Dear Johnny, My name is Shelby and I work full time and I'm also a student. I'm writing for help because I have an emergency. A few days ago our service animal, Luna (a husky), was playing in the yard and fell and injured her knee. We rushed her to the emergency vet and found out she needs a TPLO surgery (tibial plateau osteotomy). She has a dislocated kneecap and torn CCL (puppy version of an ACL). Her surgery costs $3800 to repair and we just don't have it. Luna is a big part of our family, and more than that, she is my service dog. In May, I was having severe headaches and was diagnosed with a brain tumor that effects my vision. It's a pituitary adenoma about the size of a large gumball. It's not cancerous, but it suppresses my adrenal gland and can cause seizures and severe drops in blood pressure. I may have to have surgery, but for now I'm on medication to regulate it. Luna is trained and certified as an alert dog for seizures and blood pressure alerts, and I love her and need her. I can't do without her. Thanks for reading my letter and for any help you can give. I can provide any documentation or vet estimate you need. Thank you, Shelby Who Helped: Amy, Jeff & Tracy, Pete & Pipefitters 533, Derek, Tammy How You Helped: Paid for Luna's veterinary surgery, pet ramp

I'm sharing some important news about the future of this podcast. I appreciate each and every one of you who has listened, shared and supported the show.” I've come to a decision that has been difficult but necessary: there will be no more episodes of The Companions Collective. 2024 has thrown us a lot of curveballs here at Chez Bella, making life a little more challenging lately. My baby girl is not really a baby anymore and with arthritis setting in on that leg she had TPLO surgery on in January 2023, she needs more from me. More of everything. As many of you know, she is my world, just as your pets are to you. She's my ride or die and it's vital for me to be there for her in this time. On top of that, my husband and I have faced some challenges dealing with his mother's estate. Navigating this kind of family business has been a heavy burden, and balancing everything has become increasingly difficult. I need to simplify my life to focus on what matters most right now. I've loved flexing my interview skills and connecting with so many of you through this podcast, especially during episodes that focused on understanding pet loss and grief. I believe our pets—especially our dogs—come into our lives to change us and make us better people. Losing them transforms us in even more profound ways, and those conversations have been close to my heart. I'm proud of the insights we've shared together. I set a personal goal to reach 100 episodes, and while I won't get there, I'm grateful for the journey and the conversations that brought us all closer together. I do believe, though, that many of the episodes are a valuable resource to pet guardians who are experiencing anticipatory grief or pet loss grief. I hope you will go back and listen again when you need them or share them with someone who might need to hear them. This isn't goodbye forever; it's just a shift in focus. I have other creative pursuits I want to explore, and I believe there's a different outlet out there that might align more with where I am in my life right now. I'll be over at Big White Dog Photography, making art for people who love their dogs that damn much, and getting as much love and as many snuggles as I can from the sweetest Maremmano-Abrusseze to ever exist in the world. Thank you for being part of The Companions Collective. Your support has meant the world to me, and I hope you continue to honor the beautiful bond we share with our pets. Keep being kind to yourselves and each other. Until we meet again, tell your dog I said hi. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecompanionscollective/support

Do you end up with a wooly ball of anxiety every time you have to go to the vet? I do. In fact, we've been having to go to a lot of appointments lately as arthritis has set in with the knee Bella had TPLO surgery on last year. Now … we adore our general practice vet here in Spokane Valley but if Latah Creek Animal Hospital was a little bit closer, I would be seriously considering a switch. Based right here in my town, Spokane, Washington, Latah Creek is a fear-free clinic. I've been following their Instagram account for a while and I just love the energy that comes out in their posts: informative, educational, kind … I reached out for a chance to interview the top dogs there and clinic owners Jessica Osborne and Dr. Megan Bauer couldn't wait to share the good word of fear-free veterinary practices. We talk about this innovative approach to reduce stress and anxiety for pets during vet visits and how Jessica and Dr. Megan create a calm environment for both stressed-out animal and stressed-out human guardian.

It's something we all hope never happens to our dogs but, unfortunately, a CCL injury (equivalent to a human ACL) is more common than what you may think. When Cliff Hawkins' 3 year old Pudelpointer, Ruby, went down with the injury, he found the available information on how to navigate the situation very lacking. So he documented his experience and wrote the Navigating TPLO Surgery Article that can hopefully help others make their way through the process with as little setbacks as possible!

