47
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.080
I'm your host, Ardenmore. I am honored, delighted to have
48
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.639
on our show the president of the American Veterinary Medical Association,
49
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.159
that is doctor my Q. Bailey. Welcome Doctor Bailey. And
50
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.400
I'm just so curious what's the QUE stand for Winton
51
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.159
pin ten? Nice? All right, so crazy weather, crazy crazy weather,
52
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.240
and our dogs, our cats do not sweat like we do.
53
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.919
They don't have skin poores. So I'm hoping we're taking
54
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.000
our dog out for a walk. Please, can you unleash
55
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.680
a few good tips to keep them from getting heat
56
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.960
exhaustion or worse, heat stroke.
57
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.000
I'm going to back up just a little bit, if
58
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.479
it's okay with you, I'm going to start out. Any
59
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.240
time of year, please be sure you have adequate identification
60
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.360
for your pets on their collar and preferably the RFI chip,
61
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.560
And make sure that your contact information is up to date,
62
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.360
because if you get separated, it's the best chance of
63
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.080
getting them back to you as quickly as possible. Then
64
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.479
with this hot weather, and you know it's any weather really,
65
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.560
but during the hot weather, yes, our pets they eliminate
66
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.759
heat from the body through their respiration. So we need
67
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.439
to be sure that they have a place where they
68
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.439
have cool air, at least moving air so it moves
69
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.199
that hot air they're moving out. Make sure they have
70
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.879
plenty of fresh cool water, not cold water. We don't
71
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.600
want to upset their gi system, but we want them
72
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.000
to have cool water because as they're eliminating moisture, they
73
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.199
have to be able to replace that moisture. And remember
74
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.879
if people talk about clipping their pets in the summer,
75
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.199
you can if you want, but you don't have to that.
76
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.120
Actually that insulates them from the heat as well as
77
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.439
from the cold. But the most important thing is making
78
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.319
sure that your pet is adequately groomed. Those mats prevent
79
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.040
them from having that advantage of that insulation on their body.
80
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.079
Now I know that if I can jump in, I
81
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.639
know the Portuguese water dogs out there are loving you
82
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.439
because they're like, we want to have a nice outfit on,
83
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:53.879
Doctor Bailey, we need to make sure we have a
84
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.000
little bit of insulation. You talked a little bit about respiration,
85
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.120
and I think maybe you can help us out. We
86
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.199
have skin pores, dogs and cats, dolls. Can you talk
87
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.040
about the paws and the panting. What's going on.
88
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.319
Well, actually, they have poors in their nose, okay, not
89
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.519
throughout their body. Okay, their heat. If you've touched their pads,
90
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.319
their pads are going to be extremely warm. That's because
91
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.360
the fact they have a lot of blood vessels down
92
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.959
through there. And where I was going is you want
93
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.879
to be sure if you're taking them out for a
94
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.720
walk that if it's in the middle of the day,
95
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.240
that that asphalt, that concrete, or if you're at the
96
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.319
beach the sand is not too hot. And if you
97
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.199
do have a pet who is breathing fast, is drooling
98
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.120
a lot, their membranes get very pale. Where they're not steady,
99
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.839
they may be suffering from heat stress or heat stroke.
100
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.399
So get them into a cool area, a fan going
101
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.639
on them, a fan that protects them so they can't
102
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.319
stick their nose or their tail in through it. You
103
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.160
can put fool compresses wrong direction on their feet and
104
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.319
that will help draw the heat out of their body
105
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.279
through their even but we don't want them to burn
106
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.240
their pads on those hot surfaces.
107
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.439
Now, in my other job, I'm a master instructor in
108
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.519
pet first aid work with a lot of veterinarians, and
109
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.160
you touched upon cool water not ice, And in our
110
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.240
classes we tell our students ice ice not nice baby,
111
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.720
So tell us what's the danger of wanting to put
112
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.800
cold pack of frozen veggies on their bellies or give
113
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.279
them ice cubes? What's going on?
114
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.279
That sudden coolness can cause their blood vessels to constrict
115
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.920
and actually prevent blood from circulating through their vital organs.
116
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.000
So we don't need to go into details. Just don't
117
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.399
water put it on their feet, yes, which will draw
118
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.000
I don't know if you'd noticed, but some of the
119
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.120
fire departments for their firefighters actually have cooling things where
120
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.319
they put their hands into their cooling devices. Wow, hold
121
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.959
their entire devices. So we're doing the same thing.
122
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.839
What about sunscreen? What's the deal for dogs? Cats?
123
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.000
Oh, you are up on things. Yes, dogs and cats
124
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.959
get sunburned and can even get cancer. So yes, there
125
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.120
is sunscreen for your pets. I would talk to your veterinarian.
126
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.319
They're going to tell you what's best for your particular pet.
127
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.360
All right, Can we move to floods for two hundred,
128
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:15.399
doctor Bailey.
129
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:15.839
Let's move on.
130
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.639
My gosh, the Midwest and other places are getting walloped
131
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.040
streets have turned into rivers, currents. What is the danger
132
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.480
with floods for our pets and what can we do?
133
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.560
Where I live, we have flash floods just on Monday,
134
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.399
so yes, it can happen. So here's the first thing.
