There is a very unique and specialized team of veterinary medical professionals who are advancing the knowledge and treatment options that are saving the lives of pets and hopefully in the future, the people who care for them.

You’ve heard these warnings before-- don' t swim for at least one hour after eating or you will cramp up and could drown. Don’ t cross your eyes or they will get stuck that way. To prevent your dog from developing the potentially life threatening condition, bloat and torsion-- don’t feed dog food that contains grain , feed it from an elevated dish and keep it quiet for an hour after eating? Well I haven’t drowned yet and my eyesight is OK.

There are mornings when I get out of bed that I know I have fallen through a time warp and aged 20 years overnight. My back is killing me. Back aches are a common complaint of people. Just listen to all the advertisements on the radio. Human are not the only species that suffer from this malady. Our cats and dogs are also plagued by slipped discs, pinched nerves and more. So what are the causes and what can we as caregivers do to prevent these painful and often crippling conditions?
My guest today is Dr. Wayne Berry, a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine -- Neurology.

Winter, what a fabulous time of year. Perfect for grabbing a cup of hot chocolate, donning your ‘Snuggie’, delving into a good book with your pet curled up at your feet. And then when you most need it, along comes Spring and you are drawn outside into the warmth of the sun. But huh, your pet’s collar doesn’t fit anymore. It must have shrunk. And last year’s outdoor wear is a bit too tight on you. It must be a conspiracy. No, you know what happened. You and your pet are certifiably pudgy. No exercise and snacks in front of the TV have taken their toll.
Winter holds many threats to our pet’s health, not just the packing on of pounds. My guest today is veterinarian, Dr. Jerry Vanek. He is an expert in keeping some of winter’s premier athletes, competitive sled dogs, in top form. We will chat about these canine champions and weekend warriors. Dr. Vanek will also talk about winter safety issues around the house.

In the overall scheme of veterinary medicine, dogs have been treated like little people. Health issues that affected people in a certain way were thought to act similarly in dogs. Cats were often treated like little dogs. With the advances in feline medicine has proven that cats are very unique creatures, medically and behaviorally.

One of my favorite experiences in the whole world is being slathered with sour milk kisses from a 6 week old puppy or kitten. What could be more innocent? The majority of the time, this is a perfectly harmless act, but there are instances that it can lead to some serious health concerns.

Your veterinarian’s education doesn’t stop when he or she graduates from veterinary school. When I graduated from U.C. Davis School of Veterinary medicine, we were told that 50% of what we had learned was going to be outdated and wrong in 10 years. Our task was to determine which 50%.
A marvelous way for veterinarians to stay current is with state conventions. Some of the brightest researchers, clinicians, and professionals update veterinarians on latest discoveries and trends. The exhibit halls are another fabulous avenue of learning what products can help our clients and patients experience a better health span.
This podcast comes to you from the California Veterinary Medical Association annual PacVet Conference, held in San Francisco, California. You will learn what is new in dental care, pet insurance, allergies, fleas and lasers.

Probably the only time you think of rabies is when you need to get your dog licensed. Some might think that getting a dog vaccinated for this antiquated disease is just a ploy of local government to get more money out of pet owners. And why don’t cats need to be vaccinated? Besides-- rabies is an eradicated disease. Isn’t it?
My guest today is Peter Costa. He serves as the director of Global Communications Coordinator for the Global Alliance for Rabies Control and campaign coordinator for World Rabies Day, celebrated on September 28th.
