There's no need for you and your pet to be afraid of this Halloween mainstay. Often used as lawn décor, it turns out your pet can actually benefit from eating more of it! Discover what this brightly colored food can offer your pet. Pumpkin may help regulate your pet's bowel movements and facilitate gastric emptying because it's a good fiber source. Pumpkin contains numerous vitamins and other nutrients essential for your pet's health, including vitamin C, zeaxanthin, lutein and beta carotene. Pumpkin pies and puddings are not recommended for pets as they contain high amounts of sugar and possibly other chemical additives.

Without the antivenom, this bite is fatal for most cats and many dogs. They'll need hospitalization, and even then the prognosis may be unclear for days. This 'cousin' inflicts bites that are just as disturbing, but with different symptoms. What to have on hand for both. A venomous black widow spider bite triggers muscle spasms and paralysis. Other symptoms can include severe pain, difficulty breathing, and loss of coordination. Your pet can be bitten by a black widow indoors or outside. Younger and older pets are at increased risk of fatal complications from a black widow bite. A dog or cat bitten by a black widow spider must be treated with antivenom, supportive therapy, and other medications as necessary. A brown recluse spider bite is necrotizing – meaning the bite wound will ulcerate and cause destruction of surrounding soft tissue. Some pets show no symptoms from the bite of a brown recluse, but when symptoms are present, they often include several hours of intense pain at the site of the bite. Routine wound care is given for brown recluse bites unless the pet is very ill, in which case he must be hospitalized to receive proper care.

Done on an outpatient basis, this minimally invasive procedure is dramatically improving the health and quality of life of French Bulldogs and other brachycephalic pets. Today I’m Zooming with a veterinarian in Boca Raton, FL, Dr. Boaz Man, who is using a groundbreaking CO2 laser procedure to dramatically improve the health and quality of life of French Bulldogs and other “extreme” flat-faced breeds. Dr. Man is a general practice veterinarian, not a board certified veterinary surgeon, but he has taken it upon himself to learn the skills and techniques necessary to perform this successful life-saving surgery on dogs with a compromised quality of life who struggle simply to breathe. The CO2 laser procedure is done on an outpatient basis, is minimally invasive, produces minimal bleeding, and no stitches or “cone of shame” are required; the laser is used to open the nostrils and remove excess tissue from the nose and windpipe Dr. Man is hopeful that many more veterinarians will learn the technique, because French Bulldogs and other brachycephalic breeds are hugely popular in the U.S., and many of them are in very poor health. Ultimately, the onus is on breeders and owners/prospective owners of flat-faced dogs to act responsibly and ethically to dramatically improve breeding practices with the goal of returning these deserving dogs to good health and a good quality of life.

I spend a lot of time advising pet parents on 'safe' bones and chews, yet many believe their pup is immune to fractured teeth. And that's tragic as these popular chews can result in lots of broken teeth that can lead to extreme pain and infection, without you even knowing for months or years. Antlers have become very popular dog chews, but as an unfortunate side effect, veterinarians are seeing a lot of broken teeth, including carnassial teeth in the back of dogs’ mouths Because dogs have a very strong vertical bite force, any object that is harder than their teeth can result in fractures Broken teeth can lead to a bacterial infection that destroys the root of the tooth and results in bone loss, requiring extraction or root canal therapy If you suspect your dog has cracked a tooth, it’s important to make an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible In selecting recreational bones or chews, the key is to pair the personality, breed, age and tooth condition of your dog with the right type of chew. Antlers and other very hard bones should never be offered to aggressive chewers Article link: https://bit.ly/3RU2hyb Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3DMX1nS Website: https://bit.ly/3s0cHlh Podcast: https://bit.ly/3KwKSr1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarkWhiskers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bark_whiskers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bark_whiskers Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@barkandwhiskers Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/barkwhiskers/

Ann has a Master's in counseling, but through the loss of her beloved Golden Retriever she found her true calling, and switched her focus to pet loss and bereavement counseling. Topics we discuss today include society's stigmatization of pet loss, knowing when to seek counseling and how to go about it, and how counseling can help grieving pet parents process the depth of their loss and begin to heal.

A devastating illness that hits 8,000 to 10,000 pets per year, the early symptoms can be subtle and hard to recognize. Pay close attention as your pet grows older, especially if he falls into one of these high-risk groups. Plus, what to do if you can't or won't do surgery. Osteosarcoma is a very aggressive bone cancer that is diagnosed in 8,000 to 10,000 dogs annually The disease is rare in cats and is seen most often in large and giant breed dogs. Dogs over 90 pounds account for about 33% of osteosarcoma cases Early symptoms of bone cancer are often subtle and can include swelling, intermittent lameness, and fractures. As the disease progresses, pain and lameness rapidly increase Osteosarcoma is diagnosed via x-rays and tissue samples. The cancer is then categorized as stage I, II, or III (the most advanced stage) Unfortunately, osteosarcoma has a poor prognosis. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and extend quantity and quality of life for as long as possible Article link: https://bit.ly/3LWLxm6 Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3DMX1nS Website: https://bit.ly/3s0cHlh Podcast: https://bit.ly/3KwKSr1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarkWhiskers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bark_whiskers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bark_whiskers Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@barkandwhiskers Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/barkwhiskers/