135
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.319
Have a go bag made for you your pet. This
136
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.560
should include their leash, their water, their food, their medications,
137
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.720
their medical history. If a cat, you can take one
138
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.079
of those shirt boxes and that folds down and you
139
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.040
can use that for their litter box. And if you're traveling,
140
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.120
you can use that for that also. But free planning,
141
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.480
do this beforehand, like that id I talked about, have
142
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.800
the go bag mate, and yes, you can also use
143
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.639
it as their travels suitcase if you travel with your pets.
144
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.600
And the idea is you can just grab it and
145
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.480
go because flash flood doesn't tell you it's coming. Nope.
146
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.519
So where are you in the country. Tell us a
147
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.040
little bit about what happened on Monday.
148
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.240
I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm wrong it was Sunday,
149
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.759
but yes, I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We landed after
150
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:19.639
coming back home and all of a sudden we see
151
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.759
the rivers by us are coming up right to the banks.
152
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.399
Oh my gosh, and you have a senior dog too.
153
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.279
Tell us a little bit about Sasha, seventeen.
154
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.480
Year old Sasha. She's a rescue dog. I'll be honest.
155
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.120
We didn't know what she was. We thought she was
156
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.080
a mutski. We did thegenic test on her and boundut
157
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.159
she was over seventy percent Swedish Valhoun Swedish cattle dog.
158
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.679
You're right. I'd never heard of her either before, and
159
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.000
I'm a veterinarian, but I looked her up and the
160
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.440
picture on Wikipedia could have been her.
161
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.440
She would never tell you if she loves you. She
162
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.600
loves you, so currents, what's the danger with floods? You're
163
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.519
trying to get out? And what can we do? Leashes?
164
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.559
I mean, carriers would tell us.
165
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:05.039
Any high of adverse weather has its adverse effects for everybody.
166
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.159
Here's one of the first things I tell when you evacuate,
167
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.679
do not leave your pets behind. Take them with.
168
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.799
You, Thank you, thank you.
169
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.320
Preferably you've identified beforehand where you would go. You want
170
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.919
to be sure if you're going to a shelter it's
171
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.600
a pet friendly shelter, because not all of them allow pets.
172
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.200
Some of them do have auxiliary boarding facilities associated with them.
173
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.000
If you're going to go to a hotel, make it
174
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.600
to a hotel that will And even if you're going
175
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.440
to visit your family, make sure they do not mind
176
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.320
that you bring Fluffy with you.
177
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.919
Okay, or in my case, five pets.
178
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.440
Talk to them beforehand. Prepare them, the pets and the family.
179
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.679
Let's talk about the floods too, the water, what's in
180
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.440
that water and why is it important when you're in
181
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.679
a safe place to really kind of rinse everything?
182
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.720
Okay, any of these disasters we're talking about the concerns
183
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:57.240
floods you're asking about specifically, that flood water is highly contaminated.
184
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.759
It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of how,
185
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.639
so plan on it. Do not let your pets go
186
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.360
outside and drink that flood water. And by the way,
187
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.120
you're talking about twenty ouncers per ten pounds of water
188
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.039
per day that they need, So you want to have
189
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.240
some extra water if you're staying at home or if
190
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.919
you're taking with it, that should be in your go
191
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039
bag at least some water taking with you, so you
192
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.919
don't want them drinking that water that's outside. Plus, no
193
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.200
matter whether it's a hurricane, whether it's floods. If they're
194
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.120
out there laying in the water, wandering the water, you
195
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.759
don't know what's under the surface. So you want to
196
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.480
be sure that you limit their exposure to that water,
197
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.759
not only because it's contaminated water, but because of debris
198
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.519
that could be underneath that water.
199
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.039
Let's say the G word, giardia. What the heck is that?
200
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.879
Don't be eating everybody while you're tuning in.
201
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.320
Go ahead, Yeah, that's right, giardia. Let's just say it
202
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.559
as well as other bacterial infections and parasitic infections can
203
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.480
be in that water. It is not filtered. So when
204
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:02.320
I'm talking about contamination, I'm talking about microbiologic contamination, I'm
205
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:07.440
talking about chemical contamination. I'm talking about foreign debris contamination.
206
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.399
So we do not want them drinking that water that's outside,
207
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.840
even though you say it's water. Dogs can handle it.
208
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:15.960
And then a few days later you're looking for an
209
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:17.039
emergency hospital.
210
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.200
We got to go to the big f fire. Fire, fire, fire.
211
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.879
I spent many years in California ocean side fire scare me.
212
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.159
What are some of the things that we need to
213
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.679
be worried about with fire? It's not just the flames right.
214
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:36.039
Right, Well, once again I'm repeating myself. Yes, identification and
215
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.960
go bag, have it ready so you can go and
216
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.960
take your pet with you when it comes to fire.
217
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.480
Let's start out from distance because we've had fires, remember
218
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.039
in Canada, but we had smoke here in the eastern
219
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.279
United States, right, So you have to be careful because
220
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.759
that smoke is an irritant, particularly if you have a
221
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.879
pet who has some kind of respiratory disease, but even not,
222
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.039
it can lead to inspiratory disease. Take them out for
223
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.159
short periods of time. If you see soot building up,
224
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.159
be sure you clean their mouth and their nose and
225
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.519
their fur because you don't want them licking anything off
226
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.399
of their paws, off of their fur. Keep your windows closed.
