Hi Betty, Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved Lenny. Nine years is way too young to let your cherished one go. I'm glad Dr. Jeff was able to support the two of you through the IBD journey. My two older girls came from Ming Dynasty Shih Tzu in North Carolina...

Congratulations Betty! Dr. Jeff calls me an expert because I have four Shih Tzu girls running my household. LOL ~ My husband and I are their willing subjects... Three years ago, I told my husband that he could pick the new pup because I wanted him to form a special relationship as the oldest...

I'm a CT resident and have been a grateful client of Dr. Dongho Seo at Smith Ridge for 13 years. I have also had occasion to use a holistic vet who practices in CT and New York City, Dr. Marcie Fallek with great results. Your clients might want to check out this link to holistic vets in their...

I have four raw-fed Shih Tzu. My Ele (short for elephant) will be 11 years old in two weeks. She has always been a healthy playgirl with an excellent BEAM and a wannabe 'only' dog. At the beginning of December, I noticed behavioral changes. She became a bit mopey and started to push a pillow...

I was using Yunnan Baio for approximately one year pre-splenectomy for my Joli. I purchased multiples of the Yunnan Baio All Natural Herbal Powder 4g bottles at Fully Stocked Yunnan Baiyao Store Online Retailer YNBY Capsule Plaster. I was always happy with the product and their service. Joli...

Thanks for your prompt response. I was actually looking for ideas specific to this dog and her lack of a spleen. Thanks to being a member of the Holistic Actions group since it's inception, I was already able to provide the general information that you suggested. Kind regards.

In January, a friend lost their 3-year old black lab to hemangiosarcoma. Last week, they had their new yellow lab puppy spayed and the vet told them that although there was some tissue where the spleen should be, the spleen itself had never developed. This puppy has the same father as the...

Thank you, Dr. Jeff. I am looking forward to this evening's webinar. My question was not about symptoms associated with COVID positivity but specifically, a remedy to promote or enhance a sense of ease and relaxation in those becoming increasingly alarmed about the current situation. I am...

Many people are feeling an increased sense of unease, anxiety, and fright due to Covid-19. Is there a remedy that can be safely used more or less universally in these circumstances? Also, I use Zylkene for my dogs when they are feeling upset. The casein is a peptide molecule that promotes...

I thought that the following might be of interest given the discussion during the last Empower Hour on Relationship Based Training. This bears repeating ~ TRUST - A Deadly Disease Should you trust your dog off-leash? Read on... There is a deadly...

Joy's symptoms have decreased by 50%. She licks continuously and obsessively in the evening. Doesn't stop until other dogs have fallen asleep for the night and I distract and stroke her until she falls asleep also. Once down, sleeps through until morning.

Thanks Dr. Jeff, Will do and report back.

My two 18 month old Shih Tzu girls were spayed, hernias repaired, had dentals and microchips on March 31st. All went well. The smaller girl, Joy, seemed to have virtually no discomfort after the first 36 hours. My larger girl, Jele Bean, had quite a few doses of Arnica as she took 4 to 5 days...

Thanks for your caring, suggestions and help Dr. Jeff. Will definitely continue the Arnica for Jele Bean.

I have followed Dr. Robb and his 'Protect the Pets' Movement for the past year or so. He has a FB page if you'd like to check it out. At the grand opening of his practice in Newtown, CT a few months ago, he offered one free blood draw per family. I took the littles, had their blood drawn and...

Hi Liz, thanks for asking. Dr. Robb was awesome from start to finish! Girls were; spayed, had hernias repaired, dentals and microchipped. Joy (7 lb) had a much smaller hernia. Two small incisions and virtually good to go. Hasn't slowed her down a bit. Jele Bean (8 lb) had a much bigger...

Hi Liz, I think that you met my two older girls. The 18-month old 'littles' will be spayed tomorrow. Thanks for your good wishes. Will be interested to learn your final decision. Regards, Maura

Hi Liz, My girls are scheduled for a standard spay on Friday. My eight year old had the partial spay done at Tufts by the head of the department almost eight years ago. I actually see no difference between my 11 year old (full spay) and 8 year old (partial spay). I had no idea that the...

Thanks for the suggestion. I called and Dr. Richard Palmquist, Centinela Animal Hospital, is the only vet who uses homeopathic remedies from the Santa Monica Homeopathic Pharmacy. He converted from regular allopathic medicine to holistic years ago when he visited the Smith Ridge Vet practice...
