  • Veterinarian's Guide: Treating and Preventing Rattlesnake Bites in Dogs
    Dr. Hunt advises immediate veterinary care for rattlesnake bites, stressing the need to identify the snake type. She warns against home treatment and suggests prevention: avoid snake-prone areas, stay on busy trails, leash dogs, and train them with commands like "leave it." Quick action and awareness can save your pet's life.
  • Understanding Why Dogs Roll on Their Backs
    Dr. Hunt is ready to explain why dogs roll on their backs. Whether it's for comfort, play, or communication, this behavior is a fascinating aspect of canine life. "Do you have any specific questions, or just in general why do dogs roll on their backs?" she asks.
  • Understanding and Addressing Overgrooming in Cats
    Dr. Hunt explains that overgrooming in cats can be due to "flea allergy dermatitis, bladder or gastrointestinal pain, or rarely, psychological reasons." Effective treatment involves addressing the underlying medical cause. While a onesie may limit access to affected areas, it doesn't solve the root issue. Consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
