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...

It worked for me Feline Hyperesthesia | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve

Just be aware that Medicus products are not balanced and are best for short-term use.

You probably wouldn't be able to use anything topically, and it would immediately be washed away by saliva anyway. His body should be able to clear the anesthetics with his clean diet and normal support. Flower essences like Crab Apple are also supportive, maybe combine that with Rescue Remedy...

Agreed, even if it's a dog ;) being a tripod is much better than months of suffering with no guarantee of a different result.

I would not apply any topicals. Better if he heals from the inside as mentioned. Certainly flower essences would help him handle the stress of all the changes he's been through. See Stress for a range of possible choices--pick the one that fits the situation and his personality.

That's their protocol. You can ask them to drop the ketamine; it isn't really necessary in this regimen. But they may not be open to changing their regular process.

Just so's ya know, fish oil can cause a blood thinning effect. That's why it's usually stopped before surgery. I had to stop taking my green-lipped mussel oil 72 hours before my knee replacements last year, even though its effect is less than fish. :)

Here's my article about it, including supplement recommendations. https://littlebigcat.com/feline-hyperesthesia/

Oh, definitely do all of this at once... get it over with! Otherwise you just repeat the same amount of pain multiple times. (Ask my sister who had her wisdom teeth removed two at a time and was just as miserable twice, while I had them all out at once and was glad to be done!) That is a...

No, you really must work with a qualified practitioner. Lyme is absolutely *not* something you can treat yourself.

The dose is 2-4 mg per pound of body weight. It may sound like a lot but dogs have quite a high tolerance for antihistamines. Give 1 hour before travel. Its effects should last a good four hours or more.

Hi Pat, normally the lab also does a visual scan of the slide to estimate platelet numbers when clumping is present to affirm they are adequate. That should be on the report somewhere. Torbugesic would not have any effect on a CBC. I have never practiced in a Lyme area so haven't treated it...