227
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.240
Now. I do work with a lot of EMTs and
228
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.639
paramedics and firefighters in my first aid program, and they said,
229
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.039
there's a line close before you doze. In other words,
230
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.360
they're saying, if you can have your pets sleep with
231
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.200
you in the bedroom with the door shut to the
232
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.840
bedroom in case there's a fire in the house. Have
233
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.000
you heard that expression.
234
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.399
I haven't heard that expression, but it makes good sense.
235
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.320
First of all, believe it or not. Your pets are
236
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.879
probably going to save you if there's something goes on.
237
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.120
So if there's a fire in the house, they will
238
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.879
hear it, they will feel it, they will smell it
239
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.159
before you do, and they're going to get anxious and
240
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:53.600
they're going to wake you up. So that's your protection. Also,
241
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.919
if you can have one room where you close everything down,
242
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.879
that includes sometimes pushing things underneath of the door. It's
243
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.320
so the smoke cannot get in. You do not want
244
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.480
to leave the windows open when it's a very smoky environment.
245
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.120
And if you have the advantage, you can even have
246
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.080
some sort of filtering system which helps filter the air.
247
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.759
And it's easier to do in one room than multiple
248
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.879
rooms in your house.
249
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.919
All right, now, it's an old one, but it's a
250
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.879
needed to say. Don't leave your dog or cat in
251
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.159
a car and go into the shopping mall. Please tell
252
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.360
me what's going on.
253
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.559
This is one of the things I tell people. You
254
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.879
wouldn't leave your children, I hope in a car if
255
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.919
you figure you're out with your pet. And let's first
256
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.519
talk about your taking your pet in the car. Lots
257
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.720
of people do. I personally do not recommend having them
258
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.080
riding on your lap if you are the driver. Why
259
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.639
because they could grab that steering wheel and cause an accident.
260
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.200
But even if there's nothing that they've caused, if you're
261
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.919
in an accident the pet is in between you and
262
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:56.440
the airbag, it can be catastrophic. Now you're taking your
263
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.480
pet out with you. If you're driving with the windows open,
264
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.879
the pets should be secured in the car through a
265
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.840
pet safe harness system so they can't jump out of
266
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.320
the window. They love, I know, the air, but we
267
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.759
don't want them hitting the ground or getting away. Now
268
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.080
you've stopped and say, oh, I need to pick up
269
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.200
something at the store. I'm just gonna run in for
270
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.080
a minute. You run in, it takes longer than you think.
271
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.200
You're fine. You left the car running with the air conditioning.
272
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.320
Modern cars have timers on them. They turn the cars off,
273
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.720
so you think the air conditioning's running. Those cars heat
274
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.279
up over one hundred degrees in minutes.
275
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.960
Wow. I love that you said not on the lap.
276
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.080
I also want people to know they really shouldn't be
277
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.320
riding shotgun next to you in the passenger seat. I'm
278
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.120
just thinking of the windshield propulsion, right.
279
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.879
That's why those pet approof harness systems are great because
280
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:50.039
they clip into the seatbelts. Yeah, preferably treat them like
281
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.000
a child under forty pounds in the back of the car.
282
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.279
In the back, in the back, in the back.
283
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:57.759
Not in a pickup bed.
284
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.799
Thank you, Thank you. I know you're you're the president
285
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.120
of the AVMA. You got all these duties. But what
286
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.919
is something that dogs cats have made you a better
287
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.799
human for? What would you say?
288
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.039
They make me aware. They make me aware of other people,
289
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:17.879
and my particular critter if she senses I have a
290
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.279
little bit of stress, she has a way of telling me.
291
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.759
She comes and puts her head up in my hand
292
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.879
and says, pet me, And you know, yeah, she's getting
293
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.320
something out of it. But really she's usually doing it
294
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.080
in times when she feels stress in me.
295
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.080
And your blood pressure is dropping thanks to Sasha, right, correct.
296
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.879
Pets are wonderful for blood pressure control.
297
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.200
You need to brag a little bit about the AVMA.
298
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.039
The stats that I have say that you guys have
299
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.919
about one hundred and eleven thousand veterinarians all over and
300
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.960
you've been around since not you, but the AVMA since
301
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.080
eighteen sixty three. How important is the AVMA today?
302
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.759
The AVMA is the primary voice for veterinary professionals in
303
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.679
the United States. However, not just the United States. We're
304
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:06.840
a voice for veterinarians and human health care veterinarians. We
305
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.519
have what's called one Health Animal health, human health, environmental health.
306
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:16.799
Veterinarians are the world recognized experts on one Health AVMA,
307
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.039
and you can find more information on AVMA dot org.
308
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.440
You'll be surprised to find out how one Health is
309
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.679
a way that veterinarians help keep everybody healthy. And you
310
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.960
know what do veterinarians do? You know that rabies vaccine
311
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:34.159
that we give you dog and cat. I ask people
312
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:35.759
why do we give it? They say to protect the
313
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.960
dog and cat. That's true, but we do it to
314
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.720
protect you.
