Another option for a dog recovering from an injury are the Nina Ottoman puzzle toys. They are great for sniffing and mental stimulation.

Thank you Dr. Jeff, I did look at Fleasgone at one point and decided against that approach. I will check it out again. I appreciate your support and glad we were able to talk yesterday. Hope we can get Buxton comfortable soon and continue to work on rebalancing him with homeopathy. Debbie

Thank you Dr. Sara, Buxton is cooperative with bathing but repeated bathing would be difficult for me to do. The temps here are cold to bathe outside (32 degrees this morning). with his heavy coat and if I have to let it dry that makes it more difficult. I don’t know if self serve dog washes...

Buxton has been itching the past month or so. Initially I thought maybe it was environmental allergies though he hasn’t had a problem in the past. He has gotten progressively worse especially the past few days. I took him to the vet and he has sarcoptic mange. The vet suggested Revolution or...

I get organ meat from small local organic farms Do you have any within reasonable driving distance? maybe check farm markets. You can also order online from www.mypetcarnivore.com

Thank you Dr. Sara

Thank you for your comments and additional information. Debbie

Buxton is a 7yo intact male BMD. He has been raw fed his entire life and rabies is the only vaccine he has had. At 2 yo OFA X-rays were done and showed grade 2 elbow with DJD and FCP. He has not had any issues with that elbow until recently. He has had Trixsyn and green lipped mussel for several...

This is Kedron gnawing on a lamb leg when she was about 3 months old. i didn’t let her eat the whole leg But she sure enjoyed it!

Buxton has had eye discharge in his left eye only for several weeks. Sometimes green but most often brown. I wipe it out in the morning and don’t usually need to wipe again until next morning. His BEAM is good so I haven’t worried about it. It is gradually lessening. No symptoms of rubbing or...

Thanks for checking on Sunshine, my brother’s dog. He had surgery February 9th and they removed both thyroids and 1 parathyroid. He is now on thyroid meds and they are monitoring calcium levels for the parathyroid. They are not recommending radiation or chemo which is good news! He did well...

Thank you for sharing about your dog’s thyroid tumor. Glad it was benign and hope she continues to do fine.

Hi Christine, I leave mine out but he knows when the treats are gone and only goes to it for his dedicated mat time. If he is outside I just tell him ‘mat time’ and he comes in. Sometimes that is a way to get him in when he would prefer to stay out in 15 degree weather!

Christine, I had a female who lived to over 12 and was not spayed. She was under the care of Dr. Jeff for other health issues. Dr. Jeff is over 6 hours from me so all was done by phone. I also had a very good relationship with my local vet and he was supportive of my decisions for any...

I used freeze dried treats or Ziwi Peak air dried food In his snuffle mat. Buxton uses his snuffle mat twice a day but it doesn’t take him long to get about 15 small treats. I also hide treats around the house that he has to find. I started easy until he learned the game. Now I can hide them in...

Yes, blood tests were done and were ok. There was protein in the urine. He did test negative for Lyme. Unfortunately the vet gave him lepto and Lyme vaccines. No, the lump wasn’t noticed before the vet. He took him in for a wellness check and mentioned the dog seemed to pant a lot. Because...

I'm looking for comments about adenocarcinoma of the thyroid. About 2 months ago my brother took in an 8.5 yo golden retriever when the previous owner passed away. The dog is a very sweet boy and transitioned nicely to my brother's home. The vet found a 3 cm lump on his larynx and did a fine...

Tammi, I heard about your itching issues on the Empower hour last night. This may be a wild idea but have you considered the possibility of bed bugs? A friend has a dog trained to detect bed bugs. Debbie

Thank you for the info!

When I use Neem oil for ticks I know it is important to get it directly on the skin. Buxton has a heavy coat and I part his fur to get to his skin to apply it. Is it necessary to do that with the AromaBoost too? Thanks.
