Feedback, stories and scenarios from all things wild and domestic, all things with paws, claws, talons, and beaks. You found a baby animal, now what? Nuisance animal or simply misunderstood? How to protect pets and strays from hot summers and frigid winters. How to help prevent the extinction of some species. Avian flu, lead toxicity, and other threats to animals... and sometimes you. Fielding phone calls as an RVT at a wildlife rehabilitation facility has been fascinating, to say the least, and it has helped carve this podcast, as has working at a small animal hospital. ------------------------ The information on this podcast is for general informational purposes and entertainment only.

    Ep.11 - Core Vaccines for Pets

    What vaccines are required by law for your pet? Which ones are considered "core vaccines" and which are "non-core" but also very important. At what age does my pet need vaccines? Can they go to the dog park or play with other dogs or cats?

    Ep.10 - Nuisance Animals Or Misunderstood

    What lurks in your basement or attic? Nuisance animal? Or, simply misunderstood critter? How to convince that animal to leave without calling pest control. What benefits do these animals bring to your community and the environment? Please note, opossums are not really blind. Their pupils are always dilated, so they are not great at seeing during daylight hours. This will make more sense when you listen to this episode. :) Photo by: Skyler Ewing UC Davis EPM study: https://equusmagazine.com/horse-care/prevent-epm-27658 Coyote America by Dan Flores: https://www.amazon.com/Coyote-America-Natural-Supernatural-History/dp/0465052991
