Lyme disease...most people know that it is a disease caused by ticks. You may know that people get a bull’s eyes lesion at the site of the bite. To be a risk you have to live on the East coast of the U.S. and you have to go trekking through the woods in order to be exposed...well 2 out of 3 isn’t bad but it could be an extremely serious short fall in your understanding of this spreading disease.
To clear up some misconceptions and enlighten us on new research is Dr. Craig Prior, the immediate past-president of the Companion Animal Parasite Council...an organization whose information I use on an almost daily basis in my practice.

The Pet Doctor - Episode 280 Chronic Kidney Disease

It didn’t seem significant at the time. You thought it was kinda cute. Your cats would perch on the toilet to get a drink of water. You thought your dog was just being a pain and playing you for a chump by getting you up in the middle of the night to be let out...really, you just wanted to prowl the yard to torment the cat next door? But then your pet just wasn’t looking good. It started to lose weight and condition...maybe some vomiting or diarrhea. But the diagnosis came back kidney failure...what caused it? Was it the food? Can you cure it? How can you prevent it in your other pet?
Dr. Brian McLaughlin is a Senior Technical Services Veterinarian for Vetoquinol USA. We are going to discuss the insidious disease of kidney disease and how it can affect your dog or cat.

The Pet Doctor - Episode 282 The Circle of Life

The Lion King said it best...'it's the circle of life and it moves us all'. We are all interconnected. What happens to a population of bats in Asia can affect the health of people in the Mid West. Medical research that focuses on keeping bees buzzing can insure that you and I can continue to enjoy a handful of nutritious almonds along with our morning glass of orange juice. The death of deer in Maine can be the harbinger of a rise in tick borne diseases in the fluffy toy poodles the suburbs of Tennessee and their owners. With the continuum of health between people, animals and our planet, it would seem as though research dollars would be flowing to organizations and agencies who are investigating zoonotic diseases...those conditions that affect people and animals. You would think so but the sad reality is that the dollars are few and far between.
