Hi Dr Jeff, Do you give Vanya subcutaneous fluids? I was reading that SQ fluids are helpful even if the dog isn't dehydrated-to help flush the kidneys? What are your thoughts? Wondering if something we should do for Toshi. She is getting fluids ~2-3weeks but give more at home? Thanks!

Thank you so much for the explanation!! It helped me understand a lot (and wondering about my personal constitutional remedy ;) The dose of China 30c didn't seem to make a difference/?worsened -her energy was low all day and she had loose pudding poo before the china dose that continued x 3...

Hi! We usually see sevelamer used as a phos binder. Is it used in animals?

Hello! I see a homeopath for myself. She has me on a constitutional remedy I take typically every 7-40 days. And then I have as needed remedies. For example, if I having anxiety symptoms I take arsenicum or if I start to get a migraine I take bryonia. Sometimes if my anxiety continues she has...

Hello Suzanne, Poor pups!! I know there are members on the forum that know a lot more about natural treatment options: change in food? Remedies? Supplements? Drug-wise in humans (and can be used in dogs too) with excessive histamine --we use Benadryl, famotidine and doxepin (antidepressant...

Hi Lori!! One of my pups just started on phosbinder and epakitin and phosbinder from RxVitamins for Pets. I found both in Amazon without prescription. And the starting doses are on the side of the bottles. The PhosBinder we mix with her food or give it via syringe +water, if she eats food...

Hi! I used an outline lab tracker I found and made some changes. Keeping Track Of Lab Results | CLL Society I tots may have missed something along the way but why does vet want to give Tip doxycycline? thanks! Nova

Hello!! Warning: poop pictures ahead! We have had a lot of poopie experience –acute and chronic. Catie and I have a system to keep track of the pups’ poops. We use a spectrum that ranges from: Liquid, thick soup, pudding, barely formed, soft formed, sticky and formed. Formed poops we further...

Hi Dr Sue, Thank you for all the information! I didn't even think about stopping the probiotic while on the poop pills -good to know. I will add more good foods and have TT retested. It will be good to see the change because it has been > 1 year since last testing. Thank you again! I have...

Hi! I was just reading about raw food and it mentioned if you dog always seems hungry then it could be a disruption in her microbiome. Tater Tot has had some microbiome issues in the past. We had her tested with Animalbiome and had her on poop pills on and off. Like Deepak Chopra says about...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has experience with Entyce? It does increase Toshi's appetite but seems to wear off relatively quickly for a drug dosed once a day. I saw the avg half-life was 1.2ish hours so would be out of system in 5-6 hours? Has anyone had experience giving the same daily...

Thank you Dr Christina and Dr Jeff!

Hello again! Does anyone have experience syring feeding? I don't think we are at that point yet but thought I would reach out. I watched a YouTube video but wasn't sure if there is a better/caring way? And how you decide on what food? Thanks!

Hello again! I reached out to Dr. Silver about HempRx and he said it typically increases appetite by decreasing pain and anxiety. I don't *think* Toshi has too much pain/anxiety. Will definitely continue giving the HempRx and hope it helps. And of course she is on her homeopathic remedy...

Hi! Thank you Dr. Jeff! We received the HempRx. What is the best dose and frequency to start for increasing appetite? Is there a best time to give it? Is there a concern that this will decrease her energy? I realize a big issue is judging how well the remedy itself is working when adding...

Thank you! This is super helpful -I ordered the TTouch book and will start with both pups!

Thank you Dr Jeff! She is currently mostly only eating rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. I had a general question about homeopathic remedy dosing. If we are to dose Toshi 1-2x/day and we give the remedy x2 on Tuesday, should we continue 2x/day dosing? Or okay to alternate between...

Hi! Toshi is having a few internal thing going on and is causing a lack of appetite. She seems interested in eating but just not what I am offering....like if I could get the right food she would eat. I am offering her 5-10 options per meal and usually she will decide on one and eat some of...

Thank you so much for your advice! Yes I have definitely encouraged this behavior. I have been squirting water at her (mostly just have to show the bottle). Do you think nosework at home is useful? And bodywrap -is that part of TTouch or do you mean like a thundershirt? Thank you so much...

Thank you both for your input and advice! I do think there is so much attention on Toshi (stroller, attention, special foods) and my level of anxiety is throwing Tater Tot off. I think some dedicated time with her would be helpful! She is barky when we stop moving on walks and barky for more...
