In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, Dr. Isabella Stepanovic, a veterinarian friend of Dr. Josie joins the podcast with her Goldendoodle named Monkey. Dr. Isabella takes over this week’s Case of the Week segment, summarizing many crazy things she has seen in practice at her ER Vet clinic, including a dog with severe burns that had fallen out of the bed of its owner’s truck and had unfortunately been dragged behind the vehicle. Dr. Josie & Dr. Isabella take listener calls and give their feedback on how often to bathe your pets and explain reverse sneezing and whether it is cause for concern. They discuss in depth which vaccines your pet should definitely receive (like rabies, distemper/parvo) and which vaccines are more circumstantial. Dr. Isabella shares a story of a dog that came into her office having seizures, which is normal for her to see, but the dog didn’t respond to meds and passed away. It turned out that the dog was infected with rabies and everyone that had been in contact with the animal had to go through intense rabies treatment. They discuss zoonotic illnesses - meaning diseases that animals can pass to humans, like rabies, if they are not properly vaccinated. Dr. Josie & Dr. Isabella touch on the importance of flea, tick and heart worm treatment and dispute the myth that garlic is a home remedy for tick prevention. They wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including declawing cats. She and Dr. Isabella talk through how intense that procedure is and the complications that can come from it.
