    Canine right back leg gave out a few times this weekend

    Hi Dr. Jeff, Update- Fibi had a seizure-like episode last night where her right leg was bent up towards her face and she was convulsing. At least that's how to describe it. It was alarming and lasted for about10 seconds, more or less. The day before, she had a chiropractor appt. And a few days...

    UTI Senior canine

    Thanks for all of the input Dr. Jeff! And Aruna for checking in! David brought Fibi to the emergency hospital and though she did finally get treated, Fibi wasn't taken for over six hrs... constantly squatting and just terribly uncomfortable. Like everywhere, they are understaffed. One vet for...

    UTI Senior canine

    Good Morning, My 14 yr old female Havanese just began needing to urinate constantly. This just began all of a sudden this morning. Does this warrant a trip to the vet? Or, are there any suggestions that might be helpful? She's very uncomfortable and won't go on a piddle pad. Thanks! Sheri

    Thyroid issues

    Dr. Christina and Dr. Jeff, It's been going on since Fib's thyroid med was reduced a few weeks ago. (Reminder she's 14 and a 9 pd. Havanese). Though she's been lethargic since the fall down the stairs. The Vet does do some homeopathy, but maybe not as much as some others. She was put on thyroid...

    Senior canine vegan diet

    Dr. Christina and Dr. Jeff, once again, thank you for this conversation. I liked the vegan dog food ideas you suggested. I'm concerned about the yeast still. I've done some research on Glutamate and because in its essence, it appears to be in neurotransmitters and IS crucial in the functioning...

    Thyroid issues

    @Dr. Jeff, Our 14 yr old female Havanese (Fibi) has been on .1mg of Levothyroxine 2x/ day for several years, along with some adrenal desiccated supplement. Her local vet ran a senior panel on her blood and reduced the levo by 50% based on a T-4 of 4.0. Fibi has been especially lethargic and...

    Senior canine vegan diet

    Thank you Dr. Jeff and Dr. Christina. After looking through the links, It's apparent that any plant-based food that is "clean" actually has yeast additives. It is my understanding that yeast or nutritional yeast products are MSG. Please correct me if I've misunderstood.

    Senior canine vegan diet

    On Monday August 29th, Dr. Bob spoke about the benefits of a plant based diet for our furry friends. Some brands were listed as resources for embarking on this path. Can someone please provide some direction? We've been feeding our 14 year old Havanese a raw meat diet with lots of veggies and...

    Pain Management

    Dr Jeff, Thanks very much for your suggestions. At this time, she doesn't seem to be in any acute pain. This is in case of emergency, given the distance to the nearest emegency vet.
