Pumpkin 18 year old Maltese/Lhasa Apsa neutered male. 15 lbs. BEAM is 5. Mostly raw, some freeze dried and kibble. Minimal vaccinations/medications I've been giving him Infinite Pet Life Hip and Joint Advanced Formula (Glucosamine 250mg, turmeric, Chondroitin 100 mg, and MSM 100 mg), two...

Thanks, this was helpful. He's doing a bit better, I'm improving his BEAM, and I just started him on some CBD treats. We're also going to go ahead and make an appointment with the holistic vet I mentioned. Thanks for the encouragement and insight.

Pumpkin Age: 16 Lhasa Apso/Maltese Neutered M Home cooked diet + kibble I've been trying over the past 5 months to get homeopathic care for my dog's chronic reverse sneezing and arthritis. He has been prescribed 4 remedies with no results. His arthritis over the past 2 weeks has gotten much...

Thanks for your post ?Hope Bella is well...

Update: Pumpkin's dental went well. They also removed a black mole on him, biopsied it, and it came back non-cancerous ? He took Arnica 1M in lieu of conventional pain medication. He has some arthritic symptoms that I want to tackle next. Limping, difficulty jumping, etc. I'm giving him...

Yes, I mentioned above that I'm already working with a homeopathic vet, Dr. Christine Barrett :)

I'm a bit confused by all the different energy medicine modalities. I already do acupressure, a little bit of Jin Shin Jyustu, flower essences, and crystal healing on him, and he's received Emotion Code before. I guess I'm wondering if I should learn Emotion/Body Code (because family members...

Thank you, Dr. Christina. I am working with Dr. Christine Barrett. We started a few weeks ago.. Pumpkin is a good dog, but to be honest, I get tired of him following me around so much! ☺I love him but I'm wondering if I'm more or a cat person! Maybe some of the velcro-ness is due to the...

His creatine was normal ? She didn't mention the USG, and a urine test was done. <Shakes head>

We're moving forward with the dental. His bloodwork was good enough that the vet felt comfortable. She did say he might have early-stage kidney disease, though ("might" because the sample was "potentially diluted", and he questions whether it's really the "high-meat diet" that may be causing...

I switched him to a home-cooked diet because I was worried about the possibility of salmonella and other diseases in an elderly dog. Do you think that was a good decision? I'm grateful not to have to handle raw meat all the time, that's for sure

Yeah, I remember him talking about it but I don't remember him expressing doubts :/ God Bless 'em all ?

Wait, when you say "good quality raw meats," are you talking about pasture-raised, organic, etc.? So mass-produced meat from Raley's probably isn't good enough, huh? She has a good point about our current food production system having a higher likelihood of bad bacteria than what was in the wild.
