 8: My dog's name is Maggie and she is a fourteen
- 7:22Speaker 8: year old yorkey mix, and I'm thinking she's starting to
- 7:26Speaker 8: go deaf, but I can't really tell because there are
- 7:29Speaker 8: times that she can hear the craziest thing from a
- 7:32Speaker 8: cross room. But other times I have to like say
- 7:35Speaker 8: her name about one hundred times before she even responds
- 7:38Speaker 8: to me.
- 7:39Speaker 2: I think she's just ignoring you.
- 7:42Speaker 8: You know that has crossed my mind.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Yeah, at that age, acquired deafness can definitely be a thing,
- 7:51Speaker 3: for sure. And and what you'll see is that certain
- 7:55Speaker 3: frequencies are certain tones. They may not lose those initially.
- 7:58Speaker 3: It's often an for time problem with that hearing loss,
- 8:02Speaker 3: kind of like with us as we get older. So
- 8:05Speaker 3: I think it's worth getting checked out, because you also
- 8:07Speaker 3: want to make sure that there's nothing wrong with the
- 8:09Speaker 3: ear canals, nothing wrong with the ear drum, and that
- 8:12Speaker 3: usually requires an otoscopic exam. So we want to look
- 8:15Speaker 3: down in the ears make sure there's nothing that's a
- 8:16Speaker 3: structural problem or anything like that. And then we use
- 8:20Speaker 3: when we test hearing in the in the hospital, we
- 8:23Speaker 3: use a tuning fork because it sounds like a buzzing
- 8:26Speaker 3: noise and dogs should respond to that, you know. It's
- 8:29Speaker 3: one of the tools we use for that because it's
- 8:31Speaker 3: hard to do hearing tests, you know, like we do people.
- 8:34Speaker 5: It's can you hear raise your pa?
- 8:38Speaker 3: But I always want to make sure there's not a
- 8:40Speaker 3: medical reason for that that that could be addressed when
- 8:43Speaker 3: it comes down to it.
- 8:44Speaker 1: How about a hearing aid? Do they have hearing ag I.
- 8:46Speaker 5: Haven't heard of that being a thing yet. Yeah, give it.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Time, all right, thanks, all right, thank you, Melissa.
- 8:54Speaker 2: All Right, we're back with doctor Josh Davis. He's a veterinarian.
- 8:58Speaker 2: He can answer the questions you have about your puppies
- 9:00Speaker 2: and kiddies eight seven seven six oh two nine six
- 9:04Speaker 2: And we have.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Lots of questions.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Yes, uh, let's brook kiss here First, Hi, Brooke, where
- 9:08Speaker 2: are you calling from.
- 9:10Speaker 10: I'm calling from Spanish.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Work, Okay? And what's your kiddy's name?
- 9:15Speaker 8: Her name is Brina.
- 9:17Speaker 1: What's up?
- 9:19Speaker 10: So she's been pulling out tail fur and she has
- 9:25Speaker 10: this giant bald spot.
- 9:28Speaker 1: So licking their tail or.
- 9:31Speaker 11: She's been like pulling it out with her teeth.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Jeez.
- 9:39Speaker 3: That's never a fun one to have to deal with,
- 9:41Speaker 3: for sure, and for cats there can be a variety
- 9:45Speaker 3: of reasons for that. So you always want to make
- 9:47Speaker 3: sure does your cat spend any time outdoors that all
- 9:50Speaker 3: are strictly indoors.
- 9:53Speaker 11: He hates the outdoors and we've figured that out on
- 9:57Speaker 11: our first year of having her, so we never take
- 10:00Speaker 11: her up that anymore.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Okay.
