5
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.920
has a Voice. And here's your
host, Bill the Pet Health Guru,

6
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.600
and welcome to Pet Health Cafe to
show where you're it has a voice.

7
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.719
This is Bill the Pet Health Guru, along with my special guest host,

8
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:06.959
doctor Michael Damn. How are we
doing, Doc, Well, I'm doing

9
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.799
well, Bill, Just trying to
stay dry. Yeah. Yeah. The

10
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.120
rain just came through it out here
and they said it was heading up to

11
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:21.159
you, so I waved it goodbye. You know today several inches probably,

12
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.040
Oh it was where it was just
kind of a light rain down here.

13
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.120
Um, so it's you know,
you know, it could be sunny on

14
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.480
one street, drizzling on another,
and downpouring on the third street. Yeah.

15
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.519
Absolutely, that happens all the time. Um. It keeps things interesting

16
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.519
for us, doesn't it. Yeah. I mean, you know, some

17
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.599
of the animals, you know,
sense the electromagnetic changes in the atmosphere and

18
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.719
of course, like we've talked about
with the thunder um, Yeah, it

19
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.159
could be challenging for some animal guardians. Yeah, it really can be.

20
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.280
And of course this time of year, we go through it almost on a

21
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.519
daily basis, don't we. I
know, I don't think. I mean,

22
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.639
I don't remember in the past few
weeks a day where we didn't really

23
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.639
have some sort of storms of rain. You know. Sure, Yeah,

24
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.879
it's kind of crazy. Well,
so for a topic tonight, I've been

25
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.919
I don't know. I'm sure you'll
you'll be able to give your perspective on

26
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.319
this, but we're seeing and I
guess over an audio to you. Let

27
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.520
I guess it was the end of
last week. What's with all the dogs

28
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.960
and catch with the coffee and sneezing
and you know, the respiratory issues.

29
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.360
What's going on? Well, I
think you know what you've talked about,

30
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:49.080
you know your perspective. You know, certainly it has to do with a

31
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.439
lot of the irritants in the air
and toxins, both in the air and

32
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.840
in the environment. You know,
certainly irritants and especially when the when the

33
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.319
weather is so stagged and you know, and there's so much humidity and again

34
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.800
stagnant air. Sometimes I think that
leads to a lot of you know,

35
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.199
a lot of symptoms, respiratory symptoms
and our animals. Yeah, and of

36
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.879
course, you know kennors, I
mean, most of them seem to go

37
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.039
into full panic mode, don't they. Yeah. Yeah. And then of

38
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.759
course this time of year, you
know, people are traveling, so they're

39
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.919
often boarding their animals and kennels and
unfortunately, you know a lot of these

40
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.879
even holistic clients are forced to vaccinate
their animals and you know, just you

41
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.560
know, to get into these places, and that leads to a weakening of

42
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.840
the immune system, and then you
get the stress and the crowding and the

43
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.599
and the you know, the new
environment, and then you have animals breaking

44
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:52.000
down with upper respiratories and kennel cough
very very common again this time of year

45
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.360
especially, Yeah. And you know, you know some of the other things

46
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.240
too, is in some of these
kennels and that sort of thing, the

47
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.240
noise levels and you know, the
change of staff and personnel and missing mommy

48
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.000
and daddy I think, and the
air quality. You know, if you

49
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:11.000
ever go into these facilities, just
you know, the circulation of air is

50
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:16.959
often very inadequate. You know,
they're often warm against stagnant air environments without

51
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.040
appropriate circulation, and you know,
it leads to stress. And uh,

52
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.560
you know, we see these animals
breaking down with these respiratory ailments. And

53
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.319
you know, at this time of
year, animals are being vaccinated too,

54
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.800
so more than they are maybe at
other times a year because people have to

55
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.920
quote unquote boarding them or kennel them. And again that's going to lead to

56
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.680
you know, weak immune systems,
and you throw the stress in and there

57
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.199
we go. So I think,
you know, it's all these factors that

58
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:55.439
you talk about. It's environmental allergens
and irritants and toxins and the air and

59
00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.360
uh, you know, the airway
is a defense mechanism, is an important

60
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.079
part of the immune system of our
animals. And so it's right, yeah,

61
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.480
yeah, and no, it's interesting
the air movement and everything else,

62
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.079
because it was one of the main
things that I had learned one of the

63
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.040
college, you know, even with
fire animals and you know, dealing with

64
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.959
barns and things of that nature.
And going back, this is going back

65
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.920
almost fifty years ago. We were
doing a store, you know, because

66
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.040
back then pet chops curried all kinds
of livestock, you know, everything from

67
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.279
exotics to dogs and cats and birds
and stuff like that. And they were

68
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:38.199
doing a new build out for us
and Total contractor. We needed ventilation in

69
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:43.959
the you know, in it our
enclosed glass room where basically we keep almost

70
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:49.000
all the livestock except for the fish. And so they okay, no problem,

71
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:58.800
and I walk in and they're putting
in a basically a bathroom fan in

