And Stacey Cohn in the newsroom.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Well, you know what they'd say, that dog is man's
best friend. And there's one Utah man that can really
say that because his dog helped him win a million
bucks by locking him out of his car. I'll tell
you all the details coming out on Animal Radio News.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Okay, I had no clue there. You actually have your
dog picked the lotto numbers, don't you, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
But put put the numbers down on the floor in
the night, which one, whichever one she goes to?

Speaker 6 (00:56):
Did you ever do you ever get any winners?

Speaker 7 (00:58):
No?

Speaker 8 (00:58):
Did you guys see that old lady in the news
who got two hole in ones in the span of
two weeks at the same hole at the golf course.
Really yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's her fifth hole in one.
She's sixty nine years old.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Holy moly, what's your secret?

Speaker 8 (01:11):
I don't know, but the same. I mean, think of
the odds, the same hole, two hole in ones in
thirteen days.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's like the guy that won the lottery twice in
what a couple of months?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Sure, million dollars?

Speaker 8 (01:21):
How did he do that?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Hey, if we can get a radio show, anything's possible.

Speaker 8 (01:25):
This is a radio show. I thought we were just
hanging out.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I know, let's go to Tyson. Hey, Tyson, how are
you doing?

Speaker 9 (01:31):
How are you? I'm doing really well?

Speaker 8 (01:32):
Thanks?

Speaker 3 (01:32):
What's going on?

Speaker 9 (01:33):
The question? After listening for the first time this morning,
coming from tom Springs into Los Angeles. Aside from enjoying
the show, I was wondering about a question I had
about dogs and the rumor that has swirled about dogs
really don't have any comprehension of time. When you're gone
ten minutes, it seems like six months. I wanted to know,

(01:57):
first of all that was true. Second of all, if
it is true, is there any way that you could
assist your dogs? If it's you know, if it gets
to be kind of bad, and you know, they start
up the house or whatnot. But I'll tell you, a
true is pleasurable. Man. When you know when your dog
is so excited to see your day after day, multiple
times a day, it's great. But I was just wondering

(02:19):
if that's true or not and how we can help.

Speaker 8 (02:22):
Well, Hal has no concept of time. We all know that,
but there's been a lot of research done on dogs
in time, and dogs do have a concept of time.
It's not the same as humans concept of time because
humans have artificial means to measure time, like hours and
minutes and days, and humans also use episodes to travel
through time with their memories. For instance, they'll remember things

(02:44):
like a wedding day and they'll remember the people that
were there, and they'll remember how happy they were and
what kind of weather there was and things like that
or if something excuse me, I'm gonna cough. Hell hates that. Yeah,
But dogs definitely a lot of research done and dogs
do have a common concept of time as far as
how much has passed, and they've done experiments with They'll

(03:05):
leave a dog alone for our thirty minutes and the
owner comes home and he's mildly excited to see you,
and then you know four hours later the dog is
even more intensely excited to see you. So they do
they do know how much time has passed, or for instance,
how much food is in their bowl and how long
it's been empty. But you know, there's stomach growling will
tell them that too. So if you're leaving a dog
alone a lot, the best thing you can do for

(03:27):
that dog is does the dog have any anxiety? Does
your dog have anxiety when you leave?

Speaker 9 (03:33):
No, she's she's a two and a half year old
terrrier pitbull mostly carrier, and she's a whole bundle of joy.
But my mom opens up the blind by the window
by the garage and she'll go and she'll wait patiently.
She doesn't have much anxiety, but some dogs do.

Speaker 8 (03:50):
And the best the best thing you can do for
a dog, any dog, is to, especially a dog that's
left alone all day, if there's no anxiety, is to
make sure you give that dog like forty minutes of
your time to exercise and play. If you can do that,
you know you get home. Don't do it right when
you get home, because then that'll be a trigger for excitement.

(04:11):
You get home, just run of the mill, do what
you do. About a half hour into it. You don't
say anything. You take the dog out for a nice long,
brisk walk, or play fetch with the dog, or let
the dog run around the yard and throw toys and
chase the dog until the dog is exhausted. That is
the single most important thing you can do for a dog.
Dogs are like athletes exact. People don't realize dogs are

(04:32):
like trained olympians. I mean, they're born to run and
play and they've got to do that to be happy
and to tire themselves out and to get their energy out.
And that's how they get their energy out. And so
since they can't, they can't go to the twenty good
I'm sorry, buddy, Yeah, my bad.

Speaker 9 (04:48):
I just wanted to get this in there. You know,
like with cats with feelings, I understand the personalities are
way different, but on the comprehension of time and you leaving.
You know, we've had cats where they look at you
when you come in the door and they look like
they can almost hear less that you came over or not,
even though they do love you.

Speaker 8 (05:06):
But you know what I mean, it's like, well, do
are dogs are pack animals, so that you know when
when a member of the you know, in the dog world,
if you were like living with dogs, if we're all dogs,
a dog never leaves the pack without permission the alpha dog,
the leader says, okay, you can go out and investigate,
see if there's any food out there. But mostly they
spend every minute together as a pack. So it's very

(05:29):
stressful for a dog when when a human leaves, unless
that human is a firm leader, because then the dog knows, oh,
I don't have to I don't have to worry about it.
You know he's coming back. So you know, play with
your dog. If your dog has anxiety, try putting your
dog in a small room, leave a blanket with your
scent on it, leave some toys, stuff like that, because
you know, having the run of the house for a

(05:50):
dog can be stressful in itself, believe it or not.
So having a small confined space like a crate or
a small room that's you know, that's his, will make
him feel comfortable. That's why dogs are always under coffee
tables and they're always under things because they love small
enclosed spaces. So that's basically they do. But researchers believe
they do have a concept of how much time has passed.

Speaker 9 (06:12):
Now, what about my father passed away in April, and
I had gotten the dog, the puppy to replace our
beloved lady, a golden lab a retriever. I'm sorry, but
the dog, Haley, the new one, and my dad were
like you know, peanut, butter and jelly and you know,
I mean, they were just one together constantly. When my

(06:35):
dad passed it a dog, I mean, I don't know
if she if she actually knows it, does you know?

Speaker 8 (06:41):
Or dogs know when things die if it happens right
in front of them, and they actually get sad about it.
But you know with humans, they humans don't usually die
right or pass away right in front of their dogs.
So basically, you know, the pack leader has left, never
to return. Now that's okay, that's okay because you're the
PA and your dog will adjust fine, you know, and

(07:03):
have probably have memories of the past, remember certain things.
You know. Dogs certainly can remember what happened yesterday some
of it, so memory. Yeah, well, we don't know how
far they remember back, but yeah, they do know when
something does.

Speaker 9 (07:19):
Remember of a mission like to recognize people like you
know that they've only seen maybe once or twice.

Speaker 8 (07:24):
You know, well, they do that on the basis of scent.
Their sense of smell is unbelievable. It's it's it's amazing
and you know, everything and everyone smells differently, So after
a dog smells a person a couple of times, he
can recognize that person years later by the scent.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
Well, thanks all, I mean, I love the show, I
love the station. I'm going to continue to listen, and
I really appreciate you guys taking my question.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
Well, thanks for calling. I love when you call, right.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Thanks, take care of yourself, Tyson, We appreciate it.

Speaker 8 (07:56):
Ask him if I ask him, ask him if I
can come over his house and be fed off the
table later.

Speaker 10 (08:01):
How upset do you get being the training you are
And you go, oh, well, let's just say a friend's
house and they get unruly dogs and they just won't
listen to your advice or they always have an excuse
of why it doesn't work.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
I mean that, Seal Joseph.

Speaker 8 (08:14):
Joseph, that's the difference between me and you. My friends. See,
I'm very zen like I don't try to push myself
on the people, like how's always going, how's always going on?
I know this upset you. Your dog sleeping in bed
with people. I'm like, I don't care. You do whatever
you want to do. If people now, if someone asks me,
if someone says, hey, I have a problem, can you
help me, and I try to help them, and I
figure out later on they're just wasting my time. They're

(08:36):
not really They're not really gonna listen anything. Then it's
a little bit upsetting. But I never force advice on people.
I never say anything unless they start messing with my
dog or they ask, you know, like I told you
guy in the park.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Good, Well, completely you're right, We're completely different.

Speaker 10 (08:51):
I just had a situation yesterday, had a situation yesterday
with a ten month old toy poodle and two weeks prior,
gentlemen came in with this dog and the dog was
a little bit nasty, wanted to bite and I looked
at the dog. The dog was so knotted they had
like dreads hanging off it, and they just wanted me
to shave the dog's face, which I did for him,

(09:13):
and I told him, I said, listen, I said, understand
this because he was talking about grooming. When this dog
comes back in I hope you understand he's gonna have
to be cut down real short, because you know he's
he's he's a mess, and and he's like, no, I understand,
I understand.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
Well, yesterday, just yesterday, the.

