Good morning @Dr. Jeff -- I submitted Rowka's web update. Thank you for your help! --Jessica

She did, yes.

I do have nux 30! I will do a web update today. Vet said lungs and heart sound fine, no fever. Thinks perhaps either allergy to something (and recommended trying Benadryl) or trachea collapse (and suggested cough suppressant). Naturally, I would like to try holistic options over these two things...

Hi @Dr. Jeff, her coughing is quite frequent now. She’ll cough for a few seconds at a time—like a dry, honking/hacking (painful-sounding) cough—and there will be several of those episodes in close succession. Then a few minutes will go by and it happens again. Otherwise, her BEAM is good...

Thank you very much Dr Christina. We love our dogs and spend much time with them.

Many thanks, Dr. Christina and Dr. Jeff! The Arnica worked like a charm. Within about 15 minutes her BEAM was notably better. We've continued to dose her a few times a day for pain/healing. How long should we continue this for? Also, is there a detox protocol for the anesthesia and the metacam...

Thanks, Dr. Jeff! Would it be the 10/Q-tip? Is it "normal" for recovery to take this long (knowing every dog is different)? At what point would it be an "emergent" situation if she isn't recovering?

For reference, attached is the receipt from the vet showing a breakdown of the dental procedure today. And here is a picture of her gait as of a few minutes ago. Tagging @Dr. Jeff @Dr. Christina Thank you!

Thank you, Dr. Jeff!

My dog has swollen anal glands that are causing her discomfort. She also has an ulcerating mammary tumor. Dr. Jeff recommended giving her an epsom salt soak to soothe her and I’m wondering what the ratio of epsom salt to gallon of warm water might be. I bought her a shallow basin for the bath...

Thank you, Dr. Jeff and Dr. Christina! We'll keep you posted.

Thanks so much to everyone for your wonderful and thoughtful responses! Kiki has taken the Arnica remedy with a few drops of milk, her leg bump looks better, and there is no more bleeding. We'll continue to support her with the ways suggested going forward. 🥰

@Dr. Jeff last night we gave her gabapentin via syringe because we wouldn’t be able to monitor her pain/discomfort overnight, but this morning when trying to do the Arnica via Qtip, she would not let us get near her mouth and she was getting stressed out/upset. Not sure a syringe would be any...

They actually had 200c Arnica at Nature’s Way! :)
