I'd suggest that the skin is the body's largest - and likely most effective - organ of elimination. I'd feed him well, love him a lot, and stand back:), at least for the time being.

Wow; just terrific! Anyone who thinks we are full of woo-woo needs to pay big attention to this article on mTOR. I can personally vouch for these principles having made a huge difference in both my dogs' and my own health. Thank you, Dr. Jeff!

Aloe would be great. Not messy or greasy, and edible, too.

In the last mentioned case, the technique to use would be to hold the nail itself between thumb and forefinger and trim beyond that where it sticks out. Again, it doesn't take much at this stage - just a touch.

I agree majorly with Nancy! Try to do them incrementally - I mean REALLY incrementally: Touch, reward. Touch, reward. Use a grinder, and do one at a sitting - MAYBE two, but DON"T push it! Give the best treats you can imagine, and use them ONLY for this. Change them up if she loses interest or...

It might help to think of vomiting as you had begun to do - it's a normal reaction to certain stimuli - not dangerous, and not signifying a problem or onset of disease. Dogs toss up quite easily, and most times will eat it back up - this is not harmful in itself, as often the meal just needs...

Oh, he's home:) I told them I wouldn't leave without him, brought camping gear in my truck - the clinic is a two-hour drive - and insisted upon waiting, no matter how long it took:) We were there about ten hours... I think I exhibited the suitable amount of expertise to impress them..... Oh...

Just to say: my big dog has just undergone an abdominal surgery, for which the vets gave an astonishing number of drugs. I relied upon Arnica 10M, before and a couple of doses after, skipped all the controlled substances, and monitored carefully. He bounced back quickly, exhibiting no pain or...

I can well imagine this is the case:) Somewhere in between, or some of both. Might be worth looking at what she had eaten, when she last relieved herself, or any other changes or variables. For both myself and my dog, I would hope that this is met with great tolerance and forbearance:)

And what she "gave" you was a super chance at learning! She is a complex and both delicate and tough creature, and a lovely example of how females think. Having had a tough girl like this once, I can relate and rejoice with you:) ginny, and Yuji

I've cried repeatedly over the book and your words. The book is on my nightstand, and is a constant source of perspective and inspiration. I would have written ever so many reviews, but I do not have accounts with any of the named concerns. I spread the word regardless, though: just yesterday I...

Oh, yes! Yipping, growling, all four feet going. Not uncommon in my house, through three big dogs.

This little guy found you in order to live, yes - but also to teach you, and you have learned to an amazing extent. You will carry the lessons you are learning for the rest of your life, and any creature, human or animal, who encounters you will learn and benefit, too. Whatever Jerome's fate...

I would have some reservations about rawhide, depending on the source and composition. Many of the commercial products are cured with formaldehyde. Some research should uncover alternative items made without disturbing ingredients. My all-time favorite, of course, is/are real bones, more or less...

We've been green tripe fans for decades - see www.greentripe.com. And just lately we've been very dependent on it, as my big boy had developed an enlarged prostate which required a soft diet to allow for defecation. While we are dealing with the issue, he has been eating a lot of tripe, alone or...

Umm, change only one thing at a time??? I'd throw up, too, with that diet. Yes, I'm being facetious, but can we feed this wolfy guy some real meat? I think this is a transient condition, and not serious, but he does need more appropriate nutrition. What deficiency showed up in the bloodwork...

I second the advice to stick with classical homeopathy - and I would "get there" by cleaning out all those other supplements and food adjuncts. A big "don't go there..." for the Cerenia, too. She needs to show you, and you need to stand back and observe. I don't get the sense she is in mortal...

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...