- 10:02Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 10:02Speaker 3: So, and the reason I ask is external parasites. Of course,
- 10:06Speaker 3: you know, we don't see a lot of them in Utah,
- 10:09Speaker 3: like fleas and stuff, but we do see them occasionally,
- 10:10Speaker 3: so fleas and other external parasites, So you always want
- 10:14Speaker 3: to treat for that. Even if you don't think you've
- 10:16Speaker 3: got anything, it's still recommended to treat for that. Rule
- 10:19Speaker 3: that out as a problem because they can cause pretty
- 10:20Speaker 3: itchy skin another thing cats can get, and you'll probably
- 10:25Speaker 3: want to get looked at. Is they can get what's
- 10:28Speaker 3: called atopic dermatitis, and in cats it'll often show up
- 10:33Speaker 3: as pulling out hair, plucking hair, or just over grooming
- 10:37Speaker 3: to the point of bald spots their their belly, their tails.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Sometimes they'll loose hair around their face irritating them. Yeah,
- 10:45Speaker 3: it's it's an allergy of sorts, you know, it's it's
- 10:47Speaker 3: kind of a full body allergy. So that's one thing
- 10:50Speaker 3: you have to rule out in some cases. Often it's
- 10:54Speaker 3: less often the case than we think. But food food
- 10:58Speaker 3: and food intolerance can play a role sometimes, but it's
- 11:01Speaker 3: it's not always the case, and sometimes it's just a
- 11:04Speaker 3: contributor to a bigger picture there.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Maybe she just wishes she had a different tale.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Yeah, And sometimes injuries, I've I've seen things like little
- 11:13Speaker 3: like little rubber bands get stuck on cats tails and
- 11:16Speaker 3: they're hard to see because they get under the hair.
- 11:18Speaker 3: I've seen little injuries. So if there's other pets, if
- 11:20Speaker 3: there was ever a biuter fight wound, sometimes injuries.
- 11:23Speaker 5: Can cause that. And then also rarely but I think
- 11:28Speaker 5: it's blamed too often is behavior issues.
- 11:31Speaker 3: So so it's never saying ever that behavior could be
- 11:34Speaker 3: part of it or a change that causes stress or anxiety,
- 11:36Speaker 3: but often that that atopic dermatitis. You kind of have
- 11:40Speaker 3: to rule that out before you move on to others.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Thanks Brook, so.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Brook, thanks for your question. I think Brooke had to
- 11:47Speaker 1: run to the er.
- 11:48Speaker 10: It sounds like it.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Nick is here?
- 11:51Speaker 9: Hi?
- 11:51Speaker 1: Nick? Nick? Where are you calling? Yeah? Good? Where are
- 11:54Speaker 1: you calling from?
- 11:56Speaker 7: All from Salt Lake City?
- 11:57Speaker 1: And your dog's name is He's an eight.
- 12:01Speaker 7: Year old chocolate lab. His name's Copper. I've had him
- 12:04Speaker 7: since he was just a puppy.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Okay, And what's up?
- 12:08Speaker 7: Last night? I was kind of going to bed and
- 12:11Speaker 7: he was snipping something under my bed real hard, and
- 12:13Speaker 7: I was getting mad of there, and he kind of
- 12:16Speaker 7: turned around and snipped at me, which is really unusual.
- 12:20Speaker 7: And I don't want to punish the dog because I
- 12:23Speaker 7: feel like it's something I should have called on too,
- 12:25Speaker 7: like he was under stress, you know. So I guess
- 12:30Speaker 7: I'm just asking if that is kind of typical. I
- 12:34Speaker 7: know he's getting old old this segment earlier, he said
- 12:37Speaker 7: maybe he's got like some arthritis.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Maybe he was going after something under the bed. Did
- 12:43Speaker 1: you say or.
- 12:45Speaker 7: Or yeah, yeah, he was going after something. I'm not
- 12:47Speaker 7: sure what I looked. I didn't see anything.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I think he was just pitched that you interrupted.
- 12:55Speaker 3: There could be yeah, definitely a couple of things at
- 12:57Speaker 3: least potential for that. So one is some dogs just
- 13:01Speaker 3: if you surprise them, they'll they'll turn around, you know
- 13:03Speaker 3: and just kind of say, hey, get back off.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Hyper focused probably and.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Yeah, and you never know what I mean, they can
- 13:09Speaker 3: hear and smell and see things we have no idea
- 13:12Speaker 3: about on that ground level.
- 13:13Speaker 5: So maybe just surprised.
- 13:15Speaker 3: But also depending on how you how you stimulated him,
- 13:19Speaker 3: you know that that breed at that age. Certainly arthritis
- 13:23Speaker 3: can be a thing and it and it's subtle sometimes,
- 13:26Speaker 3: you know, it's little things you gotta watch out for.
