It's fascinating how Wendy had such deep empathy/emotions for the cats she was expected to euthanize, yet she could do all those things to a human body.
I have more sympathy for animals because they have no voice & most of the time, cannot help themselves. Animals can be what humans would consider mean, but they cannot hold a candle to the depths of depravity which can be invoked by humans.
Euthanizing for ringworm is ridiculous. However, the location may explain that lack of humane treatment. Ringworm is an extremely common issue on farms and in shelters. I adopted kittens from a shelter who showed signs of ringworm the next day. I took them to my vet and treated the fungal infection. That being said, its sad that people are so messed up that they act out on others.
Yes, easily transmissable but also very easily treated. I got ringworm from my sister's adopted kitten and we both healed just fine. No need to euthanize either of us.
Was going to comment the same thing. I fostered a litter of kittens who had...I don't know if "raging cases ringworm" is appropriate but it sure felt like it. They needed more than a few special baths to get rid of it. Ironically, they took so long to recover from ringworm that they were with my family as a bout of respiratory infections swept local shelters. There was a joke that my family had the only healthy kittens in a 20 mile radius.
I foster too, and have been a ringworm foster a few times. It's a total pain in the ass, but it's easy to do. Euthing for ringworm makes me extremely sad.
Yah I’m a veterinarian and I’ve been distracted the whole video wondering why the kittens were going to be euthanized for this…? 🤔 then I remembered it IS Texas… they probably didn’t have the resources to be bothered to treat (not just money, but the staff/volunteers/fosters, etc to care for them. Very sad situation all around. But I don’t blame her for refusing to euthanize them!

Wow. This lady had a lot of guts to expect her family to take the fall for her. The Chihuahua Defense is not a great defense. The Chewbacca Defense would probably work better than that.
I've tried using the, "diversionary chihuahua ",tactic 3 times and it always failed. I was going to use it again until i watched this video. Ty Dr for helping me avoid this mistake again. Tomorrow I'm going with the, "diversionary terrier" plan. Love your videos.
When she worked at the vet, they say she refused to euthanize kittens with ringworm. Feline ringworm is curable, so I don't understand why any of the infected cats needed to be euthanized.
I don't know. Maybe because they were kittens (i.e. less developed immune system) and were too far gone to save? Or maybe to prevent spreading the disease to other cats in the clinic? Given that her refusal led to 28 other cats having to be put down I'd say that at least the second one is true
In areas where there are too many kittens/puppies to find homes for, any condition that requires treatment is a reason to euthanize. That saves a healthy animal that would otherwise be killed. They already have to kill so many, they aren't going to pay for treatment when they may end up euthanizing them later anyway. I worked for a vet who would take humane society puppies with parvo and try to cure them. That gave the puppies a chance as well as helping him find treatments that worked so that he could offer them to clients if their dogs got it. The humane society would normally euthanize the puppies since it was a miserable illness that was usually fatal and was very hard to treat. My favorite dog was one of their saved parvo puppies. She was the only puppy that survived out of the litter of nine. I didn't know this because they didn't tell me until I started working there several months later. I didn't know why my puppy had no energy and could barely walk ten feet without sitting down to rest at first. But she was a sweetie, a great dog. Of course, once they accepted responsibility for the puppies, they had to find them homes if they survived. We had a dog, and "Just take her for the weekend and give her back if you don't want her..." LOL Sure, give people a puppy for the weekend and how often will they give the cute, soft bundle back?
The kittens probably had feline leukemia or feline aids. These are highly contagious and deadly viruses among kitties that devastate the immune system. The other cats were probably unvaccinated and had to be euthanized due to exposure to the sick kittens.
My goodness, what a cruel woman. We all know that there are horrible people in the world but it’s particularly tragic when they live under the same roof. I think you have a great point when you say that she must have felt threatened by the upcoming trip to Maine. Perhaps she realized that he would get support and different points of view about the marriage. Excellent review as usual, thank you so much Dr. Grande.❤️
@@ArtCurator2020 This is an interesting comment. I have to agree that many women with high profile careers can indeed be very entitled and self-centered. Some of them have terrible marriages and do treat their husbands in a very demeaning manner. I have seen a few cases and I feel very bad for husbands who are in this situation. There is very little sacrifice, empathy and kindness coming from some of these women, yet they feel entitled to such treatment. It’s very sad. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, being selfish and sometimes narcissistic is rewarding in many companies and people achieve great heights precisely due to these characteristics. Obviously, not every women with a high paying job display these qualities, I have seen many of them who are down to earth and kind as well. On another note, I love your profile picture and banner!💕

Morning Dr.G., You put it well-Wendi had a “lethal sense of entitlement.” Glad the fictitious “Weezy” was not harmed, nor any other animal in the making of this well-reasoned podcast. Thank you for another outstanding analysis.
