    Dental cleaning for a senior dog

    Update: Pumpkin's dental went well. They also removed a black mole on him, biopsied it, and it came back non-cancerous ? He took Arnica 1M in lieu of conventional pain medication. He has some arthritic symptoms that I want to tackle next. Limping, difficulty jumping, etc. I'm giving him...

    Complications after starting raw

    I'm a bit confused by all the different energy medicine modalities. I already do acupressure, a little bit of Jin Shin Jyustu, flower essences, and crystal healing on him, and he's received Emotion Code before. I guess I'm wondering if I should learn Emotion/Body Code (because family members...

    Complications after starting raw

    Thank you, Dr. Christina. I am working with Dr. Christine Barrett. We started a few weeks ago.. Pumpkin is a good dog, but to be honest, I get tired of him following me around so much! ☺I love him but I'm wondering if I'm more or a cat person! Maybe some of the velcro-ness is due to the...

    His creatine was normal ? She didn't mention the USG, and a urine test was done. <Shakes head>

    Dental cleaning for a senior dog

    We're moving forward with the dental. His bloodwork was good enough that the vet felt comfortable. She did say he might have early-stage kidney disease, though ("might" because the sample was "potentially diluted", and he questions whether it's really the "high-meat diet" that may be causing...

    Complications after starting raw

    I switched him to a home-cooked diet because I was worried about the possibility of salmonella and other diseases in an elderly dog. Do you think that was a good decision? I'm grateful not to have to handle raw meat all the time, that's for sure

    Complications after starting raw

    Wait, when you say "good quality raw meats," are you talking about pasture-raised, organic, etc.? So mass-produced meat from Raley's probably isn't good enough, huh? She has a good point about our current food production system having a higher likelihood of bad bacteria than what was in the wild.

    Complications after starting raw

    Thank you, Ginny. That was a great post. I don't have time to read all the resources, but I believe you. I'll continue with the raw/home-cooked diet. I especially liked your advice on not letting any one person change your mind all by themselves, on anything. Heh, words of wisdom.

    Complications after starting raw

    My new vet is advising me to stop feeding raw as it could be the cause of the elevated liver enzymes. Here is her reason: "The raw diet could cause liver inflammation due to bacteria (E coli and Salmonella being the more common ones) - these can get into the bile ducts, which connect to the...

    Complications after starting raw

    Update: We're gonna start working with a homeopathic vet soon. I'm also reintroducing raw/home-cooked to Pumpkin, but slowly, as diarrhea is ever present. But he enjoys it so much more, and he deserves it ?
