Weekly News

Greetings!

One of the nice parts of working online is being able to travel and work from the road. This past week I've been on the road in North Carolina, my first visit to this incredibly green and beautiful state. I still marvel at how the internet has changed the way we get our information, our daily work, and even how we can live. It continues to impact veterinary medicine in many ways and I know the role it plays will continue to grow as even those who resisted going online are now reluctantly giving in and are beginning to enjoy the freedoms that the internet can bring.

Have a great week and you'll hear from us again next week

Sincerely,
Adam

PET PROS HELP OUR PET OWNERS

This week's answers from our Pros

Pet Pros from across the US offer help for pet owners:

  • Puppy with Parvo after 3 shots. Why?:A friend of mine has a puppy & after getting it's third Parvo vaccine the Puppy ended up with Parvo. The puppy lived but it was just awful & the expense was tremendous so I just wanted to see if there was any recalls or issues with Parvo vaccines.

    Thank you for getting back to me. 3 Pros responded to this pet owner's question

  • American Eskimo with seizures:``My American Eskimo started experiencing seizures approx one month ago. They come in clusters approx 30 sec in duration. Looking for natural remedies. Started with phenobarbital two weeks ago. Appreciate any advice you can offer. We do not want to see our pet suffer and want to explore everything before considering the alternative.

    Thank You

  • Dog with liver problems. Vet stumped: Hi--my dog has elevated liver levels and is acting very tired, lethargic and not herself. So far, vets have been unable to pinpoint the problem. I would like help in a naturopathic treatment plan to bolster her liver.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK

Water buffalo and the lions

Last week I saw a National Geographic advertisement for an upcoming special on the real story behind this video. I wasn't familiar with the video and so I sought it out and thought I'd share it with you. It is a bit over 8 minutes long, and it is worthy of the entire special being devoted to it.
