Welcome to Holistic Actions, Jennifer. Be sure to check the welcome video to learn all the resources available. maybe download the Healthy Dog Journal to best track the different symptoms. Let me know if the instructions are clear for the assembly. And to be clear, when Dr. Jeff mentions...

Sabine, No need to have a homeopathic vet who is local. Go to www.theAVH.org to see if maybe there is one. If not, as a member, you can become a client of Dr. Jeff - virtually. Also, you can hear even more from Anitra at Smart Pet Talk TV on You tube - lots of other fun speakers, many of whom...

Russel, since last you wrote to us, my daughter adopted a cat whose name is Kipper, and my husband shared that his first dog was a Kipper! At 16 -17, hyperthyroidism is definitely possible, along with other possible problems, so I agree with Dr. Jeff. Also, because of the ear and something...

You are doing great, and he is responding, with your love and attention. Definitely dig in to find your virtual homeopath or holistic healer. You call with Dr. Jeff will be supportive, for sure and you need either him or another veterinarian to be prescribing. We have seen heart problems, even...

Visit and ask to hang out with him even just by the cage. Talk to him about all the fun things in life past and present. must run, Dr. Christina

How devastating for you, Katie. Sudden onset can be very challenging. Most importantly, while you are setting plans and next steps, is to be super positive, imagine total health restored. Especially help your daughter interact as if nothing is wrong with Sebby. Please read and listen to our...

Just have a quick minute, Joanne. This is great: I should note we are giving Kiki lots of love and pets and are about to break out the snuffle mat again to see if that stimulates her appetite. I would do even more with sniff walks and any kind of stimulation that brings her joy. Laughter yoga...

I second Dr. Jeff's suggestions. Since the vet did not find anything, an animal intuitive (many have spoken here) may be able to clue in why lack of appetite, vomiting and head shaking. Has he lost weight since the dental? When not nauseous will he readily drink broth, or eat soft food, but...

Super good news, Christine This is a great example of one of the 4 Ps - patience. Even though Sammy's BEAM was down with the vomiting and not eating, you trusted your gut and did not go to the ER. He seems well on the road to recovery. Unless an animal intuitive could discover why his GIT was...

You are welcome. About her being an anxious kitty - keep really working on that. It is possible, with a variety of approaches (some are in the Brain and Behavior module in the library) and a LOT of patience, homeopathy, and maybe a consult with Anitra Frazier or others to have her tolerate...

You need to do what you feel comfortable with. However, a foam earplug will not show up on an X-ray, nor can a veterinarian palpate it. If you are a client of Dr. Jeff (not merely an HA! member), try to chat with him before an ER visit. There is no one right answer, ever. Even at the ER...

Ah, that is great added information, Caroline. Possible ingestion - 10PM Tues Wed - ate OK? BEAM ok? No vomit. Thursday - Ate breakfast, then vomited 2 hours later. First step would be to PM Dr. Jeff, since she is a patient of his and has gotten treatment. A foam ear plug, in my experience...

Sharing successes is so important. May many of you share here of how intention, kindness, love, happiness made the difference. Dr. Christina

Yes, Daysha, mushrooms - fresh/cooked, powdered, in capsules - are as great for cats and dogs as for humans. Different mushrooms do have different effects on the body, so a variety is always good. A search here in the forum gave lots of queries on mushrooms - one is Mushrooms for cats Wonderful...

yes, Myokyo, they do eat kidneys. So great that you post these questions for all to learn from. Dogs, just like us, do have preferences and aversions - to texture & smell. Note this in the journal if she continues to not like kidneys. Dr. Christina