Speaker 10 (09:29):
Woman comes in and I didn't meet the woman before,
but I recognized the dog right away, and immediately, I,
you know, I forgot the dog try to bite.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
I go to pet the dog. Dog dog wants to
bite me, so I back up and.

Speaker 10 (09:40):
The women, the woman wants to talk to me about
the haircut, so I stop her and I said, I said,
you know, let me. I want to hold you right
there because we're already talking about a style and it's
a style. I said that I that I'm not going
to be able to do. Your dog is gonna have
to be short. And right away she got very defensive
and what do you mean you mean you're just gonna
shave my dog down? You don't want to work on him?

(10:01):
And I said, no, we you know, we went we
went over this with your husband before when he was here,
and I explained to him, so I'm just explaining to
you before we get involved, and she just started going
on and on the bottom line is within three minutes.
I said, you know what, take your dog, get out,
get out, not even my salon.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
I threw her out.

Speaker 8 (10:19):
Well, you know you said you were dealing with the
boss right there, Joe the husband wasn't the boss. The
husband's like, yeah, I'll do whatever you say to everybody,
because she's got him trained so well, he doesn't even
know he can have an opinion. So then then she
comes and she's the boss. She's like, we're doing it
this way, and she's like, you know the point that
I'm getting at is it it's and you're good because
you don't get upset, but.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
That you know that that would upset me.

Speaker 10 (10:42):
Where you're trying to tell someone and you're trying to
let make them understand, especially with training, because I could
see that all the time because I'm the worst abuse.
I mean, I listened to you. I look at you,
and I hear everything, and I think I go home
and I and I implemented, I don't you know what.

Speaker 8 (10:57):
You put your you put your finger on the pulse
of the whole thing you said. You're trying to make
them understand. You can't make people understand anything. It's like
people have to people have to ask the question before
they get the answer, because if they're not asking the question,
they're not going to listen to the answer.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
So that didn't make me feel any better. Hell, that
answer didn't make me feel any better. Okay, whatting more
of a solution than that?

Speaker 8 (11:19):
The solution is a taser.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
There you go. I love that idea.

Speaker 8 (11:23):
Hell's being very suspiciously quiet. There's something wrong. I think
he's watching two cockerroaches.

Listen to Animal Radio.

Speaker 8 (13:01):
Here's hol and Judy.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Hey, Kathy, how you doing.

Speaker 14 (13:04):
I'm real good. How about yourself?

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, I'm hoping your animal's okay?

Speaker 14 (13:08):
Well she is, and she isn't.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
What's going on.

Speaker 15 (13:13):
For a terrible answer, Well, let's hear about it.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Okay.

Speaker 14 (13:16):
She's one year old and she is speed. Her name
is Destiny. Okay, and she started having problems when she
would go on to lit her pan to have about movement.
She would come shooting out and kind of drag her
rear end on the floor a little bit, and we
thought at first maybe she had a hair because sometimes

(13:37):
you know that they get stuck in all that. But
it would happen more than just once. So we took
her to the vet and the vet checked her out
and said that her anal glands had fluid in them.
So now she got the fluid out and then I
think she stuck her on and inflammatory for a little while,

(13:59):
but it was like two weeks after that Destiny would
start doing this again. So now she has her on
a steroid, which we're winging her off of it, and
she's also on a very bland diet because of finding
out about allergies. Now my vet said there could be
something else that's causing her to have this problem, because

(14:22):
it's not always that the anal glands are that swollen
or that filled up with fluid, but she couldn't think
of it at the time. Now you're going to say,
why don't I just go back to the vet. The
problem with that is she just had lost her daughter
in a very tragic accident, so she's taking some time
off and I don't like to disturb her, of course

(14:44):
with that.

Speaker 15 (14:45):
Okay, certainly.

Speaker 16 (14:46):
So now I got to ask you, Kathy, with your
with your Katie, what was the status of the stool
when she was having this problem?

Speaker 15 (14:52):
Was there diarrhea or constipation?

Speaker 14 (14:55):
Just normal?

Speaker 16 (14:56):
It was normal, but she was still coming running out
of the poop box. Yes, okay, all right, because there's
a lot of different things. When we're talking about something
that's causing that dramatic of a situation coming out of
the box, We're really going to look for anything that's
causing pain. And that could be constipation, it could be diarrhea.

Speaker 15 (15:15):
And it can be anal gland problems.

Speaker 16 (15:17):
You know, in cats, it's pretty uncommon, it can't happen,
but especially in a youngster like that.

Speaker 15 (15:22):
I look for some of these other potential causes.

Speaker 16 (15:25):
And as we're as they're working on some of the
diet management and the poops are normal. I'm really happy
to hear that her stools are good. But we're going
to have some challenges as far as now right now,
is she using the litter box? Are we having any
issues with that?

Speaker 14 (15:39):
No, we have problems now with that. So you're in
need in there but she won't have her belvel been
in there, and I'm thinking she's afraid it's going to
hurt if she goes in there.

Speaker 15 (15:49):
Absolutely absolutely, Well, I don't.

Speaker 14 (15:50):
Know how to figure out how to film with that
party either.

Speaker 16 (15:54):
Okay, Well, if the if the stool situation is improving
so that we're poop being comfortably, we're certain that she's
not in discomfort. We have to deal with this litter
box a version, which is a huge problem in kat.
So if you're kitty knows where the litter box is,
uses it and stops using it all of a sudden,
especially if they're urinating and defecating outside of the box,

(16:17):
we really have to look at the situation in the
litter box. Now, for you are a kitty, we can
really pair that with something painful and uncomfortable, and kats,
when faced with that in the litter box, will refuse
to go back to that. And yeah, so we have
to retrain her to the whole litter box experience. And
that means we're gonna we're gonna start fresh. So we're
going to find a new location for.

Speaker 15 (16:38):
That litter box.

Speaker 16 (16:39):
We're going to add more litter boxes, and we're going
to change the whole structure in the environment. So depending
on what type of litter substrate you've used before, we're
going to ask you to experiment with that. So if
you've used scoopable, we'll maybe go to clay.

Speaker 15 (16:52):
If you had a.

Speaker 16 (16:53):
Lid on that litter box, get that lid off and
set it aside. We'll go back to that later, but
initially we need to train her without anything that's gonna
cause any kind of compromising of her emotional state, if
you will, okay, And then we're gonna also want to
make sure that we change. Some kitties like easy entry
into litter boxes, so I may even change the shape

(17:15):
of the litter box. You don't have to buy those
those silly ones at the pet store. You can make
your own, even out of plastic storage container trays, and
those are really nice, especially for older kitties that have
troubles with missing the box because it can be a
low edge. It's a pain to clean because they scoop
and they scratch things out. But for the cat when

(17:35):
we're trying to train them to make.

Speaker 15 (17:36):
It as easy as possible, it's.

Speaker 16 (17:38):
One other technique you can try to really make that
less scary.

Speaker 15 (17:42):
Or less of a imposition for her to use that.

Speaker 16 (17:45):
So we've had to do all of that and do not,
like I said, do not put that little box in
the same location. Just the location alone can be a
very big problem for many cats.

Speaker 14 (17:54):
Yeah, because when she goes, it's always close to where
the litter p it is, but you know, she won't
go in there.

Speaker 16 (18:03):
Exactly, and it's kind of like, you know, oh gosh,
you know when you go camping, you know there's those
water potties and you know, you just don't want to
use them sometimes. You know, I don't know anybody who
might do this and go off into the woods and
go in the woods instead of using the porter potties,
but it does happen, and it's the same thing that
our kiddies are experiencing. They want to use it, they
know it's the right place, but they just can't do it.

(18:25):
So I think you've got the you know, the right idea.
We just have to get those things together to give
her a new location, a new whole sense of the
litterbox experience, and then gradually when she starts using that,
then we can try to work back to the location
or the preferences you have but we've got to set
that pattern first.

Speaker 14 (18:43):
So what do you think could be causing the pain
when she goes if her anal glands aren't always filled
with fluid.

Speaker 16 (18:51):
Yeah, for me, I do a lot of the same
approaches that your doctor has done, where we change the diets.
I actually grows buses says, I like evidence, and I
will actually ask my clients to bring the poop in
because I want I want to see that full movement.
Sometimes there can be changes in the shape or the
size of a cat's stool, and let me give us

(19:12):
some hints to some problems. If there's any kind.

Speaker 15 (19:15):
Of looseness with that.

Speaker 16 (19:17):
Sometimes that may mean that, you know, maybe we really
don't have a constipation issue, maybe we have more of
a parasite.

Speaker 15 (19:24):
So those type of things we might want to deal with.

Speaker 16 (19:26):
Okay, it's kind of challenging, And I know you don't
want to trouble your vet and you don't want to
hit upon her in her time of trials, but you're
kindie has needs to So I think that's, you know,
a valid thing. And most veterinarians have fillins or substitutes,
folks that can kind of work in their absence and
and I think that.

