Tell Us What You Think

Pet parents have questions and in this episode of Tails of Truth, holistic veterinarian, Dr. Angie and veterinary nurse JoJo answer them unscripted and unfiltered.

From concerns about Cushing’s disease in dogs and whether herbal formulas like Four Marvels are enough, to navigating kidney disease in cats, picky eaters, and when to stop forcing prescription diets — this episode tackles the real-world questions pet parents are asking every day.

They also discuss:

• Whether calming medications like gabapentin and trazodone affect lab work
• What symptoms truly point to Cushing’s disease, and which diagnostics matter most
• Why senior cats lose weight even when blood work looks “normal”
• How to feed cats with kidney disease who refuse prescription food
• Fenbendazole as a trending treatment for cancer
• The emotionally charged topic of rabies vaccines, reactions, titers, and risk assessment

This is a non-shaming, deeply validating conversation that acknowledges uncertainty, honors pet parents’ instincts, and explains the why behind veterinary recommendations — without fear-mongering or dismissiveness.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just want someone to talk this through with me,” this episode is for you.

✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Not every trending treatment has evidence
• Cushing’s disease requires a full diagnostic picture
• Weight loss in senior cats can mean "something" even if blood work looks normal
• Fed is best for cats with kidney disease who refuse prescription diets
• Calming medications do not skew blood work, and often make vet visits safer
• Vaccine reactions aren’t always acknowledged and they deserve to be taken seriously
• Risk assessment matters when deciding on boosters, titers, or exemptions
