03/19/24 • 38 min

Taking care of a pet with a long-term illness can often add another level of stress and commitment to being a pet parent. In this episode, I interview fellow pet podcaster Julie Marty Pearson to explore caring for special-needs pets. Discover the challenges and triumphs faced by pet parents like Julie when our furry friends receive unexpected medical diagnoses.
Key Takeaways:

Learn about the silent struggles and victories of caring for pets with special needs.
Explore the sweetness and challenges of managing a diabetic feline, Charlie.
Gain insights into recognizing cues indicating potential health issues in pets.
Hear the tough decisions pet owners may face, from veterinary expenses to re-homing considerations.
Understand why surrendering a pet with special needs to a shelter or rescue strains on shelters ill-equipped to care for animals with medical conditions and rescues that are already overwhelmed.

This candid exploration is balanced by the resilience and love that define our bonds with these special animals. Join us and discover the joy of adopting, fostering, and loving a pet with special needs.
