Dr. Nancy Kay
Dr. Nancy KayDr. Nancy Kay is a great freind of the My Buddy Butch Show and she has been with us in the past for a few shows sharing tips from her book “Speaking for Spot.” This is a great one stop shop for information on how to take the best care of your dog and how to work with your Veterinarian for your pets benenfit. I keep this book handy and it has answered many questions I had while taking care of Butch in the last year! Great for new and expert dog parents alike. Dr. Nancy joined us to talk about her first hand experience with puppy mills. Often a sad ending and heartbreaking experience, as a Veterinarian, Dr. Nancy sees too much of this going on and she shares a story of a sweet little Boston Terrier that had to be put down because of a genetic defect that just could not be repaired by surgery. If you are planning on a new furry addition to your family you should listen to this conversation!

Award-winning author Connie Gotsch’s novel, Belle’s Star is written from a dog’s point of view. The story follows Belle, a young dog who has never met a kind human, as she is rescued by a young girl named Darcy. Belle is terrified, but other dogs and a cat teach Belle about trust, and she learns how to face the painful issues around her.
It was great to speak with Connie about this book because it centers around a theme that can help kids deal with abuse and perhaps teach them to trust and that not all people are cruel. It also can teach them how to care for another person and even a pet!

VET TOPIC OF THE WEEK
Vet to the Stars!
This week Dr. Patrick talks to us about “Bedroom Safety for your pet!” Really… what possibly could be a problem in my bedroom? Well, Dr. Patrick has seen many instances where things laying around the bedroom have ended up in pet’s stomach. Listen in on what he has pulled out of a pet stomach you won’t believe it!
Also last week Dr. Patrick gave us a first hand look at a pet that suffered burns and how he is treating it. He has provided pictures but be warned they are graphic. Budda is a sweet little French Bulldog that suffered burns and is now going through treatments to help him heal. I wanted to keep this up again this week because it is important to keep your pet from under your car…and this is one of many reasons why!
