VLOG

If you were just told that your dog has a mass in the spleen, you need to watch this video. No, not every mass in the spleen is hemangiosarcoma. No, we cannot tell on ultrasound or at surgery what the mass is. So we need to go to surgery and wait for the biopsy. Dr Sue will review the double two-thirds rule for masses in the spleen for dogs. Dr Sue will give you tips on when we can be more suspicious it is hemangiosarcoma in your dog, and when it is less likely. And she will discuss some of the OTHER cancers and benign masses we see in the spleens of dogs. And in part 2 & 3 Dr Sue will discuss more on hemangiosarcoma symptoms, testing, treatment, and prognosis.

Your dog and cat’s gut health is so important. Dr Sue just traveled to the Hill’s Global Symposium in Toronto, Canada for a 2-day conference on the microbiome and she is going to tell you why you should care about your pet’s microbiome. (And what that is). And it matters for us people too!

These are her take-home messages:
1. All probiotics are not created equal
2. All prebiotics are not created equal
3. Some dogs and cats will need both

In this vlog she covers the all things microbiome including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, and fiber. Did you know our microbiome is shaped by whether we were born by C-section vs vaginal birth, breastfed vs bottle-fed, antibiotics we have been on, and our environment? Did you know our pets and we carry a unique microbiome and will have a similar one with our pets that we live with? How do we modulate so there are good bacteria and not bad bacteria? Our digestive health affects more than just our gut but all our well being, our mood, and there are connections with the health of the kidneys and brain too. That is what as a cancer specialist Dr Sue cares, and she thinks you should too.