72
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:03.480
the wall. I said, no, we need air flow, right,

73
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:11.199
a real air flow, you know. And of course our houses are the

74
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.319
same way too in the summertime,
aren't they. I mean, we don't

75
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.920
have necessarily good, good air circulation
in our homes. No, no,

76
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.120
not at all, And of course
that's going to lead to you know,

77
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.199
the temperatures are so hot outside and
the air conditionings are on, and you

78
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.959
know, often people aren't changing their
filters on the air conditioning, and you

79
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.800
know, all that particulate matter in
the air just is a tremendous stress on

80
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:40.120
our animals and again leads to all
sorts of respiratory symptoms, like you said,

81
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.920
from nasal congestion to coughing and hacking. And you know, and I

82
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:51.600
had a patient this past week who's
been who developed acute respiratory distress that unfortunately

83
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.560
needed to go in I think it
was a mutual client of ours, and

84
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.040
unfortunately you had to go into the
local conventional vent for even oxygen there because

85
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.839
it was under such tremendous stress.
And you know, I was trying to

86
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:10.839
counsel her and and and you had, you know, implemented an herbal program

87
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.639
and I was trying to counsel her
homeopathically, but it just it became overwhelming,

88
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.439
and in this particular case, the
animal needed you know, some oxygen

89
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:25.680
and you know that was that severe. Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's

90
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.759
that's amazing. UM. You know
that that that happens, and it's um

91
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.360
it's it's an interesting just an interstring
part to this that I found out this

92
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:41.360
week because I was I was dealing
with UM a client that's also in the

93
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.639
air conditioning business, and I've had
some challenges. Everybody's been having challenges here

94
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.399
in South Florida because the temperature is
so hot, and you know, the

95
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:54.720
average air conditioner, even the bigger
units, are are only designed to basically

96
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.759
drop down a temperature between twenty and
thirty degrees and when you're hitting temperatures of

97
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.079
a undred. You know, it's
you know, you're gonna be your house

98
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.040
and your areas are going to go
to be in you know, in many

99
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.040
cases in the high seventies, you
know, depending on the age of the

100
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.439
machine and that sort of thing.
So it's it's not not that great.

101
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.639
But one of the little secrets this
guy's been around is actually third generation in

102
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.480
the business. And he says one
of the things that he tricks that he

103
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.680
learned, um, a lot of
these new filters for your AC units.

104
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.360
Uh, you know, they're all
anti you know, anti germ, anti

105
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.039
bacterial. They're trying to figure you
know, trying to filter down to a

106
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:46.720
micron and there it's the filtering material
is so dense that it actually reduces down

107
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.759
your air flow by as much as
fifty percent. And it's like, you

108
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.639
know, just get to you know, get the cheap old ones because they

109
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.639
hold up. You know, you're
gonna get more circulation. Your AC is

110
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.840
not going to work as hard,
um, so you're gonna you and your

111
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.679
pets are going to be more comfortable. Um. And of course you know,

112
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.039
talking to me about that, it's
like, yeah, if you've got

113
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.519
a strong immune system, it's not
going to make any difference, is it.

114
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.360
No, not at all. But
a lot of these animals are so

115
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.279
challenged, you know, just through
their lifestyle of course, and that leads

116
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.279
to you know, these symptoms that
we're saying, especially this time, yeah,

117
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.679
um, you know, and doing
some prep for this, you know,

118
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:33.000
it was looking you know, to
some of the overviews on respiratory problems,

119
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.399
that sort of thing. And of
course, I think the biggest thing

120
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.440
um that we in that I encounter
because I'm not usually doing an exam on

121
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.000
an animal, but is that they
come in and they get this piece of

122
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.720
paper that they're waving around from the
veterinarian and you know, um, first

123
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.440
off, how many different respiratory diseases
do they have today? Yeah, I

124
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.840
mean both dogs ending for cats.
Yeah, it's astronomical, and it's growing

125
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.840
by leaps and bounds as they more
try to fine tune the pathogens that are

126
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.080
involved. And you know, to
me, that's all, you know,

127
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.039
Garble, it doesn't change how we
manage them holistically. But like you said,

128
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:22.720
it's a it's an increasing laundry list
of various bacterion viruses that they're discovering

129
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.120
or they're finding out causes problems,
and they focus on those elements of the

130
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.320
problem, and of course you and
I are focusing on the animal side of

131
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.159
the issue, trying to build up
the immune system, strengthen the vitality,

132
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.960
lower the susceptibility to you know,
so that they don't get sick. Yeah,

133
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.879
um, you know what you know. So, so the average client

134
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.799
was into the animal hospital, um
with the dog with a cough? What

135
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.559
is it? What is a normal
What would be a normal work up in

136
00:10:52.600 --> 00:11:01.080
an allopathic setting? Well, um, depending upon the results of an exam.