315
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.360
Yes, nobody wants raby shots.
316
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.120
No, you don't want raby shots. And you do not
317
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.080
want rabies. It is a nearly fail disease in all
318
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.399
cases if not treated.
319
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:54.759
So you are a radiologist, right your certification. So when
320
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.720
you were a little boy, I guess you grew up
321
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.440
in Jersey, just like my producer Mark Winter, he grew
322
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.679
up in Jersey, New Jersey state. Yes, So what made
323
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.920
you say one day I am going to be a
324
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.359
veterinarian and not a painter or a rock star. What
325
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.480
made you make that call?
326
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.039
Well, you know I could have been either those because
327
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.680
I love tinkering on things, all right, I'm musically inclined,
328
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:24.559
but veterinary medicine science helping animals has always been the
329
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.640
primary focus for me. And I'd say I knew I
330
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.319
was going to be a veterinarian since I was in
331
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.480
junior high school, if not before. My parents always said
332
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.200
I was a dog whisper. I'd have a dog. They'd
333
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.440
come over and never saw them before, and all of
334
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.880
a sudden we were fast friends.
335
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.599
Come on, get into the dog mind. They sniff you.
336
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.599
They know this is a cool dude, right.
337
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.119
You know, never having been a dog. I can't speak
338
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.319
for them, but I think they know.
339
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.960
Oh my gosh, my gosh. So we did forget one
340
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.880
more Mother Nature and Icky, and that is tornadoes. Can
341
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.000
you touch upon that?
342
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.119
Well, you know, everything which we have said covered four
343
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:07.160
tornadoes or hurricanes or volcanoes even okay.
344
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.079
Yeah, we got to include our friends from Hawaii, Yes,
345
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:09.640
that's right.
346
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.240
Well, even the Pacific Northwest.
347
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.920
And the Pacific Northwest, that's right.
348
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.119
So it comes down to do not leave your pets behind,
349
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.480
have the identification, have a go bag ready because you
350
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.599
never know when you're going to have something hurricanes. If
351
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.200
they say leave, I would recommend you do. But still
352
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.200
it comes down to plan beforehand. If I'm going to leave,
353
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.960
where am I going to go? Where is a safe
354
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.480
area and make sure that's a place you can take
355
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:37.880
your pet.
356
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.920
What do you think about having little test runs where
357
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.519
you time the family to get everybody out of the
358
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.359
house with the pets and the go bags. What do
359
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.839
you think of that idea? Make it fun for the pets? Right,
360
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:48.400
that's right.
361
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.960
I have a son who is a paramedic firefighter. Oh,
362
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.599
I always says that it is good. You know, you
363
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.240
hear me talk about pre planning. He says, you pre
364
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.960
plan let everybody know. Let's say they're not at home
365
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.359
with you, where are you going to meet up?
366
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.000
All right? You talked about the identification. I know there's
367
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.759
some places where you can actually if you are not
368
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.920
at home and the pet is at home that a firefighter.
369
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.200
If you have some identification that says you have two
370
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.720
dogs and a cat at home, your son is a paramedic,
371
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.079
what do you think about adding that kind of ID
372
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:24.319
I know there's a group called Save My Pet ID.
373
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.319
It's a wonderful woman. She does it for the kindness
374
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.160
of her heart. But what do you think about having
375
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.279
something on you that says you have pets at home?
376
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.240
It's always good to have something that tells people where
377
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.240
family members are located. It's good to have that identification
378
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.640
on your windows so the firefighters know there's a good
379
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.839
chance that there's a pet inside here. But even more,
380
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.240
if you're leaving the home, hopefully taking your pets with them,
381
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.400
put a note on the door that says all pets
382
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.599
removed so they do not have to worry about est.
383
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.799
Yeah. Yeah, So how long has your son been a paramedic?
384
00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:59.880
Oh, fifteen years or more?
385
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.680
So medicine and helping others kind of is in your
386
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.319
DNA for the Bailey bunch, right, oh.
387
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.559
Yeah, all of us. We won't go into detail, but
388
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.000
all of us, Bailey, there's four in my immediate household
389
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.480
and we all are involved with first responders in healthcare.
390
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.000
All right. I always ask my guests this question, if
391
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.519
you could have one trait of a dog or a cat,
392
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.839
what would it be? And why we're talking to the
393
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.359
ABMA president, Doctor Michael Q. Bailey.
394
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.279
Oh, you know, there's so many, But I think it's
395
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.839
really a matter of how do I make it so
396
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.599
that these individuals know that we are friends. All of
397
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:40.759
us are friends, and our pets, dogs and cats, even
398
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.920
those cats. Remember you don't own a cat. They own you,
399
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.920
and they look out for people who may not feel
400
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.039
comfortable around them. But they're not trying to be mean.
401
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.960
They're trying to say, hey, I'm a cat, I love
402
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.279
people and I want to be around you too.
403
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.759
Nice. Nice. So it is that ability of our dogs
404
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.279
and cats to kind of read room right correct.
405
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.680
They can break the ice better than anything.
