Hello @Dr. Jeff - have you heard of OncoK9 cancer screening for dogs? (OncoK9 – CANDiD Study White Paper) I reached out to my local vet regarding VDI cancer screening but he mentioned that OncoK9 is more accurate.
@Dr. Sara and @Dr. Jeff - Thank you for the thorough explanation. Her BEAM is good and did not itch the entire day (she also got groomed today) until after her snuffle session tonight. I checked her belly area during the day and all looked fine...but tonight, the area appeared reddish again...
I had a Maltese with back leg tremor issues...looking back, snuffle sessions truly helped him with that....I checked my notes, his back leg tremor rarely occurred after we started the snuffle session routine. :)

My intact senior pup has been scratching her belly for two days. I noticed that two of her nipples are a bit swollen (please see photos). I felt her tummy area and don’t feel any lumps. Her last cycle ended in November 2021. Her BEAM has been decent except for...
Thank you all for your input - this raised a question - A constantly hungry dog may have thyroid issues?
I will observe and feel how to proceed with transitioning my dog to be fed just once a day. Yesterday, instead of feeding one small before and one after her snuffle session, I fed one...
@Dr. Jeff - I forgot to mention that her appetite for her first meal has gone down overall - sometimes she seems less hungry and doesn't finish the entire plate less - it's a hit or miss situation...that's another reason contributed to my thinking about just giving her food later in the day...
@GinnyW - You mentioned several times during our past webinars that you feed your pup once a day and on a flexible schedule. I am very interested in getting my dog Hope on this track as well, especially after reading this article by Dr. Becker...
Hello - I recently watched a video by Billy Hoekman of Green Juju (He was with Answers before the change) and he recommended feeding a whole animal (I.e. rabbit with fur) to our dogs. Has anyone here had experience feeding fur? @Dr. Jeff will that work for Hope since she has no teeth?
Thanks for the suggestion, Ginny!
I have a fluffy black dog with black nails...grinding her nails have been a challenge. I do enjoy SO MUCH grooming her so I really aim to be skillful at grinding her nails. I had an old Dremel without the protective cap and I jammed her hair in it ...
Her first meal today would be her second time eating on the platter so I haven’t seen all of those things you mentioned…have not been using it long enough to see a pattern ?.
However, she was taken aback a little when I presented it to her today, as compared to yesterday. It may have something...
Hello! I was searching for a nail grinder online and came across styptic powder....I was wondering if I could use Yunnan Bai Yao in lieu of the powder in case I need to stop bleeding nails? @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff ?
Thanks, Dr. J - Hope's been having on and off soft stool. Yes to all you asked above :) She gets about one hour outdoor fresh air including sniff walk and stroller ride. She is in raw food diet. As for structured water (very interesting!) she gets bone broth every day...with all these in place...
