Today, I’m talking with Dr. Margo Roman, a fellow integrative veterinarian and owner of Main Street Animal Services of Hopkinton (MASH), which is located in the Boston area. A fecal transplant is just what it sounds like. Poop from a healthy animal is introduced into the body of an unhealthy animal. Dr. Roman has used fecal transplants to successfully treat dogs and cats with a wide variety of conditions, including severe gastrointestinal disease, behavioral issues, atopic dermatitis, and coprophagia (poop eating).

Chronic vomiting in cats is unfortunately so common that many pet parents and even some veterinarians view it as "normal" behavior. However, in my professional opinion, chronic vomiting, even in kitties with hairballs, is a sign something's wrong and needs to be investigated. After all, big cats in the wild don't routinely vomit. Additional causes of vomiting in cats include problems with diet and feeding habits, enzyme deficiencies and toxin ingestion. Helping a chronically vomiting cat requires identifying the cause/s behind the digestive upset and then making appropriate dietary/lifestyle changes and/or resolving underlying medical issues.

My guest today is my very good friend Rodney Habib, and he’s here to discuss another exciting project we’ve teamed up on, our second book! Our first book, The Forever Dog, was the “why”— it’s heavy on words, but light on pictures. The official book release is June 4th, but we’re encouraging everyone to preorder now, because our first book (The Forever Dog) sold out almost immediately, and we want all of you passionate pet parents out there to avoid disappointment and a potentially long wait this time around. The Forever Dog (book No. 1), was the “why” behind the importance of providing a thriving, sustainable lifestyle and environment for your animal companion; The Forever Dog Life (the new book) is “how” — a step-by-step manual presented in a colorful, photo-rich format. Listen in or read along as Rodney and I discuss the many ways we believe The Forever Dog Life can help pet parents everywhere learn simple ways they can help their dogs live longer and better from the inside-out and the outside-in with easy-to-follow tools, recipes, and tips.

Giardia duodenalis (Giardia) is a microscopic parasite that affects people and pets. Once infected, Giardia lives in the intestines and is passed in poop. Your pet can become infected if he ingests contaminated feces. An infected animal that licks his backside and then licks another animal or human can also transmit Giardia. If your dog is infected, there’s a good chance you won’t know it, as most giardia infections are asymptomatic. If symptoms do occur, diarrhea, gas, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting are possible, with sudden, chronic or intermittent diarrhea being most common. Longer term infection interferes with your pet’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients from their food and may also damage the lining of the intestines. A twice-yearly fecal test will also help to catch any parasitic infections early on, before they have a chance to do a lot of GI damage.

Margaret Slaby, founder and executive director of Golden Oldies Cat Rescue, is helping to fill a major void in the pet welfare industry — finding homes for senior kitties. Nominated for a Game Changer award by Patty S., Slaby started Golden Oldies Cat Rescue, based in Monterey County, California, in 2016. Golden Oldies has saved the lives of 162 older cats, ranging in age from 6 to 19, and counting. Cats come into their care from shelters or guardian surrenders, and live in foster homes until they’re adopted. Golden Oldies Cat Rescue is supported by a large community willing to not only foster but also donate, adopt and volunteer their time and services.

Asthma, which is also referred to as allergic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, or chronic bronchitis, is a condition in which a pet has recurrent attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. Common triggers for pet asthma are inhaled substances such as grasses, pollens, aerosol sprays, and smoke. Symptoms of asthma in pets include wheezing, labored breathing, and a dry hacking cough. Cats can have very serious asthma with no or very subtle symptoms that are difficult to detect. Treatment of asthma in a cat or dog is focused on resolving the immediate breathing crisis, if necessary, and working longer term to eliminate all potential asthma triggers in the animal’s environment. It’s also advisable to work with a holistic veterinarian who can offer effective holistic protocols in conjunction with, or in lieu of, asthma medications. There are many steps you can take as the guardian of an asthmatic pet to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes, including cleaning the air in your cat’s or dog’s environment, and transitioning to an anti-inflammatory, species-appropriate diet.

Osteomyelitis is inflammation of the bone and/or bone marrow caused by either a bacterial or fungal infection. Inflammation may be the result of a chronic or acute infection that originates in another area of the body and travels to the bone through the bloodstream, or it may come from another infection that is located near the bone. Early symptoms of osteomyelitis include pain, fever, and soft tissue swelling. Your pet may be lethargic, weak, depressed, and unwilling to eat. There can also be episodic lameness and muscle wasting. Diagnosis includes precisely identifying the infectious organism so that an appropriate treatment protocol can be initiated. While the bone is healing it will remain unstable. Your pet’s activity must be restricted during this time. Acute cases of osteomyelitis tend to respond better than chronic cases.