137
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.320
Usually it depends if the animal has
a history of frequenting you know,

138
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.399
these boarding facilities and dogie hotels.
They'll often just diagnose presumptively, you know,

139
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.919
kennel cough complex and they might put
them on antibiotics and costs suppressence,

140
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.039
you know, to a condition that
is basically self limiting in about a week

141
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.919
to ten days. Animals are going
to get better from these upper respiratory issues

142
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.279
that they have, irrespective of what
treatment is given. And so my colleagues

143
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:37.759
are often giving strong antibiotics when they're
not even needed or and it's a misuse

144
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.559
of antibiotics and can lead to all
sorts of resistance, which becomes a problem.

145
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.480
So you know, that's the first
thing that they do when you have

146
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.919
an animal that has uh, you
know, let's say a hacking cough or

147
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.600
a goose hong type cough and these
little toy breeds um. You know,

148
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.399
that's that's one angle. And as
I mentioned, you know, frequently on

149
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:05.159
the show, it's often these vaccinated
animals that are you know, getting kennel

150
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.360
cough vaccines up their nose or orally
down their throat, where you know,

151
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.799
you're getting a bombardment of the immune
system with all sorts of you know,

152
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:20.159
bacterial components and other aguments in the
vaccine. And I tell you built these

153
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.039
animals, it's not just those particular
animals. Sometimes it's not an acute cough.

154
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.639
It becomes chronic, and especially these
little breeds where they're getting these vaccines,

155
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.240
and so even though they might be
treated with antibiotics and cought suppressants,

156
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.720
they're coming in later with chronic coughs
or new diagnoses. And so you know,

157
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.639
that's the acute infectious kind of situation. And then we get other animals

158
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.879
that present with let's say shortness of
breath coughing that I might have a heart

159
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.240
murmur, and those particular animals are
going to be usually having you know,

160
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.879
possibly X rays to look at the
lungs on the size of the heart,

161
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.399
and depending upon what the findings are
that determine the allopathic workup. You know,

162
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:07.559
some of those animals then are getting
strong cost suppressants or again antibiotics,

163
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.039
always drugs to dilate the airways.
And then of course we have the series

164
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.000
of heart medications if heart disease is
diagnosed, and so that kind of is

165
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.919
and then you get the allergy quote
unquote animals with the you know, the

166
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.679
nasal discharge and the eye discharges and
the sneezing, and even though again most

167
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.320
of those conditions aren't bacterial, again, my colleagues just don't know what else

168
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.399
to do with them. And again
the antibiotics come out, even though they're

169
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.639
not indicated most of the time.
I know, it's it's but I mean,

170
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:50.720
in most most of my experience,
most of the time, you know,

171
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.480
there isn't a very specific type of
test that most veterinarians are doing,

172
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.720
is there? No? No?
I mean, you know, we learned

173
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.960
our meetings to do um nasal swabs
and cultures and all of that, but

174
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.960
you know, by the time those
tests come back, the animals already either

175
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.360
better or you know, onto other
things. So yeah, that's what I

176
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.360
was gonna say. You do a
swab and you know, you have to

177
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.799
culture it out. It's what three
to five days normally, and in many

178
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:26.759
of these cases it's gone. But
in many of these cases too, the

179
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:33.480
yellopathics are going ahead and giving one
of these um you know, internasal vaccines,

180
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:41.759
you know, with the actual um
you know pathogens right there. Um,

181
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.320
that's why they cough. I mean, I you know, the kennel

182
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.799
call vaccine. I mean I don't
believe in any of them. Um,

183
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.440
you know, the vaccines are as
a group, but um, the kennel

184
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.039
caught vaccine, like you said,
goes up the nose, you know.

185
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.399
I find it causes you know,
the disease and a lot of these animals,

186
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.679
and again it can become chronic and
some of these, especially toy breeds.

187
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.159
Yeah, it's it's it's interesting because
you know, I look back in

188
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.759
I guess it's been god probably fifteen
twenty years ago or so. And you

189
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.159
know, veterinarian you know, animal
clinics used to do a lot more boarding

190
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.720
than they do now unless it's set
up as a separate facility. But you

191
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.159
know, you hit the holiday weekends
and that sort of thing. You know

192
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.759
that I was getting orders for you
know, I need an extra twenty crates

193
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.039
and they were stacking him, you
know, four high, five high in

194
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.000
the exam rooms because it was a
good cash cow for them, and the

195
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.120
owners will be coming in. And
of course the first thing that you know,

196
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.759
if you had your you know,
bordetella vaccine, oh my god.

