Ok….I won’t worry!!:)

Thanks for your reply. I did listen to Elizabeth Johnson’s webinar when the replay was available and listened again yesterday. Frisco’s main element is definitely wood. Knowing the characteristics of the wood element does help me understand and work with him better. I need to spend some time...

Frisco is a very rambunctious 6 month old Bernese Mountain Dog. He has limited access to the house when I am home and is an x-pen with a top on it when I’m not home and sleeps in a crate at night. Today we had a good sniff walk on a new trail and after we got home he jumped the fence the first...

Thank you for your response. Debbie

Thanks for catching the “missing question”! My question: Do dogs gain immune protection from kennel cough after they have had it and recovered? Thank you. Debbie

Buxton contracted kennel cough. He didn’t have direct contact with any dogs that were known to have kennel cough at the time but they came down with it 4 days later. 10 days later Buxton started with a hacking cough and spitting up white foam. I gave him throat coat tea with manuka honey. 24...

Thank you, Ginny for your comments. You make good points to think about. We just did a Cardiopet proBNP test and it came back high suggestive of heart disease. Also low cortisol that may be Addisons though we haven't completed the STIM test yet. These findings certainly point to "happiness...

Thanks for your reply. I have worked with Dr. Jeff since Buxton was a puppy.

Thank you so much! I’m filling out the survey now and will send it to you. Debbie

Buxton 10 yo BMD) was neutered June 26 due to prostatitis. Since then his energy has dropped dramatically and he seems exhausted after a short walk. He also has decreased mobility and is exhibiting pain. I question if this is due to the drop in hormones from his neuter. He also has lumbar sacral...

That sounds great! It sounds like you have put a lot of thought and work into it. I currently use a notebook and often forget to write down the details. I have an iPhone but have not used the notes app. The icons and automatic date would be very helpful! I would be happy to test it out! Debbie

I’m not aware of an app to track symptoms but sounds like a great idea! I too struggle at the end of the day to write in my journal. I think I will remember but after a couple days I realize I have forgotten what happened when.

Thank you, Dr. Jeff!

Thank you. I look forward to hearing what they say. Debbie
