Getting a 2nd opinion is ALWAYS a good idea. Getting a 2nd opinion from Dr. Kay is an excellent idea. When my clients ask me who to use as their vet I am reluctant to say. That said for routine visits I would go with recommendations for sure from family and friends. IF it is something serious I would get all the info from my vet and send it all to Dr. Kay. I have spoken with Dr. Kay many times about my animals and referred my clients to her and even via email they are so glad they did. She is frank, to the point and very loving.

I might ad that Skyping is also a wonderful way to do consultations. I Skype with clients all over the country in my training and it works wonders for the dog and the owners.

Thanks again Dr. Nancy for putting yourself out there in this way for all of us who loves our dogs so much.

Happy Spring,

I think the consultation concept idea is absolutely great – I am very supportive of anything that helps pet owners navigate the increasingly complex world of animal healthcare. Your caveat that nothing can substitute for a physical exam is wise, but there is still a wealth of information and insight that pet owners can gain from talking with someone who has the time, patience and knowledge to help navigate through complex medical issues. There is so much plain bad information out there that having someone like you as a tour guide could be literally lifesaving!

How wonderful that you will offer consultations! That would have been so helpful for our beloved Maggie whom we recently lost to congestive heart failure. We have a newly adopted dog now, Esme (short for Esmeralda), who is currently young and healthy. But it is so great to know we can call on you if and when that changes!

Yes, I would enjoy more quizzes like this one. It was a learning experience … what “I thought I knew” v. what is true. Keep’m coming.

Peggy, you mentioned a dog afraid of males. I would crate the dog with someone she trusts in the room. If the dog has a favorite treat, have a male visitor come, interact with the person she trusts, then try to give the dog a high value treat, such as dehydrated beef liver. We make these and use it to make dogs happy, most love it.

If the dog will not take it from the male, have him lay it down where the dog can reach it and leave, as a start.

DogStarDaily.com has a lot of information including a library of free online videos.
