How sad, I feel Kate's pain. Her attachment to Benny is NOT Unnatural , in my eyes. He IS her Life. xxxx
@@hypnotherapy69 where did it show her declawing her cat? She put nail caps on, two VERY different things
I think she was trying to hold herself to a more intellectual standard because of her profession. But this is what having an animal be a part of your family is like. There's a bond that is always unique to each different animal you have.
The fact Kate is bold enough to ask the question am I being ignorant to him being in pain or unhappy ... shows she knows her dogs best Intrests are at heart, I hope when my purr babies are old I am brave enough to do this xx
Don't you think that someone who has lived with a pet for that long, should know when the animal is in pain or being unhappy? I think so, after living with 7 cats in my life. The way I perceive Kate's rather mixed message, saying that she realizes she has an abnormal attachment to her dog and that she doesn't wish to be ignorant of her dog's pain or unhappiness, is the underlying struggle with letting go of control: letting her dog reach old age, and die.
Kate's dog's collapse might be an anxiety that he picks up from Kate. After all, she tells us that she has observed her dog growing older in the past year. It's likely that her anxiety, due to this "abnormal attachment" is causing this dog's condition. Some pets and I do know this from witnessing, try to live up to their owner's expectations, up to a point.....
Pets absorb, and pick up, the emotional state of their owners. It's what we all know, especially Cesar Milan 😉
@@devonseamoor having worked in vet practice you will be surprised at what owners convince themselves their pet isn't going through, through pure denial. I myself have had the battle of watching my guineapig who was going through renal failure I did everything injections scans fluids, hand feeding every 2 hours, manually helping him to toilet, giving subcutaneous fluids and in the end he passed away on my chest. In hind sight I should of let him go sooner in my arms than let him go through the final day of that. But My cat has been gravely poorly with the cat equivalent of chrones and she's only 2years old and I though I was going to loose her vets told me to put her to sleep I said no I wanted treatment and strict dietary management first and she's happy and healthy now. It's always hit and miss but I would like to think now that I would know when enough is enough. For some people they need to just just be told that their animal is in pain and suffering its hard and you don't want to hear it. But pets can't speak and they hide it so so well.
Me to I’m so scared for my fur baby’s and their not even old yet
You will be Tyra ... you will be brave enough. The fact that you even asked that question tells me you will know what's needed and when it's the right time. Always remember, when you give your pets the easy way out, the last things they ever know are the touch of a familiar hand and the sound of a loved voice ... and that's not a bad way to go.
100% agree! Random - how do you do your eyeshadow? What brand do you use?
"I don't want to lose him, I wish he could live forever." It's so hard to see your best friend slowly slipping away, out of your life. 💔
Absolutely:(
My senior animals taught me so much about life. I think they're some kind of angels. I'm sure their reward is great.
Boy, do I share this sentiment. My cat of ten years was my best friend and I wished so often he could live forever, too. It broke my heart when he passed away.
This comments is just so true i also wanted my puppy milo to live really long but he's now gone..
Animals live on in your heart 🫀
I love that Harrys owner is so practical about this operation. He really looks out for his cats welfare above any sentimental values of "manhood". Harry couldn't have a better dad!
It’s like the exact opposite of the lady who had to get her bulldog neutered but her boyfriend insisted that she couldn’t unless they put in special prosthetic balls 😂 why was that guy so obsessed with his dog still having big dangling balls?!
@@embb82 INR !!!!!!!! 😂
@@embb82 The dog's balls were bigger than her boyfriend's balls.
Does one love the dog or love the dog's little boy parts the best? Would a real man 👨love a woman for her cup size or the rest of herself - heart, mind, soul first, and then her body parts? Would he like to be loved for himself first or mabe only for his little boy parts??? Do the dog's "attributes" make the guy more "manly"??What is so powerful or so wonderful about this man that he gets to make rules about her dog?
Thank Goodness, Chris was able think outside the box, yet again, and come up with a solution for the dog's welfare first, the owner's peace of mind next, and way, way, way down the list for the "man's" satisfaction. .
