Hi Christine - Xia no longer has diarrhea. Thank you for the recommendation for flower essences. I want to have them on hand.

Hi Melinda - can you elaborate a little bit on "summary of the dates." I am not familiar with that feature. PS - I agree that iPhone screen is small and hard to read!

Hi Nancy - I am not an expert but I believe Neem is one of the key herbs/plants in Ayurveda and that every part of the plant is used. I was told that people chew on the branches to maintain oral health. Also, I was referring to neem powder (not oil) and at the minimum powder has abrasive properties.

Hi Nancy - I am aware of couple of other options couple of which I have tried: 1) New Zealand Deer Velvet + Manuka Honey Oral Spray is a product that I believe has been discussed here. I believe it is a natural product that helps with the overall health of the mouth, gums and teeth. Also...

I tried that once... I was cooking stake and I cut off a piece and gave it to my little one... she swallowed the hole thing and of course started choking... worst three minutes of my life. Now I prefer something like the photo attached... no bone is too big!

I noticed that fat, regardless of the source, results in softer stools (even bone marrow). Do you do anything for their teeth now that they no longer eat bones? That is why I wish I could feed them to my little one. Although she is doing pretty well for her age and breed, she has all of her...

Do you recommend any specific flower essence for this situation? I have Rescue Remedy, and, during the worst day last week, I would put the essence on my hands before petting her. Thanks!

Hi Nancy, when I say 80% protein, that includes the whole animal (muscle meat, organs, fur, and bone). I am lucky to be able to get meat grinds that contain all of the animal parts. I will add eggshell calcium if I prepare a meal using only muscle meat (and I do that sometimes if I come across...

1. Your pet's name, age, sex: Xia, 13yo, Female 2. Neutering status: Spayed 3. Breed: Chi mix 4. Approximate weight: 8lbs 5. What's their BEAM (behavior, energy, appetite, mood): BEAM has been good, even since the symptom first presented itself three days ago the BEAM was high, but today it...

OK, I will keep you posted as I make progress. Thanks for volunteering.

The itching episodes lasts about a day and it appears to be worse during the night. The day after a beach outing she is generally more tired. Of course, how tired she gets depends on how much protecting and guarding she has to do at the beach (how many people and off-leash dogs there are). Her...

Hello - I am posting this under Supportive folder (not Medical Disease Challenges) because I do not think that I am dealing with a Medical issue. However, I would appreciate insights from all of you. My dox Xia and I enjoy going to the beach on a sunny day when there isn't much wind. Days...

Thank you for sharing Dr. Jean. I just recommended Darwin's food (among other) to a colleague and reading your article made me question my recommendation. This colleague has a young dog (2 year old dog from a breeder) who started displaying itching symptoms (to the point of bleeding). First...

OK, I will work on getting it to work for multiple pets. A question for both @ChristineL and @MelindaN. Currently I create a note for each day and all the notes are in one folder. Do you have one note for each day and for each pet? or is it one note for pet with multiple days within that note? I...

Hi @ChristineL - you ask all great questions and this is evolving as we speak. I am working on incorporating BEAM score but I want to be able to not only record the score, I want to have the ability to input at the same time an explanation of the score. Since I am learning how to do this as I go...

Hi @ChristineL, the App that I am working on uses Notes to store the information. The purpose of the App is to allow a person to enter information into the Notes with very few clicks. As it stands right now, I am able to one icon and it creates a new note with the Current Date as the tile in a...

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one in this position. If you think this app may be of use to you, I would love to share with you what I have done thus far and get your input on how you might want to use it. Let me know if you would like to chat.

Hello. Are any of you aware of an iPhone app that allows you to track a pet's symptoms easily? If yes, what is it, and how has your experience been? I struggle to keep a journal at the end of the day because I am often too tired, and I end up putting it off for the next day and the next. I...

Thank you, @dr_ judy herman! I appreciate your input on the distinction between cure, palliation and suppression and accompanying descriptions. I especially like how you called out the importance of hygiene. It was a session lead by Dr. Sara Chapman on that topic that made me re-examine...

Hi Joanne - speaking from personal experience, I know I get concerned when something is out of the ordinary with my pet and I can hear that same concern in this post. One thing that I consistently hear from all of the speakers is that we should strive to change up our pet's food and...
