I’ve heard stories of vicious mosquitoes forcing people to shelter in their homes during the summer or needing to slather themselves with lotions, potions and insecticides if they dared to venture outside. It wasn’t until I visited Minnesota one July that I was misfortunate enough to experience a dreaded bloodletting mosquito attack. It gave me a much better appreciation for the discomfort our dogs experience when being bitten by mosquitoes, ticks and fleas.
Today’s guest is Dr. Ed Koronowski, a Technical Veterinary Service Manager for Ceva Animal Health. We are going to chat about ‘Taking the Bite Out of What is Bugging Your Pet’.

The Pet Doctor - Episode 272 Feeding the Itchy Pet

Got a pet that itches, bites, scratches, chews, licks or just putz with itself all the time? You swear that it doesn’t have fleas. You have tried lotions, potions, and shampoos. Your veterinarian just gives you pills and pokes your pet with injections of who knows what and the skin issues persist. The answer must be in the diet. At least that is what all the pet parents at the dog park and pet store sales folks are telling you. So does your pet have a food allergy? Is grain and gluten free the answer? Or should you feed organic, holistic, or maybe raw?
My guest is Dr. Alice Jeromin, a pharmacist, a board certified veterinary dermatologist, adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University College of Medicine, international lecturer and author.

The Pet Doctor - Episode 274 Neurology Facts and Fiction

The inner workings of our pets’ bodies, like its nervous system, can appear perplexing and frightening when it doesn’t work properly. I like to demystify the body by thinking of it as a collection of commonplace items. The nervous system is like the body’s internal computer...a combination of chemical and communication systems. Information about what is happening inside and outside of the body is detected, the information is transmitted to the main processor-the brain- via phone and electric lines, our nerves. Our ability to survive and thrive depends on these messages being sent in a well-ordered and consistent pattern. These processes can be disrupted by breaks in the lines – injuries, hacked by diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, abnormal chemical reactions or tumors. It is possible that the wiring may never have been properly configured in the first place...congenital or inherited defects.
My guest is an expert in unraveling diseases affecting a pet’s neurological system...repairing the damage when possible or controlling the signs when it is not. Dr. Ali Gorgi is a board-certified veterinary neurologist and neurosurgeon who owns Bright Care Veterinary Hospital in Orange County California.