I just hope those implants don't cause any problems in the future, even though I am absolutely certain Chris researched them thoroughly, stuff does happen. Chris would refuse to do anything that isn't totally safe, especially for cosmetic looks.
@@mychatpalace Same here. I am so tired of this guy's idea of manhood. Just fed up. Just as a statement in general, for a man or a woman, it doesn't matter what the externals are, if there are no worthwhile internal values, then it's a waste of time and energy.
P.S. you gave me a wonderful giggle over your "manly" statements - spot on, girlfriend!
I love when Dr. Andrew is on, he's such an incredible vet.
l Love when Dr Andrew is on he s
Such an incredible vet xxxxxxx💖
Some 30 yrs ago or so, my ginger male required this type of surgery when he was 3 to 4 yrs old. He no longer had urinary problems, no more urgent vet visits and procedures. He went on tolive for another 15 yrs with no further urinary issues.
Same with my ginger baby
My mother's ginger had similar surgery. Is this related to the color?
I have a ginger male I adopted last year. He is about 2. I have only had female cats before. What were your cats early symptoms?
@@christinewalker3077 I don't know at first I thought my cat was constipated because he's kept going in and out of he's cat litter tray
@@christinewalker3077 My Morris began going to his litter box numerous times in a day. This is like a cat who has a urinary tract infection. Pees a small amount at a time. Tends to urinate outside his box and blood is often noted in urine. Also can smell bad.
i just lost my beautiful, black kitty, who was like a soul mate. at 17 he was showing many signs of getting older - it didn’t bother me to clean up after him or keep his nose clear. but then he got just too wobbly and his eyes were half shut. i made an appointment, but called that morning and said, “i just can’t”. made another appointment a couple of days later. he was still eating, loved his treats, but would just sit and stare into space. my vet is the best i’ve ever dealt with. i was able to hold him through the whole thing and was left alone with him for a while. i said good bye to everything we had done together. when i got home, i kept expecting him to be there, saw him wherever their was a dark object, and realized i couldn’t share what i was eating with him. it’s a week today. even though i have two other cats, i miss him so much. my vet just lost her dog, a lab. so she knew exactly where i was. i got very depressed and am just coming out of it. it’s very upsetting, losing a close friend. i still wish he were here. as Kate said, you wish they could live forever. . . 🌷🥀🐈⬛ 🐾 🌷
oh bless your heart...im sorry for your loss...i teared up when u said u got time to say goodbye to all the things you all did together and you looking forward to him being at home...sigh...if only they can live forever..but not even us humans live forever...when it is our time to go...it's time...Im sure he loved you very very much...though they dont "speak" animals have the purest way of showing how much they love and care for us. Take your loss one day at a time. ❤🕊🕊
Aww bless your heart, it's a incredibly hard thing to go through and I'm glad you had time with your baby, just know he is free of pain, frolicking about in paradise and will be there waiting for you when it's time to leave this earth. Again I'm so sorry, sending loads of love, healing hugs and prayers for you both 💜🐾🐾🐾🐾
I am so sorry for your loss.
I just had to put down my beloved Chesty (he’s my avatar pic). 15 1/2 lbs big loving male tabby. He was a stray who turned up at the house in the middle of a most severe Alaskan winter. He turned out to be very loving with me and the 4 other smaller cats. Such a grand sweet gent 😢
Poor darling I feel your pain. I lost a perfect smart boy ginger at 13 from brain cancer, 6 months after his brain surgery he died. 3 months after he passed, his brother pined himself to death too. 8 years later I still grieve. I have 2 more cats and a dog now. Seems you are the type of person who needs an animal support to take all your love out on. My advice? Get someone from rescue who is very different, so you can console yourself that you are helping an animal in need, and don’t expect everything to be like your previously departed best friend. Bless you through this tough time. Love from Melbourne Australia xx
Has anyone else noticed that the narrator kept calling Hooligan “he” when the family was calling Hooligan “her”
Yes it is SO annoying
What great timing for this episode!!
