What he said.... There are all sorts and levels of "homeopaths" out there, with varying levels of understanding about the nature of healing. So, that said, diet is likely not the cause of his symptoms, although it can appear to be when initially changed, as the body "tries it on" to see if it...
Is there vaccination history? I would consider consulting a well-qualified homeopathic practitioner, in any case. And I would continue to try to get her to eat raw meat, perhaps presented as treats or in other disguises. You have her whole life to get this right, but now is a good time to start...
Just read the sample reviews on the PetSumer site: my instincts seem to be right on the money when judging foods, and for the relatively uninitiated feeders this info is just invaluable. I'm with Dr. Jeff here - no surprise - "germs" are there to to make us stronger, if anything, and live...
Not a vet; not a communicator, but my feeling is that she needs peace and comfort and security in her food supply - in other words, a single stable supply of one nutritious food. My choice would be, hate to say it - grassfed beef. If she likes this, you can keep it up for some time - like...
Dr. Jeff, thanks for explaining this dosing once again. It's sometimes difficult for folks to get past the idea of the "energetic" approach which defines homeopathy. Folks, please pay attention, so as not to waste the possibilities in this healing art.
If you do nothing else ever with...
Lisa, you did great by him, and learned a heap along the path. He will always be with you, and everything he taught will live on to help others. Thank you, and Punk thanks you, for alll you did and learned. All our love!
I agree with both Dr. Jeff's suggestions - but my first thought is that she needs a more canine-appropriate diet: meat, and less carbs. This should also help with the thyroid levels. This needn't be health-food level stuff; even supermarket beef, lamb, etc. will be OK for starters. But a decent...
Well, I'm a great believer in variety and maintaining dietary flexibility. So I would tend to not be so strict about intervals between switching - feed what you've got, and then feed something else. Switch up as often as every day, or hang with an item she likes for a few days. Unless she is a...
Some remedy "pictures" are more obvious than others:), so not a surprise when two homeopaths recognize a remedy in a case. It's also important to let the chosen remedy work fully, not repeating or changing until progress slows or stops. The energy each imparts is unique, and, once given - maybe...
Found myself reviewing "fear" remedies, as I was driving around today... I remember helping a few dogs, way back before I had the proper respect:) Worked, though...Ever notice that even THINKING about giving a remedy can produce a nice result? Gotta love homeopathy.
The wafers are from PetLab, just called Probiotic Chews. He is also getting, alternatively, Animal Biome's Gut Maintenance Plus, a small capsule which I choose to open into his food. This one doesn't produce an odor:) Yeah, the PetLab wafers did their thing again the other day: today I drove...
Honestly, only a monster would insist upon vax for these guys. Perhaps you can find a vet who would write an exemption for them, on health issues. Homeopathic remedies do not, can not, confer "immunity" - although chances are that if these guys have had previous vaccinations they are still quite...
I'd think that you need to figure out if there is anything you might discover that would make a difference right now... It sounds as if he has the best possible quality of life already, with your lovely treatments and his activities. What are the various discoveries, and where would they lead...
I get my tripe products from greentripe.com. I have known these guys since day one of their business, almost literally, and have followed their evolution to the present dedicated facility which does, in fact, use only grassfed tripes straight from the butcher. The meat, by law, cannot be...
You'd have to ask them re the MSG... I don't know if this could be pertinent, but my dog's breath goes off each time he eats his favorite probiotic wafers. Clears up in two days, doesn't affect his teeth - and other chews don't produce that particular odor.
I've mentioned this previously, but...
I'm pretty impressed with Raw Wild:) I can live with the tiny bit of supplementation - but, heck, I just think I can do as well much less expensively. It's lovely quality meat, though...
A couple of things come to mind: If you tweak her diet to achieve a result you will be masking a predilection valuable in prescribing an appropriate homeopathic remedy. She needs to present just as she is, under reasonably normal conditions.
And, along these lines, a well-chosen homeopathic...
