He lives 51 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: in Nashville, though he's into the music.

I think it's gross. Yeah, it is gross, 69 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 2: And how do they do it? 70 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: Also, I don't I guess maybe they're eating their like siblings. 71 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm like, how do they lick them off their 72 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: own eyes? 73 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 4: Yeah? 74 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: I mean Also, I know some owners pick their dogs 75 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: eyebookers and feed them to them. I know that because 76 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: people have told me, and I may have done it 77 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: once or twice of my dog. 78 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: I don't have Goosebumps's not good ones. 79 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: There is no They don't teach you this in bet 80 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: school guys, so I have no medical background or scientific 81 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: research on this. My thought would be that maybe they're 82 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: like kind of salty and they like the salty taste 83 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: of them. 84 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say they're probably salty. You know 85 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: your eye, your tears are a little salty, so it's 86 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: probably yeah. I mean. Also, I think it's sweet. Like 87 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: our dogs used to do that, they'd clean each other's 88 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: for them, Yes, and you know what, I'd rather them 89 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: do it than me have to do it exactly, So, 90 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, you want to eat each other's eyeboogers?

They can have urinary tract infections, 167 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: it can be a behavioral thing, it can be kidney disease. 168 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: This one specifically makes me think of them potentially having incontinence. 169 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: So as dogs get a little. 170 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: Bit older, they can develop incontinence where typically they're laying down, 171 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: they're in their bed, or they're like laying on in 172 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: their usual spot, and they get up and there's like 173 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 3: a little puddle of urine and they don't know, like 174 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: they have no idea that they're going to the bathroom. 175 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: And so just with him being a little bit older 176 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: and going in his bed, that's really one of the 177 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: first things that comes to mind. But I do recommend, like, 178 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: of course, we want to rule out a urinary tract infection, 179 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: make sure his kidneys are normal. If all of that 180 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: comes back normal, he probably has incontinents and we can 181 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: get them on medication and they do great. 182 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, my older dog, God rests Phoebe. She when she 183 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: hit like twelve. It wasn't all the time. It got 184 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: worse as she got older, but she would get in 185 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: these deep sleeps in the day and I'd walk home 186 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: and be like, oh, man, so I just got a 187 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: waterproof pad that like went under so that I wasn't 188 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: constantly washing the dogbed. Yeah, and you know what, like 189 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: when she was a puppy, if she had been doing that, 190 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: I would be like, Okay, we're potty training. But when 191 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: they get older, it's just like they can't help it. 192 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: And she didn't have a uti, it was just ye control. Yes, honestly, 193 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: we can see it in our younger dogs too. Really, 194 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: it's spade females. We've come to find that that estrogen 195 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: or lack thereof because their spade makes them prone to incontinence. 196 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: So typically, like are a lot of times it can 197 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: be like a four or five year old female that's 198 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: been spaded, And definitely talk to you about it because 199 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: there's some great medications out there that can get it 200 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: completely under control. So and if it's a female that's 201 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: had puppies, I don't know if it's similar to women 202 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: that I've had children, but just leave her alone, Okay, Yeah, 203 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's any similarly by sneezes. Yeah, 204 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: we're jumping around. Just let her go.