My senior kitty just had a P.U surgery done a few weeks ago. It’s such a scary thing!
Dr Kate is the perfect vet as well as a beautiful and compassionate woman..can't help but love her a little ❤
Very brave of you, Dr. Kate sharing your uncertainties especially when you know so much more than the usual Jane. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, 😂😂😷, I do trust Dr. Kate, for she is very aware of cats & how they operate with their behaviour..it is all on the cat's terms & not humans. They are moody and at times do not want anything to do with most humans until they want something. So, the waynI figure, 🤔😊, you must have been around cats that are very loving and calm..congrats. Thanks for sharing.🙋💃😷😷

Kate, never apologize for attachment to our pups. My daughter in law is still grieving after a year and a half of being put down due to inoperable brain tumor. Love you Bennie.
You never get over losing pet
So, so true! Each furbaby leaves their 🐾🐾 on our ❤️ and we still miss all the ones who've gone over the 🌈 bridge. As a kid, we had a beautiful long haired black cat (Casanova aka Cassy Cat) who was the sweetest loverboy kitty that was accidentally run over 50 years ago... I still miss him dearly ❤😔
Nice seeing Dr. Andrew Marchevsky again after a while!
I don't envy Kate. My own best friend had to be put to sleep recently. Coincidentally, he was 14 years old. I know that, in a lifetime of doing good things for him, Kate will know in her soul ♥when it is time for her to do one last good thing for her Bennie ♥❤💕.
I only know so well. When we started with cats, it's over 30 years ago, will I Know, when the time has come. I don't know how often I asked the vets. " you will know"
And we knew exactly.
6 weeks ago we had our beloved girl ROO put to sleep. It's always a tough decision. But it has to be done for your best friend. We didn't want her to suffer , we still miss her badly. She is now at peace, happy, young, healthy and she is with all our other cats and many more on the meadow behind the RAINBOWBRIDGE. We love you ,little ROO !!!♥️🐅♥️
I had to make that decision Friday 20th August. I'm heartbroken but it was best for my boy. He was only 11. She will most definitely know when it's time for her Bennie to go over 🌈. 💙💔
@@sasharussell7288 a big hug and let me wipe you tears out of your face . Only today I spoke to a man with his new dog. His last dog had to be put to sleep. I told him about our moggy ROO. She had to be put down to sleep 6 weeks ago and my tears were running down. While I am writing and thinking of our litte girl, just over 17 years, tears are filling up. I know, healing time takes very long.
I am with my thought by you and try to carry a bit of your sadness.
Take care.
ALL WILL BE WELL AGAIN.
@@karindickinson7993 This is Jeanne, who commented for Kate about her beautiful Bennie & knowing when to say goodbye. I loved your comment to her about giving her hugs & wiping her tears - so lovely & sweet 💖 & warm. I hope she receives our comments, because yours, & the others, were so healing. My Baby went to sleep a year ago, but this is the first time I've been able to talk or type about him without more than a few tears. It is folks like you, who are so brave & loving, ❤💕 can help us pass thru that dark Valley of grief & into an acceptance of losing those who have loved us so deeply & so boundlessly.
It just takes us time, some more than others, to heal & we do so at our own paces. I still expect to see him on his bed or walking to me. He is so dear to my ❤💙💜heart.
Dr. Kate, Bennie loves you beyond forever. ❤
@@jeannegallegos8410 thank you for your touching words. I love to comfort people, because I know only so well how it feels, loosing your best loved pet. Our ROO is the 5th cat which had to be put to sleep. I feel as if a corner of my heart had been torn out. Comforting people helps myself too.
Since my / our little girl has gone , before I go to bed, I sit outside and talk to her looking at all the stars.
I believe she listens to me. It calms me a little and I strongly believe, she receives my words.
ROO was a semi feral when we got her. I carried her close to my body in a kind of pouch to tame her. It had worked.
Something helps us: there are many people who suffer because of the loss of their pet.
We are not alone with our tears and thoughts , this might help a little.
We all take our own pace with the healing process.
