Dear Dr. Jeff, Meg just arrived home from the vet and they did an X-ray which shows that she has tumors in her chest. Hintza is not coughing or showing any signs of lung distress at the moment. The vet prescribed Rimadyl for inflammation although after doing research, we are discovering...

Thank you for the continued advice. Hintza is having up and down moments. We are taking her into the vet on Wednesday to have her examined. They are likely to suggest an anti-inflammatory. Could you remind us again which anti-inflammatories are milder and not likely to cause GI symptoms...

Thank you. She’s gotten arnica and is now able to stand on front leg to pee etc . We are doing healing touch. And laser soon. Thank you soooo much.

Dear Holistic friends. I’m in the truck on my way to a backpacking weekend. We just discovered that our dog Hintza after a three hour car drive could not step or stand on her front leg. I just gave her to my daughter to drive her back h ome to Baltimore. And my daughter is taking her...

Thank you, Dr. Christina. We'll keep looking closely. And follow up with these professionals.

Our 11 year old spayed female dog Hintza has some sort of itchy skin situation on her rump. At various times, she'll be jolted into intense bitting the area in order to relieve some sort of itchiness. Upon inspection, we find very pink skin and three to four small bb-sized raised areas. We...

We grow wheatgrass for us (juicing it in the morning with our regular juice routine) and for our dog. The cats munch on it sometimes too. We are able to buy soft wheat berries in the bulk section of our local healthy grocery store. Our current batch is kamut - just to try something new...

Dear Dr. Sara, Thank you for this information. It appears to be in her parotid gland area. Is there a way to understand if the osteosarcoma has spread? And where? I know about Xraying the lung - so far, there is no observable evidence of cancer in her lungs. But I recently read about doing...

Dear Friends. Our female dog, Hintza, 11 years old with an osteosarcoma diagnosis, has a bump in front of her R ear. She was restless last night and just came into my office and asked for acupuncture (I'm a people acupuncturist). I felt that her R side of her face was warmer than her L side...

Thank you for this help. We can get aloe immediately in town and will order the Vitalize Alimend and look into the fiber. Many of the ingredients of the fiber powder she gets fresh from our daily juicing so we might stick with that since she will eat it. Thanks so much, Dr. Jeff.

Update. Hintza slept well through the night. Before bed, we gave her nux vomica and phosphorus. We also gave her slippery elm herb capsules. And she ate some cooked chicken and rice with bone broth. And some Answers Raw Fermented Goats milk. This morning, she's had another dose of nux...

Dear Friends, I'm writing about our 11 year old female dog, who recently had a leg removed which was broken from an osteosarcoma tumor. She had her first dose of chemotherapy (doxorubicin) on Friday. She's done fairly well over the weekend until this morning when she vomited and then had red...

Dear Dr. Jeff, I'm sorry for the delay in responding. We brought Hintza home and are waiting on bone biopsy results to come back. There was no visible metastasis on the Xray of the Lungs. Hintza is 11 years old. She has had a persnickety belly and she has "arthritis." She has had periods...

Dear friends. We are waiting in our car at the vets right now. Our Hintza dog went lame last night. The vet suspects osteosarcoma - bone cancer. They are doing a chest X ray right now to determine if it has spread to the lungs. If so, they are recommending euthanasia. please...

Dear Friends, Our dog loves to take a ride in the car (VW station wagon - or 1994 little red truck). She's 40 pounds and 11 years old. How does one keep them safe? Some ideas are 1. Hammock for the back seat in station wagon 2. "car seat" for back seat in station wagon 3. "car seat"...