197
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.600
No, well okay, now you
and I know that it's not going to

198
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.960
give me, give any protection for
several several days, if not weeks,

199
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.039
if it's going to give any protection
at all. And so they said,

200
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.919
well, we'll just take care of
it. And of course, you know,

201
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.919
it gets attacked on the bill right
away, and of course they do

202
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.000
it. And you know, people
are away for a week, ten days,

203
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.679
two weeks, and they come back
and they're handed a bill for boarding

204
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:15.120
and here's the veterinary bill for treating
kennel costs right that they actually give to

205
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.679
them, right, and you know, now build these boarding facilities. You

206
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.480
know, which makes them more susceptible
to the respiratory issues is now they're requiring

207
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:29.559
other vaccines other than board to tello. They're requiring leptospirosis, which is a

208
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.960
real rarity, and the influenza vaccine. And so these animals are coming into

209
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.399
the allopathic clinic getting bombarded, not
dressed with boarda tella, but with all

210
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.519
these other vaccines. And it's the
combination or as Pat Jordan calls them,

211
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:51.000
the wombo combos right weak in the
immune system and lead to you know,

212
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.559
all sorts of trouble. Yeah,
yeah, And like you said, you

213
00:16:53.559 --> 00:17:00.080
start combining that sometimes changes in diet
and you know the rest of being away

214
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.279
all of that, and you've literally
got animals crashing, don't you Yeah,

215
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:10.759
yeah, I mean, and again
in the kennel environment, it's not just

216
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:15.559
the respiratory symptoms, it's you know, also we see you know, tremendous

217
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:22.519
diarrhea and digestive symptoms um you know, and other organ system issues. So

218
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.880
it's a very stressful environment. And
when we have stress, we have weakened

219
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:32.880
immune systems. And then we have
you know, these quote unquote infecist organisms

220
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:37.000
being injected and being snorted up the
nose. And there's no reason why we

221
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.200
had no wonder why we have you
know, outbreaks and sick animals when people

222
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.160
pick them up, right, And
of course, you know, the other

223
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.480
thing that contributes to that, especially
in these facilities is what are they using

224
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:56.400
for cleaning, disaffecting, deodorizing.
You know, I'm sure that they're not

225
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:03.640
using you know, mother nature,
you know, and you know most you

226
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.880
know, so many of these facilities
too, there's no access to the outside.

227
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.400
You know, sunshine is probably one
of the best disinfectants that in the

228
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.079
in the universe. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah. So so you've got this

229
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.920
whole batch of stuff going on.
And of course we you know, we've

230
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:30.480
we've covered a lot here on primarily
our canine um companions, but cat facilities

231
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.759
can be a lot tougher on the
fee line. We got a minute and

232
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.759
a half here before the break,
so I don't want to get in too

233
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:45.119
heavily into it. But um,
again, how many different respiratory problems do

234
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.319
cats have? Oh? Yeah,
it's it's uh, they've got all these

235
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:56.400
respiratory disease complex and again, most
of these cats are being vaccinated with organisms

236
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.440
that are already probably in their bodies
or for example, a lot of these

237
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.680
cats or have hidden herpes virus in
their bodies. You know, and when

238
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:11.079
they and they're being vaccinated for feline
herpes, they're in being injected with organisms

239
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.640
that a lot of these animals already
have in their bodies and are what we

240
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.200
call latent or dormant. And so
when that happens, you have these kitties

241
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:23.920
break down with you know, tremendous
upper respiratory issues, eye hulsers again,

242
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:29.599
nasal discharge, congestion, and those
can be very difficult. Those can be

243
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.519
very difficult to get rid of in
our kiddies. And again, what we

244
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:40.039
do is we in conventional medicine,
we go to antibiotics and antihistamines and decongestuts

245
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:45.720
that don't really address the underlying cause. Yeah, it's it's it's just really

246
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.519
amazing that you know, to try
to save an animal you have to basically

247
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.119
break down their body. It's this
doesn't make any sense, and you know,

248
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.000
you know, well we can get
into a lot more of that read

249
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:12.920
for this quick break. We all

Back here on the Pet Health Cafe to

266
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.359
show where your pas voice this is
build a pet Health gurgle with doctor Michael

267
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.599
dam Now in describing what we first
started at here, and we want to

268
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.519
get into cats a little bit more. But one of the things I didn't

269
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:11.200
hear that allopathic doctors understand or even
mentioned, is when you get these topsins,

270
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.440
especially in the well anywhere in your
body for that matter, it creates

271
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.359
a lot of extra mucus to wall
it off, doesn't it. Absolutely,

272
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.599
And that's the defense strategies of the
body. You know, the mucus,

273
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:29.000
the cilia, which are the lining
hair like part of hair like substances along

274
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:33.319
the airways. You know, you
get an excessive production of mucus from that

275
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.559
those cells lining the airways, and
it becomes problematic. Yeah, it's obviously

276
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.599
going to it's going to restrict,
you know, some of the airflow and

277
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:48.039
things like that. But the sneezing
and coughing, that's basically the animal trying

278
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.720
to get rid of that, isn't
it. Yeah, it's the way the

279
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:53.160
body is trying to do it.
And you know, allopaths come in and

280
00:22:53.240 --> 00:23:00.839
are attempting to dry those discharges up
excessively and suppress that response, and so

281
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:06.279
in my experience, that just drives
the disease in deeper to the body,

282
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:11.279
and so we often see this cycle
where animals start with upper respiratory sneezing and

283
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:17.160
maybe some mild coughing. When they're
suppressed. Then we get into you immune

284
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:21.880
diseases lower down in the airways.
Just like children when they're treating for respiratory