Don't forget :
ALL WILL BE WELL AGAIN.
Time will come, where we can giggle about tiny things we have experienced with our beloved friend. Even a tear is permitted.
Another hug : ALL WILL BE WELL AGAIN.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you doctors for giving these critters more quality time.
Kate has been such a wonderful pet mom to Benny.

@@hypnotherapy69 mutilate cats?
@@hypnotherapy69 what do you mean
Marchevsky is back! Love to see him on Bondi shows. He's so good.
My heart goes out to Kate...she is one of my favorite Bondi Vet Doctors...she has such a strong connection to her beloved Benny!
She's not just a Bondi vet, she is the owner of it too and the specialist surgeon Andrew owns SASH
"I realize i have an abnormal attachment to my dog" ....same tho. completely also me.
Kate has a beautiful bond and relationship with Benny. We don't choose who we fall in love with it is a matter of spirit. Attachment is either healthy or unhealthy......this attachment is extremely healthy and appropriate.....clearly it is one of deep caring and respect. I really like this channel. I learn so much every time I watch. I truly appreciate the kindness and respect that is presented to both humans and other species. Great people and creatures.💖
I thought hooligan was a girl unless the narrator accidentally said that it’s a he
Yes, Hooligan is a girl but the narrator kept referring to her as "him".
Yes at first he said she needs urgent surgery and as the owner and her daughter took hooligan to sash he changed it to he is going to have surgery on his badly broken leg
At the home visit, Harry looked like he wanted to take Scott's face off - which would have been a loss for us all. 😾
So true... Total loss for us. Greetings to you from California
Kate reminds me to watch how my animals act with their old age, we have 1 12-13 year old dog, and 3 cats, one is 15, the other two are 18-20, all still doing well at the time of this comment, but its scary knowing whats to come and it just seems to happen so quickly sometimes
I'm so glad Harry's dad didn't balk about the surgery. I see so many men who freak out about even neutering because it's associated with their own parts. Whatever is best for a pet, is what's best. Even if it's something you wouldn't want done to yourself.
Especially since they play up the essentially homophobic male routine on this show. They make a big deal cringing and simpering about anything that touches an animal’s manhood in full view of the owners, which might backfire.
@@irontribeissues9104 What???
When I saw Benny, I double checked how long ago this video had been posted, and looks to me like Benny’s still got time to be loved by Kate and vice versa
Same!
I wish we had loving, caring Vets like they do!
I'm sure that most vets are loving and caring. However, the vets from Bondi seem to go to great length to build relationships with the humans and animals of their practice, each in their own distinct style. It is refreshing to see. I have a particular soft spot for Scott in London, Kate, Chris and Danni. All of their vets seem terrific. I remember a breeder and bording kennel owner who use to say that she got her dogs from Great Britain because the Brits were animal people. Aussis are from British origins, at least in the beginning. Could that be part of theirs ways which relects in their training? Just saying...
Same. Ours just want money and let my dog pass away 😭
@@doreenwhitehead4224 My origin is not from England, thank you. I wish people would stop saying that. I'm Aboriginal and we were here long before you people were in England. USA was a prison colony for England long before we were but most people don't bother to research that. It doesn't matter what country you're from, animal people are animal people, others aren't.
I think we do have some but I get what you are saying. These vets have gotten me to fall in love with all of Australia 🇦🇺!
@@pipsuki Most vets here are the same ay. Bondi Vet are very special people.
No thanks, would never even go to the USA. I'd get shot or attacked.
Did you notice that Benny (is that his name?) at 9:44 turned and looked straight at the camera as if to say, "did you catch all that?".
My dog is 14 & we’ve had her since 9 weeks old, I don’t know what I’m going to do when we lose her 💔 makes me feel sick thinking about it 😔
harry is such a beautiful cat. i wish i could pet him through my screen. he seems so sweet and so well-loved by his owner. bless his heart.
It must be so hard as vet to see your pet in pain and can't do anything about it.
