Health Cafe where your Pet has a Voice.
7
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:42.159
And here's your host, Bill the Pet Health Guru, And
8
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.640
welcome to the Pet Health Cafe, the show where your
9
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.880
Pet has a Voice. This is Bill the Pet Health Guru,
10
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.799
and I'm doing another solo show tonight and a great
11
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:56.079
topic and hopefully we will get some new information out
12
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.320
to you on how to handle your pets and even
13
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.600
your loved one as well. As always, I asked you
14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.359
to like, share and subscribe so you don't miss anymore.
15
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.920
We got to keep these algorithms going up. I was
16
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.400
actually pleased this week. I met a client and our sponsor,
17
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.239
my Palaeo Pat and when I asked, you know where
18
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.920
they heard about them, they said on the Pet Health
19
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.079
Cafe online, the podcast on Apple And I said, well,
20
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.680
where are you from and they said Maryland, And just
21
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.239
wanted to give a shout out to them that you know,
22
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.719
I love it that we're being heard basically all over
23
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.079
the place, that this show is growing, growing, growing, on
24
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.400
all our different platforms, and I wanted us to keep
25
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.760
going in that direction. I want to keep trying to
26
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.519
give you you great content. I love the people that
27
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.319
watch and listen, and you know that's why I do it.
28
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.719
It's all for you. And with that being said, the
29
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.359
chat room is open, so you can throw your questions
30
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.200
and comments at me. I know quite often you're so
31
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.680
busy listening that typing can be quite hard. You don't
32
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.479
want to miss anything, and I'm glad of that. So
33
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.400
with that being said, I want to start here with
34
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.919
our topic today is basically diagnose this and symptoms. I'm
35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.680
going to kind of give you a lesson, if you will,
36
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.919
of basically what you need to be looking at for
37
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.400
your own pets and for your own family. But these
38
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.960
are also the same things that I expect a good practitioner,
39
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.000
whether it happens to be one of the assistants or
40
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.840
the doctors themselves, they need to be asking these questions
41
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.319
and being explaining this kind of stuff to you so
42
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.639
you can make good informed decisions on whether medical help
43
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:56.159
is really needed, whether it's veterinary or medical help for
44
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:01.159
you and your family. It's, you know, instead of just
45
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.240
being okay, bring your animal in or bring the patient in,
46
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.879
and it becomes about the money. And I find that
47
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.919
to be very very disturbing that so much of the
48
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.599
stuff that I see today and the things that I
49
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.159
hear in store and consultations are all about the money.
50
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:26.240
I also am very very distrusted with doctors, especially when
51
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:32.680
it comes to cancer or liver problems, basically pronouncing if
52
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.120
you will a checkout date. What I mean by a
53
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.240
checkout date that they're trying to predict how long your
54
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.319
dog is going to live to what you know, down
55
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:46.039
in sometimes days and weeks, and if you're a pedanter,
56
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.919
that's got to be completely completely draining on you and
57
00:03:52.639 --> 00:04:00.120
worrysome and confusing, confusing because you know, when you know,
58
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.879
if you follow the advice of them, possibly that's what
59
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.199
it's going to be. But usually at that point in time,
60
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.080
a lot of clients become desperate to save their pet,
61
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.079
and I'll be honest, quite often that's when I'm notified
62
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.120
to get involved. And you know, I hate to be
63
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.319
the bearer of bad news most of the time that
64
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.279
it's and it's not the bad news that yes, we're
65
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.240
going to lose this animal, but that yes, you are
66
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.079
going to see changes in their life that are dramatic,
67
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:40.560
life saving in many cases and completely the opposite of
68
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:44.600
what you've been told by the professionals. And of course
69
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.120
that creates a ton of confusion on you, as a
70
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.079
pet parent, the one paying the bills, as to well,
71
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.800
why wasn't I told this by the professional and why
72
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.759
was I charged so much for bad advice? And so
73
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.519
it's a manner of us having to look at the system,
74
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.600
look at really what's going on, break it down into small,
75
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.240
bite sized pieces where you can do much of the
76
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.800
legwork yourself before you have to ever engage in a
77
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:21.800
so called expert. Now, in starting this out, first off,
78
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:29.519
we have to learn to differentiate between disease and events.
79
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.720
A huge an example of this in that if you're,
80
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.480
for instance, blessed with an infant, a youngster, and a
81
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.879
puppy at the same time, and you know you're working
82
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:49.600
your full time jobs and your hectic lifestyle, and you've
83
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.160
got a caretaker that helps you out at the babysitter
84
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:58.519
house cheaper of whatever it happens to be, and it's
85
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.279
Friday afternoon, you're finished up. Finally, you're pulling the driveway.
