Hello, @Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jean Hofve,
We'd love to keep Cooper's teeth/gums as healthy and white as possible. He chews rawehide, 20 min., twice a day.
Any thoughts on this for when he is not chewing rawhide? We haven't been sucessful (yet) at a real bone bc of the mess...
@Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Christina, Cooper moans multiple times per day. Sometimes it's as he's just completed lying down and other times, while he's already lying down. He can either be sleeping or not. We wonder if there may be some stomach/digestive thing (blockage?) or maybe there's pain...
@Dr. Jeff, We purchased Floraphage I believe this was the supplement you recommended as a prebiotic? We are wondering the dose for 9.6 pd dog? They are capsules and it says noting about animal dosages. Thank you!
@Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff and @aruna, I saw the first aid kit info from a couple of yrs ago that Aruna posted. We had a kit and gave it all away thinking it would be a long time bf we considered a new up...HA! No pun intended:) Now that we have a new puppy, we want to be sure we're not...
@Dr. Christina, Thank you for your useful message. With regard to Medium Medium not being right for some, I'd say that many people dabble with his suggestions and therefore they will not necessarily see the results they're looking for. It takes commitment and often much refinement of protocols...
@Dr. Jeff, Thank you for your insights. I had a question out about eggs in a different question but it didn't get answered.With MM info isn't there concern about using eggs at all? David asked the above w/o asking about egg toxicity. Is there another way to get calcium besides bone meal or...
Meals for Cooper continues to be a strain. He's very picky. So far, he likes the most expensive meat (venision and lamb) w/o anythingelse added. Getting Fenbendazol into him for Giardia has been a struggle. We wonder if the meds or Giardia may be supressing his appetite.
Today is the last day...
@MargritVF and @Dr. Jeff, Sounds like an excellent alternative to meds. Thanks for the suggestion.
Dr. Jeff, do you recommend a dose and duration for a 10pd dog? I'm not sure I could get it in him, but it's worth a try.
@Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff ,
Thank you. We appreciate the insights as well as more to watch and read! We hired a local trainer this weekend. And have also spoken with Jennifer Bridwell a couple of times. We are doing our best to be consistant within our life circumstances.
We will purchase...
Cooper isn't food-motivated making it difficult to train him. We do have smelly treats and he likes them at first, but quickly becomes uninterested. It seems that he likes the foods we we've been giving him at first, but then loses interest.
The past two meals, he will eat cooked chicken w/...
@Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff,
If we use this ONLY on Cooper's harness do you think it would be okay an 1 hr or so a day?
Or do you have any other suggestions?
PS- He pulls A LOT while we try to walk but only wants to run. Unfortunately, we can not run! So until we can train him to heal, we're...
@Dr. Jeff, I see what you mean, but doesn't MM say that all eggs are contaminated bc every chicken has viruses due to the fact that they themselves came from an egg..?
@Dr. Jeff I see this has eggs as one ingredient. Based on Anthony William's info, would you say that eggs are also virus food for dogs? I am feeling like bf eggs were tampered with, of course dogs would be eating eggs...
@ChristineL Thank you for your reply!
Does Para-outa-Site really work do you know? We have a ton of ticks up here in NYS. I've used his sprays for years. Yes, the smell is not great for doggie or us, but it seems to work pretty well. We always put a lot on (not great).