I was attached to my rocky just like she is.. he was 16 and my very bff.. he is gone now and iam still missing him. Even tho I have a new baby .. my heart still misses him..☹💔👍🙂
My Little darling sheppie passed away 15 years ago I have since got a adorable little girl who has stolen my heart but you never forget your 1st love and my border collie sheppie was definitely that. Miss him so much I still cry at times but thank god he is not in pain any more. Sending my thoughts ❤
Oh Angie. I feel your pain-what worked for me when my cats died was to focus on all the lovely memories over the years. zHugs to you.
One of the best videos from this show. It shows the honestly of the lady vet owner of the big dog... and the considerations that pet owners have to think about for their elderly pets.
I didn't think it was within the realm of possibility to love another living thing as much as my children, then I rescued a mastiff cross from our local shelter last year! Byson has bought so much joy and chaos into our house.
I always use to say, "if I want an absolute brat that's not annoying and inconvenient, I will get a boxer". Dogs bring joy and loyalty and a willingness to eat whatever you make
Love this channel
I wanted to be first
Me too!
@@mudeye-ihavequitted.6083 hi 7 secs early
Dr Scott has the bluest eyes I have ever seen just like the summer sky ❤❤❤❤❤
What a good boy Harry is💖
A new episode with Dr. Marchevsky definitively made my day.
This last weekend we had to make the choice over quality or quantity. We chose quality and sadly had to put our 11 yrs old dog down. It was hard to say goodbye but it was the best choice for him we could make.
my boy had this done and he still acted like the boy he was after the surgery. The only difference is he wasnt in pain anymore.
Same with our boy! Sheriff Matthew, our best boy ever.
In my wife's opinion you are one heck of a wonderful person and pet owner.
Me too...love to watch them. Memes me wanna llmobe to Australia but then I think about the spiders....and nah!
Especially when they can get a bird!!😳
Dr Andrew is my absolute favorite❤️
I was worried about Kate with her beautiful pet and then it turns out it’s old age.🥰💗💗
The little terrier having to be away from his owners was emotional. Good thing that break was nice and clean. Couldn’t believe how he was put down and walked/trotted out of there!!🥰😊💗
The poor orange tabby cat was a case that I’ve never heard of before. I didn’t know that they could do that. Wow!! He seemed to be alright once it was done and over with.🥰💗💗
Those crocs though are something else. 😳😳
I admire your comment, I like to individually talk and comment (in real life) about different messages in a single conversation or related situation instead of just giving a general answer or miss out when there are mutliple topics. Very rare to see somebody communicate this way. Hope you have a great life ahead of you 😊
@@taurus12111 Thank you, you too!!😊
Ummm Dear Narrator, Hooligan is a girl…
Oh come on! If the cat thinks he is a boy, then he is a boy! Silly things said here!
Probably a stupid thing to say but I hope Hooligan's mommy doesn't feel terribly guilty. It was a playtime accident, it could have happened to anyone & unfortunately little dogs have little bones, sometimes it doesn't take much pressure at all for them to break. She's going to feel right as rain & be so happy once she's home.
“Harry” the cat had a moustache like his owner!
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ ❤️
My heart broke for Hooligan and her family. They were doing nothing wrong, just playing with her family and to end up so injured and in so much pain.
i love how doc kate loves benny. it got me in tears seeing him there. i hope nd pray he gets better nd is not in pain.
I love the way Bennie looks at Kate, pure LOVE and I pray Bennie stays as long as he can.
I hope to have my Lil Johnny for a very long time to come.
Am I the only one bothered by the narrator calling Hooligan a boy when everyone else was calling her a her?
Our pets have a great way of crawling into our hearts and never leave
Yeah they leave their paw prints on your heart forever 🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾❤
My granpa's dog collapsed because his back legs were weak. Unfortunately, his quality of life wasnt good and was put to sleep. At least he passed next to his best friend in his favourite place.
I loved Tim clapping his hands and yelling at the gators to behave themselves!
Who would even want to lose their pet that they had lived with and have built such a bond to it be taken away by old age or or problems tbh I don’t think anyone wants to be separated from their pets(/family members that are any type of animal/)
It goes without saying.
