    Pyometra

    Oh, sweet Jesus, no.....That's awful - but you gave her everything, and she thanks you for it. Wish I were there to hug you and hold you.

    Pyometra

    Ummm, I don't think she'll need them, really. Start with the Arnica, as Dr. Jeff said. Give her a dose following the surgery. After that, whenever she seems uncomfortable, maybe at 12 hour intervals for the first day or two. Her little body will know how to obviate the troubles, given the assist...

    For fractious behavior

    Getting her weight down will be a huge factor in both her healing and her eventual activity level. My integrative vet uses custom braces - and most times no surgery - for long term healing. These, of course, take most of the worry out of re-injuring as well as promoting healthy activity. I like...

    Pyometra

    My disclaimer, per usual: I am not a professional homeopath, nor a vet, But my experience would lead me towards proceeding with the surgery. As Dr. Jeff has remarked in the past, anesthesias are much less traumatic these days, and close monitoring should facilitate working around her heart...

    Post-Dental Surgery: Holistic Care

    I have sometimes administered remedies by wetting the inside of the ear flap with the Q-tip. No worry about size of dose; just get it wet.

    Some questions on new bloodwork results for my cat, Teddy

    I'm wondering if anyone would consider using the TCM herb Dang Gui - angelica - for spleen, blood building, etc. in cats. We've seen some great results with it in dogs and horses, many of whom seem to actually crave it - lick it up, eat out of the jar, etc. Perhaps Dr. Christina can comment.

    1-1/2 yr GoldenRetriever in heat cycle

    Pardon me, but it seems you may have misunderstood me: An OSS, or Ovary Sparing Spay, preserves all of those valuable growth and temperament hormones, just as if she were whole. I agree 100% with your breeder that full development is necessary for great health and longevity. It makes no...

    1-1/2 yr GoldenRetriever in heat cycle

    Yeah; just WAIT! She's not done until she's done, and generalities are not reliable; every bitch is a bit different. Some bleed, some do not, much. Your best indicator is the behavior of the boys - I can remember several instances where I goofed up, mismanaged gates, and had to tackle the...

    Ingredients In Chinese Herbal Formula for Feline Hyperthyroidism

    Oh, I meant "hyPER-T", of course. Not currently a cat person, so just made an oversight.

    Ingredients In Chinese Herbal Formula for Feline Hyperthyroidism

    Boy, I think that's a really great article:) I like how she lays out the various options, and cautions how important observation is to success. But what I get from it is that a careful classical homeopathic approach - and this is a given, for me - requires incisive monitoring and observation...

    Mast cell tumor home therapy

    What you said there just makes me think that overall improvement is an answer for him: More health, more raw diet, more love, more interest - and some incisive homeopathic treatment to guide his little body to resolve these issues. Even the tumor - especially the tumor! - is a sign of less than...

    Freeze dried hearts for dogs

    I will jump in, just because you need an answer right now:) Buy Arnica 1M, or as high a potency you can find. Give one pill the morning of, then one right after, as soon as you can get access to her. Then repeat a dose perhaps the next day, and after that if you see the need. It won't hurt, and...

    Skin tag grown

    This comes close to home:) My view of skin tags is that they are the body's way of getting rid of surplus, possibly nasty, garbage, from various metabolic processes, which are in themselves not particularly harmful or in need of attention. In other words, I sort of rejoice in seeing them...

    Accidentally gave feral cat another dose of homeopathic medicine way too soon. Is this an overdose?

    I think he'll be just fine:) This is not egregious enough, both in terms of frequency and potency, to cause an issue. Just don't give it again for a while - ideally, until you can clearly see if it has made a difference. Report back here on anything that seems related, good or bad. You have done...

    Experiences with Teef, Plaque Off, or Deer Velvet for cat dental health?

    Yep, known about Fragaria forever, but also never could pin results on it. And, as Dr. Christina said, I would never use a remedy so routinely. Clark's MM cites enough negative effects to keep me away from it in any case. But thanks much for your input and experience, Joan:)

    I yo dog with sudden diarrhea

    So, this, to me, would be an indication for a redose of Ars 30c. It won't hurt, and it should once again relieve his diarrhea. If symptoms persist regardless of the new dose, I'd say to consult a homeopathic vet and get an overview of his whole presentation.

    I yo dog with sudden diarrhea

    I would say not to redose the Ars UNLESS symptoms get worse again. I'm not the homeopath, but was always taught to watch and wait. I believe the body cannot react to the remedy unless it "needs" it. Great work you're doing; he'll be fine soon:)

    Chronic Ear Infection Help! Hematoma Formed..

    Demitri, yes, there is much you can do to help, but nothing, most likely, that will affect him by next week:) That said, you should look at this as a general, global, health issue - it's just a reflection of his inner state, and simply trying to treat the symptoms - his ears - will not bring...

    Gum Cyst-Canine

    Well, yeah.,.,.I'd try soft but complex structures, such as duck or chicken "frames" - the ribs and keel bones left in a big piece. Poultry necks, bashed up a bit with a large knife or cleaver. Very tough hunks of meat that are too large to swallow - won't hurt if he does, though:) Perhaps a...