Phew...as the proud owner of a couple of Chihuahuas, I am so relieved none were hurt during this murder! Excellent analysis Dr Grande. I found the statement 'lethal sense of entitlement' especially fitting in this case.
Veterinarian over here! I have never euthanized an animal because of ringworm. Nor would I ever, aside from being cruel, it is extraordinarily easy to treat... They were probably doing shelter medicine and had limited funds to treat diseases. But a bottle of lime sulfur is pennies on the dollar... I would not have euthanized those kittens. I would not have euthanized 28 cats for a simple ringworm infection. I can understand if it were a pathogenic infectious disease that would ultimately kill a cat, but not ringworm. My goodness, it's just fungus LOL
Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about what could be happening when a vet mistakes her husband for a chihuahua like this.
Her family hated Michael but they should've taken a good long look at their own evil spawn. I swear Dr. G sometimes your dark humor tells me not to laugh but most times I just can't help myself.
LOL!! I appreciate the " the Chihuahua alibi" part of this narrative! Yes, that wasn't a good alibi choice at all! Thank you for bringing humor to my day! I'm grateful to hear that no Chihuahuas were hurt in the making of this video!
I have so many problems with euthanasia for ringworm, but am not surprised! ALSO, a veterinary technician should never be DOING the euthanasia itself, that should ONLY be the actual veterinarian.
I happened to watch this episode on 20/20 by chance. I appreciate your coverage, Dr. Grande, as it filled in many blanks that weren’t covered by the TV episode. It seemed like mike was a great son and a brother who was very much loved by his family and a dedicated soldier. It’s so heartbreaking to know that he was murdered by the person who should’ve appreciated and loved him the most. What a great loss for his entire family including his own sons, friends, and country. He was killed by his wife twice. She should serve her lifetime in prison.
Ah, yes. The old blame the chihuahua trick. I must have seen it used hundreds of time, and it's only worked on a handful of occasions. The diversionary chihuahua is definitely a risky strategy. One should always consult the Chihuahua Civil Liberties Board (CCLB) before employing such a tactic. It's just common sense, you know?
Excellent video, Dr. Grande! Your analysis is always superb to hear and it is concise and accurate with no bias, just facts. It is a breath of fresh air. Cheers!
Dr Grande can you please give an analysis of Anthony Todt testimony when he got up and spoke at his own trial. It's a fascinating watch if you haven't seen it yet. His two hour confession to police changed when he got to court and he was just so weird and rude while testifying then he made a long plea to the judge before sentencing to the point where his lawyer at to tell him to wrap it up. Twice!
Hi Dr. Grande. Right on analysis once again. She didn't have the right attitude to stay out of trouble. If she were truly smart, she would've gotten a divorce and started her life over completely and gotten well first before she let her life spiral out of control. Have a good evening to you and your family, peace, Love, Janine Smiley😀🙂😎😍🤩
@@zenamen5221 it’s not a debate just an observation that Wendi’s estimation of human value was low due to murdering her husband and having abortions which is striking as compared to her value of animal life.
It is interesting that she would be willing to be fired for not euthanizing kittens but then was later thrown in jail for murder. Fascinating case, thank you for the video.
Ringworm is totally, easily curable. It's just a series of lym sulphur dips once a week for 4 - 6 weeks. The equivalent would be euthanizing humans who have a skin fungus such as Athlete's foot. The business of murdering innocent animals because they have curable, temporary ailments is repugnant.
Unless the kittens had feline leukemia or feline aids and developed ringworm as a secondary infection. Then it makes sense, and also makes sense that other cats exposed to the kittens were euthanized. Vaccinate your pets, folks!
I graduated in May of 2002 for college also. It is a strange feeling hearing these cases and hearing things like graduating during the same time as them.