Dr. KATE, your dog is beautiful.
Kate I was so relieved when you didn’t find something horrible about your boy. I lost both of my beloved 16 year old Chihuahuas Badger and Cocoa Puff within this past year. I have MS and they’ve been with me 24/7. Especially these past 8 or more years as my disease progressed. Always had them with me. Contrary to a statement you made about having an abnormal attachment to your dog you can’t you just can’t. Do everything you can with him and for him because you will lose all reasoning. I’d end up calling my children and just asking did I give them their best life? Intellectually I know that but my heart isn’t there yet.
The realm of supportive medicine/therapy, whether you're talking chiro, acu or whatever, is shockingly poorly researched even in humans. I know of some cases of veterinary chiropractors administering therapy for racehorses, but it would be interesting to find out whether there's a significant benefit to these types of therapies for animals.
My ginger boy had a urine problem now he's a female
It’s not abnormal, it’s love.
Harry looks like a nice cat but can really hiss xd
It is amazing how well acupuncture works on animals as well as humans, just think if you can perform open heart surgery on a patient who is awake and able to respond while being worked on. Most important is the acupuncturist and how highly trained they are. Really love your show, keep up the great work.
That was wonderful what a sweet sweet doggie
Benny is well aware of how important he is to his mom and he fights to push for a little longer to be with her and make her happy. He knows that if he could live forever he would be there right by her side but knows clearly that his body is sadly declining but his will to live hasn’t yet. Animals are very keen about it and it’s proof of how lucky we are to have them.
I'm obsessed with this show and have been for like 5 years but the fact that they always have Royal Kanin or Hills in their office angers me.
I couldn't praise Andrew enough. He's my idea of the top vet!
❤️ He's great!
TH-cam requiring that these surgery videos be censored does a great injustice to learning
Harry has a little milk moustache x
Pretty sure I've seen Dr. Kate's dog episode...these last several uploads some of them were repeat
Not for me. Seeing for the first time.
@@barbaracholak5204 I had plenty of free time and watched every episode within a short time which is why I remember them
I’ve done everything for my lab pointer. He’s had many lipomas for many years he’s 16. When my husband left me he became very protective. Lays on the floor when I sleep. I guess I have an abnormal attachment to him like Kate. He’s developed a bleeding tumor on the joint of his fore leg. It is bleeding and he’s chews it. He now has trouble getting up steps and from a laying to a standing position. He has also become incontinent of stool. This has embarrassed him greatly. It’s time. Monday August 31st is his last day. It’s killing me. My heart is broken. This is the hardest decision I’ve ever made. He also has two elderly Shih tzu sisters who have never known life without him.
My dog lived her last years with acupuncture and did well. She’s no longer with me.
why did the narrator go from calling Hooligan a girl to calling her a "he" LOL
Well I now benny is an old dog you can still make him live with less pain so I would practice low impact exercise which is just swimming and underwater treadmill exercise this will help out his aging hips and joints
Benny died in April
@@Sabouma28 OH NO! Benny how did he die?
The time that God gives us with our furbabies is a blessing.
My heart goes out to Bennie and Kate, I have been watching your beloved relationship with Bennie. I'm so sorry for this situation. I'm praying for you both.
Kates worry for her lovely boy is one I absolutely understand. I’ve shared my life with dogs and without question this is always a concern with my elderly dogs. But the one thing I’ve learned is that they’ve always told me when they’re tired and ready to cross the bridge. Two years ago I had to face this very decision with my sweet boy, Hendrix, a lovely ESS who I was blessed to get to have in my life for 15 years. He’d been having the issues many elderly dogs do, complicated by the growth of a inoperable brain tumour that took his sight at 13. He adjusted amazingly well to the loss though, and much to our surprise, our big girl, a lab/great pyr cross decided she was his “seeing eye dog”. She stayed near him, gently guiding him away from obstacles and dangers whenever they’d be out running around on the farm. She watched over him til the very end.