Speaker 15 (19:44):
Would be very important for your baby.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Good luck with that cat.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
We think if you're call keep us posted. If you
need to follow up, we could do that for you.

Speaker 17 (19:58):
Do you have an old car sitting around your house,
maybe you're even paying insurance on it. Well, if you
don't need that car anymore, donate it running or not
to the United Breast Cancer Foundation. They will even come
and pick it up for free and give you a
receipt for a tax donation. Breast cancer screening could save
the life of someone you love, and right now they

(20:19):
need your help. They want to save more lives through
early detection by offering women free or low cost breast
screening exams. And that's what your old car helps to
pay for. So get your phone out and call right
now to donate your car to the United Breast Cancer Foundation. Remember,
they will come pick it up for free and give
you a tax donation receipt. Call right now.

Speaker 18 (20:57):
This is an animal radio news update.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
I'm Stacy Cohen for Animal Radio. Police in China may
have been a little confused by a recent porky gift,
but it turns out it was just a way for
a local farmer to say thanks. Orange News reports Lynn
Wrong gave the police force in Nanning a giant pig
from her farm. She explains that the cops helped her
out about fifteen years ago after her husband died and

(21:21):
she was left to run the family farm on her own.

Speaker 8 (21:23):
Well.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
She says she's very wealthy now and the pig was
the least she could do, even if it took a while.
She admits that many of the officers have probably moved
on by now, but she says the cops who are
there now are just as deserving for the work that
they do in the area. A police spokesman said they
were very moved by the gift. You see, you can
either bring cookies or a pig. I think the pig

(21:45):
says so much more. One Texas teen fourteen year old
is already learning how to earn the big bucks. According
to the fort Worth Star Telegram, Wyatt Blaylock took home
about twenty one thousand dollars for a steer at the
sale of champions during the fort Worth Stock Show. Members
of the stock Show Syndicate, which raises millions of dollars
for the show, began a bidding war when Blaylock's steer

(22:07):
went up for sale after they learned that his father
had passed away from brain cancer. Well Syndicate member Gary
Ray says that Blaylock deserves this considering all he's been through.
In addition to getting up before dawn to care for
his cattle, Wyatt also helped take care of his dying father.
While Blaylock was speechless after the final bid was cast,
he later said he already had plans for the money.

(22:29):
He plans on putting the money towards his future education
at Texas A and M University. A Utah man has
his dog to thank for leading him to a winning
lottery ticket. Steve Hughes stopped at a gas station in Boise, Idaho,
to fill up, but his dog Stella, locked him out
of his truck while during his forty five minute wait
to get back in his vehicle, Hughes decided to buy

(22:50):
the lotto tickets that he had to get anyway for
himself and the thirty three other University of Utah employees
that he's played with since two thousand and one. Well,
he was apparently destined to get stranded at that gas
station because he ended up buying what turned out to
be the million dollar winner. Hughes and the rest of
the group chartered a fun bust to make their way
back to Idaho to pick up their winnings, which came

(23:11):
to a little under twenty thousand bucks apiece when they
split it thirty four ways. A woman in Plover, Wisconsin,
is facing a viction because of three hundred rats that
are in her trailer. The Wasuit Daily Herald reports that
Darlene Flatoff has been keeping the extensive number of rodentsenter
trailers since last March, and apparently she just lets them

(23:32):
run loose. There's nothing like having a bunch of rats
run around. Flatloff reported started collecting domesticated rats from pet
stores and then let them breed with wild rats. It's
a great combo. It makes for the perfect rat. Eventually,
the offspring took over her home, but apparently health officials
discovered the problem last fall, and they say the home
is not capable to dispose of sewage properly. There's evidence

(23:55):
of rat feces all over that property and the problem
is so bad. Official have no choice but to capture
the rats and then demolish the house once she leaves
the mobile home. It's going to take exterminators about four
weeks to capture all those rats. I'm Stacey Cohen. Get

It's animal Radio. Jimmie Hendrick's a big guppy lover. Not
a lot of people know this.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
He had a lot of guppies.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
And he made one.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
He would he did play a left handed guppy and
he would always talk baby talk to his guppies.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
Yes, it is baby talked down the show today. Dr Gebbie,
you're so cute.

Speaker 15 (24:52):
Oh, stupitch, I'm going to smack you in your fish.

Speaker 8 (24:55):
My little cutting crumbcake bear.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh my gosh, let's hit the phone.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Hianna, how are you doing?

Speaker 20 (25:01):
I'm good?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Where are you calling from?

Speaker 20 (25:03):
Reading Pennsylvania?

Speaker 8 (25:04):
Is ready?

Speaker 3 (25:05):
No listening on w E EU?

Speaker 20 (25:07):
Well, yes, I usually do in the morning, and that's
one of the programs when I get up early. I
just sit down, relax and listen to what your folks
have to say, and chair, Oh.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Good, that's good to hear.

Speaker 11 (25:19):
A learned a lot.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
A lot of people say they call it and they listened
to the show because they can't change the channel, didn't
the radio is broken, or they're yeah, but it's good
to hear that you're listening. What's going on in your world.

Speaker 20 (25:31):
Well, almost lost a dog to products that the FDA
was aware. We're not faulty, we're something that were making
dogs sick, dogs were dying and I knew nothing about it,
had no idea. And it's package is Milo's Kitchen Okay
with a small chicken meatball treat and it says product
of the United States on the front. And that's why

(25:52):
I grabbed it. I truly thought it was a good product.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Now we all know that China as of late has
been distributing chicken reach that are what did they cause it?

Speaker 3 (26:02):
What are the problem? Do they have salmonilla doc whatever?

Speaker 7 (26:04):
You know?

Speaker 16 (26:04):
They really don't know, but they've been looking at this
with the FDA, and jerky products have something in them,
and particularly some of the ingredients are coming from China.
And just like she's mentioning, it's not always a product
that's produced primarily in China. They outsourced the ingredients from China,
and actually, in the last decade, China has become a

(26:26):
majority of the producers for dog pet foods and ingredients.
So this is going to be something not maybe just
with jerky trees, but we really need to be vigilant
about watching with anti pet products to see where they're
sourced from.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
So this package said that it was made in the USA.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Is that and it's not, Well, it is made in
the US, but that's how they're skirting around it.

Speaker 20 (26:46):
They are. It certainly does and everything I read, I've
been reading so much because my little guy, he's a
four year old, normally very healthy poodle that I rescued
any other rough start his life was two years in
a before I got him.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
And what happened after getting the treats terribly.

Speaker 20 (27:03):
Sick, I mean vomiting uncontrollably diarrhea, and that went over
a period of days. It didn't happen immediately. It happened
over a period about seven days. And I did not
pick up on this being serious. I thought, oh, upset tummy.
You know, I had the flu, so I figured he
was sick, you know, I'm not thinking this was something serious,

(27:24):
and I went to work. I'd given him two of
the treats, went to work, came back after an eight
hour day and had to rush a dog to ven
anarians clinic because he was in very poor shape, and
ended up with getting shots for the diarrheas shots for
the vomiting fluids because he was severely dehydrated. His little

(27:44):
body was just covered with his own vomit when I
picked him up in the evening when I came.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Home from work, did your vet know what was going on?

Speaker 9 (27:50):
Now?

Speaker 11 (27:51):
Now?

Speaker 20 (27:51):
Had no idea, and we were eliminating all kinds of
things with X rays and blood tests and the urine
came back with higher protein, which was an alarm button
for her, and she explained why I thought he had
been poisoned. You know, he had been out in the
yard in the morning, but I go out with him,
and yes, dogs pick up things that they shouldn't, but

(28:13):
I didn't see him do anything like that. He's on
a good dog food. I don't know if I'm allowed
to say the name of it, but it's a dry
dog food. He's been on it for two years, no symptoms.
But I added the treats. He got them for Christmas,
and I start giving him these little they call them
meatbolls chicken meatbals. It's a moist product. It is packaged

(28:33):
in a bag and it has a chemical strip that
you put in there so it doesn't spoil. Well, that
was kind of an alarm for me, but I still
trusted something made in the United States according to the package.

Speaker 16 (28:47):
Yeah, and you know, I've seen actually quite a few
patients that have had illness after eating these type of
jerky things. And I think it's important you mentioned that,
you know, you were talking about a meatball type product.

Speaker 15 (28:59):
So yeah, a lot of people think I'm feeding jerky.
I'm not feeding jerky. I'm okay.

Speaker 16 (29:03):
Well, you know, we've seen this with not just chicken
based jerkis, but also ducks, sweet potato and some of
the treats that are just wrapped with you know, the jerkys.
And I've had pets where they have the digestive problems, vomiting, diarrhea,
dehydration like you mentioned, but we'll also go onto kidney
failure as well, and that's where a lot of the
deaths have been documented.

