Yep, I know what you mean...About a hundred years ago, in another place and time, one of my friends who had lovely competition Danes said, "I used to think my hobby was dogs; now I know it's feeding dogs..."
Well, actually any "raw, meaty bone" - our working definition in the raw feeding community - is going to be a bit messy; the idea, after all, is that they have enough meat on them to be totally consumeable. Rather than feed less-than-optimal, not so meaty bones, perhaps you can teach your dog...
It occurs to me that the spots may be a form of detoxification, since he is now on a great raw diet. You could just let them play out for a while. I'd look deeper in to his system, perhaps with the help of a good homeopathic practitioner. There is also the possibility that the pigmentation is...
Simply put, developing health will eclipse the symptoms for which the meds were prescribed. Health always wins, and other "this-for-that " treatments cause more issues than they solve - which is not many anyway. Giardia, etc, is self-limiting in the face of a healthy inner terrain. So optimize...
Can you let him look out? Perhaps holding him sitting in your lap... If he likes, let him chew/nurse on something. Always associate a car ride with a treat. You might go so far as to "reward" (and praise) every time he gets in - even if you carry him or put him in a carrier.
No, he forgives you! They always know that you've done your best and acted out of love. And - in my view - he is there in spirit with many others to guide and love him. Be sure to think of him - pray, if you will - running and jumping and floating around with his new and old friends, happy and...
Deepest sympathies, Keath....he got to spend some lovely time, surrounded in love, at the end of his stay here. He was grateful for the care and attention with which you showered him. And of course, you learned as well, lessons which will come in handy in the future, for both cats and humans...
Yeah, sure! It's part of keeping him happy:) I'm feeding my guy a little strangely right now, due to a health issue that is under control. Today, a neighbor gave him a whole small roll of FreshPet, which I would not ordinarily have. But he thought it was liquid gold, and carried on until he got...
Just want to put in a good word: Variety ...and then variety. And more variety! Can't go wrong that way, and these guys - and us, too - can sort out the offerings, take what is needed and march on down the road.
There are SO many interesting products out there now, compared to even ten or 20...
I'd recommend working with a dedicated homeopathic practitioner - this works fine long distance, because YOU are telling them what you observe. This way you can find and use remedies that are more specific and targeted to his symptoms - over time, with chronic conditions, this is a more...
We visited our integrative vet yesterday and brought her up to date on recent findings re MCTs. She enthusiastically recommends Chaga mushrooms in any form, and especially in ABA's formulation. She also likes frankincense oil applied topically, so we have added that in.
There are a lot of...
Yes, the same. Don't worry about dosing it; if she won't accept it, dissolve the pellet in a bit of water, wet a Kleenex or little bit of cloth, and hold it in her ear flap for a few seconds. Use whatever you've managed to get, but 10M would be the best in this case. Dosage doesn't matter at...
Yeah; me too! Vomiting is a proactive move by the body - precisely to FIX issues, not to cause them. Just keep an eye out, but I'd say there is nothing to fix.
Hey, Vitalizer people....I just acquired a sort-of used, sort-of new Vitalizer, and with it is a small part to which I can find no reference on ANY site. It is a small disc, about the size of a one franc or a Canadian 25 cent piece. It's white plastic, and has two holes on the circumference 180...
Yes; get the Arnica. 10M is fairly commonly available, in decent health food stores or pharmacies. Dissolve one pellet in water, as the others have said. This is a big "go-to" remedy which will act seemingly miraculously on pain and discomfort - and it's actual healing, not just pain relief.
I...
Hey, so in response to last Monday's webinar presentation, I have ordered, received and will start tonight on Adored Beast's Vital Defense chaga and algae product. I found Julie Ann's presentation and research to be flat-out compelling, with the test-tube studies and all. We were already using...
If your cat is indoors, I would question the need for the Revolution... In any case, good health discourages parasites like fleas, and Revolution is antithetical to good health - so, better to build health than apply poisons.
I agree that aloe vera can be helpful.
I was just revisiting the webinar presentation by Ihor Basko, on mushrooms and their uses. I am delighted to note all the affinities for various ailments, and am from hereon going to double, at least, the dosages I give my boy - not the least because he has been discovered to have what is being...
