In the July episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, we explore what happens when the clinical picture doesn't tell the whole story and why feline care often hinges on context as much as condition.Ann Hohenhaus joins host Yaiza Gómez-Mejías to reflect on her widely read JFMS article about non-regenerative anaemia in cats. But beyond the lab values, what makes this condition so difficult to spot? The conversation touches on overlooked clinical signs, unexpected owner observations, and the real-world decisions veterinarians face when managing anaemia in everyday practice.Then, Dr Kelly St. Denis speaks with Mary Ellen Goldberg about feline rehabilitation: when it's needed, why it's underused, and how it fits into modern pain management. In this first of a two-part conversation, they explore common challenges, the importance ofbehavioural sensitivity, and the value of a flexible, feline-friendly approach.

Dr. Richard S. Ostfeld discusses how human disruption of natural ecosystems, such as forest fragmentation and predator loss, has increased the risk of tick-borne diseases like Lyme and Powassan virus. He explains how climate change extends tick seasons and how common hosts like mice thrive in altered environments, boosting tick populations. Despite promising tick-control interventions, personal prevention remains key, as broad environmental strategies have yet to show consistent reductions in human disease.

In the June episode of Chattering With International Cat Care, host Yaiza Gómez-Mejías continues two insightful conversations from earlier this year, revisiting complex topics in feline internal medicine and dermatology through the lens of recent clinical guidelines and case experience.First, Sam Taylor and Rachel Korman return to discuss further aspects of the 2025 iCatCare consensus guidelines on the diagnosis and management of feline lower urinary tract disease. Building on their previous conversation, they explore how clinical decisions are made in practice and reflect on how guideline recommendations translate into everyday patient care. To hear the first part of this discussion, listen back to our February 2025 episode.Then, Dr Kelly St. Denis is joined once again by Dr Frane Banovic to complete their discussion on immune-mediated skin diseases in cats, drawing on the second of two JFMS Clinical Spotlight articles.

Lyme Disease and Your DogWelcome to our educational series on Lyme disease. Today, we'll discuss how to protect yourself and your loved ones, including your pets, from tick-borne diseases.Let's start with a story. One of my patients took precautions by using DEET and wearing clothes treated with pyrethrum. He also had a dog that wore a tick collar and was checked for ticks regularly. Despite this, he woke up with a deer tick attached.Ticks can carry several diseases, not just Lyme disease. These include Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis, Babesia, and the Powassan virus. It's crucial to be aware of these risks."Many patients use DEET, recommended by the CDC, for tick prevention. However, DEET is more effective against mosquitoes. I've had patients report tick bites despite using DEET."Pyrethrum is another option. It can be applied to clothing, but not directly to the skin. It's effective, but can cause side effects like dizziness and headaches. Also, its effectiveness decreases with washing." Risks with DogsDogs can increase your risk of tick exposure. They can pick up ticks outside and bring them into your home. Even with tick prevention measures, ticks can still be a problem.I recommend using a dust vac on furniture before sitting next to your dog. This can help reduce the risk of ticks in your home."It's best to avoid letting your dog sleep in your bed. Ticks can leave your dog and bite you without you noticing."Special Concerns for Pregnant WomenPregnant women need to be especially careful. Tick bites can pose risks to both mother and baby. Avoiding tick bites is crucial, and if you do get bitten, consult your doctor immediately."Practical AdviceHere are some practical tips:1. Use a dust vac on furniture before sitting with your dog.2. Avoid letting your dog into the bedroom.3. Perform regular tick checks on yourself and your pets after spending time outdoors.4. Pregnant women should consult their doctor if bitten by a tick." Conclusion While dogs are wonderful companions, they can increase your risk of tick exposure. By taking these precautions, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from tick-borne diseases. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more tips on staying safe from Lyme disease.

Dr. Harsha Rajasimha, Founder and Executive Chairman of IndoUSrare.why global collaboration is required in rare disease research to promote cultural diversity and sufficient clinical trial patient recruitment to improve the efficacy of research outcomes.   The U.S. is dealing with a rise in rare insect-borne diseases, including eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), which has a 30% fatality rate, that has led to two cases and one death in Alabama. Connecticut reported its first four cases of the tick-borne Powassan virus, while the country is facing its first locally transmitted malaria cases in two decades, with seven in Florida, and one each in Maryland and Texas affected.  These developments underscore the heightened public health challenges in the identification and treatment of rare diseases.  About 7,000 rare diseases, mostly genetic, affect around 350 million people worldwide, with approximately 75% of such rare diseases appearing in childhood.  With 95% of these conditions having no treatments, the lack of representation in clinical trials is problematic because it raises questions about the applicability of the findings, since different patient groups may respond differently to identical treatments.  The median number of patients participating in rare disease clinical trials is 29, as compared to a median of 69 for non-rare diseases. In the face of rising public health challenges, how critical is it to address the lack of representation in clinical trials for rare diseases affecting millions worldwide? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Mather is the authority on ticks. He was on with Chaz and AJ to help the Tribe protect themselves from ticks, and the dangerous infections they carry like Lyme Disease and the Powassan Virus. (0:00) Dumb Ass News - A man may miss his own wedding, since his dog ate his passport just before he needed to get on a plane. (12:55) Chaz has been asked to officiate a wedding for his niece, and had a lot of questions about the process to become ordained. AJ and comedian Ayesheh Mae had a lot of strong opinions on how the ceremony should go, and the Tribe called in to share their opinions on what makes a "good" wedding.

