| _______________ | 1 |  | Bobcat Fever | | Bobcat fever, or cytauxzoonosis, is a deadly tickborne disease that not only affects wild cats, but can threaten our housecats as well. As the tick responsible for transmitting bobcat fever has spread across the country in recent years, so has the disease. Fortunately, a recently developed method of treatment for bobcat fever has greatly increased survival rates for cats infected with the disease. In this podcast, Dr. Leah Cohn, professor of small animal internal medicine at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, discusses bobcat fever and the new treatment protocol, which she helped develop. | | Mon, 30 April 2012, 11:00 |
| _______________ | 2 | | Hairballs: The Podcast | | National Hairball Awareness Day is formally recognized on the last Friday of April. But for cat owners, hairball awareness can happen just about any day. In this podcast, Dr. Jane Brunt, executive director of the CATalyst Council and owner and director of the Cat Hospital at Towson in Baltimore, discusses hairballs, how to prevent them and when they can be a cause for concern. | | Mon, 23 April 2012, 11:00 |
| _______________ | 3 | | Rescuing Young Wildlife | | As people head outdoors to enjoy the warmer weather this time of year, many will come across young wildlife. Thinking that these adorable, seemingly helpless little creatures have been abandoned, some well-intentioned people will pluck these animals from forest floors and bring them home. Unfortunately this may actually create a problem where one did not exist. In this podcast, Dr. Peregrine Wolff, a veterinarian with the Nevada Department of Wildlife and secretary of the American Association of Wildlife Veterinarians, talks about what to do when encountering young wildlife. | | Mon, 9 April 2012, 11:00 |
| _______________ | 4 | | When the Bee Stings | | Anyone who has been stung by a bee or wasp knows how painful this experience can be. Stings can also be deadly if the victim is allergic, or in the rare case of multiple stings from an aggressive swarm. But what about our pets: What risks do bees and wasps pose to our dogs and cats? In this podcast Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, staff veterinarian at VCA Alameda East Veterinary Hospital in Denver, talks about the risks of bee and wasp stings for our pets, how to treat them, and how to avoid them. | | Mon, 26 March 2012, 11:00 |
| _______________ | 5 | | National Poison Prevention Week 2012 | | For 50 years, the third week in March has been designated as National Poison Prevention Week, established in 1962 to highlight the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. While this week has traditionally focused on the health and safety of people, it's a good reminder to keep our four-legged members of the household in mind as well. In this podcast, Dr. Justine Lee, a board-certified emergency critical care veterinary specialist and the associate director of veterinary services for Pet Poison Helpline, talks about items in and around the house that may be poisonous to our pets. | | Mon, 19 March 2012, 11:00 |
| _______________ | 6 | | Toxoplasmosis | | Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common parasitic diseases in cats, but if you or someone close to you has ever been pregnant, you probably know of the risks this parasite can pose to expecting mothers and their unborn children. There have even been reports that toxoplasmosis can cause changes in behavior or mental disorders in people. So just what is this disease, exactly, and what are the risks it poses to people and pets? In this podcast, Dr. Jane Brunt, executive director of the CATalyst Council, and owner and director of the Cat Hospital at Towson in Baltimore, discusses toxoplasmosis. | | Mon, 5 March 2012, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 7 | | Animal Hoarding | | In recent years, several television shows and news specials have documented the lives of Americans that have practically buried themselves in their own belongings. This behavior, known as hoarding, is often typified by compulsive accumulation and storage of books, clothes, or other nonessential items. For some of these individuals, hoarding goes beyond keepsakes and overflows into the realm of pets. With about 1,500 new cases like this arising each year, there's no arguing that animal hoarding is a growing problem. In this podcast, Dr. Gary Patronek, clinical assistant professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, discusses animal hoarding. | | Mon, 27 February 2012, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 8 | | National Pet Dental Health Month 2012 | | February 1 marks the beginning of National Pet Dental Health Month. More than just a cosmetic issue, bad breath and yellow teeth can be a sign of serious disease in our pets, which may affect their kidneys, livers, and hearts. Oral disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets, and 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats by age 3, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society. In this podcast, Dr. Linda DeBowes, veterinarian at Shoreline Veterinary Dental Clinic in Seattle, talks about the importance of dental health for our pets. | | Mon, 30 January 2012, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 9 | | Mange in Pets | | Most pet owners that have dealt with skin issues in their pets will agree that they are some of the most common (and also some of the most frustrating) problems an animal can have. In this podcast, Dr. Marcia Schwassmann, a board-certified veterinary dermatologist in Maitland, Fla., discusses mange in pets. | | Tue, 17 January 2012, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 10 | | Protecting Pets From Wildlife | | As pet owners, we do all we can to safeguard our pets from dangers in and around the house. We can do a lot to keep some risks—like medications, poisonous plants, and antifreeze—away from our pets, but some dangers—like wild animals—may be out of our control. In this podcast, Dr. Bernadine Cruz, associate veterinarian at Laguna Hills Animal Hospital in Laguna Woods, Calif., talks about what we can do to protect our pets from wildlife. | | Mon, 19 December 2011, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 11 | | A Veterinarian, and Now a Veteran | | When talking about veterinarians, we try to avoid the term "vets" to avoid any confusion with the term "veterans." Dr. Lisa Walker is a vet in both senses of the word. Dr. Walker is an emergency room veterinarian at Ann Arbor Animal Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich., and she recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan, where she served as a veterinarian through the U.S. Army Reserves. In this podcast, Dr. Walker discusses her role overseas, and the larger role veterinarians play in the U.S. military. | | Mon, 12 December 2011, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 12 | | Diabetes in Pets | | Diabetes affects one in every 200 cats, and one in every 400-500 dogs. While there are serious symptoms and consequences to this disease, proper diabetes management can keep our diabetic pets in good health. In this podcast, Dr. Sandy Willis, a small animal internal medicine specialist at Phoenix Central Laboratory in Everett, Wash., discusses diabetes in pets. | | Mon, 28 November 2011, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 13 | | Adopt a Senior Pet Month | | Puppies and kittens are adorable. This certainly isn't breaking news. And it's no surprise that many people, when considering bringing a pet into their homes, primarily look into adopting a puppy or a kitten. In the meantime, however, they may be overlooking older dogs and cats that might be a more suitable fit for their homes and lifestyles. To help get these older animals out of shelters and into homes, November has been designated as Adopt a Senior Pet Month. Dr. René Carlson, president of the AVMA, explains why older dogs and cats make such great pets. | | Mon, 14 November 2011, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 14 | | Lost and Found | | Although it may be difficult to estimate the number of stray dogs and cats living in the United States, it is a significant enough number that people encounter them on a regular basis. A common question that arises in this situation is, "what should I do?" In this podcast, Dr. Bernadine Cruz, associate veterinarian at Laguna Hills Animal Hospital in Laguna Woods, Calif., discusses what you should do when coming across a stray dog or cat. | | Mon, 7 November 2011, 10:00 |
| _______________ | 15 | | Why Dogs Scoot | | You've probably seen dogs scoot before ... pulling themselves forward on their front legs and allowing their rear end to drag against the floor. But what does this behavior mean, exactly? Are they just creatively scratching a hard-to-reach itch, or could this behavior indicate the need for medical attention? In this podcast, Dr. Ernie Ward, founder and chief-of-staff of Seaside Animal Care in Calabash, N.C., and a featured veterinarian on the Rachael Ray Show, discusses scooting in dogs. | | Mon, 31 October 2011, 11:00 | |
