Hi Debbie! I'm not the dog expert here, but I have a couple of thoughts coming from a little bit different angle. The liver enzymes are mildly elevated, which is a real thing, but not alarmingly so. The urine protein is odd given that her kidney values are normal. Honest Kitchen is a very...

Hi, Daysha, sorry to hear Bella is not doing well. You have given her such a great life and more time than anyone could have hoped! So along with the sadness, please give yourself a big hug for how well she has done with you! A compounding pharmacy will happily put anything in a transdermal...

Oh there's much more they say that's totally ridiculous, but that's a good sample! :)

Hi Marshall! Boone is a real cutie-patootie! I agree, it *could* be a sign of pain, but it may be nothing concerning since his BEAM is otherwise normal. A vet exam to check his teeth, normality of jaw motion, etc. is a good idea. It's interesting that it occurs in that fuzzy almost-asleep state...

For instance, thse statements are not true: “Produces an enzyme.” - not a thing “Barrier around the protein.” - not a thing “Must feed every 20–22 hours.” - fleas can go days if not weeks without feeding “Male fleas don’t bite.” - yes they do

Biologically, this makes no sense. Looks like a massive marketing scam to me.

Both Dr. Jeff and Dr. Christina work with individuals, I'm sure they will chime in! :)

I know what you mean, it's so hard to just "let it be." While we want to be proactive and provide extra support, too much can really confuse things! But the body's wisdom is often all it takes to heal.

Pollen is a common allergen... I might think about pausing that. Barleygrass is known to be a risk factor for urinary issues, and there isn't a real need for it unless it was prescribed for a particular reason. But I just always prefer to simplify as much as possible. The first three you...

Of course he says so, and you (as a Norwegian, since we are all amazing!) are perceptive enough to hear that! 🥰 Any animal can react to anything at any time. He has had a rough go, so no doubt his immune system is a little whacky here and there. Sometimes a cat will become sensitized to...

She was with UGA the last time I saw her, but she has since changed positions and I no longer have current contact info. I hunted around for her too, thinking maybe I could find a "back door," but no luck. Hope you can get hold of her!

Hi Rita! Feline papillomas are usually benign, but can turn nasty later. Can you post a picture of it? They are quite distinctive. I wonder if the vet could do an impression smear of it while she's there for her dental--that's a non-invasive, non-painful test (though the trade-off is that it may...

Meaning it's good? (Some animals' "normal" BEAM is not that great!)

That seems like a long time but how is her BEAM? That's how you tell if it's a real problem or not.

Dr. Susan Wynn is the most holistic of the nutritionists (most of whom are by-the-book, and that book is heavily carb-oriented). I don't know if she is doing individual consultations though, couldn't find anything online to indicate.

Arnica is not a drug, it can (and should) be given right away. It will help jump-start the healing process. If you can just dab a little of the liquid in the corner of the mouth (just on the lips) that is good enough. It just needs to contact the mucous membrane.

Start Arnica immediately. Repeat as needed (signs of pain). IF that doesn't seem to be enough, then you can add loxicam. You can offer regular diet even tonight, and cutting into smaller pieces is perfect.

All Atlantic salmon (Canada, Iceland, Norway, Ireland, Scotland, etc.) are farmed, with all the problems and toxicities associated with farmed fish. Wild-caught Pacific salmon (1/3 of which are hatchery raised) are okay. Canned or lightly cooked are great. Personally I do not recommend feeding...

The risk is for Heinz body anemia in which red blood cells get distorted and then filtered out of the blood and destroyed. In terms of allium family risks, onion powder is worst, then fresh onion, then a distant third garlic powder, then fresh garlic. Onion powder is very strong and it is an...