Two days before he crossed he’d been running around happily, his usual cheerful self. Then one morning I went to let the dogs out for their morning wee, and he couldn’t get up - his back end had gone. I was able to get him up and outside, but a little later he refused his breakfast and then turned to look at me…and I knew. There’s a look that they do give us, if we pay attention. I had our vet out to see him, but after checking him over carefully, she agreed with my assessment. She helped him to cross as I cuddled him in my arms on our deck, with his best buddy Pudge laying beside him, out in the sunshine at our farm and surrounded by my husband and our other dogs. He was ready, and his crossing was very peaceful and everything I could have wanted for him.
I still miss him terribly, but at least I know I did my best to give him the best life possible, filled with love and we had lots of fun and adventures together along the way. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss, it’s hard to let them go even though you know it’s the best decision
@@samanthaclarke3422 oh bless you ❤️ Thank you. it’s never easy, no…but I honestly feel it’s often the kindest (and most difficult) yet the most loving choice we can give these beautiful little souls after all they give us. I truly believe that Dogs are the only creatures on earth that love us more than themselves. We are so lucky to have them 🥰
That sounds like such a lovely send off, what a lovely good bye. 💜💜
My 17 year old dog did well with accupuncture.
Naw... BENNY.. it warms my heart, he's such a doll.. Just like my Luna! She's 12, also has arthritis ( especially after a fracture 3 years ago..) and gets acupuncture ( also for light incontinence that started this year..) and hydrotherapy ❤️ stay strong lad.. Stick Arround some more!!
I love Dr Andrew! 🤗

Salutations 💌
Our first family dog Tyson lived to 17 and his gf Tasha was 18 years old when it was there time I still miss them both .... I've now got Two Chihuahuas Buddy and Bindi Piglets Dad and Daughter Rehomed Dog's and Buddy around 8 is aging so fast Bindi
Around 6 is still a Teenager and Bennington Shitzhu monsterdoglettes he's special needs he's now 4 years old
It’s always hard to see your pets get old 😪
My sweet Aussie is 12 years old and in great health, but I fear the day when I will have to say goodbye to him. I can't even imagine it. Waking up without him there to greet me, opening a chip bag and not hearing him come running, not cuddling with him on his bed before bedtime. Dogs don't live long enough. Neither do cats, horses, guinea pigs, ferrets...why can't everything live as long as a tortoise or a parrot!
This is a repeat. Again.
My lab had the same lameness problem old age, the cure was MSM lame horse leg medicine, safe, effective, and inexpensive. Recommended by a horse vet I am surprised they did not know about it. Side note I am old with bad legs, I take it too and so does everyone I recommend it to that tries it...
Irritating that the narrator keeps saying "he" when talking about a female dog.
So the white dog is around 98. Good he can walk,eat, see,hear. Accurepuncture, to me is a good way to test for nerve damage, but also to help stimulate it and help nerves and skin grow better. Ants are also in fact used in this. For skin and nerve,touch repair. As some not realize healthy leeches and healthy maggots are used in medacine. To help with blood clots and cleaning the body. As eating away infected, as they don't to healthy muscle,organs,skin.
Acupuncture? So much for real medicine. Its classified as quackery.

So many cats come into my clinic with urinary issues because their owners are feeding them crappy dry food. Wet canned food is better for them because cats are obligate carnivores. They get a majority of their moisture and nutrients from the prey they eat. Dry food dehydrates them and causes all kinds of health issues like obesity, diabetes, kidney stones, etc.
I have a 15 year old mini poodle , and his teeth are in bad shape , but I’m thinking he might not pull through an anesthetic to fix them. Any suggestions
16:40 I thought a face mask was to keep exhaled bacteria from being capable of reaching the surgery site. Or does she have a disconnected nasal passage that’s incapable of passing breaths.
It is so hard to know that the end of life is near for our precious fur babies. They tend to dig into our hearts and cement there. Thank you Dr Kate for doing everything you can for your sweet Benny. Nothing wrong with making that sweet boys life better.
i just imagine harry licking himself clean O-O and he would be like "where tf did it go"