Speaker 15 (29:22):
With the jerky ingestion.

Speaker 16 (29:24):
So you know, For me, I think the bottom line
is everything is suspect when your pet is ill. So
for me, I have had clients that will come in
and I used to say, you know, what's new that
you're feeding your pet and they'll say, nothing's new.

Speaker 15 (29:39):
I've been doing this for years.

Speaker 16 (29:41):
Well it doesn't matter anymore, So you need to kind
of kind of spill it all out. So you're feeding
this jerky product, this dry biscuit, this food, this canned food,
and that for me has been a really big thing
to really get to the history of some of these
guys and t de detect it maybe before we get
you know, horribly ill.

Speaker 20 (29:57):
Well, it's a laundry list from the SPA site. I
went up and read that and still reading it. And
the Milo's kitchen products chicken meat poles are now showing
up and it is impacting dogs that are young and
all the like, and many of them are not surviving.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well, now, how do we pick our treats?

Speaker 20 (30:17):
Doc, Yeah, we are doing.

Speaker 15 (30:20):
The best recommendation right now.

Speaker 16 (30:21):
And the problem is that the FDA can't say we're
going to ban all imports from China unless they can
detect what the problem is. And that's what's so frustrating.
All the peda owners are saying, why don't you stop this?
And they have to be able to say we're stopping
it because we've detected this in your products. Right, But
until then, my best recommendation is I do not feed

(30:42):
jerky products to my dogs. You feed a good quality
dog food. Treats are the extra thing you give, So
for me, I would just say, you don't have to
feed it, find an alternate treat product that you can give.
It's just not worth the risk at this point.

Speaker 20 (30:56):
It's not and everything that I'm reading, FDA knew about this,
and New York City Department of ag asked Milo's Kitchen
to recall it, and they did not. They just maybe
recall January ninth of this year. Wow, so three hundred
dogs have died and people were aware and the trace

(31:16):
ettlement so far goes back to the type of antibiotics
being used in the chickens that are raised in China.

Speaker 6 (31:23):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (31:23):
Okay, well that was actually a little different product recall
that was related to antibatic residues. So they still haven't
figured out for the deaths of all these animals, that's
still an undetected component for that so unfortunately, there's lots
of recalls out there.

Speaker 20 (31:38):
Yes, sure are, That's what I'm learning, And the more
I read, the more I go, oh my gosh, I
won't give them any treatment.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
That's probably a wise move right there. You got to
watch out.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
If it says it's made in the USA, doesn't necessarily
mean that all the products that are in it are
from the USA.

Speaker 16 (31:53):
Wow.

Speaker 21 (31:57):

Speaker 8 (32:57):
Hey, this is Sean Hayes on Animal Rate. Remember to
spay and neuter your pets.

Speaker 6 (33:05):
Who dog?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
I wish this wasn't radio. You can see all of
us dancing in the studio. Here put a motley crew.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
You can't stand still, and that music goes.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
The saga continues with Joey Turner enter across the street
pit bull?

Speaker 3 (33:24):
How is that going?

Speaker 6 (33:25):
By the way?

Speaker 7 (33:27):
Oh god.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
For those of you that don't know the saga, well,
Joey Turner has a brand new neighbor and he's not
a real nice guy. He has a what is it
a pit bull?

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Joy?

Speaker 7 (33:37):
It is?

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yes, And you're trying to make friends, or at least
befriend this pit bull and you're having the hardest time.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
This guy says, admittedly he has a red zone pit bull.

Speaker 8 (33:46):
Have you talked to the guy at all? Have you
had a conversation? Oh?

Speaker 7 (33:50):
Well, shall I say you open your mouth with this
man and you say, could we talk about your dog?
And it's like no and walks away.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
He walks away, Yeah, just because he doesn't know what
to do. You know what I think, joy kill him
with kindness. You know. If that doesn't work, use the
Joey Vellani method while you're giving them cookies. You know,
break a leg, give him a cookie. That will work,
it's more fun.

Speaker 7 (34:13):
Right before I came in, we walked by this little
dog's place again, and Alan, I really did take your advice.
Ignored him, toss in him treats over the fence. I
have this little baby, four month old Golden Retriever, and
she thinks all dogs are friendly, so of course she
wants to go over the fence. So you have to
step on this person's property to get a treat that

(34:35):
at least the light enough treats I give him through
the fence. So the man saw me. He screamed at
me for.

Speaker 15 (34:43):
Stepping on his property.

Speaker 7 (34:45):
Oh, stop giving his dog those treats. Oh can I
say that on the hair?

Speaker 8 (34:51):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (34:52):
So what do I do now?

Speaker 8 (34:54):
Well, you could shoot him with a water gun. That'll
distract him for a second.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
The dog or the owner both get a fire hose.

Speaker 8 (35:02):
There's nothing you can do. But here's here's the thing.
The street has northeast Western. You can just go the
other way. Don't even walk by the house because actually
his dog shouldn't be out there because it enhances the
dog's territorial anxiety, his aggression, his territorial aggression. So you know,
the more people go by that that fence and talk

(35:23):
to that dog or or respond to that dog, the
more agitated he's gonna get. So if you can't walk
by every day and ignore him and just throw a
treat and walk away, you should just walk the other way.
Just don't even go buy that house.

Speaker 7 (35:35):
Well, you know I have could do that, except I
live on a loop. So if I walk out, whichever
direction I walk out, it brings me back around past
that house to get back to my house.

Speaker 8 (35:45):
You mean you're trapped. You can't go to the store.
How do you eat?

Speaker 15 (35:48):
I mean, oh, well, I have to go.

Speaker 7 (35:50):
I can't get back to my house if I go
the other way from his house. Yeah, And to come
back around to my house, I either have to keep
going around and go past his house, or I have
to take a streak that leaves the loop and I
don't ever get home on that street.

Speaker 8 (36:09):
Just walk by the house and pay no attention to
that dog. Just walk by, pay no attention, and you know,
there's nothing you can do. I mean really, there's nothing
you can do if you have an unreasonable dog owner.
There is nothing you can do.

Speaker 9 (36:23):
Now.

Speaker 8 (36:24):
If he wanted to learn and work with you and
change his dog's behavior, that'd be great. But he sounds
like a nut. And you know that's why his dog's nuts.
You can always gauge a dog by their owner. If
a dog's a lunatic, it usually means his owner is
really a lunatic. And that's how they get that way.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
His dogs are antisocial.

Speaker 6 (36:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (36:44):
See, this is where the Zen doesn't work. Okay, the
Zen don't work here. This is where the Joey Vani
method works. Okay, And you go there and you talk
to the guy very nicely, you know, smack him a
couple of times and explain.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
It to him, and then we move forward. Does the
NY thing don't work?

Speaker 10 (37:01):
I ain't walking past my walking around the block to
get to my house because I got a nut that
doesn't want to, you know, take care of his dog.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
We have a problem.

Speaker 8 (37:09):
They develop these behaviors because of people. You know. Now
there are dogs that have more aggressive personalities than others.
They're born with that. But that's when it takes a
strong leader, a very strong leader, you know, to basically
be that dog, be in charge of that dog, to
teach that dog that you know, hey, that behavior is
not cool. You can't act like that, and that can
be done. I mean, my dog barks. My dog's one

(37:31):
hundred and twenty pounds. He's a very powerful personality, and
he barks at people when they walk by, you know,
and he acts all tough and if I open the
window ever really quiet, that's it. He's done. You know,
he's learned who's in charge and that you know, he
doesn't have to do that when I'm around.

Speaker 10 (37:49):
The part that bothers me about that is is that's
really what what gives these breeds such a bad name,
you know, because when when that dog does get loose
and does you know, go after everything and gives it,
gives them you know it well exactly exactly. It's it's
a loaded gun. It's it's no different than you know people.
Not everyone can be pet on this.

Speaker 8 (38:08):
That's the problem, that's right, And he's got this dog.
I guarantee it locked away from people. The dog never
gets to be pet, never gets to be around other
dogs or other people. So that just intensifies the aggression.
And that's what this guy, he likes it. He must
like the dog being like that's very sad too. But
you're right, Joe, it gives the brit a bad name.

Speaker 10 (38:27):
So I gotta I gotta another question for you, then,
if you wanted to introduce that dog to another dog.
I mean, I've seen I've seen season do this on television.
I don't know if this is the only method where
he puts them in with a pack that's been a
pack for a while and then introduces that dog into
that pack just so to keep I guess, to keep
the the peace.

Speaker 6 (38:50):
I mean, is is that the only way?

