    Medication toxicity?

    DHEA (dihydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor hormone, out of which the body can manufacture the sex-linked hormones, which typically enhance strength and energy, "tightening" up the reproductive and urinary function. So, an interesting choice for a kittycat - and I am following. Not sure how...

    Dental cleaning for a senior dog

    I'd love to see him on some decent, species-appropriate food - raw or mostly, varied, including meats, veggies, good oils, probiotics, etc. Even agt this stage of his life you can do miracles with appropriate nutrition. I'll bet you see a different dog, once his teeth are no longer bothering...

    Anti aging new drug??

    Yep....been doing massive research. We were already part of the Dog Aging Project, and I subsequently discovered Matt Kaberlein's work with the Triad project. They wouldn't have us b/c he is limiting it to fully vaxed and neutered animals. But my own MD was totally on board with MY using it, and...

    Anti aging new drug??

    Can't find much on this, except for "loss of heterozygosity", which seems only tangential at best. Nothing on cancer cure or remission, etc. OTOH, Yuji and I are both experimenting with a more reliable longevity approach which has achieved consistent results of up to a 30% increase in lifespan...

    Just recently blind 8 year old stubborn dog

    We must disagree, then, on the value of nutrition. I could not believe more in the power of appropriate food to nourish and foster the optimum function of every part and organ. From there, we can go on and deal with influences of various kinds upon that function. And I do not find it difficult...

    Just recently blind 8 year old stubborn dog

    Yes, many vision issues can be improved, with good habits and excellent nutrition. In humans, bad childhood habits and poor recognition of existing issues account for a lot of lifetime malformation and compromise. I think we'd need to observe carefully to determine compromised vision in our...

    Infected anal gland for cat

    She's right! Excellent job of reading symptoms and following the healthy path:)

    Take this amazing vaccine quiz (about people)

    Whoa; that was depressing! Coulda guessed it - well, DID, actually. Glad to be old enough to have missed a lot of the madness - but not all of it. People; you gotta pay attention to what they do to you, as well as to your animals. There is absolutely NO justification for any of these...

    Urotherapy for dogs?

    I will suspend disbelief - but this would be a big "no" for me. Nothing wrong with it, no "ick"factor - but I don't see a huge benefit. There are ever so many simple good things to improve vitality I just wouldn't see the need. And this practice has nothing to do with classical homeopathy...

    Rabies titer

    A titer value is largely a measure only of exposure - and recent exposure at that. A low value only means there has not been exposure - or response. I'd say no need for the shot - I can say that; I'm not the vet:)

    Just recently blind 8 year old stubborn dog

    Restlessness, mopiness, troubled sleep, moving about to find comfort. And of course any localized or "point" discomfort upon touch. Coming to you with complaints. Loss of appetite. That said, your homeopath can help determine how to address the pain in perspective to the totality of complaints...

    Cat with Broken and Loose Tooth and Shattered Jaw

    I've seen multiple totally-three-legged cats who own their universes:) I honestly don't think he will miss that toe/metatarsal at all, down the road. Animals, and we can see this most clearly in our companions, just DEAL with their circumstances - do what they can, and not miss what isn't there...

    Herding Dog - Limping

    And I'll jump in to say that I think she's got this covered:) There is probably some tissue trauma from all the fooling around, but that should heal without further intervention. Some gentle massage, full of good intention, and perhaps some heat on the limb... Don't fuss too much; just visualize...

    Nail Trimming

    VERY gradually:) Start in a relaxed mode, with lots of the customary massage, petting, handling of every body part, with lovely rewards - and lots of loving explanation: "Now, I'm going to hold your little paw...." and just gently hang onto it for a few seconds, release, and thank profusely with...

    Support needed... Teeth!

    Yes, and no. The product dissolves completely into the water - and yes, there is an active bacterial culture in there. They're not saying, but I suppose any other liquid could contain it as well - although not as likely to be consumed on a regular basis. It is meant to provide all the water they...

    Support needed... Teeth!

    You might wish to look into a product called "Teef!" It is a bacterial culture one adds to the drinking water. It has no taste, dissolves completely, and is renewed every day. We have had surprisingly good results with my guy's big mouth, with teeth getting noticeably better over the last two...

    Longevity - Oldest dog at 31 years

    Yeah, I liked this, too: good nutrition, he said, and love and activity. I seek these qualities in our lives.

    Homeopathic remedy, how long is it good for?

    Until things appear to be swimming in it:) Traditionally, one adds a few drops of brandy, vodka, Everclear, or other not-too-sweet alcohol. It is said that remedies preserved appropriately last for generations; yours should be fine for a few weeks without additives. The alcohol is in too small...

    BJ's Raw

    Looks nice - looks EXPENSIVE:) Outside of that, I don't like to feed a homogenous ground product steadily, or as the only component in a meal. If you added in some whole large chunks, or fed alternately with whole prey style pieces, it might be more suitable. So, yep, nice food - but needs...

    Raw for cat

    No need for higher math here...Lots of organs is good; too much will loosen stools. Lots of bone is OK, to the point where it constipates. Yes, prey animals seem to be about 80-10-10, but you may certainly vary this over time. Not everything has to be in each meal, and variety, as Dr. Jeff said...
