Bark N Wag 15 Minute Vet Talk

PugHearts of Houston is a non-profit rescue dedicated to giving unwanted and neglected Pugs a second chance. It is staffed by a network of volunteers in and around the greater Houston, TX area. Some of these volunteers donate their time; they pick up dogs, drive them to vet appointments, process adoption applications and help us out at events we attend throughout the year. Some volunteers open their hearts and homes to our Rescues and provide safe, loving foster homes for these dogs. None of our dogs stay in a shelter or kennel. All of our dogs are in private foster homes throughout the area. They learn to live (some of them for the first time) in a home with foster siblings and parents who teach them how to be part of a loving family. These fosters will try to get them ready for the next phase of their lives – when they get to join their new forever home! Interesting in Adopting? Here's what you should do... Read the FAQ below.

Please keep you dog healthy and go to the vet! Also, if you are rescuing a dog.  By T. J. Dunn, Jr., DVM It is always nice to know what to expect when you visit the veterinarian. Why? Because nobody likes surprises. So what what is going through the doctor's mind when your dog (or cat) is presented.   Let's just say you came in for your pet's routine yearly vaccination. Usually this is a good time for the doctor to take a really close look at your pet -- a good time to do an annual physical exam. Written notes on the patient's medical chart are absolutely necessary in order to maintain a good medical history.  So when the doctor isn't probing and pulling, there will be some written data being recorded. Later this information is transferred to a computerized program that sorts and organizes yearly reminders, prescription data, important patient events or surgeries and billing data.   Computers are an excellent way for the veterinarian to access current information on new techniques, medications and procedures.

Canine Cancer Academy is a wonderful platform for pet owners.  Dr. Lori Cesario is a Board-Certified Veterinary Oncologist currently practicing in Southern California.  She is originally from Long Island, New York but is happy to now call California home. She received a Bachelor of Science in Animal Bioscience from Penn State University.  After college, Dr. Cesario worked in a lab at Cornell University developing mouse models of human prostate and mammary cancers, amongst others.  She then attended Ross University Veterinary School, with a clinical year at the University of Wisconsin.  She completed two one-year internships: a small animal rotating internship at the University of Illinois, followed by an oncology specialty internship at NC State.  She then returned to the Midwest for an oncology residency at Michigan State University.  Dr. Cesario is committed to maintaining a high quality of life in patients that are feeling well and improving the lives of patients that are feeling poorly.  She uses her expe

  Carprofen is a medication commonly prescribed to canines with osteoarthritis; it works well for pain management and is very palatable making it a medicine well suited for canine ailments. The positive results seen by pet owners who give this medicine to their dogs regularly is well documented. The anti-inflammatory properties of this drug are also known to be beneficial. Many canines are prescribed carprofen long-term, though patients on this medication must be followed by the veterinarian to monitor the effects of the drug. Carprofen has caused toxicity in dogs who have been on the medication long-term; however, cases of poisoning are most commonly seen with an accidental overdose of the medication. Our canine companions enjoy the flavor of this medication and will help themselves to it if available. Symptoms will vary depending on the amount consumed and can range from vomiting to abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal perforation in very severe cases. Carprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug us

Cindy Myers Ambassador to Animals, Humans and Spirit I’ve always been a good listener. However, twenty years ago, I would have found it hilarious if you told me that I’d be working as an intuitive energy healer while living on an alpaca farm! But, here I am with a herd of 24 alpacas, 3 dogs and 3 cats working as a Medical Intuitive! I believe that the sum of our life experiences can lead us to our true calling in life. There are many paths to finding our way to our authentic selves. It took many years, multiple and diverse career paths, and tough life challenges to finding my true calling. The life lessons were invaluable that led me to this meaningful life. I learned about frequencies and Radars while working as an Engineer for the Navy and now I am a Radar! I learned all about stress and how harmful it is to our body, mind and spirit while being my mom’s caregiver through her final years. And there was an amazing gift I created out of the house fire I experienced due to an arsonist. Losing my belongings led