Speaker 8 (38:51):
You know what? First of all, you gotta work on yourself.
The human has to work on the human. The human
has to be educated. When you have a dangerous dog
like that, you just can't go introduce that dog to
other dogs if that's never happened before, because all heck
is gonna break loose. You have to first teach the dog. Yeah,
you have to. It has to be a step by
step process, very slow process, very incremental process, to where

(39:15):
you slowly inch by inch. It's like getting into a
hot tub. You know that's one hundred and four degrees.
First you put your toe in, and you know, an
hour later you're in the hot tub. And it's the
same thing. With a dog that's not socialized, you just
can't introduce them into a situation where there's all these
other dogs. They're gonna go bananas, especially a dominant dog.
Now you know what Caesar does. With a dog that

(39:36):
isn't so tough, maybe that would be okay. But with
a pit bull who's a tough dog, alpha dog, you
know there's gonna be a dog fight and they fight
to the death. I mean, that's how they are. So
you want to prevent that, and it's your responsibility to
make sure that does not happen.

The connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio featuring
your dream team veterinarian doctor Debbie White and groomer Joey Vallani.
And here are your hosts, Halle Brums and Judy Francis.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Coming up in just a few minutes, we'll talk to
the author of the Dog Gone Good Cookbook. And what
is she She's putting together recipes for humans and for animals.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Is that the deal?

Speaker 15 (41:22):
I think so?

Speaker 5 (41:22):
I think these are meals you can enjoy together we'll
have to ask her.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Okay, that's all on the way right here.

Speaker 6 (41:27):
Stacey wanted to have tasty day.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
One of the recipes I was actually looking at for
tonight spaghetti and meatballs, chicken tenders with coconut and sesame seeds.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Wow, all very good. That's all in the way right here.
On Animal Radio, Stacey.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
Well, everybody seems to look at their pets as family members.
But you know what, they're not treating them like good
family members. If your kid was sick, you'd take it
to the doctor, right People are not taking their pets
to the vet. Could be the cost of vet bills,
but it's a problem because dogs and cats are not
getting vaccinated properly. I'll tell you about it coming up

(42:00):
on Animal Radio News.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Hey Christina, how you doing.

Speaker 23 (42:03):
I'm well, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 23 (42:06):
Al Talloma, California?

Speaker 8 (42:07):
Alt?

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Tallahoma? Is that northern or southern?

Speaker 23 (42:10):
We're actually in southern California, so.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
In the LA area, I take it exactly. There's so
many little suburbs around there. I have Alan cable right here.
What's up with your dog?

Speaker 23 (42:19):
Okay, So my dog recently he came to us when
he was about eight months old. We've had him about
a year and a half, but the last six months
I don't know what's going on with him. He follows
me everywhere. He only does it to me. He doesn't
do it to any other member of the family. If

(42:41):
I get up to leave the room, if I get
up in the middle of the night, he is right
on my hip everywhere.

Speaker 8 (42:49):
And what about when you leave the house?

Speaker 23 (42:51):
Honestly, I don't know. He's an inside outside don He's
both outside. He's very comfortable. We have four kids. When
they come home, you know, they'll let him in. They
play ball with him outside. Everything's normal.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
When you when you when you all excuse me, I'm sorry,
when you all, when you all leave the house, how
does he behaves?

Speaker 23 (43:13):
He goes outside, he lays down on the patio. He's
very calmed. He's a very dog.

Speaker 8 (43:20):
And you say it started six months ago. When you
are walking around and he's following you, what are you doing?
What do you say? What do you do?

Speaker 23 (43:27):
Usually, you know, if he first comes in he seems
like he's excited. We tell him, you know, lay down,
settle and he will lay down. If I come home
from work, I'm in the kitchen making dinner. He really
wants to be in the kitchen, but I don't like
him in there when I'm making food, so he has
to stay in the living room. But he can see me.
If I go upstairs for something, he will follow me.

(43:50):
If I'm, you know, doing laundry, he follows me. Your
home doesn't do it to them.

Speaker 8 (43:56):
Do you let him follow you upstairs? Do you let
him follow you around?

Speaker 23 (44:01):
I tried working with him, especially only because I'm getting
up in the middle of the night to check on
my youngest daughter and literally at the top of the stairs.
I went downstairs to get something for her and I
almost tripped over him. So it really became like a
safety issue.

Speaker 8 (44:16):
All right, where's his where's his normal spot? Does he
have a spot? You know, a spot that's just his
in your house?

Speaker 23 (44:25):
There's two spots that he really likes. One of them
is right beside the bed, my side, okay, and that
is where he loves to be. The other part is
downstairs in the family room. A lot of the kids
hang out there, so, you know, late and he'll lay
down there. It's nice and cool for him.

Speaker 8 (44:41):
And you're and what is your husband like when he
comes home? Is he in charge of the dog. Who's
the boss? Are you the boss?

Speaker 23 (44:47):
I'm the boss?

Speaker 8 (44:48):
All right?

Speaker 11 (44:49):
My dog?

Speaker 8 (44:50):
All right, so let's talk about that. Okay, you need
to be a more powerful, assertive boss. Right now the
dog is Yes, the dog is challenging you and he's
trying to be the boss. Okay. So what you're gonna
do is he doesn't have separation anxiety. Because if you
leave the house and he's fine, and he's fine when

(45:10):
you guys are not around, Yeah, he's got no anxiety.
So that's good because anxiety is complicated and it's hard
to deal with. So since he doesn't have that, he's
just basically challenging you by following you around. So what
you're gonna do is you're gonna create a spot for him.
Maybe you've already got two spots, like you said, those
are gonna be a spots. Those are the places you're
gonna ask him to go, maybe even in another room.

(45:32):
But the first thing you're gonna do is don't let
him sleep in your room with you. That's your space,
that's your spot, that is not his, that's yours. There
has to be a place that's just yours that he's
not allowed in, it's off limits. And those subtile cues
teach dogs that you're in charge, like who enters the
house first. If the dog is allowed to run in
the house in front of you, then he's in charge.

(45:55):
If a dog is allowed to go all over the house,
he's in charge. If a dog is allowed to lay
in your spot on the ca she's in charge. A
lot of people will sit down on the couch where
the dog isn't instead of making the dog move, and
all these little subtle clues and hints that you give
a dog tell him, hey, I'm the boss here. So
you're letting him follow you all over the house. You're
letting him get in your way, You're letting him stand

(46:16):
in front of you. You know, if a dog is
in your way, you don't walk around him, You walk
right through him. You know, you go move, you walk
right through him.

Speaker 23 (46:24):
Said, when we let him in or lewis one, he
will completely give to her because she's a toddler. And
I think it was well understood. You know, when we walk,
the stroller goes first. He has to sit before he
comes in. But you're absolutely right, I step over him
and go around him. And maybe no kind of baby him.

Speaker 8 (46:43):
You don't want to baby him. You want to be
the boss. He's a dog, okay, he's not a person.
And a lot of people will be like, oh, I'm
leaving the house. No good dog, I'll be home soon.
That is the exact opposite of what you should do.
When a dog's doing something you don't like. You don't
talk to him. You don't you don't give any attention.
If he's in your way, you just walk right through him.
You take the space. The space belongs to you. That's right.

(47:06):
You don't let him sleep in your room near your bed,
because that's your space. My dog, you know, my dog
lives in my kitchen. He's a big dog. I've got
five acres. He lives in the backyard. But when he's
in the house, he's in the kitchen and he's got
a rug in the kitchen. That's his spot. And when
he's on that spot, good things happen. When he's off
the spot, nothing happens. I mean, it's okay for him

(47:26):
to leave the spot. He can go lay under the table,
he can go lay by the computer. But when he
goes to his spot, he gets attention. I'm like, good boy,
And then he lays down, he's all mellow and calm,
and then I'll go by and give him a pet
or I'll give him a treat. But that's where good
things happen. And he has learned that that's his spot
and that's where he belongs, and that if he's there,

(47:47):
something nice happens, and I that he isn't. Nothing good happens,
and he's not allowed anywhere else in the house. It
all belongs to me, it's mine, It belongs to everybody
but him. So he's happy because he knows what the
rules are recommend.

Speaker 23 (48:00):
He has a dog house, and he has a dog
bed that's outside, and he likes to lay on the slate.
Do you recommend bringing something in like his own, like
making that area understood, like you know what the faunt
now yours, I claim my bedroom back. You're only allowed
in that area. Do you recommend bringing some items into
the house so he knows that?

Speaker 8 (48:19):
Well, you gotta be because you've given him free run
of the house. Now you've got to be careful and
go slow. Always go slow when you're teaching a dog
where his spot is. You decide where the spot's going
to be. And remember they love to be around you,
you know, So it's good if they have a spot
that is around you. If he doesn't like Like I said,
he lives in the kitchen and you know that's where
all the eating is going on. That's where people gather. Right.

