WHO WILL OWN YOUR VETERINARIAN WHEN YOUR DOG NEEDS HELP?
You can recognize the veterinarian, know the receptionist, and have taken your dogs to the same building for twenty years, yet have no idea who now owns the practice or who has the final authority over its business decisions. The name on the sign may tell you very little. That is a question I think…

🐾 WHAT IF WE KEEP TREATING THE DOG… WHILE MISSING SOMETHING IN THE LIFE THE DOG IS LIVING? 💚
A dog improves with treatment, everybody finally breathes again, and then the vomiting returns, the appetite becomes unpredictable, or the cough never quite disappears. Another temporary improvement leaves a frustrated family wondering what they are missing, while the people caring for that animal try to understand why the progress did not last. At AHVMA, a…

🐾 SHE WAS STILL NURSING HER PUPPIES WHILE HER OWN BODY WAS STRUGGLING. 💚 Nessa had severe anemia, repeated nosebleeds, and positive tests for Lyme and anaplasmosis. Yet she kept mothering her puppies. As a breeder, that story got me. Then came Calle, whose owner struggled to believe her abnormal bloodwork because she seemed perfectly…

🐾💚 HOME AGAIN, WITH A TIRED BODY AND A WHOLE LOT TO THINK ABOUT.
I am home from AHVMA, and I would like to tell you that I came through the door, unpacked everything, organized my notes, and got right back into the swing of things, but let’s not get carried away. I am tired. My brain is still somewhere between a lecture on cancer metabolism and a slide…

🐾 THE DOG IS MORE THAN THE DIAGNOSIS 💚
✈️ I am writing this on the airplane home from AHVMA, with a notebook that needs its own notebook, a phone that is threatening to become a veterinary textbook, and dogs at home who are probably wondering why I had to fly across the country to learn how to take better care of creatures who…

🐾 DAY THREE AT AHVMA CONTINUES: DR. CLÁUDIA COSTA BROUGHT THE MISTLETOE AND PLENTY TO THINK ABOUT. 💚Dr. Cláudia Costa, DVM, MSc, is quite the international veterinary superstar, and after listening to her again this year, I have plenty to say about why. She has been working with mistletoe and integrative oncology since 2008, brings years of clinical experience to her teaching, and has a way of making you reconsider something you thought you already understood. And apparently, on top of all that, the woman can dance too. Some people really do get more than their fair share of talents. 😂💚
I heard her speak at last year’s AHVMA, and I have been using mistletoe with my own dogs for a couple of years now, so this wasn’t an introduction for me. I went back because experience gives me MORE questions, and I wanted to understand the preparations better, hear how she makes decisions for different…

DAY THREE AT AHVMA: THE DOGS STILL NEED DINNER, EVEN WHEN YOUR HEART IS BROKEN
Some years I have newborn puppies on the ground while I am saying goodbye to an old dog, and let me tell you, there is no nice, organized way to do that. There is no announcement that says, “Everybody settle down, Timea needs a few days to get her heart back together.” The puppies are…

🧬🐾 THE HORMONES WE REMOVE, THE WHOLE DOG WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ❤️
Day two at the AHVMA conference, and I spent a good part of today taking notes and wondering how we can talk so much about keeping dogs healthy while giving so little attention to what happens when we permanently change their hormonal system. There were wonderful veterinary speakers today, and I have plenty I want…
