We're moving forward with the dental. His bloodwork was good enough that the vet felt comfortable. She did say he might have early-stage kidney disease, though ("might" because the sample was "potentially diluted", and he questions whether it's really the "high-meat diet" that may be causing...

I switched him to a home-cooked diet because I was worried about the possibility of salmonella and other diseases in an elderly dog. Do you think that was a good decision? I'm grateful not to have to handle raw meat all the time, that's for sure

Yeah, I remember him talking about it but I don't remember him expressing doubts :/ God Bless 'em all ?

Wait, when you say "good quality raw meats," are you talking about pasture-raised, organic, etc.? So mass-produced meat from Raley's probably isn't good enough, huh? She has a good point about our current food production system having a higher likelihood of bad bacteria than what was in the wild.

Thank you, Ginny. That was a great post. I don't have time to read all the resources, but I believe you. I'll continue with the raw/home-cooked diet. I especially liked your advice on not letting any one person change your mind all by themselves, on anything. Heh, words of wisdom.

My new vet is advising me to stop feeding raw as it could be the cause of the elevated liver enzymes. Here is her reason: "The raw diet could cause liver inflammation due to bacteria (E coli and Salmonella being the more common ones) - these can get into the bile ducts, which connect to the...

Update: We're gonna start working with a homeopathic vet soon. I'm also reintroducing raw/home-cooked to Pumpkin, but slowly, as diarrhea is ever present. But he enjoys it so much more, and he deserves it ?

Good answer, thanks. ??

Thank you so much. I sensed he was being melodramatic when he suggested that he might have a liver tumor, and therefore, would want to do an ultrasound and radiograph. And it would've been $700, too! I'm going to get a second opinion. ???

Watching the Homeopathy courses (great, by the way). Need clarification: 200c is more potent than 6c, right? Am I correct in saying that it's been diluted MORE than 6c? So, to put a pellet (let's say 200c) in a cup of water, and take only a sip.... would that sip be more potent than taking...

Ok. He said that one route is to give him antibiotics for the dental pain (I'd do homeopathy, instead), but that's still not an ideal solution, huh? Do you have any comments on the Radiograph and Ultrasound?

Ok, went to vet yesterday. Vet was leaning toward not doing a cleaning. He said he'd probably need a lot of teeth pulled and has high liver numbers. Said he might have a liver tumor and recommended doing some testing before we jump into a cleaning. (A Radiograph and Ultrasound. ) Also said he...

Ok, I'm going to contact a homeopath, especially because he's getting dental work done in a few weeks, and I want to make sure he has support for that as well. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Pumpkin got vaccinated a couple of months ago (triple rabies vaccine.....which I didn't approve... someone else took him). After that, he started developing more symptoms of arthritis. Is it too late to give him a remedy such as Thuja? TIA!

Update: Since I don't have the money to work with a homeopathic vet right now, we've been going at it alone. I tried several different homeopathic remedies for him, and nothing has worked. We're trying Throat Coat today. He just has a sore throat, right? Just to reiterate, the symptom is a...

That would be awesome. She was the first presenter in Dr. Jeff Grognet's Holistic Conference. I think it's one of the easiest energy healing modalities for animals...

I wanted to give a plug for this gentle Japanese acupressure. I have been doing traditional acupressure on my dog for a few years, with good results. However, I recently learned about Jin Shin Jyutsu, which is easier to do on him because I'm not putting fingers on him... I'm just laying my...

Thank you!

Thanks, Dr. Jeff, for the response. Regarding, "A", do you recommend he get the Bordatella vaccine? (We go to the park most days of the week, and he meets lots of dogs). Regarding "C", I didn't work with a trained vet homeopath. I just read on the internet that Drosera is good for kennel...
