When you get blood work back on a pet (Cat), it’s about nine years old and it shows kidney failure it’s not always clear what’s going on. There’s another test or two that you’d run on a dog and there are some tests you could run on a cat. Actually, there are ways to spend thousands. Or, treat the treatable? Give this a listen.
The above does not constitute advice or replace the necessary input of your regular veterinarian within the confines of a VCPR. The above is as much a ‘document’ for the benefit of a particular client I sent to this, as it is to others who may face the same situation.
This is a well written description of how to give an insulin shot. It discusses “the bubble” and how to load the syringe. It doesn’t have doses but it does have “my favorite” type of dosing syringes etc. Continue reading Diabetes II: How to Give an Insulin Shot→
A mask may be necessary. Racing muzzles are pretty easy to put on. There are lots of kinds of masks.
Some people are like “Nuts to this, I know she has a right to complain but I’m not getting bitten over this” and let their dogs go. Depending on the ‘battle’ it is, I could be aligned to that thought process.

Old Dog Tremors – Is it Normal For My Dog’s Leg To Tremor?
Commonly we will see one or two limbs on a dog that simply tremor.
Key elements of a “Don’t Worry About It” response are:
1) Pet seems unaware
2) Happens upon some excitement
3) Pet acts perfectly normal in every other respect
4) It’s not constant at all. Maybe daily.
So, if (in the video) there was thunder, or if the dog was looking around terrified, then you know the tremor is “a thing”.
If the dog is just resting and looking at the TV then it’s ‘nothing’.
“Please wait in your car, call 770 977 5377 and we’ll call you there to bring your pet to the door at your appointed time. We’ll have him back to you in a short time (and sanitized) and you’ll get a call DURING or AFTER the appointment depending on the need for communication.”

The first download is the presentation for the hour on “Important Water Quality Issues” in which I do give some time to the nitrogen cycle and pH – – but spend the most of the time talking about the clinical significance of “hazes” and their cure, oxygen versus carbon dioxide, bioseeding, constant water replacement, how to measure nitrogen to best effect, crowding as a water quality parameter with room for questions.
It turns out your gastrointestinal germs have many more functions then they ever knew. Shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering we have lived with these beneficial germs for literally millions of years. Handed down from generation to generation, even.
Well, one of the metabolic processes driven by the germs in your intestine, happens to be anti-cancer. Have a listen.
Science has discovered, by identifying the tiny pieces of DNA from bacteria in our brains and muscles and organs, that we are absolutely swarming with germs that we depend on to live (Microbiome). We also know that antibiotics kill some of those germs, and we don’t even know what their function is. But we do know that there is one particular germ in the microbiome that influences the liver to produce anti-cancer enzymes. The purpose of this recording is to explain to you what they’ve learned about these mystery germs and what the impact is, in the discovery that we cannot grow or study 99% of the germs that make up our microbiome.