I hadn't been watching this video. I was curious as it was in the notice list. When I clicked it it started over halfway as if I was watching it already. I wasn't and wonder does that happen to anyone else? Wow... after listening... it is incredible what some people will do.
Great analysis of the crime and the criminal, as always! Wendy certainly seems like a person full of contradiction- in thought as well as in action! Very glad to hear no chihuahuas were harmed in the making of this video! Thank you, again for your insights and humor!❤
Oddly enough, Wendy must have been extremely intelligent because becoming a veterinarian is not easy yet she seemed to have a critical lack of common sense.
Not defending this woman at all, she's evil BUT I couldn't imagine being told to euthanize a litter of kittens 💔 that's rough. Especially over ringworm. I think that's treatable
I'm a lifelong resident of Lubbock, and we usually know all the news stories that take place in Lubbock, Abilene and San Angelo as we're all considered basically the same region of Texas. I am shocked that I've never heard of this case 😳
I’m surprised the Doc didn’t bring up Wendy’s hypocrisy…getting all shocked, shaken and disturbed at the idea of euthanizing animals, which is a quite understandable and relatable sentiment…just seems off considering she didn’t seem to mind terminating her own offspring on multiple occasions.
Dr. Grande, Have you ever treated a patient with cynophobia? I am now self-confined to my house because of my absolute terror of and disgust for dogs. I don't understand why everyone is not repelled by them.
Thanks for another interesting case study and Wonderful Analysis from the ALWAYS enjoyable and DASHING Dr. Grande! 😉💖 Very vicious woman, I always just wonder what can make someone act in these ways, and have seemingly no remorse. Sad, perplexing, disturbing! I certainly have no remorse though for enjoying another excellent Dr. Grande video, and look forward to more, as always. Pure Excellence once again Dr. G- just Love and ADORE you and that Big, Beautiful, Brilliant Brain of yours!! 👍🥰🧠❤️🌵😉
Her narcissism and behavior is surprisingly alot like my exs'. Including how her family gave into her every whim. Given every opportunity to do good things. Even from prior mistakes. Never learning from it or turning it into something good.
I too once used the diversionary Chihuahua trick and it didn’t work for me either. I won’t try that one again. ✨🙏✨ Thank you Dr. Grande I needed that! So Grateful, Dennis
I knew she a bit bizarre with her pregnancy patterns alone before the whole murder went down 1st child:abort 2nd child:keeps it 3rd:abort rinse flat repeat
San Angelo is actually not a tiny town. It’s not huge but there’s an Air Force base there and it’s big enough to have 3 or 4 high schools. I know because I lived there in the 90s when my mother was in the Air Force.
"why she didn't pick a large animal like a cow?" well you don't euthanize cows with barbiturics, that's only for cats and dogs or other small pets, maybe she wasn't a large animal vet, she only treated small pets.
My sons were wrestlers in High School. Every year, I swear, there would be an outbreak of ringworm spread by the contact the sport entails. Luckily, none of the wrestlers were ever put down because of it.
I guess it's an understatement to suggest that Wendi Mae was more of an😼animal person than a people person! Just spit balling here but maybe don't live with two young children and a guy that gets on your nerves in a small one bedroom apartment when you are bat shit crazy and in the possession of euthanasia medication and a hypodermic needle. RIP poor Weesie the chihuahua. Good one Dr G.💙
Another clear, logical analysis of a completely murky murder. Thank you. But for as much as I understand the how of the murder, I don’t get the why. It’s a lot of stress just thinking about it all, why not find an easier, less incriminating way to feel better? Lethal force is so unmanageable and there are options - just sayin’.
There is a case where I live. A Lawyer has been charged with 'interfering with a body' after a local University Prof went missing, then was found in a plastic bin in a rental van. The Lawyer is out of prison right now. I suspect he'll eventually be charged with murder, but he is a Lawyer. He might get out of it. It's not rational to think they 'only hid the body'. The dead guy was a friend of the Lawyer.
Feline ringworm is a skin disease caused by a fungus and is not fatal. It is treatable. Because animal shelters have trouble finding homes for even healthy kittens and cats and because feline ringworm is contagious and can even spread to humans (where it is also treatable), shelters will euthanize the animals unless a suitable foster home can be found. However if these kittens did not come from a shelter but instead had a home, I find it very sad that the owners chose euthanasia rather than treatment. I watched the special on 20/20 about Wendy and Michael. Wendy is a very good liar, even after all the years that have passed she is still lying (in my opinion). But I still love listening to Dr. Grande’s videos.😊
She seems to get pregnant quite easily and then terminated some due to possible inconvenience. I wonder why she did not choose contraceptive until she ready.