86
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.079
You walk in the house. You want to settle down,
87
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.279
you want to relax, get rid of all the pain
88
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.399
and problems and trauma of the week. Just enjoy some
89
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:18.279
time with your fur baby and your real baby. And
90
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.759
you are greeted with this statement. Just want to let
91
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.560
you know before I leave. The dog has had diarrhea
92
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.480
all day long, and so has the baby. I don't
93
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.319
know why. I haven't seen any reasons why, but I
94
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.879
just want you to know that. So of course mom
95
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:44.040
dad runs into panic mode, semi panic mode. Anyway, Paul's
96
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:49.800
a pediatrician and they tell them, of course, okay, you know,
97
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.680
just kind of monitor it over the weekend. Make sure
98
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.360
there's plenty of liquids, fluids, if you feed, feed easily
99
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.519
digested foods, you know, things that are just going to
100
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.680
be easy on the digestive track. And if it's still
101
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.079
a problem on Monday morning, give us a call and
102
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.240
we will work you in. You an appointment Tuesday or Wednesday.
103
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.720
You hang up that phone, you dial the animal hospital.
104
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.480
My puppy has got diarrhea. I can guarantee you seventy
105
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.720
five percent of the time you are going to hear
106
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:29.480
these words, Oh my god, it's an emergency. You have
107
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.279
to bring them in right now. Of course, as soon
108
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.839
as they said it was an emergency or sent you
109
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.079
to an emergency clinic, you know that you've got a
110
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.160
five hundred to one thousand dollars bill already wrapped up
111
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.279
before you even get in a car. You get in,
112
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.720
the first thing they do is hook them up to ivs,
113
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.519
give them antibiotics, give them some a drug to help
114
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.279
plug up that diarrhea. They then have to give them
115
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.079
a because they gave antibiotics and that anti diarrheal drug
116
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.000
and which is normally a warmer. On top of that,
117
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.720
they also then have to prevent them from throwing up
118
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:12.759
vomiting those medications, so they give an anti vomiting medicine.
119
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.079
So we have just now captured all the toxins that
120
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.879
are in the body inside the body and have them
121
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.439
sitting there basically agitating the situation. They tell them, tell
122
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.759
you you have to leave them over the weekend. If
123
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.920
you're starting to tick off in your brain how many
124
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:34.639
dollars this is overnight stay round the clock tear which,
125
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.440
by the way, it normally isn't they normally go home
126
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.000
at night too, So your dog is just sleeping in
127
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.200
an unfamiliar place with a bunch of tubes and drugs
128
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.159
inside their body, and you know you're worried all weekend long.
129
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.120
Monday rolls around, you get a call to come pick
130
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.480
up your pet. You're handed a bag of drugs, probably
131
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.960
a specialty food that you're supposed to keep the mind
132
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.080
because that's the only thing that'll work to help stop
133
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:11.960
this horrible disease. Because you've been either diagnosed with IBD
134
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:18.639
IBS colitis some other form of these so called diseases,
135
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.639
and you put down your credit card and now it
136
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:29.240
is probably several thousand dollars loaded. Now, the interesting part
137
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.039
of this story is you had to pick the dog
138
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:38.720
up after school or after preschool, because your child that
139
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.080
was sick on the same day and had the same
140
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.440
symptoms was in school and actually on Saturday morning, was
141
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.279
outside playing. Because these were not diseases and it wasn't
142
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.840
treated as a disease on the human side, but it
143
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.840
was on the animal side, so the kids out playing,
144
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.759
it was an event, probably a one time thing. It
145
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.679
probably was the same thing on your pet. However, they
146
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:09.080
were treated totally differently. And this is where the big
147
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:14.919
disconnect comes about, because we're looking at on the veterinary side,
148
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.240
we're looking at this being an opportunity to capitalize and
149
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:25.000
make money. Now, essentially we have to then back up
150
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.519
and take a look at not only what the symptoms
151
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.639
were prior to this, if there were any, but on
152
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.240
the other side of it, they and themselves are symptoms
153
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.639
that something went wrong. Doesn't mean the animal's sick, doesn't
154
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.600
mean that your kid is sick. It means we did
155
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:49.039
something wrong along the way that put some sort of
156
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.200
toxin in the body of both of them, and of course,
157
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.559
because they're living together, it's probably the same toxin. There's
158
00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:00.159
a great chance of that happening. So we just have
159
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.279
to take that step back and realize it's an event
160
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.720
that the body is cleansing itself and what's it cleansing
161
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.159
itself out? Now, if you step and go back through,
162
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.159
you might find a hundred different things that happened. You
163
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.360
may have changed laundry detergents, you might have changed the
164
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.519
