    Garlic, Onions and Susceptibility to Toxicity for Dogs and Cats

    Tamari is made from soy, which unless organic is GMO. I wouldn't worry about the amount of sodium in a few drops. The "medical" concerns about sodium are vastly overstated. Salt may improve taste and hence appetite, which are way more important for a sick kitty. I disagree about the garlic...

    Hard stools

    She should still be getting the probiotic. Why did you stop giving it? Since she hasn't been getting it, that may explain the stool since the fiber is an important part of that supplement. Once is stable on that then we can see if she needs any additional fiber.

    Hard stools

    I guess I don't understand the question. She is already getting fiber in the probiotics, she isn't having any problems, it sounds like the vet is okay with how she's doing; why do you want to change it?

    Hard stools

    Is she straining? Gassy? Tender tummy? Grumpy? Poor BEAM? Why do you think it is a problem?

    Timing Drontal After Spay Surgery + Gabapentin concern.

    More likely from the big demands on her body from pregnancy and nursing, unlikely worms have anything to do with that. It won't hurt anything to wait to talk to Dr. Herman.

    Thyroid testing and length of time before processing

    High in iodine, so I wouldn't use it for cats. Some of the claims on the website are illegal, makes me a little uncomfortable.

    Thyroid testing and length of time before processing

    Um, has everyone *met* our US Postal Service? The mail has gotten slower and slower the last few years (the uppy-ups have made some very questionable and unfortunate changes). That is a very important point about cruciferous vegetables. I love 'em, but being hypothyroid myself, I've been told...

    Premix for raw food for cats

    Well today is your lucky day! I was talking to a colleague and found out you can get Amphojel (a phosphate binder) in Canada! It's not needed until blood phosphorus gets a little higher or there are worse symptoms, but it may become important. (It's not tasty, so you don't want to use it until...

    How did Dogs Bobi and Bluey live to be around 30 yrs old??

    I think I may have not been clear about Abraham... not that the animals love their experience here (heck, I don't always love MY experience here!) but they appreciate their ability to *have* the experiences that allow them to learn and grow on their own eternal paths. Animals, people, abused...

    Premix for raw food for cats

    Dr. Jeff and Dr. Christina are both excellent homeopaths; I'd start with them!

    Premix for raw food for cats

    I don't know what is available in Canada, sorry. Here is some info on seizures that may be helpful. Seizures and Epilepsy | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve But I would strongly recommend homeopathic treatment! This is not a minor issue and needs to be addressed.

    Premix for raw food for cats

    Here's my philosophy: I recommend TC Instincts and meat. It's been a solid, proven combination for decades. Now, whatever you want to add, you're free to do so, but then you are doing something different and I can't vouch for it. But now we are talking about a particular condition, so then it...

    How did Dogs Bobi and Bluey live to be around 30 yrs old??

    Great and deep discussion, thanks everyone! I agree with the principles Drs. Christina and Jeff have talked about. As far as life path or "contract," I highly recommend you read the book "Journey of Souls" by the late Dr. Michael Newton. You will understand completely. It's not scary or weird...

    Premix for raw food for cats

    No just that. It is intended to make meat into a complete diet. No veggies.

    Best diet for cat with kidney issues

    Great points from Drs Jeff and Christina. BTW the article I posted is old, there’s more research and I will update as soon as I.am recovered! So, several grains of salt will apply! 🙄

    Best diet for cat with kidney issues

    IMO there is no justification for using a kidney diet for early stages, and only rarely (as symptom control) in later stages. I just left the hospital a few minutes ago after knee replacement surgery, and my brain is pretty fogged up but here is my take on this condition. Kidney Disease in Cats...

    Hemp Litter

    Interesting that they pellet it. A lot of cats don't like the feeling of those hard edges on their paws. But at least it's actually organic!

    Hemp Litter

    Canada unfortunately uses a ton of GMO, so I wouldn't chance it unless they can tell you it isn't. Cats will consume quite a bit of it when they clean their paws.

    Momma cat is giving birth right now. Any homeopathic remedy to support her post birth?

    Just good food and lots of it! A normal natural birth doesn't need treatment.