Well, you don't kill kittens for ringworm nor roundworms. Both are treatable. Was the vet a creep? I had a kitten with roundworms and tapeworm. It was a feral kitten and she pooped out some of the worms and I gave medicine to get them all out. She was only 6 weeks. Ringworm responded to shampoo with grapefruit seed extract but maybe kittens were too young even for that and couldn't be isolated well enough to protect other animals. Wendy seems to have some form of PTSD or psychosis in my opinion.
The cats probably had viral feline aids or leukemia, which really weakens the immune system and is highly contagious among kitties. They euthanize these kitties to prevent the spread, especially if they get a secondary infection like ringworm that leaves open wounds. Euthanizing early is humane, especially if you cannot isolate the cat from other kitties for the rest of its life.
As a cat lover, I roll my eyes when I see so many people, you included, whose big take away from this video is the euthanasia of the cats instead of the sadistic woman who murdered her husband.
Great video as usual Dr. G! Check out the unsolved case of the murder of Barbara Hamburg from CT in 2010. It's the topic of the series Murder on Middle Beach on HBO made by her son.
Hi Dr. Grande....wow talk about cold. Gee I guess she didn't like him too much. She wasn't very smart. No planning on this one. I don't think people that commit murder should make parole . If someone gets 25 years and makes parole after 13 .. that's nothing. Thank you for your analysis and good looks 😎🌹🙋
Being that this is your most recent video I'd like you to consider researching the murder of David Jackson by Penelope Jackson. Residents of Somerset, England. Hilarious 911 call (not to some, I know, but if people can laugh at you then this tops anything you say, IMO) and when the police showed up at the crime scene. Not really wanting an analysis of what "could have happened" because she fully admitted her guilt but I want to hear your remarks and take on this. Thanks.
Not “ring worms “. Ringworm is a term for a simple fungal infection. Treated with over the counter athlete’s foot topical medication. She’s evil, but so is the vet that wanted to euthanize a litter of kittens for ringworm
Dr. Grande could you please discuss how not parenting your child becomes a factor in their criminal behaviors as well as lenient judges who slap the wrist of violent criminals and how that effects their future criminal behavior. Thank you!
Video suggestion: Joseph Newton Chandler, aka Robert Ivan Nichols... there is much speculation about this guy and why he did what he did. Could make for an interesting video.
It's fascinating how Wendy had such deep empathy/emotions for the cats she was expected to euthanize, yet she could do all those things to a human body.
I mean, she killed most of her own kids too.
It’s called a fetus, idiot
Animal lovers generally hold the creatures in higher regard than fellow humans. Pathological.
I have more sympathy for animals because they have no voice & most of the time, cannot help themselves. Animals can be what humans would consider mean, but they cannot hold a candle to the depths of depravity which can be invoked by humans.

@@tankthearc9875 during the synopsis it was said that in school she had very high grades and very poor social skills...
Book smart, no common sense.
Why would they euthanise kittens who have worms???? It's a treatable condition.
Despicable!
I can't go one day without a video from you please don't stop making them
Ah, yes. The old blame the chihuahua trick. I must have seen it used hundreds of time, and it's only worked on a handful of occasions. The diversionary chihuahua is definitely a risky strategy. One should always consult the Chihuahua Civil Liberties Board (CCLB) before employing such a tactic. It's just common sense, you know?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧
My chihuahua Tippy says call DFACS, Department of Family and Chihuahua Services.
Excellent video, Dr. Grande! Your analysis is always superb to hear and it is concise and accurate with no bias, just facts. It is a breath of fresh air. Cheers!
Dr Grande can you please give an analysis of Anthony Todt testimony when he got up and spoke at his own trial. It's a fascinating watch if you haven't seen it yet. His two hour confession to police changed when he got to court and he was just so weird and rude while testifying then he made a long plea to the judge before sentencing to the point where his lawyer at to tell him to wrap it up. Twice!
Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande! ❤️ My jaw literally fell several times at the actions of this horrible woman! 😳
Hi Dr. Grande. Right on analysis once again. She didn't have the right attitude to stay out of trouble. If she were truly smart, she would've gotten a divorce and started her life over completely and gotten well first before she let her life spiral out of control. Have a good evening to you and your family, peace, Love, Janine Smiley😀🙂😎😍🤩
Wendi gets pregnant, Wendi gets fired is the story of Wendi’s life.
she couldnt put down cats but her own baby no problem....
@@tankthearc9875 Getting an abortion is not at debate here.
@@zenamen5221 it’s not a debate just an observation that Wendi’s estimation of human value was low due to murdering her husband and having abortions which is striking as compared to her value of animal life.
What hdd happened to the first son did I miss something?
@@zenamen5221 you could say it was a sign she was reckless and selfish
It is interesting that she would be willing to be fired for not euthanizing kittens but then was later thrown in jail for murder.
Fascinating case, thank you for the video.
Ringworm is totally, easily curable. It's just a series of lym sulphur dips once a week for 4 - 6 weeks. The equivalent would be euthanizing humans who have a skin fungus such as Athlete's foot. The business of murdering innocent animals because they have curable, temporary ailments is repugnant.
You should see what she did to her unborn babies!
Unless the kittens had feline leukemia or feline aids and developed ringworm as a secondary infection. Then it makes sense, and also makes sense that other cats exposed to the kittens were euthanized. Vaccinate your pets, folks!
25 years for Murder 1st seems like a really light sentance given the circumstances.
Please do another update on Sherri Papini, because recently she admitted to making up those kidnappings.
Lying like a rug she was
What’s to update? Her guilt is beyond doubt, and nothing else has changed.
Alvin Buana - Dr G did do an update, only a few weeks ago.
Ringworm is treatable! Why were they killing the kittens? No, I haven't watched the video yet but WTF?!?
The kittens probably had FIV or something. Vaccinate your pets!
@@NextOfKim. FIV would not have infected 28 other cats which were then also killed for no apparent reason.
It's Texas
*WoW* in the thumbnail she REALLY looks like the character of Pam in "The Office" 😳
I thought so too!
I graduated in May of 2002 for college also.
It is a strange feeling hearing these cases and hearing things like graduating during the same time as them.
I hadn't been watching this video. I was curious as it was in the notice list. When I clicked it it started over halfway as if I was watching it already. I wasn't and wonder does that happen to anyone else?
Wow... after listening... it is incredible what some people will do.
Her eyes are intense.
Great analysis of the crime and the criminal, as always! Wendy certainly seems like a person full of contradiction- in thought as well as in action! Very glad to hear no chihuahuas were harmed in the making of this video! Thank you, again for your insights and humor!❤
I'm only one-third through this & I have a pertinent question .. Has Wendy never heard of 'birth control' ?? TgT
Oddly enough, Wendy must have been extremely intelligent because becoming a veterinarian is not easy yet she seemed to have a critical lack of common sense.
San Angelo Is a city of notable size. There's like 100,000 people there.
Please do a case analysis on Lou Pearlman
Not defending this woman at all, she's evil BUT I couldn't imagine being told to euthanize a litter of kittens 💔 that's rough. Especially over ringworm. I think that's treatable
I have doubts that ring worm was the culprit, but I will gladly take that over the truth lol
It's not pleasant, but then why work at a vet clinic if you can't do it?
@@Preservestlandry yeah I feel like that must be a big part of vet school..?
@@Preservestlandry most people don’t get into vet med so they can euthanize animals for no good reason.
Sounds like she used this as an excuse, the woman was unhinged clearly
I thought it was Pam from the office for a second!
Wow she reminds me of past horrible experience with toxic woman! Ty Dr Grande for your realism!
I'm a lifelong resident of Lubbock, and we usually know all the news stories that take place in Lubbock, Abilene and San Angelo as we're all considered basically the same region of Texas. I am shocked that I've never heard of this case 😳
Occasionally runs on ID channel
Is the answer ever, "No, I can't analyze that case. Sorry."
It'd be a short video.
I love your humor Dr. Grande! You are also very informative!
I’m surprised the Doc didn’t bring up Wendy’s hypocrisy…getting all shocked, shaken and disturbed at the idea of euthanizing animals, which is a quite understandable and relatable sentiment…just seems off considering she didn’t seem to mind terminating her own offspring on multiple occasions.