cleaning product that you've been using, and you have a
165
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.639
new cleaning person that came in and use a different chemical,
166
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.039
maybe a deodorizing spray. Maybe if you're a raw feater
167
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:33.039
like I am and I share my foods, maybe I
168
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.039
overdid it with this herber or spice, you know, but
169
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.919
it didn't affect us adults. So it's got to be
170
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.279
more focused and concentrated on these little, shall I say,
171
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.159
floor beings. You know, the baby's down on the floor,
172
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.159
the kids are down on the floor, the dog's down
173
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.480
on the floor. We're sitting up on the sofa even
174
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:57.279
watching TV. So good chance it could be something that
175
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.200
was done there. Maybe the puppy an accident and somebody
176
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.559
went in and scrubbed it with a detrigent and you know, again,
177
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.039
those fumes are right there at their nose level. The
178
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.679
plug ins same thing. Oh my god, when he had
179
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.080
the accident, it would just smelled so bad. So I
180
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:15.799
had to get rid of it. So I grabbed a
181
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.000
can of X y Z. All those chemicals are down
182
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:22.559
at the floor level. We actually created that problem and
183
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.440
didn't think twice about it and did not put it
184
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:31.080
into the equation of figuring out what's wrong. Now. The
185
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.120
fact of the matter is is we also jumped on
186
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:39.000
the symptom as quickly as we could, making a predetermination
187
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.720
that it is a disease or at least an illness
188
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.120
and not just an event of the body doing what
189
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.840
it's supposed to do exactly, and that can be quite
190
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:53.480
a costly decision, as you well know. So we have
191
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.039
to take that step back. Let's take a look. If
192
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.159
it's if it's happened been happening on a regular, long
193
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:04.039
term base, and it's chronic, then yes, we probably need
194
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.879
to look at something with a professional, whether it's a veterinarian,
195
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:12.200
whether it's a doctor, whether it's a practitioner, whether it's
196
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.879
you know, to you know, if you've got a good
197
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:22.480
holistic gloomer or nutrition store, something of that nature, they
198
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.799
maybe will help you out before you get into the
199
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.360
big bucks. But there's also a lot of things that
200
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.240
can go on, and you know it, the animals are
201
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.799
going to hide their symptoms a lot more than people do.
202
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.600
We have a tendency to complain about everything, where the
203
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.360
dog can't. You know, they hide it because that's the
204
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.919
nature of wild beasts. But again we have to look
205
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:47.000
at those symptoms and the causes of those symptoms as well.
206
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.919
You know, maybe you walk the dog in a different
207
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.480
place last night or this morning, or and it doesn't
208
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.039
have to be immediate. It could have been two days ago,
209
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.039
three days ago, four days ago. Switching. You know, what
210
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.440
are you feeding that has another major issue in this.
211
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.799
I mean, if you're feeding your children very good, and
212
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.919
you're feeding your pets the same diet day in day
213
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:14.679
out as is normally prescribed with these dry foods and
214
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.200
these canned foods, where the body from time to time
215
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.240
has got to get rid of the bad stuff that's
216
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.679
in it. So it's a natural part of the process
217
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.600
and this is just one part of it that we're
218
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.080
looking at. We're doing that stool check. You know, you're
219
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.840
supposed to check that stool every single days, make sure
220
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:34.000
that they're healthy. Well. On an average animal, it's going
221
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.679
to vary from day to day depending on what you
222
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:40.039
fed them. If you feed a lot more organ meat
223
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:45.559
or your blend your recipes contain that, or even sometimes
224
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.200
you know, depending on if you're home cooking, poultry will
225
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.840
sometimes have a tendency to make the stool softer. If
226
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.879
you're feeding a larger amount of bone like chicken wings
227
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.919
or beef, or pork rib bones or chicken necks, things
228
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.240
like that as a major portion of a meal, those
229
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.919
stools are going to be much much firmer, and they're
230
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.519
also going to be a different color when you look
231
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.440
at it. One of the most important things if your
232
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:19.600
dog vomits or has diarrhea or looser, funky stool, does
233
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.799
it look mucasy. If it does, that is actually proof
234
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:27.600
that the body is eliminating toxins. And the problem is,
235
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.039
unlike us, where we can blow our nose and cough
236
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.080
up the phlem and the mucus, dogs have to either
237
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.000
get rid of it and cats the same way. One
238
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.320
of two ways. It's either got to come out as
239
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:42.600
vomit or it's going to come out in the stool.
240
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.919
And again you have to take that step back and
241
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:51.799
ask yourself what could have possibly paused it that I did. Now,
242
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.679
there's a lot of other symptoms that can show up
243
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.320
besides that. When we're starting to do an evaluation on
