Arthritis, Toenail Trimming, Drinking Too Much Water & Toxic Plants – Episode 18

Hey TVTP fans, welcome to episode 18 of your favourite Pets and Vets podcast! We start things off with some Chitty Chat Chat about the number of arthritic dogs and cats that Robbie is seeing, who are struggling with the cold Melbourne winter. Lewis laments over AFL retirements and getting ignored by supermodels. Robbie talks about his whippet Rosie who had a dental recently (videos to come!), and a bizarre experience with a bird flying through a car window at speed. And Lewis finds out some info about a possible treatment for Diabetes coming from Australia's own Franken-Duck! We rock into podcast proper, Lewis runs through the in's and out's of trimming nails, with tips to try and get the nails short, without hitting the bleedy sore bit of the quick. Robbie talks about Polydipsia, or drinking too much.
