Vet Detective Mysteries
Dr. Jory Bocknek from Abbotsford Animal Hospital in Toronto joins Deborah Wolfe to talk about the worst dogs to face in an exam room, why breeds matter and don’t matter when accessing risks and how to deal with many common horrible skin and health issues faced by dogs and cats. Plus Dr. Jory tells us about the pets he’s been seeing lately and their emergencies and the outcomes. Sick pets getting well always makes us pet owners feel good but listening to the stories lets you inside the detective work that goes on in figuring out what the mystery cause might be each time a dog or cat comes limping or scratching into the clinic.