(48:42):
But he's taught. My dog is taught. This is where
you stay. Especially when he's taught when we eat, to
go to the opposite end of the room to his
spot and immediately lie down. I don't even have to
tell him to do that. He doesn't. So you got
to go slow. Now, pick a spot, whatever spot that is,
and teach him that's his spot, and tell him and
actually use that word. Go to your spot, go to
your rug, whatever it is you want. When he goes

(49:03):
there and he's calm, he's not doing anything, he stops
staring at you, that's when you give him affection.

Speaker 23 (49:10):
Ah. You know he's a big dog too. He's an
English masters, so he's literally his head's right at your hip,
you know, right there by your hands.

Speaker 8 (49:19):
A matter of way, like pushing.

Speaker 23 (49:21):
Him away a little bit like come on, okay, what
do you need attention?

Speaker 8 (49:23):
You know, thinking that no, don't don't even think, don't no,
don't even don't even think that stuff. Don't think that stuff.
Just walk through him and show him away with a
hand motion and tell him to go to his spot.
Give him no attention. In other words, you know what,
You ignore him when he's in your way. You just
walk through him and take the space. You only give
him attention when he's doing what you want. You never

(49:45):
give him attention when he's not doing what you want.
He'll figure out real quick how to get attention. Dogs
do a lot of bad things to get attention, because
any attention to a dog is good attention. You know,
they don't care as long as they're getting a reaction
out of you. It's wonderful.

Speaker 24 (49:59):
I've been creating.

Speaker 8 (50:46):
Hi Talent Cable, thanks for stopping by today. We're going
to talk about something unpleasant to you and me, very unpleasant,
but totally natural to some dogs. I think you probably
figured out dog's lead just about anything, including their own,
you know, whow And as gross as that sounds and looks,
it's common. Sometimes it can be a sign of loneliness

(51:06):
or being bored, could be anxiety, or maybe your dog
is copying other dogs. Sometimes it's because the dog learns
that when there's number two around, he gets punished, so
he's actually making it disappear so you won't be mad
at him. Sometimes he's just cleaning up his living space.
And yep, sometimes a dog enjoys it. He really doesn't
present a problem except that we hate seeing it. And
you know, a lot of folks like when their dogs

(51:27):
give them that their kiss. And if you know your
dog's doing that, it's gonna click in your brain after
it's already too late.

Speaker 6 (51:34):
Huh.

Speaker 25 (51:34):
First thing you can do to try to stop it
is to give your dog more attention and lots of exercise,
and feed him more than once a day so he
has something to look forward to, and also because it'll
keep him from getting hungry throughout the day and tempted.
Also pick up after him as quick as you can.
Like we said before, he might be cleaning his living space,
which is your job. The most important thing, though, is
to first make sure there's nothing wrong by taking him

(51:56):
to the bat. There could be something physical causing it,
like worms or other pairsites. Because they rob your dog
of essential nutrients. He might be eating whatever he can
find to make up for it. As always, the way
to stop a dog from doing something like chasing cars
or you know what it is we're talking about that
we don't want to talk about, is to make a quick,
firm correction and teach your dog to command leave it

(52:16):
or no bite. You know, it's almost like a shove
on the shoulder, Hey, leave it. You can do it
by tugging on a leash real quick again saying leave
it or no bite, or buy a quick poke with
your fingers in the neck, all at the same time
saying leave it or no bite. Something to change his attention,
to take it away from what he's doing. As soon
as he stops the behavior you don't want him to do,
you praise him, maybe even give him a treat. That's
probably the most important thing.

Speaker 8 (52:36):
Always remember to praise your dog for desired behavior because
you want to set your dog up for success. Hey,

Speaker 2 (53:58):
You're listening to Animal Radio.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Here's Allan, Judy, Hi, Susan, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 24 (54:03):
Hi, thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
What's going on with your dog?

Speaker 24 (54:06):
Okay? Well, she's a nine year old about eighty pound
Rhodesian ridgeback mix and she had eaten about twenty green
bell tomatoes and resulting in seizures.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Oh my, tomatoes can cause seizures.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
I did not know that.

Speaker 16 (54:23):
Yes, now, so where's she at now? Is she in
a veterinary clinic?

Speaker 24 (54:28):
No, it happened end of July. We noticed her first
seizure and so and then we noticed another one. We
ended up taking her to the emergency clinic at night
and they said it was probably that it's from solinine,
which is in the green tomatoes. Brought her back home,
went to see the doctor. She's on pheno barbaritol right now.

(54:50):
And then it wasn't quite controlling all of them, so
she was placed on valium.

Speaker 16 (54:56):
Okay, Yeah, now i'd have to say without having rein
jat uestion, No, I'll back up here solanine and the
concern with green tomatoes, raw potatoes even and all the
greens that are involved with the tomato plant. The potato
plant contained toxins that can cause all sorts of things.
Sometimes it'll cause vomiting, diarrhea. Sometimes it'll be a matter

(55:17):
of causing really severe depression, hard arrhythmias. Some cases it'll
cause kidney failure or seizure, so it has different effects.
It would be a bit unusual to have a sustained
ongoing seizure problem as a result of this toxicity back
in July. If she were re ingesting and have the
opportunity to get into more, I might be able to

(55:40):
make a case that that's in some way related to
things at this point. So I'm not sure I would
say it would be unlikely that that's still going on
from there. Are the is the phoenobarbetal seeming to control
things or you're just touching it up with the.

Speaker 15 (55:56):
Valume to help out.

Speaker 24 (55:58):
Yeah, just like you sent the valium to help out
they're not grand mall seizures. They're kind of a milder ones.
She gets weak and drooling.

Speaker 16 (56:11):
Okay, and is she having a possible re exposure.

Speaker 15 (56:15):
Is she getting into these things again?

Speaker 24 (56:17):
Oh no, not at all. We've definitely closed off that area.
I didn't even know about this problem with green tomatoes,
so actually I had given her some because I thought
she liked them. Oh no, So I feel careful about that.
But you know, I read somewhere that they're fat soluble.
This toxin not water soluble. So that's why I thought, Oh,

(56:40):
it's going to take longer for it to get out
of the body.

Speaker 16 (56:44):
Yeah, And I have never heard of a pet having
this delayed of a seizure type response with that, So no,
I can't say that that's very likely. Now, there are
some other good anti convulsions we can add in, And
the tough thing with valium is it's just so short
it doesn't really give us preventative seizure protection. So if

(57:04):
phenobarbatol isn't doing it well enough a lot of times,
there's other ones like potassium bromide that we can add
in as a secondary anti seizure medicine to help get better. Control,
and that might be something to look at for your
kid to see if that kind of helps control it.

Speaker 15 (57:20):
Because even if a seizure isn't.

Speaker 16 (57:21):
A Grandma seizure where they're falling over and drooling and
losing control of their bodily functions, it's still not good.
So we would want to try our best to try
to help control that a bit more thoroughly. So I
might see about looking into that and you know, and definitely,
you know, like I said, making sure there's nothing else
that she's getting into as far as any other toxins

(57:43):
or any problems with that.

Speaker 24 (57:44):
Right, Okay, well, thank you very much. Yeah, she's one
of those dogs that you know, eats eats everything.

Speaker 16 (57:53):
Most dogs, well you know, ridgebacks are, they're very inquisitive.
And I'll tell you with my labradors, any thing goes when.

Speaker 15 (58:01):
It comes to them. If it has the inkling of
an odor of food that's been sitting next to it,
that product is going to be eaten.

Speaker 16 (58:07):
So yeah, well, my best wish is to you, Susan,
and I hope you get some control of those seizures.
But polypharmacy is what we call when we add any
secondary seizure.

Speaker 15 (58:16):
Medications so I would definitely advocate that.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Thanks for your call, Susan. Now this is for only
green tomatoes, because I know Taco night is the big
night for Ladybug, the studio stunt dog. She loves to
eat the tomatoes, and we free feed her tomatoes.

Speaker 8 (58:29):
Is that okay?

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Is that okay?

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (58:31):
And that's the thing with this type of toxicity green tomatoes.
Unripe tomatoes contain the toxins. As the tomato ripens, it decreases.
So the fully ripe red tomatoes are perfectly fine. That's
not any concern. However, the plants could be still a
problem for a dog if they got into that and.

Speaker 8 (58:49):
Chewed on that.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
And what about potatoes.

Speaker 16 (58:51):
Potatoes can actually do the same thing, so the potato
plants and raw potatoes, So if a dog ate enough
raw potatoes, we could run into that. And it has
to do with the eyes and the little growth that
come off the potatoes.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
Okay, very good, good to know. I shouldn't be free
feeding by talk any of this stuff anyway, right, But
she just has those puppy I know what they mean
by puppy eyes. She lives up at me Dad, A
little bit of taco please.

Speaker 16 (59:15):
Hey, you know, we've had a really fun case and
very interesting and this is so common that I think
it's very important that our listeners tune into this. So,
female guinea pigs develop problems with the reproductive tract. And
we have a gal here who has lost a lot
of hair on her body, on both her right and
her left sides of her body. She's in good shape otherwise,

(59:37):
but her belly's kind of big and bloated.

