Yep: Dr. Kevin Homan, at Home - The Longevity Vet. Sees both cats and dogs. ginny

Yeah, no...it's a food supplement. Not harmful at all:)

We visited our integrative vet yesterday and brought her up to date on recent findings re MCTs. She enthusiastically recommends Chaga mushrooms in any form, and especially in ABA's formulation. She also likes frankincense oil applied topically, so we have added that in. There are a lot of...

Yes, the same. Don't worry about dosing it; if she won't accept it, dissolve the pellet in a bit of water, wet a Kleenex or little bit of cloth, and hold it in her ear flap for a few seconds. Use whatever you've managed to get, but 10M would be the best in this case. Dosage doesn't matter at...

Yeah; me too! Vomiting is a proactive move by the body - precisely to FIX issues, not to cause them. Just keep an eye out, but I'd say there is nothing to fix.

Hey, Vitalizer people....I just acquired a sort-of used, sort-of new Vitalizer, and with it is a small part to which I can find no reference on ANY site. It is a small disc, about the size of a one franc or a Canadian 25 cent piece. It's white plastic, and has two holes on the circumference 180...

Yes; get the Arnica. 10M is fairly commonly available, in decent health food stores or pharmacies. Dissolve one pellet in water, as the others have said. This is a big "go-to" remedy which will act seemingly miraculously on pain and discomfort - and it's actual healing, not just pain relief. I...

Hey, so in response to last Monday's webinar presentation, I have ordered, received and will start tonight on Adored Beast's Vital Defense chaga and algae product. I found Julie Ann's presentation and research to be flat-out compelling, with the test-tube studies and all. We were already using...

If your cat is indoors, I would question the need for the Revolution... In any case, good health discourages parasites like fleas, and Revolution is antithetical to good health - so, better to build health than apply poisons. I agree that aloe vera can be helpful.

I was just revisiting the webinar presentation by Ihor Basko, on mushrooms and their uses. I am delighted to note all the affinities for various ailments, and am from hereon going to double, at least, the dosages I give my boy - not the least because he has been discovered to have what is being...

Good for you, Keath - you're off and running! You should know that cats have no need whatsoever for vegetable matter in their diets, and cannot process it well. So, take a load off and just feed them the meat for which they evolved to eat. Dogs, well, it's pretty much optional, but they can get...

Frozen and thawed is fine. The real key to best health involves, IMO, variety over anything else. A bit of cooked, or raw, or frozen is fine. This is what his body is designed to use, after all. I cannot think of a disease or affliction that would make cooking or processing better/necessary for...

Yep; he's teaching YOU - and us, and anyone else listening. Not a big deal for him; he's plenty strong enough to weather this. Tell him you understand, that you got the message, and he can go ahead and get better now.....oh, and stay away from this vet, or at least learn how to interpret and...

FWIW, I have some neighbor/friends who have a little Jack Russell female, somewhere north of ten years old, I believe. When I met them, she was struggling with inappetence on the terrible kidney food the vet recco'ed, had mouth ulcers, and was generally not a happy dog, fearful and retiring, not...

So terribly sorry for your loss. But she had powerful lessons to teach, and you learned - this is her gift, which you richly deserved. Do not let your regrets eclipse your great learning; her love surrounds you, and will be with you forever. Bless you!