- 13:27Speaker 3: But if you really do surprise them and they have
- 13:30Speaker 3: to turn or move, there could be some pain associated
- 13:32Speaker 3: with that, and so I would just kind of watch
- 13:35Speaker 3: out there.
- 13:36Speaker 5: There are definitely signs.
- 13:37Speaker 3: To watch out for arthritis for sure, So I think
- 13:40Speaker 3: just look into some of those. There's some great assessments
- 13:42Speaker 3: you can just search, like you know, how to identify
- 13:44Speaker 3: dog arthritis online and see if some of those other
- 13:48Speaker 3: things are happening. Make sure pain is not part of it.
- 13:50Speaker 3: But maybe it was a one off too, you know,
- 13:52Speaker 3: just kind of scared.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Him or something.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Thanks for calling us from us. Thanks for calling us
- 13:56Speaker 2: from the submarine to Nick. We appreciate that.
- 13:59Speaker 7: Oh no, no, I'm in the Walmart downtown right here.
- 14:01Speaker 5: On Oh okay.
- 14:03Speaker 7: Submarine, I'm actually getting first aid stuff.
- 14:05Speaker 2: So all right, well Nick, yeah, maybe it's just one
- 14:09Speaker 2: time thing, but if he keeps doing it, then you
- 14:11Speaker 2: need to start looking for the cause.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Right all right, thank you, thanks, thanks for your question.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Let's go to Colin. Colin, where are you calling us from?
- 14:22Speaker 10: Hi?
- 14:22Speaker 6: I'm in Salt Lake City and.
- 14:24Speaker 1: You have a dog named what Spats?
- 14:28Speaker 2: What the spats?
- 14:29Speaker 1: Satskay?
- 14:30Speaker 6: P ats?
- 14:31Speaker 1: Okay? And what's the problem paws?
- 14:35Speaker 6: I have two questions about it. One is hopefully a quick,
- 14:39Speaker 6: easy one.
- 14:40Speaker 2: He has two skin tags on his stomach.
- 14:42Speaker 6: One he's had most of his life and it's like
- 14:45Speaker 6: an inch long. And about his stick to the McDonald's straw.
- 14:49Speaker 6: Can I just use one of the like skin tag
- 14:51Speaker 6: remobble things for humans on that?
- 14:55Speaker 3: I mean you can, but you should be careful about
- 14:58Speaker 3: stuff like that because that can and lead to infections
- 15:01Speaker 3: and bleeding and other causes. There so often stuff like
- 15:05Speaker 3: that is just easier to remove if it's big enough
- 15:08Speaker 3: like that, I usually use electro surgery, so electrocottery just
- 15:12Speaker 3: to cutterize them off and that.
- 15:14Speaker 5: Way, okay, they won't bother anyone. If something goes wrong,
- 15:18Speaker 5: then you're gonna end up at the vet spending.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Mone If you have a wood burning kit you might Yeah.
- 15:25Speaker 3: There we so just avoid a problem if you can
- 15:27Speaker 3: add another question.
- 15:28Speaker 6: Okay, Well that leads to the second question, where my
- 15:32Speaker 6: lovely mister stat is not a people person.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Really.
- 15:36Speaker 6: We kind of got him just after his social he
- 15:38Speaker 6: was the rescue, came not from a good situation, and
- 15:42Speaker 6: it's really not okay.
- 15:43Speaker 1: With other people.
- 15:44Speaker 6: So vets are hard.
- 15:47Speaker 12: To go to, like we muzzle him and the vet
- 15:49Speaker 12: that I have, they gave me some tranquilizers to help
- 15:52Speaker 12: kind of ease it into it, but he so I
- 15:54Speaker 12: don't usually.
- 15:54Speaker 6: Go to the vet if I can avoid it, just
- 15:56Speaker 6: because it is just such a big hassle a little bit.
- 16:00Speaker 10: So I'm wondering.
- 16:01Speaker 12: I feel like the tranquilizers kind of amp him up
- 16:04Speaker 12: more because he's loopy, so he's more scared of the vets.
