I've used colloidal silver on myself for a month at a dosage of 3 tablespoons a day systemically, tapering off after that. I found no problems with it. I think the biggest danger is in not doing the research to get a good brand. There are different suspensions, particle sizes, etc., as...

I'd love to have any early way to determine if I should urge a vet to look more closely for cancer, as I tend to detect a few signs (like loss of energy) early on -- too early for anything to show up on an ultrasound. Does anyone here have an opinion on the Nu.Q. test for cancer?

Wow. Timing is everything. I just adopted a dog who probably has a UTI, but 2 weeks of the standard antibiotic didn't completely clear it. It is VERY much better, though. The cause is pretty clear. This dog was excessively crated. She is currently 7 months old, and much of her life she was...

We're rooting for the two of you. I do hope it's nothing serious -- and maybe you can get to the point where he's no longer licking the floor?!?

I've never had a dog lick the floor, per se, but I have had dogs that have licked or eaten odd things. The last dog I lost (to hemangiosarcoma of the spleen) ate dirt the entire time I knew her (2 years of her 7-9 year life). She may have had the beginnings of her cancer before I met her, as...

The hardwood floor licking after meals indicates, to me, a problem with the digestive system. When the vet checks him, have the vet look for tumors in the digestive track (including spleen and liver) via ultrasound. Because I've had 5 out of six of my dogs die from various types of cancer, I...

The fence was probably 6 ft. + overhang. It was done with plastic mesh in the mid section, wire at the bottom (staked down), and mesh on the overhang. The overhang and the wire at the bottom are crucial. Cats can climb almost anything. We had a wood privacy fence for the rest of the yard (6...

It's not so much height, as construction. Take a look at Purr...fect fence: www.purrfectfence.com Note the wire fencing bent in an L at the bottom, and the overhang at the top. I have used one of these and it works. Our cat did manage to climb over the garage (to which the fence was...

She's gone. Magic was feeling very uncomfortable last night and couldn't get up this morning. She didn't want to eat, though she did wobble to her water dish to drink some, before collapsing on the floor. The magic of homeopathy wasn't enough to stop the tumor from bleeding, unfortunately...

I've never done animal communication, and I know, so far, that that's not what I'm doing, because when the lights are out, I don't have a clue. That said, there is *definitely* more to her story. She's got lipomas everywhere, her lower incisors are worn to nubbins (and she eats dirt daily, and...

Not sure I'm following that. Are you saying that _at the time_ of surgery, the drugs are suppressing symptoms like pain and inflammation so that we, not seeing the symptoms, have no chance of properly addressing them (through, say, application of Arnica)? Or are you saying that many years...

OK, color me amazed! Early morning, Magic was clearly uncomfortable (lying on floor). She got up, drank, and went to lie on another dog bed (we have several), so I didn't think anything of it. When I got up, she got as far as the door to that room and then lay down. I helped her up, she came...

Just an update.... I was thinking Magic's love was walking (and searching for 'dead things'), so I took her on walks in various places. The trouble was that the walks were putting pressure on the ruptured tumor, causing more bleeding. Searching out happiness has to be taken in context with...

A cheap option (you can make it yourself) is a weighted blanket (NOT one meant for humans, though). Here is an article on it: https://www.ttouch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Oct-Dec-NL-2017.pdf The article starts on pg. 24.

Are they giving her iIV antibiotics? I had to have them *myself*, and they aren't the end of the world. You can correct the imbalances they generate after SIssi is out of the hospital. Also, next time you're there, try stroking her ears from slightly towards the center of the head, over the...

If it is an anal gland adenocarcinoma (hoping it isn't, of course), I had a dog with such a mass. She had surgery, but the mass grew back after 3 months. An ultrasound showed large blood vessels 'feeding' the mass. The vet 'she's dying'. I looked at my happy, energetic dog and didn't believe...

Wow...what a wonderful story. I am *so* happy your pup is doing well 19 months after pseudo-diagnosis (because the presumption turned out to be wrong). Generally, I stay as far away from facebook as I possibly can -- mostly out of habit formed at my former job (I am now retired). That said...

I started reading the article and I plan to finish it -- when I get the chance. Dr. Pope was a no-go. Seems she prefers patients that could actually be healed. I think Magic is too far along for that, but we'll see. I went back to Dr. Sagrera, and the receptionist gave me *her* appointment...

I had thought Dr. Sagrera might be a good fit, but the earliest they could fit Magic in would be the end of October. I read in one of the posts here about Dr. Pope (holistic veterinary oncologist) and was impressed that she had actually had a study going on hemangiosarcoma of the spleen (though...

I'll take a look at these suggestions later today. Right now I've got to go enjoy the sun :-). Thank you! -Alyson
