We wanted to share her story of Ethel, a 2-year-old Yorkshire terrier, with a severely broken leg that never healed after multiple surgeries. Amputation was the only option if the BMP procedure was not appropriate for Ethel. So Rene asked Dr Kapatkin for details about what happened. We'll learn all about BMP, how it works, and when it can be used. Spoiler Alert: Little Ethel still has all her legs!Please share this episode with your vets and veterinary colleagues.

Tripawds Podcast Episode #85: On this episode of Tripawd Talk Radio Rene discusses, the benefits and potential of performing a lifetime study to analyze the long-term effects of limb amputation on dogs. Here at Tripawds, we are passionate about educating people to help their amputee pets live a long healthy life on three legs. And so is today's guest: Dr Felix Duerr, from Colorado State University's department of Small Animal Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. We have had the honor of meeting Dr Duerr a number of times, and having him as a previous guest on the show. Over the years, we have tossed around the idea of a lifetime study for amputee dogs. Something similar to the popular "Golden Retriever Lifetime Study" currently underway, could provide important insight into the mobility challenges and biomechanical changes Tripawds experience over time. But what would it take to perform a lifetime "longitudinal study" like this? We'll learn what that term means, the important discoveries such a study might reveal, and the challenges to make it happen.

This is a community for pet owners who are caring for a handicapped, paraplegic or other special needs dog, cat or other pet. Sharon provides tips, support, news and where to find products for the daily care of pets with paralysis and other neurological conditions. As an animal advocate and freelance writer for over a decade, she started the website when her dog Sophie was stricken with a progressive paralysis that took away her ability to run, walk and later stand or even sit on her own.

Tripawds Podcast Episode #70: You can't see, smell or hear them but each day we are all surrounded by high EMFs (ambient and man-made electromagnetic fields) in our homes and the outside world. These EMFs are proven to cause issues with insects and migratory birds' flying patterns, but how do EMFs affect the dogs and cats living in our home? Can EMFs increase pain symptoms and create problems for people and animals with compromised immune systems? Today's Tripawd Talk Radio takes a look at these questions. On this pre-recorded episode of Tripawd Talk Radio you'll hear from two people who can shed some light on the EMF issue. First we'll chat with 2018 TEDx Speaker Dr. Don Nixdorf, DC, formerly Executive Director of the British Columbia Chiropractic Association and Board of Advisors member for Farabloc Development Corporation, producers of the Farabloc medical aid that reduces exposure to high frequency electro magnetic fields. Next up, you'll meet Holly, mom to Purrkins, a front-leg feline amputee who suddenly developed phantom pain when the local power provider introduced a smart meter into his home. In this episode, we discuss: Why the absence of high EMF (ambient and man-made electromagnetic fields) has a profound impact on injury including recovery from surgery, burns, amputee phantom pain and chronic pain. Current research that demonstrates how faster wound repair and less associated pain when you reduce exposure to high EMFs. And, how Purrkins has found relief from phantom pain after the Farabloc blanket was introduced into his living area. Join the discussion on this topic here.