285
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.279
infections with antibiotics and for ear infections, a lot of those children end up

286
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.759
with asthma, you know, which
is a more serious condition down lower in

287
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.720
the airways. And we see the
same thing in our animals. You know,

288
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.599
we see cats that get these vaccines
and that are suppressed, and the

289
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.079
next thing you know, you have
a wheezing asthmatic cat. So you know,

290
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:48.519
basically they're not you know, the
approach is not that you're using something

291
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:55.680
to clean out the mucus itself,
but suppressing the production of it, which

292
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.599
that those toxins are going to go
much much deeper into the body, aren't

293
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.119
they. Yeah, yeah, that's
what happens. And then you get again

294
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.279
deeper immune disease, as I said, at the level of the bronchi or

295
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.519
the alveoli, which are the little
little cells down deep in the airways.

296
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:18.599
And you know, lung pathology is
a lot more serious than upper respiratory issues.

297
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.880
And so yeah, we have to
be real careful not to suppress that

298
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.160
mucus to an excessive degree. You
want to generally clean it out and use

299
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:33.720
medications to help the body. I'm
sorry about that. And you know,

300
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:41.720
the excessive use of these drugs really
you know, causes all sorts of complications.

301
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.920
Bill, Well, you know another
part of that that I you know,

302
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:52.200
I've realized for a long time is
so many medications are actually infect Almost

303
00:24:52.240 --> 00:25:02.519
all medication have got high toxic you
know characteristics, and that would actually normally

304
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.160
cause the body to make more mucus
throughout, wouldn't it. Yeah, yeah,

305
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.400
absolutely, That's why we you know, I know, when we get

306
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:15.200
into therapeutics, you know, we
want to look at other alternatives to these

307
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:21.279
same class of drugs that just really
just you know, weaken those defense strategies

308
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:26.000
of the body and lead to more
problems. Absolutely. Yeah. Um.

309
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:29.720
And of course you know when we
started looking at this too, when we

310
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.119
started off, you know at the
end of the last segment about about the

311
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.160
kiddies to the cats, the feline
population, Um, there are a lot

312
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:42.880
more difficult to treat because number one, they're you know they're basically I'll get

313
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.880
carnivores, and you know we've been
feeding a bunch of junkie food that's addictive.

314
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.160
How do you how do you get
medications into them on a regular basis

315
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.559
that are actually gonna work? Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with

316
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.680
you. Build a drug that's really
taken off in the allopathic world, is

317
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.519
which a lot of cat owners probably
are familiar with when they go to the

318
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:11.000
local vet and if it's guy a
kiddy's diagnosed with a quote unquote infectious diseases,

319
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:17.319
the long acting antibiotic Convenient, which
a single shot last for two weeks,

320
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.759
and actually the residues of that drug
last for sixty five days in the

321
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.720
animal, sixty five days. And
that drug is not even effective against the

322
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:32.599
bacteria overgrowth that might be occurring in
the upper respiratory tract or the lungs.

323
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.200
But yet, you know, like
you said, cats are hard to get

324
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:40.200
medications. In my colleagues, you
know, the advancements in allopathic medicine come

325
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:42.880
up with drugs like this, and
that drug has caused all sorts of other

326
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:49.000
chronic issues and some animals from organ
failure to seizures and all because they're trying

327
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:56.319
to find you a clever way of
getting a drug into these animals. Yeah,

328
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.480
I mean, that's really really amazing. And I know, you know,

329
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:06.279
we we you know, we have
challenges obviously with even with herbals and

330
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:11.720
botanicals and things like that, and
you probably do with with homeopathic remedies the

331
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:18.279
same way. But I learned a
few secrets along the way, and you

332
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:25.519
know, my fifty plus years in
this industry that cats have a unique defense

333
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:30.160
system, if you will, that
makes it actually a lot easier to get

334
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.519
some of these things into them.
And basically, you know, one of

335
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.160
the things I use for especially respiratory
things that's going to soothe the throat,

336
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.480
help break down some of the mucus
is a natural antibiotic is raw honey,

337
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:47.279
and I find it if I mix
it with liquor sh root it's even more

338
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:52.200
effective. Or seamoss. Seamoss is
another good one. Irish moss is what

339
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.720
we usually use. But you know, who wants to take and put some

340
00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:59.440
honey on their finger and stick it
in the mouth in the mouth of a

341
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:04.440
cat um Very difficult, it really
is. You know, hopefully you end

342
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:10.720
up keeping your finger um and for
a while I work with wildlife, and

343
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:12.279
we were working with a lot of
big cats, and it's like, how

344
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:17.279
do you do this? Well,
if you mix these things in, and

345
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.279
you probably can do the same thing
with some of your homeopathic remedies. But

346
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.680
I think the herbs and I mix
it in with the honey, and then

347
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:30.440
I smear it on their foot,
and of course can't. There's one of

348
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.920
their unique defense mechanisms. They don't
want any they don't want to be dirty,

349
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.200
you know, so they lick it
all off, so they just ingested

350
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.680
the whole thing. Yeah, it's
a clever way. I really like that.

