An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Thank you for watching and sharing, it means a lot πŸ₯°
I'm sorry your cat is dealing with it, but glad you know so it can be managed as well as possible.
While I do dx CKD more frequently in older pets, I absolutely see it in young/middle aged ones as well so everyone should know what to look out for

Oh. I'm 100% more likely to remember the name of the animal over the client. It's not even a close call in my brain
December 30, 2025 at 3:32 AM
Oh yay! That makes me so happy! I hope the check-up brings all good news.

(Will I remember the name of any person I met today? No, absolutely not. Will I remember you have a cat that had I-131 for hyperT4 to my dying day? Yes. Yes, I will. πŸ˜†)

Your job is to figure out why Barbara is so upset and address it!
Working with a skilled strictly positive reinforcement trainer can help with desensitization and counter conditioning re: spending time in the kennel (which will help to reduce the baseline stresses for the dogs).
December 8, 2025 at 7:48 PM
but it's very common to combine trazodone with gabapentin for these situations. The dosing range for both is relatively large, so it's absolutely worth discussing a different dose for Barbara.
Lastly, punishment (via dog whistle sounds or anything else) is *completely* contraindicated. 3/
