May 23 Episode 002: Bees, Oils and Litter Boxes

This episode of the podcast features Dr. Ashley Dewey and Dr. Neal Forman. They sit down with three topics brought to us by clients of ours (and some other people via social media). We tackled what can happen when your pet is stung by a bee. A major source of this question actually came from the photo above, of this puppy who got stung and gave a very obvious reaction of the puffy face you see here. What if this was your dog, and what can or should you do at home?

Speaking of what you can do at home, up next we talk about some home remedies, with a very specific discussion about the all too popular coconut oil. The doctors talk about some of what they have experienced with some of our own clients and how far you should put your faith in oils.

Finally, a topic geared to cat owners. We have had a lot of people ask us what they can do when their cats decide to "think outside the box" ... or rather, do their business outside of it. If you've got a perfectly good litter box in your house, why are they not using it? The doctors talk about some potential contributing factors and what you can do about some of these.

You can find us on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Periscope with our username @APCCvet. We are on Facebook as Alicia Pet Care Center. You can send any questions and topics you'd like us to discuss on a future episode to wecare@mypetsdr.com. Our hospital's website is www.mypetsdr.com and the podcast website is www.PetTalkPodcast.com.

Thanks for listening!

Timothy Wheaton

A part of the APCC team since September of 2013 as the Office Manager and Media Manager. His career previously had been steeped in the Title Insurance Industry for over a decade. He has managed staffs in multiple industries, locally and overseas. His marketing and social media skills were learned as he manages his own photography business. He created APCC’s Pet Talk Podcast as he developed a podcast of his own called Daddy Unscripted.

There is no coincidence in the shared last name. Tim is Dr. Wheaton's younger brother and has been around APCC and the staff since its inception. Life has come full-circle in that way, as Tim and his brother used to spend nearly every day during summers in their youth at their Dad's veterinary practice in Corona Del Mar. Dr. Wheaton was always the son destined to follow in their father's footsteps, while Tim was always the more creative-minded one of the two.

Tim and his wife have two kids of their own and two furry children (Rusty & Audrey), sibling cats adopted from The Pet Rescue Center in 2011.

Tim has been keeping you up to date with APCC happenings via social media – Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat & now officially via Podcast – with pictures, pet health tips, travel tips and ways to keep your fur-babies happy and healthy.