351
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:47.599
You know, with homeopathic remedies,
you often have clients dissolve the pellets

352
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:51.880
and a little bit of water and
kind of use a syringe to get it

353
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.640
in because it doesn't have any taste
or flavor. So it's right, it's

354
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.559
a little less challenging. And with
remedies, all the remedies have to do

355
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:04.319
is contact the gums or the lip
or the mucosa area of the oral cavity,

356
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.160
and it's dosed immediately on contact.
And you know, I'm sure some

357
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.880
of the audience might not be familiar
with it, but homeopathic remedies don't have

358
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.880
to circulate through the bloodstream and go
to the various organs. They're actually effective

359
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.079
on contact because it's an energetic influence
on the animal. So it's a little

360
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.039
bit different. Yeah, And I
mean you get some of the same same

361
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.720
effects with you know, obviously some
of the rubles and extural things since they're

362
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.799
and you're related. I just sat
comment up up there that ask about catnip

363
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:40.640
um. It's you know, adding
catnip can help out a lot. First

364
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:45.200
of all, cat most people don't
realize, is a digestive aid. It

365
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.000
actually helps settle this, you know, the whole digestive track. So you're

366
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:55.400
going to get better absorption of nutrients, which is going to increase the overall

367
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.799
health, isn't it. Yeah,
catton NEPs are wonderful, you know,

368
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.599
like you said, you know comp
and the only thing with catnip and homeopathic

369
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.200
remedies is, you know, because
it's got such a strong odor and effect

370
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.279
on their sometimes on their nervous system
a little bit makes them more a little

371
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.839
more goofy. It can affectopathic remedies. And so when we use homeopathy,

372
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:22.759
one particular one particular nutrient that we
are plant that we trying to avoid this

373
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.240
cat nip unfortunately in those cas you
know, but as I'm sure in the

374
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:32.240
herbal world, it certainly plays a
strong role in helping. Yeah. Well

375
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:33.400
one of the other things too,
I mean, because they're asking about a

376
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.279
catnip and just get the kind of
a side note there, Um, cat

377
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:48.519
nip u is also anti parasite.
Is actually a parasite repellent. Um.

378
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.680
That's why cats like the role and
it nets the thing because they know that

379
00:30:52.680 --> 00:31:00.359
that helps keep them flee free and
parasite free on the ectope parasites and for

380
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:07.839
i know decades now, um and
dealing in rescues and that kind of situations

381
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:12.240
of course, you know, Um, especially on Farrell's you'll get kittens,

382
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:15.880
you know, as as young as
a day two days, three days old.

383
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:22.759
They are just loaded with with fleas
and you can't use any conventional product

384
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.279
on them. But cat nip tea
is actually safe enough to use on these

385
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:32.559
day old kittens. Um, you
know, yeah, it's one of the

386
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:38.079
it's I mean, it's just it's
properties of such that that's exactly what it

387
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.400
does. And of course, when
when we look at the whole men family

388
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:48.960
as well, Um, tradition you
know, um in in folk medicine and

389
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.720
uh that sort of thing. You
know, you see life stuck, and

390
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.319
you see wild animals that will find
a patch of peppermint or spearmint or any

391
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.279
of the men family and then they're
rolling it and really see those those natural

392
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:07.680
oils and you know they're you know, they're they're a lot healthier, you

393
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.599
know, how to medicate themselves.
Interesting. Yeah, well we talk about

394
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:15.599
that all the time. When animals, you know, go for the herbs

395
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.119
and then when they don't need them
anymore, they stop ingesting them, so

396
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.039
they know what's best for their bodies
and they gravitate towards you know, those

397
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.599
herbs that are healing at the right
time, at the appropriate time. It's

398
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:31.480
a very past topic. Yeah,
I mean, um, compared to what

399
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.400
we look at in allopathic medicine.
Uh, these dogs and cats should have

400
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:40.559
you know, triple PhD shouldn't.
Yeah, that's a good way to put

401
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.839
it, absolutely, you know.
And and it's interesting when we look at

402
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:52.559
these these different herbs and botanicals especially
UM. I heard I was talking with

403
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:59.480
somebody and they were talking about,
um, how the Native Americans uh,

404
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:04.400
in their medicine and extra thing and
other cultures as well, that no matter

405
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:08.000
where you go on the face of
the earth, there is something that is

406
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:14.880
going to um do exactly the same
thing, get rid of the same symptoms,

407
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:19.480
get rid of the same diseases,
the same parasites. And it's been

408
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:24.480
it's distributed throughout the whole globe.
And that's you know, that's by design.

