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:)

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...

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...

Reptile stores! Your local herpetorium caters to folks with critters that eat whole, live or frozen rodents. I haven't been into reptiles since I lived quite close to a well-known herpetorium, but I used to source mice, etc. Many herps reject dead food, but frozen is easy and available.

I am so terribly impressed by this post that I am replying with absolutely no professional credentials to back up my thoughts. That said, the l-131 approach seems to me to be rather much at this time. You have already changed the water - very important for you all - and have her on a reasonably...

VERY cool! Umm, I remember way back observing or reading that many domestic carnivores take after their wild buddies and dissect out the parts of critters they would rather not eat, either because they were distasteful, like gall bladders, or just too bony or furry to be appetizing. I've...

We are using Teef! and also PetLab's ProBright. AND he has a dental scheduled for March 19th, as I don't wish to watch and wait to see if the crap falls off. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, I have quit all the plain vegetable matter, short of treats and bits, betting that his dietary adjuncts will...

Yes! Big, raw, whole ones. And we have many others in our co-op that use these as well. Most dogs seem to love them, and they are full of great nutrition. These are a west coast item; your situation may vary as to availability. I also feed canned ones in water, occasionally in olive oil, plus...

Just a teensy thought: he could have exposed himself to more salt than usual while at the seashore. Maybe not drinking the water, but sniffing, licking, or just inhaling the sea salts. Even if this weren't enough to physically act, there could be a response to that environment which made his...

Great result! I think I would not go up in dosage for such a small customer:) Ths is not a drug, but a naturally occurring hormone which is used by the body to produce more specific sex-linked hormones. More would not turn her into Charles Atlas, but may not be needed to produce optimal levels...

When I was a kid our city zoo - San Francisco - made a big deal out of big cat feeding times, audience encouraged. They got readily identifiable and large chunks of animal, likely horse, and made a nice display of growling and slobbering over them. Ah, progress, making life worse for us all...

I agree, on the sources of predilection for dental issues, of course. But this boy is almost 11, and had no significant dental issues, other than one cracked molar - the risks of bones - we extracted at about 7. His last exam was admittedly cursory - just a look inside by my vet and me - but did...

A little bit sideways here, but I sorta needed to vent: I wrote about using Teef! and ProBright, but some careful examination disclosed some really horrid spots on the small molars, thick, dark, crusty - these were not so bad at the last physical, so I was shocked. I have already booked a...

Gosh darn it, I'm going to be a party pooper and say that if I had a cat presently, no way would I encourage him to go outside, especially unsupervised. So much can go sideways. Would you consider constructing him a "catio" or other sort of outdoor exposure? And, also, increase the amount of...

Yeah, but not on cats:) It's added to drinking water, so doesn't take any application. In my limited experience, all of these products, whether added to food, smeared on teeth, or however, are gonna need some time to work. I thought Teef! was working right away, and then I didn't see the amazing...

My money's on the drops. What, exactly, were you aiming to fix in them? Were they sick? Had symptoms? In any case, I think just stopping the drops and waiting for a couple of days should fix the problem, whether from the drops or the vet's table. You might try some very favorite food, in a small...

We are also concerned about "salmon poisoning". This is a bacterium which lives in a liver fluke which in turn lives in a freshwater snail. So any salmon which travels up into fresh water - ALL of them unless interrupted by dams and hatcheries - can pick up this disease. It seems that any fish...

'Nother Parvaid person here; none of my dogs, but a few others I "treated". It is a nice soothing remedy even if there is no infection, too. Can you say "preventive"?

We eat TJ's canned Alaskan line-caught salmon, and also Kroger canned seine-caught (Thailand) mackerel. Yuji gets a few ounces of either in his dinner on occasion, with other items. But most times, he gets a big California sardine, fresh and raw. These come flash-frozen by the case, and are...

I'd say yes, on the bones. These are tiny and relatively soft, and should yield to her molars - and if not, quite, they are small enough in diameter to pass through the intestines, and softened further by the digestive enzymes. Great job, you two:)
