I think perhaps she does not need a food reward on each occasion. Praise and love are often enough positive reaction for each occurrence. Food in the snuffle mat, etc., is a distraction, not a teaching moment. Tell her, "Blossom, I need you to be quiet.." and praise the heck out of her for even...

Yep; speaking as the non-doctor, a couple of doses of Arnica 10M will obviate the need for any other pain med. In fact, you should get a dose into her right before the surgery, and then again right after. Carry a little vial of it with you, so you can slip (slop) it in her when you see her right...

...and you'd be surprised at how well, even eagerly, many dogs take to acupuncture needles. Mine just zones out and relaxes. Worth a try, for the great benefits available.

I use a VetroLaser, from Daniel Kamen. Vetrolaser.com. He will train you up and support you; even fixed something I broke, without charge. We have had excellent results with the laser therapy, on big stuff and small.

Hi, Ruth, I'm not a cat or hypo-T expert, but I find this impressively complete and thoughtful. I think Teddy's in good hands:) We are awaiting our results on the AB panel, and I, too, have been drawing figure eights like crazy for a shoulder or elbow issue here. It's amazing and wonderful...

Look for a welding supply shop. Or, if you know a mechanic, he might fill your smaller tank. Don't bother with finding medical grade; it's all the same anyway.

I love Dr.Christina's post:) I think that one way to look at it, simply, is that nutrition and supplements, etc., can give the body every possible bit of help in terms of "stuff" with which to work. Homeopathy does something quite different: it stimulates the body, through the action of the...

No, not per se. She is running the practice as a subscription service presently, and is pretty much full up. However, there are some useful links and photos on the site: FinnDVM.com - and she is always available for a consult as to how to proceed.

Don't take it out on her, whatever else happens. She can't help it; she's just a product of her environment and experiences. Love and calm to you both....

Yeah....nothing they say is basically untrue. However, I just don't take chances. Sometimes dogs just don't bother chewing - they just try to swallow whenever they feel something will go down - I've seen HUGE things vanish, and just say to myself that I'll keep an eye out for that bit. Dogs come...

Well, as the resident "bone person", I think would pick those larger bones out, or whack them to break them up further. I've had issues here with turkey bones, so am rather more cautious than I am about most others. With turkey, I like neckbones, big flat keel bones, tails, shoulder blades...

I'd stop that new supplement. And I'd stop trying to drug her way out of issues. Look in her mouth for stuff stuck in her teeth. Get rid of that crap artificial beef. Feed food. Keep track of symptoms. Is she nauseous? Pooping OK?

Yeah, what a lovely post, Lauren! Just what folks need to hear. Love to Romeo!

I'm not the doc, not the homeopath, but I am inclined to think that the falling hair is one way her body is getting rid of the toxic drugs. I wouldn't panic, but rather see this as a positive progression. Keep up a diet of fresh foods, organ meats, and lots of love:) Do work with a homeopath! My...

Lil, you are the queen of "what if?" Seriously, you can just ride with it, do what becomes necessary, and not worry about anything much unless and until it becomes necessary. That said, yes, there will be a cone. I would investigate other forms of restraint: soft donut collars, or wide - 2" or...

Yep; I have a Cuisinart Mini-Prep which is perfect for mushing up the small quantities for a dog's dinner. I wonder if any of those popular "perspnal" drink blenders - the ones that charge off USB cables - might work.

IMO, you're fine; not to worry. Let him sleep. Arnica is a very benign, gentle remedy in any case, and this is not really a terribly high dose. Keep track of your observations, and do not dose again with anything, I'd say, for a while. I'm not the homeopath, but I personally would not worry...

I'll sneak in to say that using more than one tablet will not enhance the potency. One is fine:) And succussing 10 times each time you dose.... Tell the dear boy I send my love..

The doctors will have more to say on this. But my take is that there is a wide range of symptoms possible, even common, in these conditions - none particularly harmful or dangerous. Timing of symptoms, as well as intensity, is quite variable. I have found properly applied homeopathic treatment...

Oh, I'm rollin'.....gonna fall off my chair:) Orthopets is another good source for braces. It needs to be a better fit than one can get with just generic Velcro. No, there are many ways to deal with pain besides Rimadyl - it's no miracle. A brace should eliminate pain to a large degree - if...
