  1. I felt this video was very informative because you never really think anything is going to happen to your dog.
    Have you done a video on CPR yet that I may have missed being a new sub please?
    I have watched videos which say 30 chest compressions to 2 nasal breaths but I would prefer to watch your professional take on it please.

  2. Twice,I ran out to drag a large dog on to the sidewalk that had been hit by a car and not moving, worked in a Dr. Office and gave 1/8 of a cc of benadryl both times within a minute or two, dogs sprang awake 😅 found good homes.. love your channel..

  3. Tula amazes me. She is SO accommodating ! I had never seen you hold her upside down but Tula handled it like a trooper. She's very fortunate to live w/you . Thank you for educating us about some basic first aid skills. Those of us who haven't been thru veterinarian school have a disadvantage. That's why so many of us are very grateful to you for sharing your knowledge.

  4. I am so glad I found your channel. I'm a helicopter dog mom. I literally owe my life to my furry kids. I want them to have full, happy dog lives for as long as I get to have them around. One thing I don't see discussed very much is their mental health. People don't really think about them as being capable of having psychological issues. In rescue, I've personally witnessed and worked with a lot of dogs, including my own, who needed a little extra work to get through some things. I'm hoping to bring more awareness of it in hopes that people will learn to love them through whatever issues they might need help with. It's always worth it. Seeing them happy and carefree, just enjoying life, has brought joy back into mine. I never really knew what love was until they came into my life. We can learn so much from these amazing animals. Thank you again for all you do for them.

  5. This happened to me last week. My 13 yr old was vomiting. Meanwhile, my other 12 yr old had a mass cell on her paw that ruptured and was turned away twice from the emergency room. I was too busy trying to treat my other dog and lost attention of my 13 yr old. I took her to the emergency room to find out she had an inflamed spleen, she was anemic, had pockets of something on her pancreas, she wasn’t producing any new red blood cells, and the X-rays apparently showed spots like it was cancer. She was lifeless in my arms and made the worst decision to let her go. I’m torn to pieces. 😢

  6. Could you PLEASE give dosing measurements for smaller dogs and ages that you can give the home remedies to. I have a 17 yr old miniature Dachshund and he's at the point of declining lost body fat ect. I'm feeding him as much as he will eat but that's at a 1/2 to a 1/4 of what he used to eat. He's very cold so he's got a nice heating pad. He has developed a horrible ear infection nasty black yeast bad odor. I bought the cream Clotrimazole 1% but I don't know how much to dose him as you said you give a 20 lb dog a 1/4 help. I have him on Benadryl, Carprofin & Sulfameth 400 mg/Trimeth 80n now I'm out of this particular antibiotic tomorrow he will have gotten 4 doses of it. Then I have amoxicillin 250mg. Yes these are medication's from other dogs & my big rooster that had bumble foot. His eye was also infected. I'm putting Quadritop ointment in his eye for that everything is being given every 12 hours. He has improved drastically already. I'm also flushing his ear out with Kin &kind ear cleaner at one time and then Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Ear Therapy for Dogs and Cats. I am also flushing his eye with Vetericyn plus antimicrobial Ophthalmic gel before the Perscription eye ointment. Whew! He's really doing a 100% better than he was. I just thought that I could put the Clotrimazole in his ear to help kill the Yeast because it was very full. Any advice would be so so appreciated❣🥰 We Love You… my ZooCrew and I 😊

  7. Dr. Jones, what about the technique you once showed to push a lodged item out of the throat by applying pressure in an upward motion by using a long, stiff item (like a hard wooden dowel, the back of a blunt knife, etc.? I wish you could have included that in this video. I never saw anyone do that before. This method could be extremely helpful to gently push it out entirely or loosen it with the long stick from the outside of the neck. It can be used in conjunction with the Heimlich Maneuver or popped out entirely with the stick so you can feel the object from the outside of the throat. Maybe you can find that video demo and add a link in the description and comments? I think that’s a unique method that can potentially save a life.

    I wish I had known that specific method when my service e dog once was choking on a piece of dental chew he decided to swallow whole. I might have been able to pop it out faster from the outside of his neck rather than struggling to get it out for 1.5 minutes. It was lodged too deep to grab with my finger. I couldn’t even feel it. Luckily, he eventually was able to cough it up while I was pounding on the front and sides of his chest and trying to do the heimlich (I’m disabled and he a large Lab). I saw that video you made about a year after that scary incident happened.

    Please share the link to that video with everyone!

  8. Tula is so so precious!!! Good sport!!! Trusts you implicently!!! Amazing information..thank you Dr. Big huge hugs to Tula and you!! God bless..so grateful for you❤😊

  9. That sweet baby is SOOOOOooooo adorably patient. She just lets you mess with her every video and actually seems to enjoy it. I think she knows you're a vet and knows exactly what you're doing….. making videos to help us. She's an A+ Moviestar!

  10. I've had 2 beloved elderly pit mix dogs pass away over the last year.. neither was well enough for surgery and I was afraid to even put them through the stress of traveling.. when I took one of them to the vet her experience was not helpful as she couldn't walk after that.. her x-rays showed a terribly congested heart. Her gums were basically white.. the symptoms at home were shorter breaths, more panting and when I felt around the heart, the beat seemed irregular and sort of wheezing or fluid feel with each breath. I knew when she was this far along that it was likely better to keep her home from that point on. The medicine prescribed did not seem to help. My other elderly developed the same exact symptoms several months later I kept her comfy and gave her your suggestion of hawthorne berry leaves and omega 3s, red meat snacks, warm dry (indoor environment) she passed at home with her family near, lived to be 16❤ grateful for your videos❤
