Michele Forbes, DVM 🐶 🐱

I’m so sorry!! Has your dog been tested for the MDR1 gene?

Puppies!!! Mom delivered 2 earlier today and then labor stopped. Emergency C-section to save the remaining 2 pups. Do you know the breed?

This is such gaslighting it’s infuriating. That’s why it’s so upsetting. As if the answer is that simple. 🙄

It’s my duty to share my cute patients with you. How lucky am I to pour my heart and soul into these perfect creatures?

Who needs expensive cryotherapy when you can just step outside in Michigan today?! 🥶

IMPORTANT VETERINARY TIP:
Always two kittens
Never two puppies

…continued…Huk has 1 copy of the gene & had unusual side effects to Cerenia. Cerenia and Zofran are lesser known meds on the MDR1 list. Testing for the mutation is easy at prime.vetmed.wsu.edu
AND DON’T FORGET TO TEST CATS! Especially purebred cats.
Happy to report that Huk feels better today. ☺️

“White feet don’t treat” is a warning based on an old belief that dogs with white feet have severe side effects to certain meds.
The MDR1/ABCB1 gene mutation leads to a lack of p glycoprotein & causes certain meds to breach the blood brain barrier.
Dogs & CATS can have this mutation. Yes, CATS!

THIS!!!!

Can someone please tell me how we find topics here? I don’t see anyone using hashtags. What am I missing?

So glad to find you here!! Thank you for all that you do. We also embrace the Kraken.

I’m a TikTok lover for life and trying to explore other options now. This could be fun.

I love that you took a stand against Meta!! I’m using that platform to share how superior TikTok is. I’m glad we found each other here!

My cat DJ (isn’t he adorable) demonstrates that cats will sit on/in anything that resembles a box. Check out this study exploring this topic: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations! I’ll miss you both. This is adorable. 🥰

Hi I’m Dr. Forbes. I’m in exile from TikTok. I share my life as a veterinarian. I love to connect with pet parents. This is Pesto (the Lions fan) and Pop. She’s taking a break from the game to clean Pop’s ear. What teams do your pets cheer for?
