Wow, guess I hit the jackpot! My guy happens to be 11 and 68 lbs, but still gets out for 2-3 miles daily. I'll bet her energy picks right up on the "good" stuff... Find out how much she "needs" by feeding, cutting back, watching for too-visible bony protuberances, her eagerness for meals. My guy...
All right, well, for starters: variety - but over time. You don't have to get every nutrient or shape in every meal. Meals don't have to be the same size, and don't have to be offered at the same time each day. Feeding big and then little, or even fasting, is a great idea. Feed large pieces...
So, we've been using ZipZyme's omega supplement since it became available. It's a proprietary algae-based complete product, of which one gives a scoopful or so daily in food. We love it! I have a subscription - it's not super cheap:)- and we are on our third month of it. I noted that Adored...
Agreed. The fleas jumping on him are a sign - not the main target here. When he is better balanced they will leave him alone, so let him deal without the nasty preventives. Tell the fleas this is not the cat they seek:)
Just maybe....have you tried anything raw? Raw meat, blood, green tripe. raw eggs, fish. Are there any special situations he might be more responsive to? Being outside? "Finding" food in unusual places, i.e., on a trail/walk? Watching another dog eat? Visiting a pet store? Letting him "find"...
With my not being a doctor, I can perhaps express my views with a little less reserve....I would no way give this boy anything that might increase his physical stress, including HW meds and vaccinations. Ask yourself what his chances of exposure, his probability of developing disease, are - and...
Agreed - and another month of the therapeutic measures will certainly get her down the road of repair - it's even conceivable that these less invasive measures might even obviate the need for surgery, as we discussed earlier. Best wishes on your own success, too:)
This is all good! He should be in a much better condition to heal himself. Now you can concentrate on systemic issues like the kidney function. Best wishes for healing, to him and you!
Um, my suggestion would be a radical change in diet: I'd toss the commercially-raised chicken. Perdue, Tyson, etc. is about the worst chicken you can get, in terms of how it is raised and fed. Skin or no skin doesn't much matter; it's all junk. Yes, we feed some chicken, but from a relatively...
Here I am, not the homeopath again, but I would look at Symphitum, which not only works for pain but also for healing of fractures. Arnica is fine for immediate relief, but Symph. really does heal the bones. You did well to keep her away from the emergency guys, and she will heal just fine. Does...
I think you've done remarkably well with him thus far. I wonder if, firstly, another session with an animal communicator would point out why and how he is reactive. Clues from this work might suggest a way to help with homeopathy, too - treatment can have some deep and surprising results. I'll...
It's important that she does NOT overuse the leg - as in "best if she doesn't use it at all". Even were she to have a surgery, crate rest is vital to good healing. Each time she overuses or stresses it she is slowing down healing or even undoing healing. We cannot judge her progress by observing...
Yeah, I apologize for the link which sought a fee - I really had no idea my vet was marketing to that extent. So that leaves us with all the positive management strategies, most of which you are employing already. Your inner peace and confidence in her ability to heal will be most important...
I think she - and you - are just starting to see natural healing:) If you keep up the good food and adjuncts, I think you can just trust her little body to play out and dispose of all the bad energy. It's never about just one thing for one symptom; let them all work for a while - especially the...
Classical homeopathy - oh, and animal communication. See if something happened to him. I'd think there would also be more thorough diagnostic work to do. I would not accept any allopathic drugs for this.
Ummm, I don't think she'll need them, really. Start with the Arnica, as Dr. Jeff said. Give her a dose following the surgery. After that, whenever she seems uncomfortable, maybe at 12 hour intervals for the first day or two. Her little body will know how to obviate the troubles, given the assist...
Getting her weight down will be a huge factor in both her healing and her eventual activity level. My integrative vet uses custom braces - and most times no surgery - for long term healing. These, of course, take most of the worry out of re-injuring as well as promoting healthy activity. I like...
