UM Lecture

The UM lecture was interesting, but definitely geared more towards vets than pet owners. I did pick up a few valuable tips though, mostly from the holistic presenter, and one very important one from the cardiologist vet. What I learned is that it's incredibly hard to detect heartworms in cats, mainly because they tend to only get a couple of worms instead of hundreds like dogs, and in a city that prides itself on its mosquito population it's imperative to arm your pets against it. One mosquito is all it takes for a pretty devastating condition to take effect, and just one simple dose of Revolution a month to stop it.

In regards to the holistic presenter, the moral of the story is "the better you feed your pet, the healthier it's going to be". Makes a lot of sense to me!!
