Not only do we delve into the nuances between emergency and general practice vets, but we also gain insights into how pet parents can prepare for and handle pet emergencies.As a pet parent, you're going to face difficult decisions, especially when it comes to your pet's health, how far you're willing to support your pet's recovery and the financial implications of emergency care or extended veterinary care. In this episode, we discuss how to navigate these tough waters, from being candid with your vet staff about financial constraints and exploring alternative treatment options, to exploring options for support from rescues and other animal welfare organizations. On top of this, we discuss the importance of knowing your pet's medical history and preparing for emergencies. But trips to the emergency vet aren't all about physical health. We also touch on the emotional aspect of pet care, especially when it comes to end-of-life situations.

In this episode, Web talks with Kent and Michelle Rischard about their two Brittany spaniels, Millie and Reba, and an ordeal they experienced involving their dogs and a baby rattlesnake in their backyard. One evening they let their dogs out in the backyard, as usual, when a commotion occurred and they ran back into the house. Millie was violently ill, vomiting, and they immediately thought she had encountered a venomous Sonoran desert toad. As they had been told to do by friends and neighbors, they got out of hose and proceeded to rinse out Millie's mouth to flush out the poison. However, they eventually realized that something else had happened as they saw her face start to swell and noticed two bite marks.

David Bessler thinks the traditional veterinary medical practice, with its separate treatment rooms, closed surgeries and recovery areas, and hard-to-reach veterinarians is not just outdated, but broken. With nearly two decades of emergency veterinary medicine under his belt, and public education work at the Museum of Natural History and appearances on Sesame Street, he asserts a modern practice is oriented to people, service-based, open, and transparent. Decisions are shared, and authoritarian attitudes are abandoned. His first Veterinary Emergency Group practice tested his ideas … and they worked. There are now 27 Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) locations, with more in the works. Focusing exclusively on veterinary emergency medicine, each practice is completely transparent to the customers. For example: When you arrive, there is no paperwork … because your dog needs help NOW, not after you fill out a form; When you call with a medical question, you get an answer from a veterinarian … not a nurse or a receptionist; When you are waiting for attention for your dog's torn toenail, and it takes a while to get it, you are relaxed and understanding … because you see the heroic efforts the veterinarians and staff are making on behalf of other animals. Why do you see it? Because you're all in one big treatment area. There is no “back room” in VEG hospitals. It's all one open triage floor. And because animal lovers all share an essential love and goodness, you may even feel called to help another person's dog or cat that may be in more serious jeopardy than yours is … and you'll feel great about it. That's all part of the point. Bessler and his partner, David Glattstein, have created a very different breed of veterinary medical practice, one that caters directly to human nature and appeals to our greatest ideals. In this wide-ranging conversation with the charismatic and whipsmart David Bessler, we find out why he thinks that people are good, and why he tries so hard to create openness, togetherness, heroic efforts, and meaningful moments. Also: why puns are an important part of his business' culture. About David Bessler Dr. David Bessler has been a career emergency veterinarian since 2003. He spent time caring for reptiles at the Bronx Zoo, teaches “Veterinary Science” to elementary school children at the American Museum of Natural History and was even featured as Dr. Dave, teaching kids on Sesame Street. Dr. Bessler has a vision to revolutionize emergency veterinary medicine through a holistic, radically open experience for the caregiver, customer and patient. In 2014, he purchased his first emergency vet hospital, which allowed him to bring his vision to life. Today VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group) has 27 ERs for pets in 10 states, treats over three hundred thousand pet emergencies each year, and boasts the highest NPS in the veterinary industry.

