Thanks for the guidance. I have other symptoms that I'm looking at, the ears just one of them. I was looking to see what remedies might show up in all of the symptoms. Chronic skin inflammation really describes him AND there are other things. Thanks again! Kristen

I've been following this thread as Charlie has started scratching at his ears and digging in them. I've started the Zymox treatment just today, without the steroid. Question @Dr. Sara -- in the repertory, what's the difference between ear discharge and ear wax? Thanks! Kristen

@DonnaR -- be sure to tell us what Lucy has to say!!! I'm interested! Kristen

@Dr. Jeff -- this article, Your Guide to the Difference..., put it all together for me in a quick and easy-to-read way, thanks! It helped me get through the highlights of the article you past last week on gut microbiota. Do dogs and cats tolerate miso and olives? They're staples for me. Kristen

@ginnyw -- letting you know that your chicken breast suggestion worked better than anything I've tried so far. The fact that it has a more square shape rather than something that could slide right down his throat made sense to me as I watched him chew, chew, chew. I can't hold onto it...he's...

Charlie doesn't seem to tolerate Answers fermented beef kefir at all. He did a little better on Answers fermented goats milk. He has done the best on fermented raw sauerkraut comparing his stools to the Answers products. I'm looking forward to tonight's Empower Hour. I think Dr. Knueven said...

I was reading the other thread about pumpkin and constipation. Does pumpkin also work for diarrhea, maybe after a short fast? Why is it that one food would help both extremes? Thanks! Kristen

Thanks @Dr. Jeff and @ginnyw -- I tried holding chicken necks for him his third week with me. He may have thought I wanted them back and let them go. Tried holding them for him this week (week 8)...dangerous for me! He's so excited and grabs to get it, grabbing my hand too. Tonight I tried...

Thank you @Dr. Erin -- useful information!

Attaching the scanned brochure for QEST4 I received at Charlie's vet appointment. I chose not to have it done now, primarily due to the cost. If I'm remembering correctly, it was $400. Still in the research and decision phase! Hope this is helpful.

Another thing about Charlie is that he doesn't chew his food. I've only heard him chew a piece of a chicken neck a couple of times. The first time I gave him a whole chicken neck he took into another room and put it on the sofa! Two other times he swallowed them whole. Now I cut them into...

Charlie is fully transitioned to a raw diet now, mostly fresh. I'm not sure it totally agrees with him so am reviewing other threads on the forum and listening to the Empower Hours on dysbiosis. In stomach/appetite, I'm wondering what the difference is between insatiable, ravenous, and...

SUPER gorgeous!!! I hope she can find a place. Kristen

Thank you @Dr. Sara -- they are so much fun!!! I appreciate the feedback about the ALT. Charlie's first vet appointment is this coming Thursday and I'm looking forward to learning more about him then. He is such a sweetheart! Thanks again! Kristen

Wasn't sure where to post this...thinking reducing cancer risk might be a good place. The results from Charlie's DNA testing arrived yesterday and today. Only one thing showed up in the health area and it's considered a clinical trait --Alanine Aminotransferase Activity result: Low Normal...

No, @Dr. Christina , I was seeing Melissa McFarland at Cape Horn Vets in York, PA. She attended the six-day class you did in MD where I served as your registrar. I'll be sure to post what the new vet has to say!

Makes sense, thanks!

I usually hang onto remedy solutions that I make long after I'm not using them any more. 1 pellet to 1 cup water, in a glass jar, refrigerated. Is this recommended? Could I use this preparation again if needed? What about those repeat succussions done before re-dosing? Would I have to...

I was going to pose a question about Chinese herbs, single and blends, but this thread seems to answer my question. Charlie has his first conventional vet appointment soon. I had to find a new vet because the one I used has stopped practicing to stay home with her family. That vet had...

That's a great idea! I always look forward to Monday evenings though, no matter what the topic. Thanks for the holiday wishes...same to you and Amy! Kristen