Canine exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, which is usually shortened to EPI, is a mouthful of a name for a disorder in which the pancreas doesn't produce enough digestive enzymes. These enzymes include amylase to digest starches, lipase to digest fats and proteases to digest protein. Without sufficient quantities of these enzymes, the food that is eaten is poorly digested and poorly absorbed. Symptoms of EPI include constant hunger with significant weight loss, frequent pooping, coprophagia and/or pica, GI noise and gas, and intermittent diarrhea or vomiting. Early detection and treatment of this condition is very important; undiagnosed or untreated EPI can lead to starvation, organ failure and death. Treatment includes giving digestive enzymes, probiotics and other appropriate supplements, and transitioning from a processed to a nutritionally balanced, low-fiber fresh food diet. Proactive management of the condition, including trial-and-error adjustments to treatment protocols, provides the best outcome and quality of life for EPI dogs.

Today I’m interviewing a very special guest, Dr. Tom Cameron. Dr. Cameron runs the DeForest Veterinary Clinic in DeForest, Wisconsin, where he offers a combination of traditional and holistic treatment modalities. He also serves in a technical support role to the Standard Process line of veterinary nutritional supplements. Menadione, which is a synthetic form of vitamin K, is a widely used ingredient in pet food. Not only does menadione lack many of the important properties of natural vitamin K (derived from whole foods), it has also been identified as a liver toxin. Even in very small amounts, ingestion of menadione on a daily basis over a dog’s or cat’s lifetime is cause for concern. Menadione can be found in all types of pet food, including commercial raw diets, so it’s important for pet guardians to check labels carefully for the presence of this synthetic nutrient.

Struvite stones, also called triple phosphate stones and magnesium ammonium phosphate stones, are a type of bladder stone or bladder crystal that occurs in both dogs and cats. Magnesium, ammonia and phosphate are common substances found in urine. In high concentrations, they can bind together to form crystals that irritate your pet's bladder and cause inflammation. If the crystals combine with mucus, they can form plugs that partially or completely block the urinary tract. Symptoms of struvite stones include frequent urination, straining to urinate and blood-tinged or cloudy urine. Diagnosis will include a urinalysis, a culture and sensitivity test for bacterial infections, and abdominal x-rays or ultrasound. Treatment of mild to moderate cases involves resolving any existing infection, creating and maintaining a healthy urine pH, and providing a species-appropriate, moisture-rich diet. Struvite stones located in the urethra or the ureters, and stones that don’t dissolve despite dietary changes and medical management, typically require surgery.

Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal form of poisoning that can result from eating spoiled raw meat, dead animals, or decaying vegetable matter infected with the Clostridium botulinum type C neurotoxin. Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, spore-forming, motile bacterium with the ability to produce the neurotoxin botulinum. Botulism causes weakness that can progress to paralysis of all four limbs. Other clinical signs include trouble chewing and swallowing, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Treatment includes giving a type C anti-toxin and supportive care depending on the severity of symptoms. To prevent botulism, pets should never have access to spoiled raw meat or animal carcasses.

Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (IMT) is a condition in which the body’s immune system destroys its own blood platelets. IMT is primarily a disease of middle-aged dogs, and while any breed can be affected, Poodles, Cocker Spaniels, and Old English Sheepdogs are predisposed. The disease is quite rare in cats. Blood platelets are very important types of blood cells. They not only help blood to clot and seal holes in leaking blood vessels, they also produce biochemicals that make permanent repairs to those holes. The exact cause of IMT is unknown, however, the condition can be triggered or exacerbated by vaccines, especially bacterins (such as lepto and Lyme vaccines) and adjuvanted killed vaccines (such as the rabies vaccine). Most of the symptoms of IMT are bleeding-related, with spontaneous bruising being one of the most common. Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia is a complex condition that varies from patient to patient, so treatment must be individualized. Most pets with IMT can live normally if they respond well to medical treatment.

Bananas have been a part of people's diet for thousands of years. In fact, they are one of the most popular and highly cultivated fruits worldwide, outranking apples and oranges in terms of sales, with around 100 billion consumed globally annually.1 Bananas have become a staple in many cultures because they're filling, versatile and affordable. They're also a good source of various nutrients and bioactive compounds that may benefit not only you but your furry family members too. One of the most notable benefits of bananas is that they're rich in antioxidants, including phenolics, carotenoids, biogenic amines and phytosterols. Green bananas contain resistant starches and pectins, making them a good whole food source of prebiotics.

