 RESCUE SHELTER OF THE WEEK

A Sanctuary for Farm Animals of all Types!

 

Annette Fisher of Happy Trails Farm in Ravenna Ohio helps farm animals of all types that have been removed from abuse or neglect situations all over the country. They have adopted out animals as far away as California and network with many other farm rescues across the country. From Sheep, Goats, Pot Belly pigs, to Cows and Horses they are doing a very difficult job and making it look easy. Housing, feeding, and caring for these animals is a daily concern and we can help! They have programs that you can join to help, you can even adopt if you have the room so check them out! Also, they are getting ready for a big 10th anniversary celebration so check out the web site and  maybe take a road trip and take the kids to see the animals!

VET TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Vet to the Stars!

Dr. Patric Mahaney joins us to discuss hypersensitivity to bee stings and the possibility that a severe reaction to a sting could really hurt and even cause your pet to die if not looked after as soon as possible. Listen in to find out what some of the symptoms are and some of the things you should have on hand in case of an emergency!