Speaker 15 (59:39):
And what she actually has is cystic.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Ovaries cistic over what is that.

Speaker 15 (59:44):
Cistic overies, So her ovaries, the.

Speaker 16 (59:47):
Reproductive organs in the female, have expanded in size and
they're actually very fluid filled and they release hormones like
testosterone that cause the hair loss. Eventually they can create
them to become quite ill. And actually seventy five percent
of older female guinea pigs actually have this condition, so

(01:00:08):
it just happens. Most guinea pigs aren't spayed. So because
those ovaries are in there, they keep growing and with
time they become bigger and bigger. And actually this gal,
we just spaded her yesterday and removed her ovaries which
were the size of almost golf ball. Wow, so very
significant type of disease. That these guys get, but we

(01:00:29):
can't treat it. So it's one argument why you might
spay your guinea pick.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Yeah, better than treating it prevent it.

Speaker 13 (01:00:35):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (01:00:35):
Absolutely, and hopefully this gal does good. Some female picks
get really quite sick from it, so we're hoping she's
on the men soon.

I agree.

Speaker 26 (01:01:01):
I heard that the magazine Fido Friendly lists places where
you can stay with your pet. They also offer reviews,
so you have an idea about pet policy to include
any restrictions, fees, and what pediminities to expect.

Speaker 15 (01:01:12):
That's dare I say, awesome?

This is an Animal Radio news update.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
I'm Stacy Cohen for Animal Radio. Well, this is a
story that you know, it's kind of a parent's worst
nightmare that somebody would come in and take your kid
and then bite their finger off.

Speaker 8 (01:01:52):
Or you wouldn't think of that buddy in your finger
off part? Would you?

Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
Coming and taking your kid?

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Would be bad?

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
But what if it's a fox? It's happening in Life London.
A four week old baby in London, England, is recovering
in a hospital after a fox dragged him from his
cradle and then bit his finger off. The baby was
taken to a hospital after the attack, which left him
with a hand injury. Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reports the
child was asleep when his mother heard a scream, then

(01:02:17):
a heavy thud and the baby was dragged to the floor.
Reports say one of the boy's fingers was bitten off
and had to be reattached by surgeons. In response to
the startling attack, London's mayor said more must be done
to tackle the problem of urban foxes at night. Time,
it's not unusual to see the animals in the city
scavenging for food. Bunnies are a problem in Denver at

(01:02:39):
the airport. Bunnies are attacking cars at Denver International Airport.
Wildlife officials say the rabbits like to chew on the
insulator portion of ignition cables, and damaged can sometimes run
into thousands of dollars. New fencings being installed and wrapped
or perches will be built for hawks and eagles. Meanwhile,
local mechanics say coyote urn will RepA hell rabbits when

(01:03:00):
it's used as a coating on car wires. Say they
should have just used coyote urine on that baby. Maybe
that would help. I'm not making fun of it. More
Americans think of their pets as members of the family,
but that doesn't mean that the animals are getting better care.
Two thirds of dog owners surveyed for the American Veterinary
Medical Association's latest US Pet Ownership and Demographic source books

(01:03:25):
say they consider their pooch part of the family. That's
up about thirteen percent since the last poll. However, though
the number of those with dogs who haven't taken their
pupp to the vet even once that's risen by eight percent,
And while eighty one percent say they've made at least
one visit, that figures down two percent. Cats, they even
get less consideration and care. Fifty six percent of the

(01:03:49):
cat owners say their feed line is family, which is
a seven percent increase from two thousand and six, but
only fifty five percent of taken their cat to the
vet at least once, which is a of thirteen point
five percent. Well you know why cause it costs like
six thousand dollars every time you go. In addition, the
number of cat families that haven't ever visited a vet
is up twenty four percent. I really do think they

(01:04:12):
need to do some kind of insurance care healthcare for animals.
That's next. It is expensive to take your animals to
the vet. Every time I go with my dog, it's
at least one hundred and fifty bucks. But that's just me.

You're listening to animal Radio. Here's Alan Judy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Hey, listen on the phone.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
We have a Gail Pruitt and she's written the book,
Dog Gone Good Cookbook. Now, I've mentioned before that I
love to I think it's a bonding experience to eat
with my dog and give them treats from the table.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
Alan not so much. Ye, yeah, I know you don't
like that.

Speaker 16 (01:05:01):
You know I don't cook, so you know I'm out
of luck. I'll be eating kibble here if I have
to cook.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Well, she has put together a cookbook that includes food
for both you and your dog. Yeah, you've seen plenty
of cookbooks out there for just the dog, but this
is for you and your dog, so you can share
the same meal. We welcome over to the show, Gail.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
How you doing.

Speaker 11 (01:05:22):
I'm doing fine. How is everybody?

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
I mean, I'm catching a lot of slack here for
admitting that I feed my dog scraps from the table.
I like to bond with them, give them. I give
them good stuff. I give them good cuts. But apparently
it's not something that you want to do. But what
you're you're promoting is good meals that you both can eat, right.

Speaker 11 (01:05:43):
Well, that's true. However, half of the book is you know,
you can share with your dogs, and then the other
half is just playing good dog food so you can
do both.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
What scene. Would you suggest sharing with your dogs at
the table?

Speaker 8 (01:05:59):
No? No, see, oh see I like her now she's smart.
You're not smartsually not?

Speaker 11 (01:06:04):
But what here's here's the the deal. You know you
can Sometimes you just don't have time to have dog
food made up, or you haven't gone and bought any
So what would be good for you and your dog?
You could just and it's very These recipes are so
simple and really easy to do. You don't have to
feel guilty about giving them your food or actually you

(01:06:28):
eating their food. No, they need to eat at their
own place and you need to eat it yours. I
always feed mine before I eat.

Speaker 8 (01:06:35):
Oh really, yes, she's smart.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
How you're supposed to feed them?

Speaker 8 (01:06:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Isn't that an alpha thing? Alan?

Speaker 6 (01:06:44):
I do that?

Speaker 8 (01:06:45):
But you know what, you don't have to, like I said,
to each his own, whatever works for you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Okay, Well, I know lady bugs the alpha anyway, I've
admitted that so.

Speaker 11 (01:06:54):
Well, my dogs are pretty alpha as well. However, if
I feed them before we eat, then I put them
I'm on the sofa and they just stay there.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Well that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
Now these recipes are gluten free, free of corn, and
I know, Alan, you love that because you hate corn.

Speaker 8 (01:07:11):
Corn is bad, Yes, so do I.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
You think it's taught, you think it's the reason for cancer.

Speaker 8 (01:07:17):
I'm I'm not a scientist or anything that's obvious.

Speaker 15 (01:07:20):
What are some of the recipes? What are some of
the kind of things that we can eat with our dog?

Speaker 11 (01:07:25):
Well, I've got in the book. I've got a whole
list of all the kind of good vegetables that you
can have. There's I always have organic, at least organic.
You know, if it's locally grown, it's even better. But
you want as much nutrition as as possible. But you know,
there's all different kinds of things that you can have.

(01:07:46):
You can have acorn squash, butternut squash, spinach, even a
romaine lettuce. Now on those kinds of things though, I
like it raw, but I puade them because their little
digestive systems are really short, so you need to puree.
And also, when you want to start doing this, do
it like a little spoonful at a time. You don't

(01:08:07):
want to just say here, here's a great big bowl
of veggies.

Speaker 8 (01:08:11):
Unless you're looking for a reason for new carpeting.

Speaker 11 (01:08:13):
Anyway, you know that, as a matter of fact, I
had to pull up all my carpeting and put down
wood floors when I first got my little rescues because
they were on kibbles and I didn't know any better
at the time, and they were in pretty bad shape.
So I started on really good food, and I did

(01:08:34):
it too fast.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
I see some of the foods that we shouldn't be
feeding our animals or our dogs include avocados.

Speaker 11 (01:08:42):
That's correct.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
So why is that?

Speaker 11 (01:08:44):
Well, you know, everything I've read is that it is
just poisonous to them. Now, as far as I know,
I don't know exactly what it happens to them, but
you just don't want it builds up fluid, you know,
and their lungs. It's what I've read, But I don't know. Oh,
is doctor Debbie there?

Speaker 27 (01:09:02):
She is?

Speaker 16 (01:09:02):
Yeah, yeah, And actually the only species that is truly
toxic is birds as far as it is a high
fat type food, so it's not something we'd want to
use in high amounts. But birds are the one that
actually can have a very toxic exposure with that.

Speaker 8 (01:09:16):
What about top ramen? How's that.

Speaker 15 (01:09:19):
Keeps college students going?

