And none of us like thousands, none of us had interactions, antibodies against toxo.

So they, they realize it's the warmer environments, um, uh, is much more of a problem, but like the South U S it is a concern.

Um, but it's not unusual for these parasites, viruses, bacteria, uh,

worms to change behavior.

Rabies does it.

Rabies makes the dog not afraid of people and more likely to bite, more aggressive.

And that is so it can spread the virus.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

And I mean, like the ant colony recognizes when the ant is infected with this mushroom growing out of its brain and they will pick up the ant and get it as far away as possible, knowing that, hey, you're dangerous to us.

So we got to be more like ants, I guess.

Yep.

So my disclaimer starting this off is, although I am a real for true veterinarian, almost, I think likely, um, I don't like this running gag.

Our treatment, our, our, our lessons, our training and behavior was very limited.

However, I have dealt with one of my own dogs named Snuggles, a little Shih Tzu, um,

And Snuggles bit one of my children.

And like your dog, Snuggles was only 10-ish pounds.

He didn't do any damage other than causing pain.

I actually had a behaviorist come into my house and I learned so much.

And Snuggles did very, very well.
