Have you ever been in a situation where you were unsure whether you needed to take your pet to the emergency vet or wait for the regular vet to open? I think it's pretty safe to assume most people have, at some point or another! Never fear, we've got Dr. Natalie Fayman DVM in the house to help us decide what needs the ER and what can wait for normal vet hours. Dr. Fayman was kind enough to have a nice chat with me, where we went over a list of common scenarios pet owners face on a daily basis, and lets us all get a bit of a better idea what needs an emergency visit! We discuss ear infections, eye injury, sudden or worsening loss of appetite, limps, even reverse sneezing (and more!) So, whether your pet got into your *stash* or has goopy eyes, you can find some answers here! I'd like to make sure that every listener is aware that this episode can not possibly ever replace the advice of your veterinarian, and when in doubt, take your pet to the doctor! It's always a better idea to be worried about nothing, than to not worry about something big.

Today, we're talking about former NFL quarterback Michael Vick and his merry band of cohorts (Tony Taylor, Quanis Phillips, Devon Boddie, and Purnell Peace), but way more importantly, we're going to talk about the heroic efforts shelters and rescue organizations made to save the dogs he tortured and exploited! I'm not gonna lie, pet people, this one has me very angry and sad. But I do think this is a very important story to tell. Especially since history was made in this case, and though it may only be a small step forward in the fight against animal cruelty, I want to celebrate it! Listen to learn about how "Bad Newz Kennels" turned from a place of absolute horror to a haven for safety and hope. Hopefully, with more eyes opened to the special kind of hell that is dog-fighting, we'll be able to put a stop to it forever!If you have any stories, ideas, questions, or just want to say "hey!" send me an email at [email protected] find us on social media!

Listen to learn all about the origin of the modern-day carbon monoxide detector, the inventions created to provide safety for both miners AND their birds, as well as some really cool facts about sentinel species and what makes them so helpful to humans! Humans going down into mines learned to rely on canaries for their own safety, but what makes this so amazing is that they also bonded with their feathered friends!
