Tonight: Get out of the vet ER with pet, wallet intact

Is it possible to get out of the veterinary ER with both your pet and your wallet intact? Veterinary critical care specialist, Pet Connection blogger, and tarantula evening gown-designer Dr. Tony Johnson says, “Yes,” and he’s ready to tell you how.

I’ll be interviewing him tonight at 9:30 PM Eastern/6:30 PM Pacific via the Animal Wise Radio Network for the second weekend of PetHobbyist.com’s Thirteenth Annual Chat Month. (Oh, and PetHobbyist is now ConnectedByPets.com, so don’t get confused!) He’ll be joining me at 9 PM Eastern Time/6 PM Pacific, right here.

He told me to remind you to bring your BeDazzlers, and well as your questions, which you’ll be able to ask if you join other listeners in our Auditorium chat room. If you don’t want to join the chat, you can listen to the interview on your browser or your mobile device — find out more  here.

You can also post your questions here before the interview, b ut I won’t be checking during; for that, you’ll want to go to the chat room.

Please listen in… Dr. Tony is, as we all keep saying and as his own posts prove, dangerously funny as well as, you know, smart and stuff.

“See” you there!