Cristi Eckert, owner of Natural Pet Wellness, would love to talk to you about Essential Oils and Reiki. About Natural Pet Wellness Animals have been part of my entire life. As a kid, I would sneak in the neighborhood cat in through my window, pet any dog I came across, and walk dogs for neighbors. Not much has changed as an adult! I still pet every dog I see, all my animals live in the house and I talk to strangers about my love of all animals. As I got older, I worked at shelters, vet clinics and went to school specifically to learn more about animals. I worked with many animal organizations, pet sit for friends and family and even took in a pack of alpacas. Despite working in retail and marketing, I kept finding my way back to working with animals.  What started as a "hobby" to learn about holistic ways to help my own pets has become a career to help other people and their pets live their fullest life. I trained in essential oil therapy through Young Living Animal Oil classes, I trained in energy work th

Safety during July 4 celebrations: Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there’s great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away. Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during parties and fireworks. Keep horses and livestock in safely fenced areas and as far from the excitement and noise as possible. If you’re hosting guests, ask them to help keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don’t escape. Placing notes on exit doors and gates can help both you and your guests remain vigilant. Keep your pets inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks. Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal and kabob skewers away from curious pets. Don’t let pets get near your barbecue grill while it is in use or still hot. Avoid the urge to feed your pets table scraps or other foods intended for people. Be especially careful to keep t

Meet Alisa. I’m constantly planning my next adventure. A few years ago, after visiting a friend in the U.S. Virgin Islands, I got bit with the travel bug. It was shortly after getting back home to NY, that I’d convinced my hubby to sell all our stuff, quit our corporate jobs and move to St. John, USVI. Friends and family thought we were crazy. Maybe we were. But, it’s the best kind of crazy there is. Crazy FREE! We explored island life for a year, then we went on to travel around Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and ultimately came to live in Breckenridge for a ski season.   That one season, turned into two, and here we are five years later. Breck is now our home. The crisp air, the beautiful scenery, the amazing people, all of it makes my heart smile from the inside out.  I feel so blessed to be where I am today. That one decision to leave the safety and security of our life in NY, and chase this big dream of travel, led me to discover my passion for photography and capturing the true essence of lo

Bark & Wag is in the CBD business. It is very important to work with a herbalist grower to make the sure the product does not have pesticides. For more questions please contact Sarah at sjmarr707@gmail.com.  Here is an article about Herb Farms.  Many people are drawn to herbalism, not only because plants are natural or contain healing qualities, but also because being an herbalist can bring you closer to the Earth.  It’s not unusual to see herbalists with dirt under their fingernails who never leave home without their botanical ID books or a trusted wildcrafting tool.  We like to plunge our hands into the dirt, spend time with the plants in their native habitats, or simply with herbs growing freely in a garden.  (Read Sue Kusch's articles on the benefits of working with soil here). While many herbalists love to gather their own herbs, it’s not always possible to do so. Some herbalists may choose to spend their time consulting with clients, making herbal products or teaching classes.  When you aren’t able

You are listening to Bark & Wag 15 Minute Vet Talk and I am your host Polly ReQua Today we are talking with Dr. Susan McMillan, owner of Vet to Pet Mobile Veterinary Service in Burlington, Vermont to learn more about heartworm. What is it, how do dogs get it and what can we do to prevent heartworm positive test results. Welcome Susan…. HEARTWORMS Heartworms are common in dogs throughout the United States (cats can have them, too). They are among the most damaging parasites in dogs but they are almost100 percent preventable. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and, once mature, they live in the heart and large blood vessels of the lungs. Adult heartworms can measure over one foot in length. How will heartworms affect my dog? The heartworm larvae deposited by the feeding mosquito eventually migrate to the chambers of the heart or into the vessels of the lungs. Once Heart opened to reveal heart wormsin the heart, the worms can affect blood flow throughout the body. Heartworm infection can affect many di
