Thank you @Dr. Jeff -- I did take up the available water bowl and put one for Charlie on the second floor where she won't go. She heard Charlie getting some banana earlier and came into the kitchen to where the water bowl usually is. I'll get her in for an x-ray. Read about Phos -- the first...

@Dr. Jeff Update on Kendi Sunday morning: Tolerated walk, slow going up steps to the house, wanted to eat grass Cooked breakfast for her, 1/2 usual amount NO INTEREST AT ALL IN FOOD, ONLY WANTED TO DRINK WATER, VOMITED AFTER DRINKING I dosed her again, Ars 30c, 10x, q-tip 8:40 a.m. She's...

Hi @Dr. Jeff -- Reporting back on Kendi: Dosed with Ars 30c Thursday night, 11:20, 10x/q-tip Low energy Friday morning; slow going up steps; not fed String stool 5:00 p.m. with watery mucus Fed 1/2 cup congee 5:45 Fed 1/2 cup congee 8:45 Stretching and play bow 9:45 Second dose of Ars 30c...

Thanks @Dr. Jeff -- I took another look and yes, Ars makes more sense now. I first looked at our mini-repertory last night. Changes today compared to last night. She finally rested for about 30 minutes but just got up again. Just remembered that I gave her Ars once before when she vomited. I'll...

@Dr. Jeff and all -- One of Kendi's symptoms is that she eats inedible things. She particularly likes paper. She had her first real appointment with Dr. Jeff last month and I've been giving her calc carb 200c. Of course she has other things going on. This past Sunday evening she found one of...

Thanks for this info @Dr. Sara -- I use this monthly for Charlie! Kristen

@JodyMY -- I have the book that Dr. Christina mentioned and I love it. The descriptions are so detailed and whatever I look up, the essence is right on about the symptom. Here's a link: Bach Flower Remedies for Animals I've also ordered essences from Jackson and have been pleased. I've used...

I love your response...allow for the fullest development of the remedy's energy. Thank you @GinnyW !

Wow...thanks everyone for the continued conversation and information about this. I do understand how it all works...bummed that if I want to continue fun activities at training centers that require the rabies vaccine Charlie will have to get another one next year. I waited as long as I could to...

Quick update -- Charlie began his Intro to Scent Work class this past week. He loved it, no surprise! Rabies vaccine given two days before class. Had to have it in order to participate. I waited until he was worm-free and his BEAM was good across the board before taking him in for the vaccine...

Hey Jody -- thanks for asking about this! I never tried it. It takes me forever to look at symptoms, especially when there's a lot. I talked with Dr. Jeff about it and suggested looking at the remedies that complement nux vomica which I have been using with him. Ferrum isn't on that list. I'll...

I was looking at cough, motion aggravates for Charlie because this has become a more prominent symptom. One remedy is in bold, ferrum metallicum. My interest was peaked even though I had just started re-looking at his symptoms and this was the first one I looked at. Checked this remedy out in...

IMO, there's rarely a definitive yes/no answer to your questions. It just depends on so many things. Supplements MAY help the body 'get right' and/or 'prevent further damage'. It's imperative though that you look at the BIG picture. What else is going on for the animal? In some cases, it MIGHT...

Hello again @EdwinA -- I can tell you what I think I know. ;-D I think supplements can be suppressive. IMO, that's the seemingly positive response we might see when using them. @Dr. Christina often suggests stopping supplements for a few days to see what shows up in terms of symptoms. It's...

@LilF & @Dr. Jeff -- I ordered Safe-Guard De-Wormer for Dogs from Chewy to try with Charlie. No Rx needed and the same active ingredients from what I could find. Both made by Merck. This may help you if you decide to do the de-worming. Kristen

@EdwinA -- Wow! I wrote that reply to @Dr. Christina on December 2 of last year and I finally re-dosed Charlie on December 28. That was a few days after my 15-minute call with @Dr. Jeff. I stayed with 200c at Dr. Jeff's recommendation although I think I understand why he said to use 6c 10/dose...

I am also grateful for this thread and the added info from @Dr. Sara. Kendi has her first appointment with a conventional vet next week since I adopted her that is. She was listed as spayed but she is not. She's 11 years old. Thanks again! Kristen

Thanks @Dr. Jeff -- Charlie's BEAM might have dropped a little but it's back now with no more episodes that I've heard or seen. He varies where he rests now, sometimes with me, sometimes in a different room, sometimes on furniture, or sometimes in Kendi's crate or his x-pen. I think this is a...

@Dr. Jeff -- Charlie had his vet appointment yesterday and we're now waiting for all of his routine lab results to come in. His vet uses Antech so there was some pushback on getting the dysbiosis index. She said that Antech does a fecal culture that looks for 9 or 10 different bacteria but I...

@Dr. Jeff and everyone else -- I'm in the process of re-repertorizing Charlie's symptoms and not sure how to search for a few. Charlie has off and on made a hacking sound which I called a cough. He has other coughs too that come and go. I've noticed that more recently that this hacking sound...
