There was a fox hanging around on our deck and roaming the property. It was itching a lot while on the deck and stayed a while. His coat looked mangy and/or flea bitten. I picked up poop in 3 different places on the yard and driveway and then poured bleach on the spot. I talked with our local...

Should I put anything on Buxton’s incision? He just wants to lie down. When I took him outside he wanted to check out his incision and I had to keep him moving. Than you! Debbie

Dr. Jeff, Thanks for your prompt reply! What was thought to be a rectal mass was just a thickening ring around his anus. The vet was able to get a better look when Buxton was sedated and they shaved the area. I appreciate your guidance about dosing arnica and meds. The arnica links are great to...

Buxton, 10 yo BMD, was neutered today due to prostatitis. I gave him Arnica 10m last night. They gave me Rimadyl to start tomorrow as an anti-inflammatory and for pain to give for 7 days. Also Gabapentin tonight for pain and for 5 days. If I give him Arnica will that take the place of both...

Thank you!

Dr. Christina, Thank you very much for your reply. Buxton does not have an issue with fleas but ticks are a BIG problem. His numbers have been very high (10,676) on the Multiplex test. Thankfully he hasn’t shown any disease. I had Lyme disease myself last October probably from a tick off...

Thank you very much @Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Jean Hofve. I appreciate you looking into it and explaining your thoughts on it. Debbie

Is anyone familiar with Leela Quantum Tech? They have dog and cat collars and I wonder if they could be helpful? https://leelaq.com below is their description of the collars: Quantum energy is one of the most fascinating transformation tools of our time, and its positive effects can not only...

Dr. Jeff, Thank you for your reply. X-rays were not taken. She diagnosed the arthritis by exam. Do you think x-rays would be important? Buxton had CBC, chemistry and UA in April and the vet didn't note anything of concern. He had VDI testing done in June and B12 and magnesium were low normal...

During last night's webinar I talked about Buxton's panting and there were several suggestions. Thank you @Dr. Christina for offering to post them here. Buxton is an 8 yo Bernese Mountain Dog. He has been holistically raised since he was born and I have had appointments with @Dr. Jeff too...

I use Ziwi Peak air dried food for the snuffle mat. It isn specifically a treat but a complete food that I use as treats.

Thank you for your reply. Debbie

I had testing done at VDI for Buxton and his magnesium and B12 were both low normal and supplementation was recommended. They recommended their topical lotion magnesium-lotion-for-pets . Has anyone used that product? Do you recommend lotion or trying to add pumpkin seeds or chia seeds or more...

Thank you, Ginny That eases my mind Hope we can get back to normal soon.

Bea is almost 11 months old and not spayed. She started her heat March 2nd. Buxton’s BEAM is worse today. I gave the Puls yesterday. How long should I fast him? I took him in for a weight check yesterday and he lost 2 pounds since April 28. is that a concern? Than you. Debbie

Buxton had a very stressful weekend and went off his food and still is not eating and not interested in his usual activities. My kids were here for the weekend so our routine wasn’t the same but to make it worse Buxton quickly told us my daughter’s female dog, Bea, had something going on. Buxton...

Thanks for your comments I do pause the joint supplements occasionally to make sure I’m not covering an issue that needs to be addressed. I switch off vitamin and mineral products between Dobias and Cornucopia. I make my own bone broth because I have access to local organic beef, pork and...

When giving a supplement for joint support is it helpful to switch products periodically? Maybe give Super Snouts for a month and then Green Eggs for a month or switch at the end of the container? This is for a BMD that has been on joint supplements since he was young maybe ~1 yo and he is...

Hi Danielle, My dog also likes to be cooler. Fortunately I like it cooler too so in warm weather the AC helps as well as ceiling fans. Buxton moves from tile to linoleum and lays in a Sphinx position so his belly is cooler. I have a cool coat that works well for walks in the summer. For a...