406
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.279
Hey, everybody, we've been speaking with doctor Michael Q. Bailey,
407
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:12.039

412
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.319
I think it's great, But you know, I also want
413
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.640
to say make sure you have a relationship with your
414
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.279
local veterinarian because they're a good source of information. They
415
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.119
know your pet better than anybody, and not just your veterinarian,
416
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.519
but your veterinary healthcare team. They are there to help
417
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:40.079
you and your pet. A lot of the questions we're
418
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:43.039
talking about they can answer to and be more specific
419
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:44.920
about your particular.

Back to the Old Behave Show on Pet Life Radio.
47
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.080
I'm your host, Ardenmore. I am honored, delighted to have
48
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.639
on our show the president of the American Veterinary Medical Association,
49
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.159
that is doctor my Q. Bailey. Welcome Doctor Bailey. And
50
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.400
I'm just so curious what's the QUE stand for Winton
51
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.159
pin ten? Nice? All right, so crazy weather, crazy crazy weather,
52
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.240
and our dogs, our cats do not sweat like we do.
53
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.919
They don't have skin poores. So I'm hoping we're taking
54
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.000
our dog out for a walk. Please, can you unleash
55
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.680
a few good tips to keep them from getting heat
56
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.960
exhaustion or worse, heat stroke.
57
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.000
I'm going to back up just a little bit, if
58
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.479
it's okay with you, I'm going to start out. Any
59
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.240
time of year, please be sure you have adequate identification
60
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.360
for your pets on their collar and preferably the RFI chip,
61
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.560
And make sure that your contact information is up to date,
62
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.360
because if you get separated, it's the best chance of
63
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.080
getting them back to you as quickly as possible. Then
64
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.479
with this hot weather, and you know it's any weather really,
65
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.560
but during the hot weather, yes, our pets they eliminate
66
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.759
heat from the body through their respiration. So we need
67
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.439
to be sure that they have a place where they
68
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.439
have cool air, at least moving air so it moves
69
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.199
that hot air they're moving out. Make sure they have
70
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.879
plenty of fresh cool water, not cold water. We don't
71
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.600
want to upset their gi system, but we want them
72
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.000
to have cool water because as they're eliminating moisture, they
73
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.199
have to be able to replace that moisture. And remember
74
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.879
if people talk about clipping their pets in the summer,
75
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.199
you can if you want, but you don't have to that.
76
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.120
Actually that insulates them from the heat as well as
77
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.439
from the cold. But the most important thing is making
78
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.319
sure that your pet is adequately groomed. Those mats prevent
79
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.040
them from having that advantage of that insulation on their body.
80
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.079
Now I know that if I can jump in, I
81
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.639
know the Portuguese water dogs out there are loving you
82
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.439
because they're like, we want to have a nice outfit on,
83
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:53.879
Doctor Bailey, we need to make sure we have a
84
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.000
little bit of insulation. You talked a little bit about respiration,
85
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.120
and I think maybe you can help us out. We
86
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.199
have skin pores, dogs and cats, dolls. Can you talk
87
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.040
about the paws and the panting. What's going on.
88
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.319
Well, actually, they have poors in their nose, okay, not
89
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.519
throughout their body. Okay, their heat. If you've touched their pads,
90
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.319
their pads are going to be extremely warm. That's because
91
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.360
the fact they have a lot of blood vessels down
92
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.959
through there. And where I was going is you want
93
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.879
to be sure if you're taking them out for a
94
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.720
walk that if it's in the middle of the day,
95
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.240
that that asphalt, that concrete, or if you're at the
96
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.319
beach the sand is not too hot. And if you
97
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.199
do have a pet who is breathing fast, is drooling
98
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.120
a lot, their membranes get very pale. Where they're not steady,
99
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.839
they may be suffering from heat stress or heat stroke.
100
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.399
So get them into a cool area, a fan going
101
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.639
on them, a fan that protects them so they can't
102
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.319
stick their nose or their tail in through it. You
103
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.160
can put fool compresses wrong direction on their feet and
104
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.319
that will help draw the heat out of their body
105
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.279
through their even but we don't want them to burn
106
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.240
their pads on those hot surfaces.
107
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.439
Now, in my other job, I'm a master instructor in
108
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.519
pet first aid work with a lot of veterinarians, and
109
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.160
you touched upon cool water not ice, And in our
110
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.240
classes we tell our students ice ice not nice baby,
111
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.720
So tell us what's the danger of wanting to put
112
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.800
cold pack of frozen veggies on their bellies or give
113
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.279
them ice cubes? What's going on?
114
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.279
That sudden coolness can cause their blood vessels to constrict
115
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.920
and actually prevent blood from circulating through their vital organs.
116
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.000
So we don't need to go into details. Just don't
117
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.399
water put it on their feet, yes, which will draw
118
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.000
I don't know if you'd noticed, but some of the
119
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.120
fire departments for their firefighters actually have cooling things where
120
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.319
they put their hands into their cooling devices. Wow, hold
121
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.959
their entire devices. So we're doing the same thing.
122
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.839
What about sunscreen? What's the deal for dogs? Cats?
123
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.000
Oh, you are up on things. Yes, dogs and cats
124
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.959
get sunburned and can even get cancer. So yes, there
125
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.120
is sunscreen for your pets. I would talk to your veterinarian.