It's mind boggling to think about all the different ways our pets are exposed to toxins and chemicals in today's world. There's radiation, environmental pesticides, lawn and home chemicals, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), flame-retardants, bisphenol A (BPA), hydrocarbons and heavy metals. If your pet’s toxic burden overwhelms his body’s ability to naturally eliminate those toxins, it can damage his health. There are many steps you can take to minimize your pet’s exposure to toxins and support the organs of her body responsible for detoxification. For many pets, a regular detoxification protocol can also be very beneficial.

An ulcer of the stomach or the intestine, called gastroduodenal ulcer disease, refers to one or more ulcers found in a dog's or cat's stomach and/or duodenum. The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. Ulcers are more common in dogs than cats, but kitties do get them as well. A healthy pet’s gastrointestinal tract is very resilient and fast-healing, but if stomach acid overwhelms the protective forces of the digestive tract, a gastric ulcer can be the unfortunate result. In my practice, the two most common reasons for GI ulcers are overuse of steroids or NSAIDs (or both), and helicobacter infection secondary to an unhealthy GI tract. A helicobacter infection is a sign that your pet’s innate GI defenses and immune system are compromised; it’s important to identify what influences in your dog’s or cat’s environment and lifestyle are contributing factors. There are many things you can do as your pet’s guardian to keep her GI tract healthy, starting with feeding a balanced, biologically appropriate diet of fresh, natural foods. It’s also important to insure any drug or other chemical your pet is exposed to is given in the lowest possible effective therapeutic dose, and insist on antibody titer testing in lieu of automatic re-vaccination.

My guest today is integrative veterinarian Dr. Colleen Smith, who was nominated for a Game Changer award by LaRayne H. Dr. Colleen is owner of the Chattanooga Holistic Animal Institute (CHAI) in Tennessee. Dr. Colleen wanted to be a veterinarian from an early age, but was sidetracked into a career as a chemist until she eventually returned to vet school. Unlike most veterinarians who become interested in holistic and integrative medicine, Dr. Colleen was skilled in acupuncture before she received her veterinary degree. Dr. Colleen loves the challenge of working with “hopeless cases;” she also loves helping shape the lifelong health of her puppy patients, and she even performs acupuncture on trailered horses in the alley next to her clinic!

Sadly, estimates are that over half of kitty companions 10 years and older suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is also referred to as chronic renal disease or chronic renal failure. There are many causes of CKD in cats, but one of the most common and preventable influences is a dry food diet. The prescription “renal diets” recommended by many veterinarians are also dry processed diets that provide very little moisture and poor-quality protein to kitty patients in desperate need of food loaded with moisture and animal protein. Ideally, CKD cats should be fed excellent-quality, fresh food diets formulated specifically to address renal disease. There are also natural supplements that can be very beneficial for cats with CKD.

Today I’m talking with Dr. Holly Ganz. Dr. Ganz is a microbial ecologist, which means she studies interactions between microorganisms and animals. She received her Ph.D. at the University of California, Davis, and founded her company, AnimalBiome, two years ago after spending nearly two decades in academia studying interactions between microbes and animals. A growing body of research confirms that a healthy microbiome is foundational to the overall health of both humans and animals. According to AnimalBiome survey results, most conventional veterinarians are open to the idea of microbiome restorative therapy, but know little about it. In the future, Dr. Ganz plans to develop customized treatments for each pet, as well as both therapeutic and maintenance protocols.

Have you noticed that your older pup's eyes have taken on a bluish haze? It's likely lenticular sclerosis, also known as nuclear sclerosis — and it's not a cause for alarm. The good news is lenticular sclerosis won't make your dog go blind. The condition comes on gradually, which allows pets to adjust well to any minor vision changes that may occur. It's important to distinguish lenticular sclerosis from cataracts, which can take on a similar blue-cloud appearance. While lenticular sclerosis shouldn't interfere with your pet's well-being, cataracts may need treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.

Chronic vomiting in cats is unfortunately so common these days that many pet parents and even some veterinarians don’t consider it a big deal. However, the reality is that regular vomiting is a sign something’s wrong, since your kitty’s cousins in the wild don't routinely vomit. It’s also important to realize that frequent vomiting is stressful and physically taxing. A common cause of frequent vomiting in cats is a poor-quality diet and food intolerances, both of which must be addressed to resolve the issue. Eating too fast and too much time between meals can cause vomiting, as can hairballs and constipation. Enzyme deficiencies, toxin ingestion, and an underlying medical condition can also play a role. Helping a chronically vomiting cat requires identifying the cause(s), addressing any underlying medical issues, and making appropriate dietary/lifestyle changes.
