    Medication needed for blood draw

    Well, I think she was better off before ;-) The doctor did say she looked healthier, coat was good and he did not complain about her weight. However, this is a setback and in my mind I do not see this as a good outcome. Her vet records from the shelter also indicate she was cooperative. I feel...

    Medication needed for blood draw

    I took Blossom for a blood draw today and vet visit to look at miscellaneous things. When time for the blood draw it could not be done. Since I got Blossom in Sept of 2022, she has always allowed blood draw and she has had many many due to questionable conditions needing retesting, now resolved...

    Anal gland odor

    Dr. Todd. I thought I recall here a member using him with success. I do not recall the odor when I first got her Sept 2022. I think I noticed it after the first heat she had after her OSS. The heat was Dec 2023 and the OSS was 10-30-23. I am kind of losing faith after trying several...

    Anal gland odor

    Hi Dr. Christina I gave Blossom a bath today and I didn't really see any inflammation back there. She doesn't seem bothered by anything there. But I have made an appointment next wednesday to go over some of these things. I found an easy way to examine under her tail. Last night when I tried...

    Anal gland odor

    I have been befuddled for many months as to what the odor was coming from Blossom seemingly smelled when she is excited. i never smelled anal glands before but the reputation is the act of expressing them is really foul. NOW I know the odor.... Today I figured it out finally after many many...

    Skin tag grown

    She is due for a chem panel and a vet visit. I have been trying to clean up her diet and cut back even more (she gets no processed treats anymore) so she has less body burden. With winter she has not gotten as many walks so maybe her detox has not been so great in March when this thing grew...

    Skin tag grown

    One other thing, the homeopath texted me back and said to give one dose of silicea.... I do like the Paul D Arco suggestion and NOW products in general.

    Skin tag grown

    I was concerned about Blossom (5-6 Pitbull with her hormones OSS) I took her to the vet Feb 8th and showed her something under her fur that looked like a chia seed size wise and color (I think) She had it for a long long time and I always had to push away the fur to see it. At first i thought...

    Broken and worn canine teeth on left side

    Homeopath is Dr. Todd. So I have not started the arsenicum yet (bad me--late to the party). Should I wait and text him first? She has some tartar too--- I don't mind having these homeopathic remedies here even if I don't use it in this case. After Blossom had her surgery, he gave me Arnica 10...

    Broken and worn canine teeth on left side

    I spoke with the homeopath the third week of January just to update since her OSS surgery Oct 30th.The only thing I was reporting was some periodic diarrhea and more excitement in the car along with some tiredness walking outside that I was wondering if it was due to the progesterone part of her...

    Broken and worn canine teeth on left side

    I took Blossom (4-5 years old) to a new vet who looked in her mouth and reported broken and worn canine teeth on left side. She has seen 3 vets in the past and nobody mentioned this so probably unlikely that she had these on adoption in September of 2022? I would assume any vet would notice...

    Odors in female dog after OSS

    Ok, thank you. Detox is good I guess. I think I read somewhere, cannot recall where since I read so much but maybe from her anal glands when she gets excited. I did not think it was from there because I never had my dogs anal glands expressed. I will keep a keener eye out for when where and...

    Odors in female dog after OSS

    Blossom has had her first heat since her OSS this past fall.Still not sure of her age--my guess may be 4 closer to 5 now The heat started around the end of November and early December, seeing the personality changes, flagging tail, other dogs attracted and she leaving her mark etc.... during...

    Base of toenails red

    Thank you Dr. Christina... Yes I will make an appointment for a check but probably wouldn't be able to get in immediately. She has an appointment with a new vet (actually the one JJ went to for his laser therapy who diagnosed his irregular heartbeat) a week from friday. I also talk to the...

    Base of toenails red

    I have been noticing Blossom's base of a nail or two or so are red. I just googled it and see it CAN be something like a fungus? I guess I have to take her to the vet now but can I have some information on what causes this. She is not licking or seemingly bothered. I have been washing her feet...

    Question About Steve's Real Food Study About High-Pressure Processing on Raw Meat Diets

    I switched to Vital Essentials for a while and at the same time continued to feed "some" Open Farm gently cooked. She developed diarrhea and not sure from which food---maybe both. I highly suspect the Open Farm. I have talked to some of the more knowledgeable people at the pet food store and...

    How to pin down cause of diarrhea

    Blossom has had some diarrhea the past couple weeks, loose wet stool/diarrhea. How do I know what could be the offender in terms of food. Diarrhea right after eating or diarrhea the next day. I put her on Vital Essentials turkey and beef along with gently cooked Open Farm which she is used to...

    Urotherapy for dogs?

    I was interested to know if this topic has been covered for healing and for general health. I did try it a few times with Blossom putting some of her own urine in her food. It was curious to me since we just watched a cancer webinar recently but nobody ever mentions this. I find it has potential...

    High urinary PH but no infection

    I had Blossom's urine retested and her pH was fine. I was giving her the Vitamin C and goat milk cranberry and she loves petting first thing in the morning after her out...It makes her REALLY happy and all wiggly. So she is doing fine. Her urine was "hazy" usually it is "cloudy" I asked the vet...

    Poop stains being left on carpet and sleeping areas

    I noticed Blossom has been having poop stains on my carpets and the covers to her sleeping areas. Why is this. Today there was an accident in the house. I do not think she went yesterday or today because of the rain and I knew soon as I walked in the house something was up. It was more of a cow...