It can be alarming to find out that your pet's dry hacking cough or 'vomiting' isn't due to hairballs - or may not even be routine vomiting. Especially if you notice these other signs, such as wheezing or difficulty breathing, see your veterinarian immediately. The dry hacking cough in feline asthma is often mistaken for vomiting or coughing up hairballs, with the result that some pet parents are caught by surprise by a diagnosis of asthma. Beyond a dry hacking cough, other common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, labored breathing, and exercise intolerance; the symptoms of asthma in cats are also seen in several other serious diseases, so a quick and accurate diagnosis is crucial. The condition can be triggered by irritants inhaled both indoors (e.g., cat litter dust) and outside (e.g., grass, tree and weed pollen). Eliminating triggers, cleaning up your cat’s environment and diet, and a natural healing protocol can improve symptoms and potentially reduce the need for drugs to effectively manage your pet’s asthma.

Mary Jo Rulffes, president of the Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association (ACDRA), was nominated for a Game Changer Award by Nancy V. A serendipitous meeting during a 2013 shopping trip in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, brought Mary Jo Rulffes together with ACDRA, after she worked with them to rescue a cattle dog in need. Not only were they able to rescue the dog, but Rulffes ended up adopting her — and soon became president of ACDRA. ACDRA is run completely by volunteers and is 100% foster home based; since 2019, they've pulled about 850 dogs from Georgia alone. Rulffes continues to be inspired by those she's met along the way; her favorite part about working with ACDRA, aside from the dogs, is "the rescue family in the rescue".

Winter can be especially hard on your pet's skin. But, you can retain good skin quality even in the dry winter months. First of all, figure out which of these 4 culprits is the root cause of the problem. And treat them to a TLC massage with this natural immune builder. Cold weather and indoor heating can contribute to dry, flaky skin in pets Flaky skin in dogs and cats is often caused by lack of grooming or bathing, a dietary deficiency, or an underlying medical disorder. The goal should be to keep your pet’s skin and coat in good condition year-round to avoid cold weather dryness and flaking.

It's a big mistake to wait until every last symptom shows up. By then there's no holding back, and it often takes heavy meds for the rest of your pet's life to control. Too many vets gloss over this key early warning sign. Dogs don't suddenly wake up with this, so this is important. Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism) is a condition characterized by an ongoing release of too much cortisol by the adrenal glands. Cushing’s can produce a variety of diverse symptoms, including increased thirst and urination, hair loss and abdominal weight gain. Typical Cushing’s disease involves the overproduction of cortisol and can be either adrenal dependent, or more commonly, pituitary dependent; ‘atypical’ Cushing’s involves the overproduction of aldosterone or sex hormones. Many veterinarians disregard elevations in serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), an enzyme commonly out of range with Cushing’s patients, and a common reason why many cases are diagnosed only after the disease is full-blown. Cushing’s happens over time, so identifying pre-Cushing’s syndrome as early as possible and reducing the risk for full-blown disease is the best approach.

It could be an early warning sign of this uncomfortable syndrome. Discover its causes, what to ask your vet to do, whether you should ever opt for surgery, and the treatment you should never use. And most importantly, how to make your pet more comfortable. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or KCS, is also known as dry eye syndrome. Dry eye is a condition in which the tear mixture, which consists of oil, mucus and mostly water, is absent the water. Only oil and mucus are being secreted, which is why pets with KCS have thick, yellow discharge from their eyes. There are a number of causes of dry eye. The most common is immune mediated destruction of tissue in tear-producing glands. Other causes include canine distemper, herpes-related feline upper respiratory infection, trauma, certain antibiotics and anesthesia, and removal of the third eyelid lacrimal gland. A diagnosis of KCS requires a Schirmer tear test to measure the amount of tear production from the tear ducts and how much is available for the eye. A low level points to KCS. Your vet may also use a fluorescein stain to check the eyes for abrasions or ulcerations. A sample of aqueous fluid may be taken to measure the bacterial growth in the eye and whether there may be an underlying infection as well. Treatment of dry eye typically involves topical medications like artificial tears and lubricants that will be necessary in most cases for the rest of your pet’s life. If an underlying disease, allergy or infection is identified as the cause of the dry eye, it will also need to be treated. Owners of pets with KCS need to keep the eyes clean and free of discharge. Animals with very poor tear production will need their eyes lubricated many times each day. While these pets can become high maintenance in terms of keeping their eyes moist, it’s the only way to keep your companion feeling comfortable.

