    Vomiting and Loss of Appetite

    Thank you Dr. Jeff. I was worried it was too long! Abby's BEAM is ok, her quality of life is good. When I say its ok, its mainly because of her lack of appetite. She's never really been a dog driven by food, but she did enjoy eating. She loved treats and fruit and veggie snacks. Her energy...

    Vomiting and Loss of Appetite

    This is going to be a long post, I apologize in advance. Abby is our 12 year old German Shepherd/Lab mix. In 2017 she was diagnosed with histocytosis by a dermatologist. She was put on 100mg of Atopica, three times a week. Prior to this diagnosis, in addition to her traditional vet, I had...

    Chewing Paws and Itchy Skin

    Hello! I apologize for the delay in sending an update. Unfortunately, Becca and I have not seen each other since this quarantine so she hasn't seen Naya's skin irritations first hand. Naya has been off of chicken completely for almost a week, it will be a full week tomorrow. The fermented...

    Chewing Paws and Itchy Skin

    I really don't want to take her to her vet. She has gone to three different vets, she's scared to death of them, they muzzle her and the last time they had to sedate her. Its so traumatic for her and they are just going to tell me that its allergies and to put her on cephalexin. If it's ok...

    Chewing Paws and Itchy Skin

    Dr Christina, thank you so much for all of the information!! I do have some Rescue Remedy at home and some Vitamin E oil. I appreciate you taking the time to share everything! Dr Jeff, I’m glad your electricity has been restored! Her BEAM is still good, nothing else has changed. She’s still...

    Chewing Paws and Itchy Skin

    Hello, I noticed these bumps on Naya’s belly this evening. I haven’t seen her chewing at her belly very much, but she’s not with me during the day. So right now, it’s her belly, paws and chin that seem to be irritated. Some times I’ll see her mess with her ears but not often enough for me to...

    Chewing Paws and Itchy Skin

    Hi Dr. Jeff, I've been watching Naya for the past week. She does seem to be chewing her paws a little less (yay!). Now I've noticed that she is also chewing her private area. It's not red, like her paws and she isn't chewing as often as her paws, but that is a change. I try to distract her...

    Chewing Paws and Itchy Skin

    Hi Dr Jeff! Naya had her last dose of Thuja yesterday. First, I have to say that she acted like I was poisoning her with the Q-tip, but I tried my best to get it on her gums three times. She is still chewing at her paws. I didn’t want to continue dosing because I think you said no more than...

    Chewing Paws and Itchy Skin

    Hello, we switched our 3 year old mastiff from kibble to a raw food diet because we were hopeful that her skin irritations would be alleviated. It worked for a little while, but now its back and she has been chewing her paws and rubbing her chin on the carpet. I spoke with Dr. Jeff last week...

    Wetting the bed

    Thanks Dr. Jeff. Interesting you should ask because she hasn't been wanting to stay outside. Yesterday, I made her stay outside with me. She is usually trying to find the sunny spot, but instead, she was looking for shade. I didn't think anything of it until you just asked me that.

    Wetting the bed

    Hello, I just wanted to post an update. Naya has stopped throwing up and drooling as much as she had been, but the urinating hasn't stopped. It seems that she is urinating much more than usual. This afternoon, I let her outside for a few minutes, she peed and came back into the house. Maybe...

    Wetting the bed

    Thank you so much for your response Dr. Sara. She is only three years old and she is spayed. I will try to get a urine sample from her so we can get it tested. She did seem much better this morning. She was back to being her normal self, full of energy, excited to eat breakfast, not drooling...

    Wetting the bed

    Hi, last night our African Mastiff threw up what looked like water, she did it a few times, smaller amounts every time. She kept drooling and drinking water. Her BEAM was not normal. She was really lethargic and barely wanted to go for a walk. We only feed her once a day, so I can’t really...

    Skin Tag and Itchiness

    Thank you so much. And I apologize, as I reread my post, I just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean that we haven't seen any benefits from the raw food diet, obviously there are numerous benefits that I have seen in all of my dogs and I will continue to feed it. I only meant that I didn't...

    Concerns with switching to fresh raw food diet

    Hello, No, she doesn't get any big chunks or meat or bone. She's strictly on lightly cooked ground turkey or beef. I supplement the calcium with egg shells. She has never had any pooping problems before. We always referred to her as the "optimum pooper"! I didn't see her go at all...

    Skin Tag and Itchiness

    Dr Jeff, do you think the Thuja could have caused the bump on her eye? We are seriously thinking of having both skin bumps removed at this point. Yesterday she messed with the one on her head again. She is overdue for a teeth cleaning. Since she just recently started on the raw food diet, we...

    Concerns with switching to fresh raw food diet

    Hello, I noticed some odd behavior in Abby this morning. She ran outside as soon as she finished her breakfast and started squatting as if she had to poo, but nothing came out. She was clearly constipated as she continued to move around the yard and do the same thing. At one point, I saw a...

    Skin Tag and Itchiness

    Hi, just an update on Te'a. Her skin tag seems to be healing. It's a little smaller than it was and she doesn't seem to be scratching it as much. She has been getting 1 Q-tip of Thuja on her gums every day. Now, she has developed a bump on the corner of her eye. I was thinking that she...