Dr Merrianne Burtch, Pacific Veterinary Specialists & BirchBark Foundation When must you take your pet to the emergency vet? Dr. Merrianne Burtch of the BirchBark Foundation and Pacific Veterinary Specialists in Capitola was here for a 5/20 recorded segment. She answers that question, offers a warning about the artificial sweetener xylitol that can kill dogs, as well as snakebite and other emergencies. Here is her blog post on life-threatening substances. Here is the substance of her ER visits post: Here are some pretty clear guidelines for when you should take your pet to emergency Fever: Dog and cats have a normal body temperature ranging from 99 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If your pet is feeling poorly and has a fever over 103 then a visit to the vet or emergency is indicated. Pets with a temperature of 106 or greater will start to suffer brain damage and need to be cooled with fluids or other therapy Vomiting repeatedly and unable to hold down water is another time when you should take action. An animal with severe gastroenteritis or an obstruction in the intestines will become dehydrated and start to have organ dysfunction within about 12 hours of not being able to hydrate. Weakness and a fast heart rate further indicate a visit to emergency is needed. Seizures particularly when a series or cluster of seizures occurs, unless your pet is a known epileptic and you have been guided otherwise. A seizure can be the result of a single event from changes in the brain chemistry, the first sign of a seizure disorder or an indication of metabolic abnormalities such as low blood sugar, low blood calcium or other electrolyte disorders. It can also be from ingestion of certain toxins. Because the brain can suffer permanent damage from repeated seizures making sure an underlying cause is not present is essential and checking for a treatable cause can save a life. Toxin exposure. If your pet has consumed prescription medication then the best start is poison control. You can call yourself and talk to someone at the ASPCA poison control (888) 426-4435 . There is a charge in the $60 range and they can help you decide whether to go the emergency or monitor at home. They can also tell you what to look for. Some of the other toxins of concern include chocolate which you can check to see whether your dog got a toxic amount here. Other toxins that might demand a visit are xylitol (causes severe low sugar and is life-threatening), poisonous mushrooms (some emergency rooms can help you determine if your pet consumed a poison mushroom especially if you bring it with you or have a picture to identify it), and antifreeze which may cause your pet to seem drunk and causes life-threatening kidney failure. Snail bait in the Spring is a common toxin that causes tremors and seizures and requires a visit to the veterinarian. Collapse and inability to move can be from heart disease, orthopedic disease or neurologic damage to the brain or spinal cord. Ideally, your pet should be seen if this occurs because correction of neurologic disease is time sensitive and can make the difference between saving their ability to walk or not. Heart rhythm abnormalities can be life-threatening if not addressed. Trauma to the body (hit by car), dogfights with resulting puncture wounds to the chest or abdomen and trauma to the eye can have underlying hidden damage that might be life compromising or vision compromising so the safest option is to have your pet evaluated if they experience such trauma. Here is a link to the ASPCA's chocolate hazards post. Here is a paw'd cast interview with ASPCA poison control chief Dr. Tina Wismer. Here is the ASPCA poison control app and chocolate toxicity calculator.

It's 2017 and EVERYTHING'S GREAT! At least as far as fans of this podcast are concerned because this episode is great. If you're a fan of The Walking Dead, or Evil Dead 2 or Day Of The Dead or Kill Bill or Django Unchained or any of the seven million movies and television shows this gentleman has worked on, Greg Nicotero is here today. Greg has gone from being one of the leading special effects make-up wizards in in Hollywood to one of the hottest directors in television. Also joining us, Kevin Fitzgerald, a man I can only describe as a real life Forrest Gump. Kevin Fitzgerald. Kevin is a very funny and talented comedian, based in Denver, who I've known for, probably, twenty-five years. Kevin is also, a very brilliant veterinary surgeon, and is the star of Animal Planets' Emergency Vets. So, I was recently in Denver, and I was talking to Kevin, and I happened to ask how he got into being a veterinarian and he said, “Keith Richard's made me do it.” And I said, as you would have said, “Keith Richards, Keith Richards?” and he said, “Yeah.” And what I learned was, from this guy I've known forever, that starting in 1969, Kevin was a bodyguard for the Rolling Stones, among many other bands. Kevin has worked with the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, the list goes on and on and on and he's here today to tell us all about it. Me? I've been busier than a one-armed traffic cop with a skin rash. We're currently in pre-production on season 2 of Stan Against Evil, which means we're breaking stories for the season and writing scripts, the special effects shop is already designing a new season's worth of demons and creatures, I'm back at work on this little baby, and, as you may guess, that takes a little time, and I'm still touring.

You've seen them- that pudgy pup waddling down the street. They look cute with the swaying of their thunder thighs and paunchy gut almost touching the ground. And those internet photos of the 30lb. cat, who wouldn't go ‘ahhhh what a honey of a chunky monkey'. Deep down you say to yourself, my pet isn't that fat. It just has big bones. My cat must have Maine Coon in it. That's why it is so chubby. It really doesn't eat that much. But did you know that 1 extra pound on a Chihuahua is like a 125lb. woman gaining 30lb.s! Though my guest is a stand up comic and internationally recognized veterinarian of Animal Planet's Emergency Vets, Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, obesity in our cats and dogs is no laughing matter. We will talk about how to recognize if your pet is fat and not fluffy. What are the health risks associated with being overweight? How to put your pet safely on a diet? What are calorie safe treats for your pets? And calculating how much to feed your pet. More details on this episode MP3 Podcast -When a Little is Way Too Much ....with Dr. Bernadine Cruz
