It's wonderful that you are caring - but I stand by my recco: perhaps a communicator for the guy as well as Tyson. Once a month, for owner or dog, is just not in either of their best interests. If you can't do better, then at least "speak" to them, one way or another. Engage Tyson in some sort...
@MaryF Diet sounds fine to me. I'd bet on emotional upset and sense of duty, if deep and invisible. Could you take the guy elsewhere for a short walk? Perhaps a dog food store? A nice park? I'd also sit down with him, get him comfy, and explain to him what's going on, that he is still loved by...
In my experience - with cats, as I grew up - it seems that overreacting is an automatic response, sort of "just in case it's terrible". A real fear, yes, but not a deep one. Yes, aconite, but only if needed. I'll bet she's getting over it by now:)
As far as homeopathy goes, I see a lot in the case that SHOULD be addressable - with a positive and permanent result. What is needed is very circumspect case-taking resulting in the most appropriate choice, and the most apt remedy, administered in a careful and individual way, following the...
I'll jump in to say that, in my experience, nothing has the potential to do as much as a well-chosen homeopathic remedy, which will work much more deeply and incisively than any supplemental diet item or even the strong drugs - and without any further trauma or disruption. My feeling is that she...
Dear Ann, they come to teach, and he surely did that - his gift to you, with all the good and bad moments. You are a changed person for this experience, in the best way. Your next dog will benefit from all you learned, about medicine and about love. Rest long and easy; you did a terrific job...
...and give serious thought to working with a homeopath. One never knows if a total remission is possible, but it certainly could make him feel better and give him more good days.
No, first I've heard of them. Looks just lovely - clean, fresh, nice combinations. I eat raw, mostly, and wouldn't be a bit afraid of these offerings. Pricy, but what isn't?
I agree with Dr. Jean. Paper towel is not made to have much integrity. I think it could easily become amorphous and stool-colored - those bile-based pigments are quite strong. I doubt we will see much of anything identifiable as towel. I suppose we could do an experiment by soaking a bit of...
Were it I, I'd just wait and see what comes out, at the normal rate she poops after a meal. I'd wait a reasonable time to see that poop, and evaluate from there. I don't think an xray is warranted, at least right now. Paper towel doesn't have much structural integrity, so I wouldn't expect a...
Were it I, I would go with Hyp, although Arn is great, too. But instead of mushing it into food, dissolve a pellet in a bit of water, perhaps 2 ounces or so. Then succuss (that means rap the container/bottle on a hard surface, or stir it if in a glass) the solution ten times, and give some - a...
I, too, have reservations about silver - internally, at least. Seems to me to be suppressive of natural processes, which, if anything, need to be encouraged/supported. I do have some "sovereign silver" gel around, which I might use for external and vulnerable wounds such as cut toes...
No, it's not at all the same. And further investigation reveals a whole lot of garden-variety reviews and testaments all over the board: great, bad, upsets my digestion, helps with mentals, can't live without it....
If anyone has Science, I wouldn't mind knowing about it.
Milk thistle, OTOH...
So, my more-or-less trusted vet has recommended "Sam-e or similar liver support" for my boy. And, as far as I can see there is nothing "similar" out there. He has no particular affliction or bloodwork indication, and of course eats all-raw, lots of organs, good Omegas, etc. I'd appreciate any...
I would look into TEEF!, as explained in our last week's webinar with Dr. Stein. The science behind this product is very strong, IMO. The webinar is, of course, available on our website.
Yep, I agree with Christina that there are many quirks and symptoms in here indicating competent and thorough homeopathic treatment. The insults and ensuing behaviors are piling up and will take some sorting, so do get started soon. Also I would urge a switch to an all-raw, non-kibble, non-dried...
Ann, your care of him, as well as your sharing with us, has been truly inspirational. His little soul could not ask for more understanding and love.
We will be watching and sending love to you both. Know that this process will be easier for Buddy than for you. He has the strength and the divine...
Ummm, there IS no "wrong thing", IMO. All the advice you have gotten, and all the strategies you have employed, are valid and valuable to some extent. That said, I would back off of a lot, if only because they are complicating the picture.
There is no "ill health" here, only a little battle...
