On this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, we’re joined by Dr. Lynda Loudon, an emergency veterinarian with over two decades of experience and a holistic approach to pet care, coupled with a strong commitment to education. Dr. Loudon joins Angela to address a common question from pet parents, when should you take your dog to the ER, and when can you provide aid at home? They explore common causes of emergency room visits, including issues like diarrhea, gut health, and situations where dogs may ingest toxic substances such as chocolate, grapes, or even your own stash of edibles. Together they also discuss the over-prescription of medications, including antibiotics, steroids, and NSAIDs, and how to ask your veterinarian important questions. Tune in for a comprehensive discussion that’s both informative and empowering for responsible pet care!