126
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.319
They're going to tell you what's best for your particular pet.
127
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.360
All right, Can we move to floods for two hundred,
128
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:15.399
doctor Bailey.
129
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:15.839
Let's move on.
130
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.639
My gosh, the Midwest and other places are getting walloped
131
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.040
streets have turned into rivers, currents. What is the danger
132
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.480
with floods for our pets and what can we do?
133
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.560
Where I live, we have flash floods just on Monday,
134
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.399
so yes, it can happen. So here's the first thing.
135
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.319
Have a go bag made for you your pet. This
136
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.560
should include their leash, their water, their food, their medications,
137
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.720
their medical history. If a cat, you can take one
138
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.079
of those shirt boxes and that folds down and you
139
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.040
can use that for their litter box. And if you're traveling,
140
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.120
you can use that for that also. But free planning,
141
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.480
do this beforehand, like that id I talked about, have
142
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.800
the go bag mate, and yes, you can also use
143
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.639
it as their travels suitcase if you travel with your pets.
144
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.600
And the idea is you can just grab it and
145
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.480
go because flash flood doesn't tell you it's coming. Nope.
146
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.519
So where are you in the country. Tell us a
147
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.040
little bit about what happened on Monday.
148
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.240
I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm wrong it was Sunday,
149
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.759
but yes, I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We landed after
150
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:19.639
coming back home and all of a sudden we see
151
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.759
the rivers by us are coming up right to the banks.
152
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.399
Oh my gosh, and you have a senior dog too.
153
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.279
Tell us a little bit about Sasha, seventeen.
154
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.480
Year old Sasha. She's a rescue dog. I'll be honest.
155
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.120
We didn't know what she was. We thought she was
156
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.080
a mutski. We did thegenic test on her and boundut
157
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.159
she was over seventy percent Swedish Valhoun Swedish cattle dog.
158
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.679
You're right. I'd never heard of her either before, and
159
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.000
I'm a veterinarian, but I looked her up and the
160
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.440
picture on Wikipedia could have been her.
161
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.440
She would never tell you if she loves you. She
162
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.600
loves you, so currents, what's the danger with floods? You're
163
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.519
trying to get out? And what can we do? Leashes?
164
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.559
I mean, carriers would tell us.
165
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:05.039
Any high of adverse weather has its adverse effects for everybody.
166
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.159
Here's one of the first things I tell when you evacuate,
167
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.679
do not leave your pets behind. Take them with.
168
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.799
You, Thank you, thank you.
169
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.320
Preferably you've identified beforehand where you would go. You want
170
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.919
to be sure if you're going to a shelter it's
171
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.600
a pet friendly shelter, because not all of them allow pets.
172
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.200
Some of them do have auxiliary boarding facilities associated with them.
173
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.000
If you're going to go to a hotel, make it
174
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.600
to a hotel that will And even if you're going
175
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.440
to visit your family, make sure they do not mind
176
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.320
that you bring Fluffy with you.
177
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.919
Okay, or in my case, five pets.
178
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.440
Talk to them beforehand. Prepare them, the pets and the family.
179
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.679
Let's talk about the floods too, the water, what's in
180
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.440
that water and why is it important when you're in
181
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.679
a safe place to really kind of rinse everything?
182
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.720
Okay, any of these disasters we're talking about the concerns
183
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:57.240
floods you're asking about specifically, that flood water is highly contaminated.
184
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.759
It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of how,
185
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.639
so plan on it. Do not let your pets go
186
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.360
outside and drink that flood water. And by the way,
187
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.120
you're talking about twenty ouncers per ten pounds of water
188
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.039
per day that they need, So you want to have
189
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.240
some extra water if you're staying at home or if
190
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.919
you're taking with it, that should be in your go
191
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039
bag at least some water taking with you, so you
192
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.919
don't want them drinking that water that's outside. Plus, no
193
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.200
matter whether it's a hurricane, whether it's floods. If they're
194
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.120
out there laying in the water, wandering the water, you
195
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.759
don't know what's under the surface. So you want to
196
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.480
be sure that you limit their exposure to that water,
197
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.759
not only because it's contaminated water, but because of debris
198
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.519
that could be underneath that water.
199
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.039
Let's say the G word, giardia. What the heck is that?
200
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.879
Don't be eating everybody while you're tuning in.
201
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.320
Go ahead, Yeah, that's right, giardia. Let's just say it
202
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.559
as well as other bacterial infections and parasitic infections can
203
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.480
be in that water. It is not filtered. So when
204
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:02.320
I'm talking about contamination, I'm talking about microbiologic contamination, I'm
205
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:07.440
talking about chemical contamination. I'm talking about foreign debris contamination.
206
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.399
So we do not want them drinking that water that's outside,
207
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.840
even though you say it's water. Dogs can handle it.
208
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:15.960
And then a few days later you're looking for an
209
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:17.039
emergency hospital.
210
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.200
We got to go to the big f fire. Fire, fire, fire.
211
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.879
I spent many years in California ocean side fire scare me.
212
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.159
What are some of the things that we need to
213
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.679
be worried about with fire? It's not just the flames right.
214
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:36.039
Right, Well, once again I'm repeating myself. Yes, identification and
215
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.960
go bag, have it ready so you can go and
216
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.960
take your pet with you when it comes to fire.