Speaker 11 (01:09:21):
Man, I don't know about that. I really wouldn't eat it,
so I really wouldn't feed it to my dogs either.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
I don't think I agree with you on that.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
I see the spaghetti and meatballs, that's one of my
favorite meals. I love my spaghetti. Is this meatball made
with just ground hamburger meat?

Speaker 8 (01:09:36):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (01:09:37):
Well, actually it's not just plain hamburger meat. It's grass bad.
And it's ninety percent of fat. I mean, I'm sorry
that free.

Speaker 8 (01:09:46):
I love free.

Speaker 11 (01:09:47):
Yeah, fat free. So it's got a lot of other
good things in it too. I also use I do
use a gluten free bread that I really like that
this binding to it along with eggs, so it's really good.
I use also a brown rice pasta.

Speaker 8 (01:10:04):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:10:05):
And what I've.

Speaker 11 (01:10:06):
Found is if you cook your brown rice or your
pasta a little bit longer for them, it's much much better.
It's easier for them to digest it.

Speaker 5 (01:10:13):
What about turkey meatballs, it's turkey good.

Speaker 11 (01:10:16):
Turkey's good.

Speaker 8 (01:10:17):
Yeah, white meat, white meat.

Speaker 11 (01:10:20):
Yeah, well, well dark meat too. I don't understand why
they can't have dark meat. You just don't want to
make sure that they don't have a lot of grease
in there, a lot of oil and fat.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Well, you know what a lot of people do is
they give them the portions that they will not eat
themselves because it has too much fat, and that's the
worst thing you can do.

Speaker 11 (01:10:38):
Oh. Absolutely, I agree, one hundred percent. You just don't
want to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Here's where I'm scratching my head as potatoes, because I
actually I'll give Ladybugs some potatoes from my plate. I
understand that some of her food actually includes potatoes in it.
What is the lowdown on potatoes?

Speaker 11 (01:10:54):
Well, most potatoes. If you don't give them a lot
of potatoes, it's more it's fine, but if they have
some heart issues, you know, it could cause tremmors or
seizures or even heart palpitations, especially if it's got you know,
if it's turned green before you cook it. So and
a lot of people actually they've told me that they
even give their dogs raw potatoes. I wouldn't do that either.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
Wow, didn't you say it was the eyes sometimes of
the potatoes and the little things that grow on the
potatoes that are toxic exactly.

Speaker 16 (01:11:25):
Yeah, So it's if those little sprouts come up and grow,
those actually can be toxic, and they do have a
toxic component in So, yeah, you want to cut off
those green parts. And definitely I would, you know, I
like the standard that if you wouldn't eat it, you
shouldn't feed to your pets exactly.

Speaker 11 (01:11:40):
And you know, actually it's a form of natural pesticide.

Speaker 6 (01:11:45):
Oh wow, I did not know that.

Speaker 11 (01:11:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
Well, the book looks great.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
I mean it is not only just full of great recipes,
but it's a good looking book, just a fun book
that I have in the kitchen and every night I
pull out a different recipe from it. I'd like to
go ahead and give a eight ten copies right now,
nine copies of okay, if.

Speaker 27 (01:13:50):
A Utah couple is suing Sea World for turning their
home into an animal house. It all started when Gil
and laurln Workman leased their home to represent tentatives from SeaWorld.
They seek one hundred thousand dollars in damages, alleging that
the animal visitors, including penguins, a lemur, a mountain lion,
and a pair of pythons, were allowed to roam free

(01:14:12):
in their home, leaving what animals leave all over. They
also accuse the handlers of letting one of the pythons
hang out in the master bedrooms jetted dub to help
the snake shed his skin. Sounds like this mess is
gonna be a bigger mess in court. I'm Brit Savage

As long as you'm pulling me out anywhere else, I'll
be fine with that.

Speaker 8 (01:15:13):
Joey. I see people every day. I'm like, you know,
it's it's almost like you can't say anything or let
it affects you because most of the dog owners are lunatics.

Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:15:22):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:15:23):
I got to tell you the difference, and this is
a big difference. The difference is the West Coast, East Coast,
and I'm still I have that East Coast mentality, and
I don't realize it out here that it's completely different.

Speaker 6 (01:15:32):
In the East Coast.

Speaker 10 (01:15:34):
We very much say it how it is and whether
it take it, will leave it. You know, you can
stick it if you don't, if you don't like it.
And that's basically the mentality at least in the New
York New Jersey area.

Speaker 8 (01:15:44):
Don't be too hard on yourself. It took me ten
years to get rid of that.

Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
Well, that's right, you, that's right. You were from you.

Speaker 8 (01:15:50):
You were from Jersey, my whole, my whole family, Brooklyn.
I'm from Brooklyn, And let me tell you what I
couldn't you know, I'm used to saying whatever's on my mind,
and that does not work anywhere else but in New York.
You know, in New York, I mean, people are cussing
at each other and and you think they hate each other,
and then all of a sudden, somebody looks at their
watch and goes, hey, who's paying lunch? Who's buying lunch?
And they and it's like nothing ever happened. Yeah, people

(01:16:12):
don't understand that mentality is unique.

Speaker 10 (01:16:14):
But you ever noticed that the pets are follow that
rule of thumb. I mean, I noticed that, And I've
said this before on the show. When we had the
school in New Jersey, we had the school in Kentucky.
It was so unbelievable how the dogs in New Jersey
acted like the people in New Jersey and the dogs
in Kentucky acted like the people in Kentucky.

Speaker 6 (01:16:32):
And it was funny because you couldn't.

Speaker 10 (01:16:34):
We used to sometimes take some of the students and
put them in, you know, from New Jersey school to
Kentucky school, from the Kentucky school in New Jersey school
where we found it didn't work well bringing the people
from Kentucky into New Jersey.

Speaker 6 (01:16:45):
They could not handle the environment.

Speaker 8 (01:16:47):
So you're you're saying the dogs in Kentucky actually walked backwards.

Speaker 10 (01:16:52):
Yes, yes they You know what, I'm not gonna say
that people from Kentucky. Okay, how was the trainer having
capple not the groom up. Just want everyone to know
that the dogs were much quieter in their canals, where
the dogs in New Jersey were out of control, balking
and scream.

Speaker 8 (01:17:09):
I'll say this Kentucky is gorgeous, but I was in
Bowling Green and when I was there, there was a
there was like no freeway, and I was being taken
somewhere for an interview. It was rush hour. We went
through seventeen traffic lights and there was a traffic accident
at every single one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
The phones are lighting up.

Speaker 5 (01:17:29):
And it sounds like the Virginia we moved to Virginias.
My god, I've never seen so many accidents. Every couple
of blocks.

Speaker 3 (01:17:35):
Stop bashing the country. Here. We need all the lesters
we can get.

Speaker 8 (01:17:38):
There's only three colors. People, come on.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
I don't know if any of you have had a
chance to fly through di Ia or Denver International Airport.

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
It's a pretty major hub.

Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
I've been through there a few times.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
If you park your car there. Look out, there's big
trouble going on there. Apparently because it's located out in
the prairie, there's a lot of rabbits, and now people
are parking their cars, making their flights and coming back
and finding that their ignition cables and other cables in
their car have been chewed up.

Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
Oh no, And of course as soon as.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
You get the ticket when you go into for the parking,
there's a little disclaimer on the back of the ticket that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
Says they're not responsible for that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:16):
But several thousand cars have had their ignition cables and
other cables destroyed by the rabbits out there, And I
don't know what kind of what they're going to do
about that problem. Yes, what's your solution.

Speaker 10 (01:18:26):
We'll take the catch of New Zealand and we'll put
them in there.

Speaker 6 (01:18:30):
You go, you go, two problems.

Speaker 8 (01:18:34):
What happens if you take a rabbit and put it
in the middle of a pretty guppy on one side
and then an ugly guppy on the other.

Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
The wingman guppy. Yes, what will happen?

Speaker 6 (01:18:44):
A lot of multiplying.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Wait a minute, is the rabbit pretty or ugly?

Speaker 8 (01:18:48):
Who knows?

Speaker 6 (01:18:49):
I've never seen an ugly rabbit.

Speaker 8 (01:18:51):
Looks like a job for Elmer Fudd out there at
the airport. You've very quiet, very quiet, do you know?

Speaker 10 (01:18:57):
Do you realize how stressful that would be, especially if
you are on long flight okay, and then all of
a sudden you land and you're getting ready to come
back to your car and go home, and you can't
start it because a rabbit.

Speaker 6 (01:19:09):
Shoot the ignition cable. I mean, I don't, I'd be
out of my mind.

Speaker 8 (01:19:13):
Why why does the rabbit chew the cammy? Why do
they even do?

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
Good question, very good question. And I have the answer.
And I know this kind of let's ring the bells
and everything. Hell actually has an answer. Many of the
materials used for coding the ignition cables are soy based,
and the rabbits find that quite tasty.

Speaker 8 (01:19:30):
There you go, huh meat, There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
