Mostly cloudy, showers, thunderstorms, later on this afternoon and authentic. 72 degrees, tonight with the heavy shower or thunderstorm certainly possible as they come on through.

Paws takes in a lot of shelter dogs and adopts them out. They adopt out these animals. This is one im sure will have found a fine home by the time you see this. This is fluff. Fluff is our model. Doctor jerry geffen from boulevard animal hospital. You run a great practice people love you. They just love you on tv. I hear but all the time. I said stop talking about doctor geffen, i just cant stand it anymore. All of those compliments are just enough. Thank you. Blood tests, i looked at my dog and thought you look like you are losing weight. I was than the trying to. He just looked more skinny. He had a blood test done, he was fine. He is also almost 12 years old. It is fairly common. I expect when patients get older to lose weight. I tell my clients if you go to the nursing home and nine fiveyear old person they are usually in the 300pound. It is normal. You get break down processes. It doesnt mean you are not healthy. You lose weight. A lot of people, humans because they are vertebrae will shrink and lose height and it is completely normal. You can be healthy. It is probably healthy. Reason they are living longer is because they are not as heavy. If you are concerned get a blood test and would you suggest a full blood panel on every dog and cat when they go for their yearly checkup. If cost were not an issue that would be the thing to do. It is not too much every year. Not really, a year is seven years if you figure for a pet. It is a long period of time.

Endless itching, dogs and cats are hit by itching, appiwill is a new medicine. It is effective in, stopping i itching. It is not as expensive as the other drugs and it is not a cortisone medication which means there is no side effect you have to deal with the steroids. It seems to be very safe. Very effective. A lot more reasonably priced then some the of the other drugs that work well. And more effective because dogs are hit with this, does it stop the underlying reasons or just stops the symptom of scratching. It stops, no, they dont itch. It actually stops the itching. They dont feel that and therefore they leave themselves alone. New drug that is available midsummer on if not back ordered but again it is called appoquel. Okay. Dogs, real fast do we have time, dogs with warts. We have barely anytime. What do you do with a dog that is a virus that people could get. They are not contagious. If they are annoying the dog or annoying owner they can be removed. A lot of times they can bleed and be in the bad spot like near the eye and things like that. It is purely cosmetic. Leave it alone if it is not bothering you or your pet. Wharton a dog or a cat. Thanks so much for being with us, doctor geffen, same thing.
