I cannot get it to save on my computer so will try later, but what vet said is she has seen this in normal dogs and that she would not be worried about it. Will try to send the results. Thank you!

Hi, I just had a blood panel done for my five year old Saluki and the white blood cell count was a bit low (3.9). The vet said that she has seen low white count in healthy dogs but I wanted another opinion and any suggestions on supplements to build healthy blood. I plan to breed her later in...

Thank you all. I had Samarah's tooth evaluated and she is scheduled for a dental to have the tooth removed...provided her echo shows she is okay for the anesthesia (she has a grade 2/3 murmur). Her blood work also revealed Lymes disease infection (not just exposure) so she will be on doxycycline...

Hi, I have a 12 year old Salukis who C6 antibody test for Lymes was at 56 and apparently anything over 30 means there is infection, not just exposure. Vet is recommending 30 days of Doxycycline. Same dog is scheduled for a sedated dental procedure (extraction) in about two weeks. Is it better to...

I have a twelve year old Saluki who does not eat much raw anymore (she does better on/prefers cooked), so her teeth are not white like her comrades'. I give her occasional bones to clean her teeth on and she slab fractured a molar. I have had this happen with the Salukis before and have been...

HI, I just had a routine wellness/bloodwork one for a 5.5 year old Saluki and it came out high on the RBC (9.5), Hematocrit (58.7), Reticulocytes (145) and Hemoglobin (21.4). Dog had two marrow bones the night before the bloodwork (about twelve hours before. Vet said this is normal and of no...

Thank you Dr Jeff. Splenic nodules can be regenerative? That is hopeful news. I know liver ones can, but didn't know about splenic ones. Yes, we are going on symptoms (of which he has not many), and I do ultra hydration, exercise (male intact dog needs exercise/walks to inspire complete emptying...

I have a dog who has both cystinuria and, according to ultrasound done in June, a small mass on the spleen. He has been treated by a holistic vet and also now a homeopathic vet. Homeopathic vet has taken him off of most of his supplements (mushrooms, biosuperfood (blue green algae/spirulina) and...

Thank you. It is Samarah (you may remember her..."Pulsatilla Queen"...used to gather eleven stuffed animals as her babies with false pregnanices and I eventually spayed because it was emotionally very hard on her). I am assuming spaying was suppressive in and of itself.). The most emotionally...

One of my dogs has what the vets think is a sebaceous cyst on her skin. I had it looked at to make sure it was not mast cell, etc. It appeared a few moths ago. She does aggravate it so it will bleed a little--not a flow of blood, but just very red. I learned the hard way not to touch it (it...

Thank you both. It turned up after a several other symptoms when my body kind of freaked out. Looking at myself as a pet, compared to five days of rapid heartbeat, the skin thing is a cakewalk...and I did think of Dr Chambreau telling me long ago how vets love skin stuff as opposed to the...

Thank you. I am the animal...I caught something from a pet I was grooming for the first time in over thirty years of grooming, so obviously my immune system is low. I avoided the anti and it is finally subsiding with homeopathy and chinese herbs.

Is anti-fungal ointment (for skin yeast fungal patches) suppressive and therefore not recommended? I saw in another thread that it was optional. Thank you!

My dog initially took it last summer for droplets of blood coming from manly bits when stressed out over a girl in season. This was a 30c and “accidentally” addressed the thunder/fireworks situation and stopped the blood droplets but didn’t address the actual underlying cause that I was unaware...

Look forward to this. I have a dog who has always had a fear of interior stairs in my house, despite no negative experience that I can tell (she never used them). Have not tried homeopathy with her. Had another who became phobic of thunderstorms following a shooting (twelve shots right near my...

Great topic, and a puzzling one for me. For my breed (Saluki) DCM and cystinuria are a question. Also cystinuria (may have botched the spelling), as several Salukis have recently been diagnosed with this and we were not seeing it before in this breed. If there are "carriers" of these dis-eases...

WOW> Thank god he did not ignore that and that he had his doctor's voice in his head reminding him not to ignore any symptoms. looking forward to happy ending here too.

I am going to go with your gut feeling that everything else is normal and going to remain positive and look at this finding as a gift And then when it is all behind us, will help him write his book, "How Bladder Stones Saved my Life"-- since that is the reason behind the ultrasound.

Thank you Dr Jeff and Dr Sara. My dog goes for chest x-rays tomorrow and additional bloodwork. One of his team heavily suggests aspirating liver, spleen, and accompanying lymph nodes. Dog's sire had hemangiosarcoma, and I understand doing so can cause them to potentially bleed out "if" this s...

Not sure where to post this, but looking for support as to next step while trying to process. Took my 11/5 old Saluki in for ultrasound of bladder to see if he was still clean from stones 6 months post surgery for stone removal, and to see if Chinese herbs and diet were working. Good news...