409
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:29.359
I'm sorry that it has to be
by design. Yeah, yeah,

410
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:37.200
good point. You know, homeopathy, we've got wonderful remedies for upper respiratory

411
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:44.720
diseases and kennel cough remedy called spongy
a toasta, another one called Joe Sarah

412
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:51.799
wonderful remedies for acute kennel cough hep
ourself as another one bryonia, And that,

413
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.480
of course, the selection of these
remedies is based upon how the individual

414
00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:00.240
symptoms of the patient are manifesting.
So we could, you know, whether

415
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:06.759
the cough is worse at night or
worse or better from drinking water or getting

416
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:12.360
up, or worse with excitement,
and then those individual characteristics determine which remedy,

417
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.000
you know, we choose, and
often, you know, with the

418
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:21.639
homeopathic remedies, it's amazing how quickly
these respiratory symptoms resolve. It's amazing.

419
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.360
Yeah. Um yeah, I'm just
looking up a couple of things here,

420
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:31.199
but um, there's a lot of
things on the internet too, as far

421
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:42.039
as um that cats are susceptible to
more fungal type upper respiratory problems, right

422
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:47.880
right, Yeah, it just you
know what you know, maybe you know

423
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.239
there's obviously they're closer to the ground, and you know, you get the

424
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:55.239
you know, a lot of fungus
and molds and stuff like mold toxicity in

425
00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.079
the home, right, animals a
tremendously affected by and cats, like you

426
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:05.000
said, being closer to the to
the floor, and you know, having

427
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:09.719
smaller bodies are much more susceptible to
the toxic effects of fun guide exactly.

453
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.880
here on the Pet Health Cafe to
show where your pet his voice. This

454
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.760
is Bill the Pet health Guru along
with doctor Michael Dim now to answer the

455
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.360
question that had popped up just at
in front of the break there. Yes,

456
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.800
cat nip is anti bacterial, antifungal
um and has a lot of other

457
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:54.159
traits along with that. Um,
so it's you know, um obviously in

458
00:37:54.480 --> 00:38:00.559
natural circles they are using cat nip
um you know, then down some of

459
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:07.119
these especially these so called fungal type
respiratory problems. And so it is.

460
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.480
It is another way to use it. And of course cat let's face it,

461
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:14.480
they like the cat nip absolutely,
yeah, yeah, they really love

462
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:16.639
it. They roll in it,
like I said, and they get a

463
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:21.239
little goofy. I Mean, the
only rare side effect I've seen with too

464
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:24.360
much cat inip is in sensitive animals
that can stimulate them so much. Is

465
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:29.239
rarely you can see a seizure.
But for the most part, it's it's

466
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:31.920
very very safe. Right. Well, yeah, but again, it's just

467
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:35.679
like everything else that we talk about. You want to make sure that you're

468
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:39.639
getting good, clean, organic,
you know, raised cat nip, you

469
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:43.599
know, because some of the stuff
that's out there. Um, I mean

470
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:46.320
I've seen products on the market that
are labeled catnip that have so little cat

471
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:51.559
nip. You know, Yeah,
my cat didn't like it. It's like,

472
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:55.039
yeah, because it's not cat neip, right right. And you know

473
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:59.320
there's so many like you're going through
so many herbs, and there's you know,

474
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.360
our lick and simple things like lemon, lemon juice water, I mean,

475
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.679
anti natural products that we can turn
to that instead of these strong drugs

476
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:16.920
that really assist the body in overcoming
these quote unquote pathogens. Yeah. Well,

477
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:20.400
you know the other thing that I
think we should touch on here,

478
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:24.519
you know, while we're doing while
we're in here, is when your pet

479
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:30.199
does come down with one of these
respiratory issues and you know you you ended

480
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:34.840
up at the emergency rumor the allopathic
fat netswort of thing, and you've got

481
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:42.480
the drugs in the body. It's
vital to start take that step back first

482
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:46.280
off and look at you know,
the nutritional plan that you're on. Is

483
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.159
your animal getting the highest level of
nutrition that they can to build up that

484
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.360
immune system. And then secondly,
once a drug goes in, we have

485
00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:59.480
to do something. You and I
have to do something to try to remove

486
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:02.920
all those toxins, don't we Yeah, yeah, we absolutely do. And

487
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:08.480
again in homeopathy, you know the
number one detox remedy that we have that

488
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:13.639
we use often in those type of
cases is nux vomica. Yeah, always

489
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:20.760
comes in. Everybody thinks that's just
for vomiting because of the name. It's

490
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:24.800
probably the most prescribed homeopathic remedy bill
for so many different conditions, but one

491
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:32.000
of its primary uses is the over
medicated, over drugged animal that's hypersensitive.

492
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:37.239
And it's amazing the results you can
see with nux vomica across all of these

493
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:42.800
different clinical conditions, which shows how
much role the drugs and the medications play

494
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.800
in the symptoms of these animals.
I'll never forget I had a case many

495
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.840
years ago that slightly off the topic
for a second case many years ago,

496
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:52.599
where the animal came to me.
The client came to me with a record

497
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.840
that was as thick as almost the
whole book. It was a two year

498
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.639
old little poodle that had gone to
pen and was being treated for all sorts

499
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:07.360
of different systemic issues with every medication
known to man. And the client was

500
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:08.800
new to homeopathy. And I look
at the record, I'm like, oh

501
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:14.239
my god, look at all these
drugs and medicines and and toxic effects.