Like Lyme disease, Powassan is transmitted through ticks. While there are only a handful of U.S. cases every year, the virus can be deadly.

A walk in the woods can bring serenity and peace of mind. You can bring back souvenirs such as a beautiful leaf, or a pine cone. Sometimes your souvenir is less lovely - a tick. Dogs, cats, and even horses can suffer from tick bites and responsible pet owners regularly check their companions for these unwelcome parasites.Ticks can carry and transmit bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, Powassan virus, babesiosis, and erlichiosis.Climate change is making new regions more tick-friendly, which is bad news for people and animals.Dr. Katie Clow is an Assistant Professor in One Health in the Department of Population Medicine at the Ontario Veterinary College at Canada's University of Guelph. She's working on better ways to track ticks and their spread. She's also got a website with useful information about ticks for people and pet owners.In this episode of One World, One Health, listen as Katie explains why people need to keep an eye out for ticks, why simply clearing wildlife such as deer won't help control ticks, and how climate change is helping ticks thrive in more regions of the world.

Our guest this week is Dr. Casey Kelley.  Board Certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Kelley was among the first physicians to become Board Certified in Integrative Medicine. She has studied the causes, effects, and treatments of Lyme Disease extensively, and lectures nationally on this and other topics.  Dr. Kelley graduated from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed her residency in Family Medicine at St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago.  She is a ten-year member of the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM), a Director on the board of The International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS), and is a Founding Member of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM).  Dr. Kelley is on the faculty at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.   Prior to founding Case Integrative Health, Dr. Kelley practiced medicine at WholeHealth Chicago, Michigan Avenue Immediate Care, and St. Joseph Hospital. Tick-borne pathogens can be passed to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Ticks can be infected with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Some of the most common tick-borne diseases in the United States include: Lyme disease, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, anaplasmosis, Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness, Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever, and tularemia. Other tick-borne diseases in the United States include: Colorado tick fever, Powassan encephalitis, and Q fever. Lyme disease is the most commonly reported tick-borne disease in the United States. In 2010, more than 22,500 confirmed and 7,500 probable cases of Lyme disease were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Lexi Czar is a 27-year-old young woman from Creston, BC, Canada. She created Lyme disease awareness apparel and is and is thinking about relaunching her brand in the future. Prior to suffering the extreme symptoms of Lyme disease, Ms. Czar was a full-time student with a part-time job and was involved in many extracurricular sports and activities. She traveled throughout British Columbia and Alberta and was an extremely happy person with a great group of friends. Ms. Czar struggled with health issues as a child after a bad case of mono, but once she entered college her symptoms became more persistent. She had severe migraines and chronic fatigue which were dismissed and attributed to being a stressed college student. Unfortunately, Ms. Czars symptoms continued to worsen and expand, including body pain, insomnia, restless legs, bone issues, anxiety, and depression. After contracting dengue fever and being exposed to toxic mold, she was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease when she was 22. Ms. Czar was bit by another tick and reinfected with Powassan virus, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), Babesia, and Bartonella after making progress recovering from her initial Lyme diagnosis. Some of the treatment modalities she has used over time include stem cells, kambo, peptides, microdosing (with psilocybin), herbal antibiotics, ozone, light therapy, Rife, the FREmedica WAVE device, and more. If you would like to learn how a young woman from Canada is using a variety of non-standard treatment protocols to recover from chronic Lyme disease and co-infections, then tune in now!

BANG. Basil can hear the Alpha-Bois shoving people to the ground, and he knows that getting back on their feet costs them valuable time if they hope to move on to the next round. He must eliminate some Alpha-Bois if he wants to have any chance in the future rounds. Basil breathes in, then cuts his feet to the right, his roller blades scrape against the rink as he turns 180 to face his enemies. As the first Alpha-Boi reaches out for him, Basil drops his shoulder into the man's gut and then flips him over his back. SLAM. The Alpha-Boi falls flat on the rink.
