Stomatitis can be such a painful and debilitating condition in cats.

There is no real effective medical treatment and although it sounds barbaric, removing all their teeth provides immediate and long term relief.

This little kitten was eating quite happily only a few hours after recovering from her surgery and purring like a trooper!

You might think this crime is ridiculous (and it is) but the legislation is clear - the depiction here is illegal and while unlikely, your vet could be prosecuted for recommending this treatment option.
And who does this law really benefit? I'll give you a clue - it's not the pet, the owner, or the vet...check the comments for a link to learn more.

3️⃣ Amazingly, after four years, the dog was still cancer-free.

4️⃣ No supplements, alternative treatments, or long-term medications were used—they wouldn’t have impacted the outcome but could have changed to narrative given...

In the video I discuss the pharmaceutical industry's exploitation of pet owners and veterinarians through inflated prices for pet-specific medications, despite cheaper human drug alternatives being available.

I outline the strict prescribing rules vets must follow, known as the "prescribing cascade," which makes it illegal for them to use human equivalents even if they are more cost-effective.

This video also provides five practical steps pet owners can take to reduce their pet's medication costs without compromising the vets' legal and professional responsibilities.

😱 Did you know that 1 in 4 entire female dogs will develop a pyometra by the age of 10? This is a life-threatening infection of the uterus that often requires emergency surgery!

🐕‍🦺 Here are some key points from our discussion on when to spay your dog:

1️⃣ Spaying can prevent serious conditions like pyometra and mammary cancer, and on average spayed dogs live longer than their entire counterparts

2️⃣ Spaying does have some risks, and if carried out at the wrong time it can increase the risk of cruciate ligament injury and certain cancers in specific dog breeds.

3️⃣ The recommended timing of spaying varies hugely and is based on adult body weight and breed

💡 The overall takeaway is that while spaying offers numerous health benefits, the ideal timing should be carefully considered based on your dog's specific breed, size, and health needs. It's crucial to discuss this with your vet to tailor the decision to your furry friend's situation.

🤔 How do you feel about the timing of spaying or neutering your pets? Do you think more personalized guidance is needed in making these decisions?

🚨 Did you know that a lot of our pets are facing an avoidable increase in their risk of complications from surgery and anesthesia because 60% of dogs are classified as overweight or obese? 🚨

In this video I share 5 crucial steps to ensure the safety of your furry friend during surgical procedures and anesthesia. From optimizing your dog's health before the procedure to understanding the importance of pre-surgery medications and day-of-surgery precautions, these steps are essential for protecting your pet's well-being.

Something as straight-forward as implementing day-of-surgery precautions such as fluid therapy, pre-anesthetic blood tests, and proper fasting guidelines can play a crucial role in ensuring your dog's safety.

While we can never make surgery a zero risk event, why wouldn't we all take the action needed to get as close as possible? 🐾

🐾 Did you know that the risk of a dog dying under anesthesia can vary significantly based on their health and the type of surgery they undergo? In a UK study of 150,000 dogs, there were 14 deaths per 10,000 procedures, with 10 of those deaths occurring within 48 hours of the procedure. This underscores the importance of understanding the real risks our furry friends face when they undergo surgery.

🐶 Neutering surgeries in dogs, such as spaying and castration, carry a much smaller risk of death, with only 1 death per 10,000 procedures. However, the difficulty of the surgery can impact this risk, and the overall health of the dog is a crucial factor. When assessing a dog's health for surgery, the ASA score is used, with higher scores indicating a higher risk of death.

🎓 One key takeaway is the importance of understanding the specific risks your dog faces if they require anesthesia and surgery. Considering your dog's health, the type of surgery, and the urgency of the procedure, can help in making more informed decisions about their care.