Your dog is an athlete. You ask him to perform feats of athleticism on a daily basis whether you realize it or not: jumping into the back of your SUV from a stance, sprinting across the field for a ball, hiking up that steep trail, or running beside you for your morning jog.  And then there's the “squirrel's revenge!” Yes, your dog always sees that squirrel taunting them as you open the door and takes off like a shot, leaping over the stairs, only to come to a dead stop at the base of the tree. Can you imagine if you did this upon waking in the morning? You might think you'd injure your knee and that is exactly what happens to your best friend. He suddenly comes up lame in the hind leg. It doesn't get better so you take him to the vet and sure enough, he's torn his cranial cruciate ligament or CCL (ACL for us humans).  Then you find out, it doesn't heal on its own so your vet recommends surgery! Believe it or not, this scenario plays out all the time because tearing the cranial cruciate ligament is THE most common orthopedic diagnosis seen by veterinary surgeons. Listen as we talk with Mary Ann Nieves, DVM, MS, DACVS, about everything cranial cruciate ligament:Anatomy of the dog's knee and why does slope matter?The function of the CCL and why it's so important?The complicated and multifactorial reasons that lead to CCL tears.Does this injury happens in all species, even our cat friends? Can we do anything to prevent these injuries?Surgery vs. conservative management: pros and cons.What is a TPLO, TTA, and lateral suture?Arthritis and chronic pain after a CCL tear, especially if no surgery is performed.What is the role of prehab and rehab for CCL injuries?Find Dr. Nieves at Blue Pearl Pet Hospital.DisclaimerThe contents of the PetAbilityTM  podcast are for informational purposes only.   The host(s) and their guests make no claims, warranties or representations about the content of these podcasts, or the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of their content.

We will review tension relieving techniques in skin surgery and have an interview with a Swedish surgeon that loves orthopedics! Did you know that most third eyelid neoplasms are adenocarcinomas?

Dr. Raviv Balfour is an orthopedic specialist who has performed countless procedures including CCL (ACL) repair.  He is a specialist in the TPLO procedure.  We talk about health issues, surgeries, risky dog sports, the conformation of different breeds.

I remember how scared I was when I found out that my dog tore his CCLs. I admit - I cried a lot. I was afraid that surgery would ruin him or that he'd have a post-op infection or some other surgical setback. I read too many scary stories online, each one conflicting with the next. The more I read, the more confused I became. After I realized that conservative management wasn't working well enough, I had no other choice but to move forward with surgery. I chose TPLO. He got the first one and healed wonderfully. He had the second TPLO eight-months later. Having gone through two recoveries, my mission was to help other dog owners not go through the stressful ordeal that I experienced. It was the catalyst for lots of good things: writing the book, The Essential Dog Owner's Manual for CCL Injury, starting a website and private Facebook CCL Surgery group and then writing blog articles. Today's episode is me reading the most popular of my blog posts. If your dog is scheduled for surgery, I hope that hearing this brings you comfort. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode (52:44) We discuss the results of the Masters Agility Championship at Westminster, the event structure, thoughts on crowning a champion, the broadcast, a heartwarming tale of triumph after TPLO, and Cesar Millan intruding on the sport of agility. Mentioned Our podcast covering the 2014 Westminster Agility Championship Our podcast discussing CCL injuries and TPLO Westminster Agility Results Fox Sport’s exceedingly misleading announcement of Cesar Millan’s commentary position Voice your opinion on the broadcast with Fox Sports. Expert opinions on Cesar Millan’s training methods including:Dr. Nicholas Dodman – Professor and Head, Section of Animal BehaviorDirector of Behavior Clinic, Tufts University – Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine“Cesar Millan’s methods are based on flooding and punishment. The results, though immediate, will be only transitory. His methods are misguided, outmoded, in some cases dangerous, and often inhumane. You would not want to be a dog under his sphere of influence. The sad thing is that the public does not recognize the error of his ways. My college thinks it is a travesty. We’ve written to National Geographic Channel and told them they have put dog training back 20 years.” Enjoy this video of Brittany Schaezler’s sheltie Ticket!
