    Senior Male Dog struggling with eating, balance, anxiety, nausea and inconsistent bowels

    Hi, I’m sorry to hear about Ali, These are just some thoughts I had after reading your post… Some of what you describe sounds like a vestibular event, repeated vomiting, wobbling or inability to walk or stand. Cerenia can have a hangover period and can contribute to balance issues. I...

    Kidney questions

    Hi all, could have questions about a pup with kidney failure. She weighs 14lbs, how much fluid can we give safely per day 50? 100? Should we assume she needs a phosphorus binder? Is it a can’t hurt, probably helps kind of addition? What about calcitrol (I think that’s what it’s called) to...

    Female Dog, Lab- 9 years old, chronic uti's, struvite crystals/stones, with Cushing's disease

    You could use uva ursi, cranberry and d-mannose on a rotating basis. It works pretty well for my pup who has a juvenile vulva. There are raw diets for pups with Cushing and they can be tailored to help prevent crystals. I’m just not that familiar with them, but I’m sure you’ll get a lot of...

    Limping Pup

    Good morning- I have received the 10m Arnica and gave her a dose last evening. How should I be administering this? I have not used the higher potencies before. I would say she was more subdued this morning, but seemed to be walking a bit better. Thank you, Melissa

    Limping Pup

    Thank you for responding. I had used Arnica, but only in 30c—I did order the 10m and it should arrive today. BEAM has been great, I think she’s like I don’t need this leg anyway. For me I want to get her to a place where I can strengthen these muscles, so she stops injuring herself. I got...

    Limping Pup

    Hi all, I’d love some input here. Emmy is a crazy gal-she explodes to bark at the mailman, slides into walls and jukes like a pro while playing ball at warp speed. I try to throw short, create obstacles to slow her down etc. , but recently she strained her back leg. The doggie chiro said...

    Doggie Dementia - Does your dog have signs?

    We used scent for our Springer who had vision issues. Any consistent scent to set pathways helped her move about easier, which may help with confidence. I am a big fan of chiropractic in older dogs to keep all the nerves communicating as well as possible. Engagement contributes to happiness...

    Kidney Failure

    Hi Dr. Jeff, The vet who did the panel recommended euthanasia. Dr. Hall who owns the clinic suggested trying a few other things based on Fiona’s energetic presentation. Unfortunately, it was just more meds. I do think he is open to working with a holistic vet. I’ll check out the vet finder...

    Kidney Failure

    Thank you for replying. I have already done 1, 3, and 4. It was her BEAM that saved her from being euthanized based on the numbers. I’ll have her check out the online holistic vet finder—that is very helpful! Fiona’s Mom is going to start giving fluids at home. Does that help the body clear...

    Rapid Shallow Breathing

    My dog had a chondrosarcoma in his nose, we found it by seeing a mass press down on the hard palate in his mouth. Has anyone looked in your pups mouth or nose? I find it concerning he wont drink, maybe the Vets here would have more suggestions for that symptom. I hope you find your answers...

    Kidney Failure

    Good afternoon- A friend of mine has a 8 year old female sheltie who started to have kidney issues about a year ago. Now the vet is saying the kidneys have failed. I know sometimes diet can work miracles and I did suggest that, but since the diagnosis she has been feeding Hills Kidney diet...

    Unusual posturing

    I felt like it might be that his gut is so out of whack it is causing inflammation. This reminds me of vestibular more than seizures. I just wanted to see what you all thought too and if any of you had had a pet that displayed the same kind of issue. Thanks again!!! Melissa

    Unusual posturing

    I know he was a street dog for 10 years. He came into rescue heartworm positive and was treated for that condition. He has GI upsets every so often, and I would guess has been on a few rounds of antibiotics or anti-diarrheals for it. It started late in October and was mostly before bed, now it...

    Unusual posturing

    Hello, A friend has a foster dog that has started to have some posturing behavior. It gets worse at night. Has anyone seen this before? I don’t want to call them seizures, so I chose posturing behavior ? Thank you, Melissa

    UTI-Does it need antibiotics?

    Hi all, So right after I saw the blood I did start her on the Uva Ursi, cranberry, and the astragalus I had on hand. I posted my question on here and then did some research within HA!. I did read about using homeopathics for the possible bladder infection and I chose Nux Vomica because it fit...

    UTI-Does it need antibiotics?

    Hi there- I am posting here first, then I'll explore what has already been offered on this subject. Just a few minutes ago, I noticed that after using the bathroom, Emmy, my female had a slightly pink watery substance on her back leg feathering and around her lady parts. I am assuming she...
