Vet Case study. PART 1/2 video.
Mrs Wellington lived in Mumbai, India.
She consulted the vet as her 8-year-old male Basset Hound was furiously and frequently licking his right fore paw for many days.
The vet did three blood collections from the dog and sent them to the laboratory for tests of the lipid, liver and kidney functions and complete blood count. He treated the infected paw. He also said to Mrs Wellington that her dog might or could have diabetes and prostate cancer.
Mrs Wellington was glad that her dog recovered fully from the paw infection. She was very worried as Harold was family. Part 1/2 showed the paw infection consultation and recovery. Part 2/2 will be in another short video.

Vet Case study. PART 2/2 video.
"Why did you seek veterinary consultation for Harold?” I asked. “He had a swollen left fore paw,” Mrs Wellington loves her long-eared Hound like her son. “He had been licking it frequently till it bleeds. However, his paw is much more normal after veterinary treatment!”.
"Your vet's three laboratory reports showed that your dog had high cholesterol level, no liver and kidney diseases and no blood infection from the bacterial infection in the paw," I told her. "They do not help him to diagnose diabetes and prostate cancer in your dog."
"Your vet needs to practise evidence-based medicine. He must produce laboratory evidence to substantiate his diabetes and prostate cancer diagnosis.".
"I agree with you," Mrs Wellington replied. "Is the vet hoping to make more money for his practice?" I could see Mrs Wellington's eyebrows raised upwards in the video-call. "Prices of goods and services have shot up after the U.S-Israeli-Iran war in March 2026!”
"Diagnosis needs medical evidence. Evidence needs preparation," I told her. "Please seek a second opinion from another practice".
