Hello! Sorry ahead of time if this is TMI :) Tater Tot has been having a good amount of liquid poop. She often poops outback -I have a small patio surrounded by rocks. When she has liquid poop, we try to pick up some of the rocks but mostly just pour lots of soapy water on it to dilute it...

Hello! Thank you for all the information! I am sorry if I missed this above. Dr Jeff mentioned making chia seeds and water. Can someone give exact directions and quantities? And then at the end do you offer the chia seeds with the water or take them out? I am unable to get a house system...

Hey! I bought it online Bigamart.com and it ships internationally -definitely marked up and shipping is pricey but it did come quickly! If you want you can private msg me your address and I will ship this bottle I have- no charge :). I'd rather have someone use it then it be wasted. I opened...

Hello! I got the VermX liquid! And I tried to add a small amount to Taters food. She took one lick then walked away and laid down. She refused to eat any more. It is a very strong smelling liquid for sure. So now I have an opened bottle of VermX liquid in the U.S. with ~2ml missing if...

Hi! Thank you Dr Christina! I ordered the para-outta-site....just trying to find VermX too. yes she has segments in most poops. Ranging from 2-10. I thought with tapeworms, they usually didnt pass the actual worm...that it got "digested" by the intestines...? She has been sick today...

Hi! I tried to buy VermX but they said they can not ship to the US. Their response: "We do not ship products to the USA as the FDA decided it did not like our UK product or our name we now send the herbal blend to the US and have the product made for us in the US. Chubby Mealworms did sell it...

Hello! I have not seen fleas on Tater Tot at all. She hasn't been very itchy either. Once in a while she has a quick itch on her butt or paw but rarely. I feed her cooked pork (could it be from that...if undercooked?) She scavenges and may have eaten animal poop? We live in the city and...

Hello! I hope it is okay to add tater tot worm experience here.... So yesterday I saw tater tot smelling something and when I looked closer it was a desiccated mouse. She is a big scavenger... Especially pizza crust ;-) but first time for worms Today I found tapeworms in her poop. So gross...

Hi! I was wondering about timing of meds vs remedies. If a pup is on remedy twice a day and medication twice a day. How long should there be in-between drug and remedy? If based on work schedule, I am unable to give during the day with proper separation ...is it better to give closer...

Hello! Just wanted to give an update about TT with this episode! She is doing much better. We backed off on her food and re-belly rested her -offering goat milk q2h x1.5 days then gave 1/2 meals x1.5 days (and giving dia-assist) and then back to regular meals but NO treats (and she usually...

Hi! Years ago Tater lost her hair exactly like that after her rabies vaccine...they thought it might be ringworm but she tested negative. So I think it was a reaction to vaccine. ?

Hello again :) so I am going out of town this morning to Florida. Catie's mom is staying with Tay Tay. I am at airport now. By 9am yesterday she was looking for food and by 12pm almost to her usual self! I was giving her goat milk +pork broth (a powder mix) and then gave her two half-sized...

Tater Tot had great energy and super barky all evening for food -I gave her broth+goat milk with rice then 1/2 meals x2. Her diet is what I would consider bland (low-fat ground pork loin and white rice). She also got some treats (cricket based treats). At 1am, she woke up and pooped a small...

Thank you so much!!! She is definitely improving! She walked slowly but well with her walker! And goes between sleeping and barking for food :).

Hello!! Tater Tot has had a history of "ibd" and "gastritis". However, last night she had what I would call acute vomiting and diarrhea. At 4pm on our walk, I got something out of her mouth that looked like part of a chicken wing with sticky sauce on it. She had great energy, ate her food and...

Hello! Tater Tot update. Silica q2 5/1 qtip on Sunday 5/9 x1 afternoon -disnt notice much change that day but the next early afternoon beam started to improve. Noticed increase energy the next couple of days and better walking (energy increased as day progressed). Some excited, peppy...

Hi @JoannC --it is Silica q1 (a liquid bottle I got from Dr Jeff). Then I succuss it 10 times (hit it against my palm) then clear the dropper if any liquid and suck up new liquid. Then put 1 drop into 8oz of water then I dip a qtip into the water/drop mixture then touch the qtip to Taters...

Hi Dr Jeff, Thank you so much! I gave her a dose Silica q2 5/1 qtip a couple of hours ago and will watch her closely! Thank you! She has mostly been sleeping since the dose. She is hesitant to jump off sofa and down 2 stairs....but then does it. It makes sense what you pointed out above...

Hmmm.....I go back and forth about dosing or not. Is this her BEAM decreasing and I am looking for a physical reason or is this her tweaking her leg. I would say give her a dose bc she is acting differently and slightly off for ~24 hours now. And if she did tweak herself -this is her current...

Tater Tot update: DECISION TIME-- to dose or not?! Hello! So last dose: Silica q1 20/1 qtip on 5/3. Plan from last phone appt with Dr. Jeff on 5/5: If she relapses with decreased BEAM +/- other older (NOT new) symptoms for more then 12 hours, then dose with Silica q2 5/1 qtip x1 and observe...
