Scrub a dub your dog, hot veterinary news and a manatee

Just a fast post from Orlando, where I’m heading home to San Francisco after a week at the massive North American Veterinary Conference.

I’ve got tons of news — a new treatment for feline asthma, 0ne of the most interesting shelter medicine presentations I’ve ever seen, updates on treating canine skin disease (and yes, I got the list of products that Dr. Fadok recommends that you were all asking me for!) — but it will have to wait for me to be home where I can sort through my notes. I’m literally writing this on my lap at the Orlando Airport.

In case you’re wondering what’s up with that photo, I spent hours looking for a stuffed manatee for my nephew Ronan, and I found one at the airport gift shop.

Oh, and my column on SFGate.com ran this morning — it’s a much longer exploration of using frequent bathing to treat canine skin disease. I think I answered some of the questions you all asked when I teased the topic in a recent blog post — check it out! And, you know, share it on Facebook and stuff — these geeky health topics never so as well as I think they should, and I honestly believe this information is going to help a lot of dogs!

The ‘killer app’ for canine itching and skin infections

“See” you all soon!
