It is not uncommon for cat owners to me for what they believe is a bladder infection. The cat is either flooding out the litter box or urinating all over the house. All they want is a prescription for some antibiotics. It is also not uncommon that they get a bit miffed when I explain that I need to have them bring their kitty in for an examination. I listen, I look, I feel their cats all over. I explain that I need to run some blood and urine tests to rule in or out other possible causes of what they are seeing. The answer is sometimes diabetes mellitus.
My guest today is Dr. Richard Edling. He is a professional services veterinarian for Boehringer Ingelheim pharmaceutical company. We will be chatting about what is diabetes mellitus. Why cats seem to be falling victim to this disease in greater numbers. How it is treated and what can you do to decrease the chances that your cat will become a diabetes statistic.

Boy meets girl. Boy and girl get married. They have their first-born child-- and these days that is often a cat or a dog. Pet is the apple of their eyes. Girl gets pregnant and the first born, possibly highly indulged pet is expected to abdicate its place on the bed and owners’ heart to a squirmy, smelly, crying creature. The transition can be rocky. The American Humane association wants to maintain peace and harmony and insure that the pet isn’t relinquished to a shelter because these two members of the family just aren’t getting along. My guest is Ms. Jane Greco Deming. She is the director of education for the human-animal interaction program of the American Humane association. She will give us some pointers on how to make the pet meeting baby experience a howling success.

Bring a puppy home and the first thing you hear is a lot of barking and not necessarily from the dog. The new puppy parent starts to bark orders, come, sit, stay, and the ever popular -- NO! We sound like drill sergeants. This is the way that it has always been done, but is this the best way to get through to a very impressible youngster? How do we get a pup to learn its role in our pack and have good social manners? My guest is Sarah Wilson. She is co-author with Brian Kilcommons of the book ‘My Smart Puppy -- the fun, effective and easy puppy training’.

Fads and craziness often starts in California and works their way East. Some of the fads are great - think hula hoops, Barbies and the green energy movement. Some however, can have potential dire unexpected side effects such as the movement by local municipalities to regulate the relationship of a veterinarian and pet owner. Several California cities have made it illegal for a veterinarian to declaw a domestic cat. My guests today, the executive director of the Southern California Veterinary Association, Dr. Peter Weinstein and veterinary behaviorist, Dr. Rolan Tripp will discuss the legal, ethical and behavioral aspects of this emotionally charged topic.

There are times in our lives when we need someone to care, someone to just be there. One of these critical periods is at the end of our lives, when we are in hospice. But what if we were told that one who held a very important part in our lives was prohibited from being with us? Someone that didn’t care what we looked like. Didn’t mind if it was a good day or bad, or even remember their name. What if someone told you that you couldn’t have your beloved pet with you when you near your time of passing?
Pet Peace of Mind is a non-profit hospice support group, part of the Banfield Charitable Trust. Dianne McGill, the executive director and CEO of the trust, will tell more about this very special example of the human/animal bond.