Sounds like she was able to relate and interact with animals better than people.
Dr. Grande, Have you ever treated a patient with cynophobia? I am now self-confined to my house because of my absolute terror of and disgust for dogs. I don't understand why everyone is not repelled by them.
Thanks for another interesting case study and Wonderful Analysis from the ALWAYS enjoyable and DASHING Dr. Grande! 😉💖 Very vicious woman, I always just wonder what can make someone act in these ways, and have seemingly no remorse. Sad, perplexing, disturbing! I certainly have no remorse though for enjoying another excellent Dr. Grande video, and look forward to more, as always. Pure Excellence once again Dr. G- just Love and ADORE you and that Big, Beautiful, Brilliant Brain of yours!! 👍🥰🧠❤️🌵😉
Excellent analysis as always Dr Grande. Greetings from South Africa
This lady was smart enough to finish second in her class but not smart enough to figure out how one gets pregnant.
“Hello this is Doctor Grande” really got my puppy’s attention today 🐕 🤷🏻♀️.
Ahhhh.... the old "blame the chihuahua trick"...... you'd think people would have caught on by now that this doesn't work. 🤣🤣🤣
Her narcissism and behavior is surprisingly alot like my exs'. Including how her family gave into her every whim. Given every opportunity to do good things. Even from prior mistakes. Never learning from it or turning it into something good.
I too once used the diversionary Chihuahua trick and it didn’t work for me either. I won’t try that one again. ✨🙏✨ Thank you Dr. Grande I needed that! So Grateful, Dennis
Why the hell would people euthanize kittens because of ringworm??????
Omg Dr. Grande!!! I live in Abilene Texas thanks for all your videos.
Always interesting.
Yeah, Michael didn't have a chance.
They hated them.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
I knew she a bit bizarre with her pregnancy patterns alone before the whole murder went down 1st child:abort 2nd child:keeps it 3rd:abort rinse flat repeat
Diversionary Chihuahua is going to be the name of my new punk band.
San Angelo is actually not a tiny town. It’s not huge but there’s an Air Force base there and it’s big enough to have 3 or 4 high schools. I know because I lived there in the 90s when my mother was in the Air Force.
FYI.... You don't have to kill cats who have ringworm. It's very treatable. I'm surprised the vet thought that was the only answer.
Wendy became hysterical about euthanizing sick kittens, but was willing to murder 2 babies & a man.
"why she didn't pick a large animal like a cow?" well you don't euthanize cows with barbiturics, that's only for cats and dogs or other small pets, maybe she wasn't a large animal vet, she only treated small pets.
Scary!!! My goodness to be so entitled!!! Great job Doc!!!
My sons were wrestlers in High School. Every year, I swear, there would be an outbreak of ringworm spread by the contact the sport entails. Luckily, none of the wrestlers were ever put down because of it.
Do the worms suddenly shoot out of one wrestler's anus and up another? How does it work?
😂
I guess it's an understatement to suggest that Wendi Mae was more of an😼animal person than a people person! Just spit balling here but maybe don't live with two young children and a guy that gets on your nerves in a small one bedroom apartment when you are bat shit crazy and in the possession of euthanasia medication and a hypodermic needle. RIP poor Weesie the chihuahua. Good one Dr G.💙
Crazy eyebrows. Pull em out, draw em back. Perfect.
Another clear, logical analysis of a completely murky murder. Thank you. But for as much as I understand the how of the murder, I don’t get the why. It’s a lot of stress just thinking about it all, why not find an easier, less incriminating way to feel better? Lethal force is so unmanageable and there are options - just sayin’.
Is diverginary even a word Todd?!? Lol the chihuahua
There is a case where I live. A Lawyer has been charged with 'interfering with a body' after a local University Prof went missing, then was found in a plastic bin in a rental van. The Lawyer is out of prison right now. I suspect he'll eventually be charged with murder, but he is a Lawyer. He might get out of it. It's not rational to think they 'only hid the body'. The dead guy was a friend of the Lawyer.
Kamloops. Very sad.
@@jewelianwest2324 Its bizarre. Wonder if we will ever find out the real story.
