Dr Michael Dym VMD discusses his expertise in what is referred to as Shelter Medicine, a small specialty that works with shelters and rescues. Among the challenges we discussed is the the medical "herd mentality" where all animals are treated the same medically rather than individual evaluations and treatment plans. New arrivals are treated with new vaccines, worming & dental treatments, "preventive" drugs and surgical procedures with prior diagnosis, testing or concern of past interventions.Pet Health Cafe' Radio Show is broadcast live at Wednesday's 8PM ET on W4HC - Health Cafe Live Network (www.w4hc.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).