And 490 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 3: so that's how we have her on these steroid and 491 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 3: amino suppressive medications because essentially their GI tract is just 492 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 3: so inflamed and almost like it's attacking itself that those 493 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: medications say, hey, calm down and keep that inflammation at bay. 494 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 3: One thing that I know we have talked about is 495 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 3: being a vet. I see so much GI upset every 496 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 3: single day. I see dogs of vomiting and diarrhea, and 497 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 3: owners want answers right away. 498 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: They are just like, why is this happening? And we 499 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 2: will run tests. 500 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: And a really hard thing for me is I'll run 501 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: tests and I'll come in and I'll say, I still 502 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: don't know why this is happening. But we run those 503 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 3: tests to say, we can rule out a lot of 504 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: bad things. So the blood work can rule out kidney disease, 505 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 3: liver disease, the X rays can rule out that they've 506 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 3: eaten something that they shouldn't have. So although the tests 507 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 3: may not always give us the answer, I can at 508 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: least tell us what it's not a lot of the times, 509 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 3: and GI disease is so ambiguous and there's so many 510 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 3: different things that can cause it that a lot of times, 511 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 3: if they're not getting better and Willa's case, we really 512 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: have to cast a very wide net to figure out 513 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 3: what's going on. And it can take time, and it 514 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 3: requires patience on the owner's end. You guys have been 515 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: I feel like we're so patient with it, but it 516 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 3: can be hard when you're your fergile is sick. 517 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 2: It can be really stressful. It's expensive, it's very expensive. 518 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: The work up. 519 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 3: There's this misconception that vets just want to run tests 520 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 3: and make money, but the reality is that sometimes we 521 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: have to run a bunch. 522 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: Of tests in order to to get to the bottom 523 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 2: of it. 524 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 6: So totally, and I think that's like medical with humans too, 525 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 6: Like you have to, yeah, say it's not all these 526 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 6: things before you can yeah, before you can you know, 527 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 6: rule them out. And I think rule out those common things, 528 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 6: all the common things that it most of the time 529 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 6: is exactly which it wasn't for her, which which it 530 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 6: was frustrating for us and you know, scary, and I've 531 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 6: kept failing like what are we missing? Yeah, or like 532 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 6: that I was like a crappy dog mom, yeah, you know, 533 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 6: because I feel like she is from a breeder and 534 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 6: I thought maybe that would have less issues. 535 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe. 536 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, It's crazy how I hear that all the time, 537 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: dog owners being like what am I doing wrong? Like 538 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 3: I feel like a crabby dog parent. And it is 539 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 3: a lot of times just out. 540 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: Of our hands. It is just the way it is. 541 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: So and it's the same with humans too. 542 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: Total. 543 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: So no, nothing you did wrong and of anything, like 544 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: you the way you and Jake candled it was really amazing. 545 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 3: In fact, one thing that I took away from it 546 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 3: is there's such a stigma with veterinarians and veterinary staff 547 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 3: that when the husband brings the dog in, we're always like, 548 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 3: oh God, here we go, because we'll be like, what 549 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 3: prevention is your pet on?

Number one, 706 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: they love to eat dirty socks and dirty underwear, so 707 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 3: make sure you put them in your hamper. That extra 708 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 3: second is going to save you money and heartbreak, because 709 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: if they do eat your socks and underwear, nine times 710 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 3: out of ten, I have to go in and get 711 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 3: them out surgically, and that's not fun for anyone. I've 712 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 3: also had taken out some panties before where they don't 713 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 3: belong to your significant other, and that's a very awkward conversation. 714 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: We'll save that for a case of the week. But 715 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 2: it's better for everyone. 716 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 3: So just put them up, keep them high, and your 717 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: pets will thank you, and so will I. I would 718 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 3: also never leave my medications or weed or any kind 719 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 3: of drug paraphernalia unattended. 720 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: Dogs love weed brownies, so do cats and cats and 721 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: cats they're like cat this is delicious. 722 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: And I have so many pets that come in just completely. 723 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 3: We call it stony baloney. They're so stoned and it's 724 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 3: we make light of it, but it's really not funny 725 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 3: because they are super duper sick. They're like urinating on themselves. 726 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 3: It can't keep their head up. 727 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: So although you may love to indulge in it, keep 728 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: it far and away from your animals. Yes, definitely. 729 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: I would also never leave the door to my garage open. 730 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 3: Dogs love when shield viper fluid. I don't remember exactly why. 731 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 3: I think it's sweet. 732 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 2: I think that's what it is. 733 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 3: But if they ingest when shield viper fluid, it is 734 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 3: like nine one one emergency. If they're not hospitalized right away. 735 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 3: It is almost always fatal. 736 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: No way.
