@Dr. Jeff his hematoma appears to have gotten a little bigger. It doesn't seem to be blocking his ear canal but not sure what to do in between now and Dr. Judy on Monday. I'm, of course, worrying..
@Dr. Jeff All we feed is raw in this house, the last time Xander ate anything processed was the kibble his breeder mixed in with the raw meat. We don't even give our dogs "treats" from a package - they get marrow bones, bully sticks, or chicken feet.
When Brynn started having seizures this...
@Dr. Jeff thank you! That really puts my mind at ease. I've officially limited his meals for the next few days to bone broth, pumpkin, and coconut oil. We literally have no idea what he's allergic or sensitive to and the only canine elemental diet on the market is purina where the second...
Hi @Dr. Sara thank you that makes a lot of sense. He errs on the more atopic side of things and now that you mention it, maybe he is having a reaction to the permethrin - I did consider this but wasn't entirely sure since I was getting mixing information on the causation of the hematoma. To be...
Hi @Dr. Jeff I know it has been awhile - we have been really going through some stuff this summer and Xander seemed to be doing well.
We have been working with Dr. Harmon, which has been great, but I believe there are some obstacles to curing him pertaining to our home - another chat for...
Hi Dr. Jeff - I realized that I had schedule something from 3-4, are you available before 3 or after 4 tomorrow to reschedule our chat? I want to update you on some things regardless.
Hi Dr Jeff!
Before we chatted today, I wanted to let you know that I called Dr. Jeff Levy and he is not currently taking on any new cases. He said I could check back in a month but I do think we need to get Xander started on something in the interim. I believe his situation to be too dire to...
Hi Dr. Jeff - sorry today didn't work. But yes lets aim for 1:30 on Thursday and maybe we can discuss our options further then. I did dose Xander today with sulphur 30c as a start.
I scheduled with you for next week. If there is any other specifics you would like for me to share, please let me know.
I am trying my hardest not to give him things like Benadryl but I’m so tempted just so we can give him some relief. We do put CBD in his nightly milk which seems to quell his...
My 2YO male GSD, Xander is reaching a breaking point.
We got his results back from AnimalBiome. Fortunately no pathogenic bacteria, just poor diversity and low populations of anti-inflammatory microbes. Since I do a lot of GI health in my own practice, I worked him up to find suitable means...
Yes! We did a test through 5Strands when our female, Brynn, developed seizures; we wanted to ascertain if there were any toxic metals or what not in our environment since we have well water. We also tested for environmental and food allergies, too. 5 Strands tests through hair, not sure if that...
Thanks, @Dr. Jeff; we're managing okay, still very fresh and pretty painful.
I only have Ignatia 30c and have dosed it roughly 2-3 times per day. He is not eating as often, foregoing his midday meal. He seems extra mopey and lacking general interest. Ignatia seems to get him a little more...
Happy (belated) holidays!
I've written about my Xander before, but I can't locate the thread, here is some background.
Xander is 2yo intact male GSD and is raw fed.
Ear infections first started at 5 months old at first vet visit for rabies (January 2020), treated (unsuccessfully) with a round...
Thank you both! He seemed to only not be weight bearing for the first day or so and appears to be faring well with it otherwise, I'm surprised because it does seem painful.
Hi! We noticed my guy lifting his rear right paw up, but still pretty active. Palpated the leg and performed passive range of motion without issue. Upon further inspection, we noticed part of one of his pads was ripped clear off.
He is eating, drinking, pooping, peeing and otherwise normal...
You know, I thought the same thing! We had given her some peanut butter with CBD in it the last couple of days and she's not the cleanest of eaters. Maybe some peanut butter got in there?
Thank you for the quick response :)
Hi!
It feels like one thing after the other in my house. Our 8-month old female GSD unspayed, unvaccinated, has some stringy discharge from her nose, I've attached a picture below (the outside of her nose is dirt, not crusties ? ) She's eating normally, active, and overall otherwise normal.
Do...
Thank you Christina! I will check her out tonight! I looked into both of them and a referral from somebody local to me. Its hard to figure out who is the "best" so I am praying/meditating on that.
Unfortunately, Brynn had another seizure last night at just about the exact same time as the one the night prior - after being more than normal all day. This one didn't last for as long - I want to say 45-90 seconds and was much quicker to orient.
Knowing that un-treated UTIs can contribute to...
