I just read your question about Dr. Sagrera's emergency number. Yes, call her! There'll be a (small, to me) fee, but so what. Dr. Sagrera is thoroughly committed to the animals. The fact that Gabby's gums are still a bit pale most likely means she is still bleeding internally. That's...

Just use the normal 2 capsule dosage. I was worried about the same thing. Dr. Sagrera seemed really reluctant to give a second emergency pill. I did, finally, but it was a couple of days later.

Dr. Sagrera is as dedicated to helping your dog as you are. I know for mine, she was willing to help me as long as my dog and I were willing to keep going. At one point, though, I read the signs, and my dog was ready to say goodbye. I wish I could say it was a sweet going, but it wasn't. The...

Sorry to catch this so late. Don't obsess! That's hard, very hard -- I know. I think things like: did I get the remedy too close to something electronic? Maybe that's why it didn't work. Etc. But...with homeopathy, the important thing is the timing, not the amount. It doesn't really matter...

When you're putting together the records for the homeopathic vet, the main things to focus on are the changes that have occurred with her illness (e.g, things she ate happily before but won't eat now; maybe she would never go out in the rain before, but now she doesn't seem bothered by it, or...

Yay! So happy you got the earlier appt. I sincerely believe if anyone can help Gabby, it's Dr. Sagrera. I hand fed Magic a *lot*, but I'd been hand feeding her since I brought her into the house (3 months after I "met" her, so I didn't find it unusual. Do whatever it takes.

The yunnan baiyao helps stop the bleeding, but it depends on how bad the bleeding is, and it also depends on what else is going on with the blood. Yes, Magic's spleenic hemangiosarcoma had (apparently) metastasized to the liver. I wanted to keep her walks going, and there were days when she...

I *highly* recommend Dr.Sagrera of Natural Pet Care (Natural Pet Care - Metairie / New Orleans, Louisiana - Dr. Adriana Sagrera, DVM). While she was unable to cure Magic (the bleeding just kept recurring), she did do an amazing job of quite literally bringing Magic back from certain death...

I have watched the course, and Kaya's reactiveness to people (definitely fear) is one of the reasons I'm keen to leave the ovaries in place (goes without saying I'm also working on socializing her). The uterus will definitely be coming out. If I have a complete spay done, I'll want to wait...

Not sure exactly which folder this belongs in -- probably a new one on the issues associated with gonad sparing sterilization operations, both behavioral and health -- but I'll put it here until someone starts the appropriate folder. Having grown up in the 'modern' age, the last intact female...

I've been using a weighted blanket -- similar idea to the thunder shirt. Oddly, I usually find the TTouch half-wrap to be more effective than the thunder shirt, but it definitely depends on the dog. I've also been going through the TACT program (touch assisted clicker training). I feel like...

I'm pretty sure one of my dogs swallowed one whole. It didn't cause any lasting damage, but his stool was a little weird for a day or so.

Given where I live (Levels, WV), doing any kind of sports with Kaya would be pretty difficult. If you're thinking Schutzhund, you're thinking, I presume, lack of confidence might be part of the problem. That is something I can address through TTouch, so I'll think on that and do a bit more...

Well... I just picked up the Prozac (Fluoxitine) and Carprofen. The only instruction on dosing I got was on the bottles, and for the Prozac, it said "2 (20 mg) capsules TWICE DAILY 12 HOURS APART". Kaya is 60 lbs. That's triple the dosage she should be getting. I called in and got a response...

Interesting... My new puppy knows what things are hers -- or at least for dogs, and if I've put them up for some reason, she'll take them if they're within reach. Example: I put the other dog's breakfast and marrow bone on the table (since he often eats breakfast with dinner) while I went...

Of course! 2 sniff walks a day -- about 30 minutes each, sometimes longer (all of my walks with the dogs are sniff walks, fyi). She plays all the time with Merlin and enjoys it thoroughly (she's currently sacked out under the table after a vigorous play session with Merlin). She gets chews as...

We've had Kaya, our 7 1/2 Month old (maybe older, probably not) GSD for about 3 1/2 weeks, now. We got her from a neighbor, who got her from a guy going through a divorce. According to the guy, Kaya was bought for $600 from a (backyard?) breeder and kept in a crate about 20 hours of every day...

Yippee that you've got a 9 yr. old dalmation that can still jump on countertops! Two questions spring to mind: 1) Is this the first time he's jumped on a counter? 2) If so, what's changed? (If not, I guess the pumpkin pie'll be going on top of the refrigerator next time -- unless you've got...

Hmm, found it, but when I click on the 'VDI' stuff under 'trusted brands' (bottom of the home page), the link is: https://vdidirect.com/%20 and the page says "not found".

What is the HA! discount code? My vet actually seems open to trying this!