217
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.480
Let's start out from distance because we've had fires, remember
218
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.039
in Canada, but we had smoke here in the eastern
219
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.279
United States, right, So you have to be careful because
220
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.759
that smoke is an irritant, particularly if you have a
221
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.879
pet who has some kind of respiratory disease, but even not,
222
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.039
it can lead to inspiratory disease. Take them out for
223
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.159
short periods of time. If you see soot building up,
224
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.159
be sure you clean their mouth and their nose and
225
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.519
their fur because you don't want them licking anything off
226
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.399
of their paws, off of their fur. Keep your windows closed.
227
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.240
Now. I do work with a lot of EMTs and
228
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.639
paramedics and firefighters in my first aid program, and they said,
229
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.039
there's a line close before you doze. In other words,
230
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.360
they're saying, if you can have your pets sleep with
231
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.200
you in the bedroom with the door shut to the
232
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.840
bedroom in case there's a fire in the house. Have
233
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.000
you heard that expression.
234
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.399
I haven't heard that expression, but it makes good sense.
235
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.320
First of all, believe it or not. Your pets are
236
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.879
probably going to save you if there's something goes on.
237
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.120
So if there's a fire in the house, they will
238
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.879
hear it, they will feel it, they will smell it
239
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.159
before you do, and they're going to get anxious and
240
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:53.600
they're going to wake you up. So that's your protection. Also,
241
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.919
if you can have one room where you close everything down,
242
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.879
that includes sometimes pushing things underneath of the door. It's
243
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.320
so the smoke cannot get in. You do not want
244
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.480
to leave the windows open when it's a very smoky environment.
245
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.120
And if you have the advantage, you can even have
246
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.080
some sort of filtering system which helps filter the air.
247
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.759
And it's easier to do in one room than multiple
248
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.879
rooms in your house.
249
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.919
All right, now, it's an old one, but it's a
250
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.879
needed to say. Don't leave your dog or cat in
251
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.159
a car and go into the shopping mall. Please tell
252
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.360
me what's going on.
253
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.559
This is one of the things I tell people. You
254
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.879
wouldn't leave your children, I hope in a car if
255
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.919
you figure you're out with your pet. And let's first
256
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.519
talk about your taking your pet in the car. Lots
257
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.720
of people do. I personally do not recommend having them
258
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.080
riding on your lap if you are the driver. Why
259
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.639
because they could grab that steering wheel and cause an accident.
260
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.200
But even if there's nothing that they've caused, if you're
261
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.919
in an accident the pet is in between you and
262
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:56.440
the airbag, it can be catastrophic. Now you're taking your
263
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.480
pet out with you. If you're driving with the windows open,
264
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.879
the pets should be secured in the car through a
265
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.840
pet safe harness system so they can't jump out of
266
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.320
the window. They love, I know, the air, but we
267
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.759
don't want them hitting the ground or getting away. Now
268
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.080
you've stopped and say, oh, I need to pick up
269
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.200
something at the store. I'm just gonna run in for
270
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.080
a minute. You run in, it takes longer than you think.
271
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.200
You're fine. You left the car running with the air conditioning.
272
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.320
Modern cars have timers on them. They turn the cars off,
273
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.720
so you think the air conditioning's running. Those cars heat
274
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.279
up over one hundred degrees in minutes.
275
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.960
Wow. I love that you said not on the lap.
276
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.080
I also want people to know they really shouldn't be
277
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.320
riding shotgun next to you in the passenger seat. I'm
278
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.120
just thinking of the windshield propulsion, right.
279
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.879
That's why those pet approof harness systems are great because
280
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:50.039
they clip into the seatbelts. Yeah, preferably treat them like
281
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.000
a child under forty pounds in the back of the car.
282
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.279
In the back, in the back, in the back.
283
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:57.759
Not in a pickup bed.
284
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.799
Thank you, Thank you. I know you're you're the president
285
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.120
of the AVMA. You got all these duties. But what
286
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.919
is something that dogs cats have made you a better
287
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.799
human for? What would you say?
288
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.039
They make me aware. They make me aware of other people,
289
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:17.879
and my particular critter if she senses I have a
290
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.279
little bit of stress, she has a way of telling me.
291
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.759
She comes and puts her head up in my hand
292
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.879
and says, pet me, And you know, yeah, she's getting
293
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.320
something out of it. But really she's usually doing it
294
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.080
in times when she feels stress in me.
295
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.080
And your blood pressure is dropping thanks to Sasha, right, correct.
296
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.879
Pets are wonderful for blood pressure control.
297
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.200
You need to brag a little bit about the AVMA.
298
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.039
The stats that I have say that you guys have
299
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.919
about one hundred and eleven thousand veterinarians all over and
300
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.960
you've been around since not you, but the AVMA since
301
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.080
eighteen sixty three. How important is the AVMA today?
302
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.759
The AVMA is the primary voice for veterinary professionals in
303
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.679
the United States. However, not just the United States. We're
304
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:06.840
a voice for veterinarians and human health care veterinarians. We
305
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.519
have what's called one Health Animal health, human health, environmental health.