Feline ringworm is a skin disease caused by a fungus and is not fatal. It is treatable. Because animal shelters have trouble finding homes for even healthy kittens and cats and because feline ringworm is contagious and can even spread to humans (where it is also treatable), shelters will euthanize the animals unless a suitable foster home can be found. However if these kittens did not come from a shelter but instead had a home, I find it very sad that the owners chose euthanasia rather than treatment.
I watched the special on 20/20 about Wendy and Michael. Wendy is a very good liar, even after all the years that have passed she is still lying (in my opinion). But I still love listening to Dr. Grande’s videos.😊
Thanks for this information
You have me cracking up spontaneously at the most unexpected times in these sad crazy tales. 👍🏽
Dr Grande, can you analyze the case of Johnny Deep and Amber Heard? Thanks for your detailed analysis.
Brilliant analysis and topic as always. Thank you so much Dr Grande.
She seems to get pregnant quite easily and then terminated some due to possible inconvenience. I wonder why she did not choose contraceptive until she ready.
Well, you don't kill kittens for ringworm nor roundworms. Both are treatable. Was the vet a creep? I had a kitten with roundworms and tapeworm. It was a feral kitten and she pooped out some of the worms and I gave medicine to get them all out. She was only 6 weeks. Ringworm responded to shampoo with grapefruit seed extract but maybe kittens were too young even for that and couldn't be isolated well enough to protect other animals. Wendy seems to have some form of PTSD or psychosis in my opinion.
PTSD from...... what? Her casual serial-breeding?
The cats probably had viral feline aids or leukemia, which really weakens the immune system and is highly contagious among kitties. They euthanize these kitties to prevent the spread, especially if they get a secondary infection like ringworm that leaves open wounds. Euthanizing early is humane, especially if you cannot isolate the cat from other kitties for the rest of its life.
As a cat lover, I roll my eyes when I see so many people, you included, whose big take away from this video is the euthanasia of the cats instead of the sadistic woman who murdered her husband.
My ptsd never made me do something like this
Great video as usual Dr. G! Check out the unsolved case of the murder of Barbara Hamburg from CT in 2010. It's the topic of the series Murder on Middle Beach on HBO made by her son.
The diversionary chihuahua is never a good choice 😂😂😂 I love my Friday night Dr. G binges!!!
"The old "Blame the Chihuahua" trick! Lol!! You're just too much, Dr G
Very clever today Doc. That "lethal entitlement" grab fits well into a murder novel, past and present. Love ya🐈🐾
Best one yet!
Hi Dr. Grande....wow talk about cold. Gee I guess she didn't like him too much. She wasn't very smart. No planning on this one. I don't think people that commit murder should make parole . If someone gets 25 years and makes parole after 13 .. that's nothing. Thank you for your analysis and good looks 😎🌹🙋
Being that this is your most recent video I'd like you to consider researching the murder of David Jackson by Penelope Jackson. Residents of Somerset, England. Hilarious 911 call (not to some, I know, but if people can laugh at you then this tops anything you say, IMO) and when the police showed up at the crime scene. Not really wanting an analysis of what "could have happened" because she fully admitted her guilt but I want to hear your remarks and take on this. Thanks.
Sounds intriguing
@@fpfp2196 Google the crime just to listen to the 911 call and what she said when the paramedics arrived.
Not “ring worms “. Ringworm is a term for a simple fungal infection. Treated with over the counter athlete’s foot topical medication. She’s evil, but so is the vet that wanted to euthanize a litter of kittens for ringworm
I was JUST going to comment this exact info
Dr. Grande, could you please analyze "Conan the Barbarian", the titular character of the 1982 feature film?
Everyone knows that "diversionary Chihuahua's" are really Lizard Alien Humanoids...snicker, great story well analyzed ❤️👽❤
Can you analyze the case of Donald Crowhurst? Famous for the 1968 round the world yacht race.
Scary, she was born on my birthday.
Everytime I hear these stories I wonder why its so difficult for people to just break up and move on 🤷🏾♂️
Dr. Grande could you please discuss how not parenting your child becomes a factor in their criminal behaviors as well as lenient judges who slap the wrist of violent criminals and how that effects their future criminal behavior. Thank you!
“ the diversionary chihuahua is rarely a good choice” 😂😂😂😂
Some extraordinary sickness in Wendy, well beyond anything I can imagine.
Video suggestion: Joseph Newton Chandler, aka Robert Ivan Nichols... there is much speculation about this guy and why he did what he did. Could make for an interesting video.
