Episode 108- Questions for a hunting dog veterinarian
Travis...I most recently enjoyed listening to your interview with Dr. Brekke. I was interested to hear his opinion on whether it’s prudent to feed your dog before a hunt. I personally don’t feed my Britt before hunting but have also heard differences of opinions from other hunters. I was glad to hear that a small about of dry kibble and Gatorade is fine. Years ago, I had experienced a frightening situation after a grouse and woodcock hunt when my Brittany started to shake in a seizure and was glassy eyed. I quickly learned from other hunters that he was hypoglycemic and to immediately get sugar in him! Fortunately I had some soft caramel candy(“Cow Tail”) that dramatically improved my dog’s condition. After placing the white sugar in his mouth, my dog suddenly started licking and recovered without any complications. This is something that all bird dog owners should educated about. I never want to experience this again. I’ve heard that some hunters stay prepared by carrying sugar packets, honey capsules and even cake icing in their vest.
