Episode 30 – Stress and Disease with Dr Gaelle Joanny
 
This is SUCH a great episode packed with information for vets, vet nurses, pet care professionals and pet caregivers alike.
 
Listen as Dr Katrin chats with Dr Gaelle about 2 of the most common physical diseases caused or precipitated by stress - gastro-intestinal disease in dogs and cats and FIC (feline idiopathic cystitis) in cats.
We can see time and time again how physical and mental/emotional health are intertwined and these two presentations are perfect examples of this.
Dr Gaelle chats about some of the diets the Hill’s Pet Food has developed to help support both stress-related gastro-intestinal disease as well as FIC.
 
What you will learn in this episode:
1.      How stress affects physical health and vice versa.
2.      What you can do to treat or prevent stress-related GI disease with diets and probiotics.
3.      The pathophysiology of FIC in cats and how stress is a contributor in 75% of cases under the age of 10 years.
4.      How diets can contribute to the treatment and long-term management of FIC in cats.