502
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:17.519
And all I did was give them
remedy nux vomica and all the symptoms went

503
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:22.159
away. Just amazing, showing how
much symptoms are due to the drugs.

504
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:28.519
Yeah, yeah, it's exactly right. You know. It's it's our job

505
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.320
as pet parents too, you know, do the best job we can,

506
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:37.280
and that means digging in deep and
learning about diet, learning about behavior,

507
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.880
you know, getting as much history
you can. And I know, with

508
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:49.000
all the push for you know,
rescue and stuff like that, it's it's

509
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.280
tough for us to get any kind
of real histories, except you know,

510
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:54.880
the real recent stuff, especially on
a rescue, isn't it. Yeah,

511
00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:59.599
Yeah, the rescue those animals are
getting a lot of those animals are coming

512
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:05.119
from you know, you know,
homes that you don't really have the histories,

513
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:10.280
or they're coming from rescue operations,
from animals rescued from storms, and

514
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.519
so you know, it's very little
history to go on. Yeah, I

515
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:20.280
mean, you know, we did
a show several weeks ago on the challenges

516
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.840
of rescue and that's the thing.
And you know, I encourage everybody,

517
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.079
you know, as we always do
in the show, is to like it,

518
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:30.400
to share it, and to subscribe
and go back and look at some

519
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:34.000
of the archives shows that we've had. I mean, we've had some we've

520
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:40.599
had some amazing guests. We've gotten
some really really deep discussions with you know,

521
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.079
different approaches and things like that.
So, I mean, you and

522
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:52.840
I are always looking for, you
know, the alternative things, not looking

523
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:58.119
for Okay, what new drug did
the drug salesmen bring into me today?

524
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:02.280
Right? Right? And that's uh. And that's an never expanding arsenal of

525
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:07.760
medications and drugs. You know,
it's that are coming out by the by

526
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.599
the month, by the you know, it's just to keep up with them.

527
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:15.880
It's so difficult. Yeah, you
know, it's funny because even when

528
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:20.519
we started the h my paleopad.
Of course, before that us to pet

529
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:24.440
delhi U, doctor Diane, my
old partner, and I used to joke

530
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:31.440
around because whatever disease was featured in
the veterinary journals that month, and it's

531
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:37.000
it's amazing too that they all seem
to have the same the same approach for

532
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:40.440
something brand new that's all of a
sudden, you know, almost a pandemic,

533
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:46.039
isn't it. So we were joking
around it it's the Disease of the

534
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:51.119
Month club. Yeah, yeah,
I'll tell you one disease I wanted to

535
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:54.159
mention earlier that you know I see
as a homeopath, Well, we see

536
00:43:54.199 --> 00:44:00.119
in a lot of these animals is
the quote unquote reverse sneeze syndrome, and

537
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:05.679
where the animals have like their throat
is just like constricted and there's a and

538
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:10.159
there's a backwards weeze that or clients
are often very disturbed by. Often it'll

539
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:14.840
typically go away in a short period
of time. But the number one cause

540
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:21.159
of that from a homeopathic perspective is
the rabies vaccine. So another you know,

541
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:25.199
again stress are on the body because
actually animals in the wild that are

542
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:31.079
affected by rabies vaccine actually have throat
spasms. And when we inject the organism,

543
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:37.039
the viral organism rabies into our patients, we see chronic effects of that

544
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:42.400
vaccine. We see symptoms in the
animal that are exactly like that occur in

545
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.400
the in the rabid animal. And
so these throat spasms that are occur in

546
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:50.480
so many, especially the toy breeds, are often a chronic effect of rabies

547
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:54.599
vaccine and can be treated with homeopathic
remedies. And it's a very frustrating symptom

548
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:59.639
clients often deal with. I wanted
to mention that earlier. Yeah, well

549
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.000
it is an interesting uh you know, in one of our chats here,

550
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:09.800
um, at what age do cats
start to like the cat map? I

551
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:15.559
think they're born that way, do
you, Contector dam I agree. I

552
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.519
mean I rarely see a cat who
won't take to it, that's for sure.

553
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.239
Yeah. And if if there's gonna
be any time limit, it's probably

554
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:29.719
gonna be somewheys around you know,
two or three weeks when they actually start

555
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:34.599
eating real food, even if it's
the real food that mom regurgitated, right

556
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:37.360
right, good point, Yeah,
you know, so, uh, you

557
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:42.360
know, because they're digestive track is
is you know, you know pretty much

558
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.519
fully you know, starting to develop. You got the good bacteria and that

559
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:47.960
sort of thing we also have to
and and actually that you know, being

560
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:53.000
that it's kind of you know,
it has those anti parasitic properties. Um,

561
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:58.159
that would be a natural wormer,
wouldn't it. Yeah, yeah,

562
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:00.639
sure, it's it's a great I'm
glad you're bringing it up because it's so

563
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:07.079
versatile from what we're discussing and its
uses. Yeah, now we were down

564
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:08.639