By the time your kitty reaches 11, he's considered a senior. With proper care, he can easily live another 8, 10, or even 12 years if he's in good health. How can you help your cat thrive, and give him the love and attention he needs when challenging old-age issues like vocalizing at night arise? Cats are officially seniors by the time they reach 11 years of age, and “super seniors” at 15 and beyond; kitties today often live well into their teens and early 20s. At around age 11, most cats have slowed down a bit, are more easily stressed in response to changes in their routine or environment and begin to develop the same types of health problems older humans face. A 12 to 15-year-old cat is likely to have some vision and hearing loss, and can also develop age-related cognitive dysfunction; kitties at this age tend to do a lot more napping. Kitties at 16 or older are moving and thinking more slowly and have probably developed a few age-related health issues; signs that your cat is in pain can include hiding, panting, shortness of breath, teeth grinding, loss of interest in food, or reluctance to move around. There are many things you can do to help your aging cat enjoy a good quality of life, including feeding the right nutrition, providing opportunities for exercise and environmental enrichment, offering beneficial supplements, and setting aside time each day to have positive interactions with your pet.

Bobcat fever, a tick-borne illness formally known as cytauxzoonosis, was diagnosed in a southern Illinois cat. If your cat spends time outdoors in an area where bobcats or ticks are present, be on the lookout for this life-threatening disease, which can prove to be fatal without early treatment. If you live in an area where bobcats are present, and you have a cat who frequents the outdoors, stay vigilant for a tick-borne disease called cytauxzoonosis, commonly known as bobcat fever Reports of infection have come from southern Illinois, where at least eight cats were affected in 2018, and one has been reported as of May 2019 At least 16 other states have also reported cases of cytauxzoonosis Fever, lethargy and loss of appetite are among the first signs of bobcat fever Sadly, cytauxzoonosis is often fatal in cats, although survival is possible, especially if treatment is started early Article link: https://bit.ly/3sT2fw5 Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3DMX1nS Website: https://bit.ly/3s0cHlh Podcast: https://bit.ly/3KwKSr1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarkWhiskers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bark_whiskers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bark_whiskers Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@barkandwhiskers Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/barkwhiskers/

Can help boost your pet's ability to fight cancer, shed toxins, cleanse the blood, and more. The nutrients are amazingly bioavailable, far better than any supplement. So it's worth trying to get them to eat it. How to do it right, whether or not your pet loves the first bite. Dogs, and to a lesser extent cats need vegetables for the roughage, phytonutrients, and antioxidants they provide, which mimics what would be found in their prey’s digestive tracts One of the best ways to provide vegetables to pets is by fermenting them. Fermented veggies are optimally digestible for dogs and cats, and they also offer powerful probiotic benefits Fermented vegetables are also potent chelators and detoxifiers, and the fermentation process makes the nutrients inside the veggies more bioavailable. Also, the lactic acid produced by fermentation is a chemical repressor that fights cancer cells without harming healthy cells Some pets willingly eat fermented vegetables, while others need a bit of prodding. Even if your pet is wild about her fermented veggies right off the bat, it’s important to start with very small amounts and build up gradually to 1 to 3 teaspoons per 20 pounds of body weight. It’s also important not to force vegetables on a pet who simply refuses to eat them If you’re interested in learning how to ferment your own veggies, we’ve included a how-to video demonstration by Dr. Mercola and Julie, a Mercola staff member Article link: https://bit.ly/3LtSVFv Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3DMX1nS Website: https://bit.ly/3s0cHlh Podcast: https://bit.ly/3KwKSr1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarkWhiskers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bark_whiskers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bark_whiskers Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@barkandwhiskers Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/barkwhiskers/

If you ask a conventional veterinarian or even a board-certified veterinary nutritionist if you should feed your dog or cat biologically appropriate pet food, you're bound to get a rapid response that it's not scientifically proven to be superior. But here's the dark secret they're not telling you. The big players in the ultraprocessed pet food industry seem confused as to whether biologically appropriate nutrition is important for dogs and cats Sales of biologically appropriate, fresher food commercial diets are increasing because a growing number of pet parents are searching for better ways to treat the epidemic of chronic illness in dogs and cats There is much less research into fresher, biologically appropriate diets, compared to ultraprocessed pet foods, however, existing studies do show that given the choice, both dogs and cats will choose to eat food very low in carbohydrates, and that fresher foods offer vast microbiome benefits While pet food industry giants and the conventional veterinary community continue to insist carb-heavy, highly refined, biologically inappropriate diets are just fine for dogs and cats, it will remain the job of pet parents to use common sense and seek better nutrition for their animal companions Article link: https://bit.ly/3LcT5Rk Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3DMX1nS Website: https://bit.ly/3s0cHlh Podcast: https://bit.ly/3KwKSr1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarkWhiskers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bark_whiskers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bark_whiskers Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@barkandwhiskers Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/barkwhiskers/
