He's scratching like he's auditioning for a heavy metal band, leaving red welts from his ears to his tail. 


Meanwhile, across the exam room, a golden retriever named Buddy is doing the twist—minus the fun—chewing at invisible itches at the base of his tail. 

Who invited these uninvited guests? 


Enter the world of ectoparasites: the external nasties that turn your cuddly companions into itchy zombies.


Join Gary and Sam for a scratch-and-sniff (kidding—don't actually sniff) adventure through identifying, testing, treating, and preventing these buggy bandits. Put on your scrubs and let’s get Kinda Medical.

Who hasn't been there? Pets and foreign bodies go together like peanut butter and... well, anything a curious critter can cram into their mouth. 


But fear not! Gary and Sam are diving into the wild world of swallowed socks, swallowed strings, and everything in between. They'll cover signs, suspicions, confirmations, and the procedures that vet techs like you handle every day. 


So grab your stethoscope and a sense of humor—let's get kinda medical about foreign bodies in pets.