306
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:16.799
Veterinarians are the world recognized experts on one Health AVMA,
307
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.039
and you can find more information on AVMA dot org.
308
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.440
You'll be surprised to find out how one Health is
309
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.679
a way that veterinarians help keep everybody healthy. And you
310
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.960
know what do veterinarians do? You know that rabies vaccine
311
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:34.159
that we give you dog and cat. I ask people
312
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:35.759
why do we give it? They say to protect the
313
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.960
dog and cat. That's true, but we do it to
314
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.720
protect you.
315
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.360
Yes, nobody wants raby shots.
316
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.120
No, you don't want raby shots. And you do not
317
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.080
want rabies. It is a nearly fail disease in all
318
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.399
cases if not treated.
319
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:54.759
So you are a radiologist, right your certification. So when
320
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.720
you were a little boy, I guess you grew up
321
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.440
in Jersey, just like my producer Mark Winter, he grew
322
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.679
up in Jersey, New Jersey state. Yes, So what made
323
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.920
you say one day I am going to be a
324
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.359
veterinarian and not a painter or a rock star. What
325
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.480
made you make that call?
326
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.039
Well, you know I could have been either those because
327
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.680
I love tinkering on things, all right, I'm musically inclined,
328
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:24.559
but veterinary medicine science helping animals has always been the
329
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.640
primary focus for me. And I'd say I knew I
330
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.319
was going to be a veterinarian since I was in
331
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.480
junior high school, if not before. My parents always said
332
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.200
I was a dog whisper. I'd have a dog. They'd
333
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.440
come over and never saw them before, and all of
334
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.880
a sudden we were fast friends.
335
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.599
Come on, get into the dog mind. They sniff you.
336
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.599
They know this is a cool dude, right.
337
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.119
You know, never having been a dog. I can't speak
338
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.319
for them, but I think they know.
339
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.960
Oh my gosh, my gosh. So we did forget one
340
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.880
more Mother Nature and Icky, and that is tornadoes. Can
341
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.000
you touch upon that?
342
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.119
Well, you know, everything which we have said covered four
343
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:07.160
tornadoes or hurricanes or volcanoes even okay.
344
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.079
Yeah, we got to include our friends from Hawaii, Yes,
345
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:09.640
that's right.
346
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.240
Well, even the Pacific Northwest.
347
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.920
And the Pacific Northwest, that's right.
348
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.119
So it comes down to do not leave your pets behind,
349
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.480
have the identification, have a go bag ready because you
350
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.599
never know when you're going to have something hurricanes. If
351
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.200
they say leave, I would recommend you do. But still
352
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.200
it comes down to plan beforehand. If I'm going to leave,
353
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.960
where am I going to go? Where is a safe
354
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.480
area and make sure that's a place you can take
355
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:37.880
your pet.
356
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.920
What do you think about having little test runs where
357
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.519
you time the family to get everybody out of the
358
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.359
house with the pets and the go bags. What do
359
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.839
you think of that idea? Make it fun for the pets? Right,
360
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:48.400
that's right.
361
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.960
I have a son who is a paramedic firefighter. Oh,
362
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.599
I always says that it is good. You know, you
363
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.240
hear me talk about pre planning. He says, you pre
364
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.960
plan let everybody know. Let's say they're not at home
365
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.359
with you, where are you going to meet up?
366
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.000
All right? You talked about the identification. I know there's
367
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.759
some places where you can actually if you are not
368
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.920
at home and the pet is at home that a firefighter.
369
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.200
If you have some identification that says you have two
370
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.720
dogs and a cat at home, your son is a paramedic,
371
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.079
what do you think about adding that kind of ID
372
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:24.319
I know there's a group called Save My Pet ID.
373
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.319
It's a wonderful woman. She does it for the kindness
374
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.160
of her heart. But what do you think about having
375
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.279
something on you that says you have pets at home?
376
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.240
It's always good to have something that tells people where
377
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.240
family members are located. It's good to have that identification
378
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.640
on your windows so the firefighters know there's a good
379
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.839
chance that there's a pet inside here. But even more,
380
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.240
if you're leaving the home, hopefully taking your pets with them,
381
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.400
put a note on the door that says all pets
382
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.599
removed so they do not have to worry about est.
383
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.799
Yeah. Yeah, So how long has your son been a paramedic?
384
00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:59.880
Oh, fifteen years or more?
385
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.680
So medicine and helping others kind of is in your
386
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.319
DNA for the Bailey bunch, right, oh.
387
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.559
Yeah, all of us. We won't go into detail, but
388
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.000
all of us, Bailey, there's four in my immediate household
389
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.480
and we all are involved with first responders in healthcare.
390
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.000
All right. I always ask my guests this question, if
391
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.519
you could have one trait of a dog or a cat,
392
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.839
what would it be? And why we're talking to the
393
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.359
ABMA president, Doctor Michael Q. Bailey.
394
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.279
Oh, you know, there's so many, But I think it's
395
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.839
really a matter of how do I make it so
396
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.599
that these individuals know that we are friends. All of
397
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:40.759
us are friends, and our pets, dogs and cats, even
398
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.920
those cats. Remember you don't own a cat. They own you,
399
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.920
and they look out for people who may not feel
400