- 16:08Speaker 12: So what can I do to try to like be sensitizer,
- 16:10Speaker 12: start getting used to it, because I feel like he
- 16:12Speaker 12: has potentially he can get over it. Yeah, but I
- 16:15Speaker 12: mean things like the skin tags or and like, you know,
- 16:17Speaker 12: he might start to have it bad tooth and like oh.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, so what what's the what's the answered?
- 16:25Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 16:25Speaker 3: I think a dog like that, you can desensitize them
- 16:28Speaker 3: over time with visits where you know, we'll have him
- 16:30Speaker 3: just come by, not actually take him in a room,
- 16:32Speaker 3: not do anything, just walk him through around the hospital,
- 16:35Speaker 3: smell some things, and head on your way. But I
- 16:37Speaker 3: do think medicine isn't a bad thing. And if the
- 16:41Speaker 3: sedatives or tranquilizers or those things aren't working, it's often
- 16:45Speaker 3: not enough of it or not enough times before the visit.
- 16:49Speaker 3: So for me, any of pet like that, they should
- 16:53Speaker 3: be getting three doses of that medication. And I usually
- 16:56Speaker 3: err on the higher side because I want them coming in.
- 16:59Speaker 3: You know, they should able to walk, but they shouldn't
- 17:01Speaker 3: be super responsive to anything. And some dogs require combinations
- 17:05Speaker 3: of drugs. And let's say we were going to remove
- 17:07Speaker 3: a skin tag or something, we want them under anesthesia
- 17:10Speaker 3: for something like that. Anyway, and so if he's never
- 17:12Speaker 3: had a dental I would say, hey, let's clean his
- 17:14Speaker 3: teeth and all at once. Let's snap off these skin tags.
- 17:17Speaker 3: Because when they're under anesthesia, they don't care about any
- 17:19Speaker 3: of it. We use drugs that we knock them down
- 17:21Speaker 3: and they're not going to know anything's happening. But pre
- 17:24Speaker 3: medicating them is still important because it lowers that that
- 17:27Speaker 3: anxiety threshold. So you may not have had enough. We're
- 17:30Speaker 3: given enough doses before your visits.
- 17:32Speaker 4: Thank you, thanks for your question, perfect, thank you, Thank
- 17:36Speaker 4: you very much. Time for one more quick one amble, amble.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Can you do it quickly? Here?
- 17:43Speaker 7: I contract.
- 17:44Speaker 11: I'm calling from Treemonton and so my dog, Yogi Bear,
- 17:48Speaker 11: he was neutered a few weeks ago and he's been
- 17:53Speaker 11: a bit more aggressive after words. I was, I don't know, well,
- 18:00Speaker 11: if that's normal. It seems like it might be.
- 18:05Speaker 3: Sometimes after surgery, especially the neuter surgeries. You know, we
- 18:09Speaker 3: expect all these big changes behaviorally and stuff, and it
- 18:13Speaker 3: may not always happen. But also they're often you know,
- 18:16Speaker 3: there's some pain associated with that. They're often stuck in
- 18:18Speaker 3: a lamp shade, and so there is some changes just
- 18:21Speaker 3: you know physically and pain and things.
- 18:23Speaker 5: They have to go through so most dogs.
- 18:26Speaker 3: I wouldn't expect it to be a long standing problem,
- 18:28Speaker 3: especially after a couple of weeks ago, so you know,
- 18:32Speaker 3: I would try to keep it business as usual as
- 18:34Speaker 3: much as possible and just try to get back to
- 18:37Speaker 3: normal as much as possible, and then then see if
- 18:39Speaker 3: things don't get back that way, then I think it's
- 18:41Speaker 3: worth looking into more.
- 18:43Speaker 1: All right, Okay, there you go.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Thanks, all right, thank you, Well, well log it.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Doctor Josh Davis will see you in a couple of weeks.
- 18:51Speaker 5: Yep, we'll be here a couple weeks.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Thanks for being here, all right, See you guys.
- 18:54Speaker 4: Those of you still hanging on to talk to the doctor,
- 18:56Speaker 4: if you'd like to hang on and play be Gina,
- 18:58Speaker 4: let Katie know, all right,
