Her BEAM would be an 8/10… she is about 80% normal.

Aspen Skye, my 6 yo Australian Shepherd, had a senior bloodwork panel on 11/25/2024 as a two-month check in post seizures. Her calcium level was high. What can I do for her? The conventional vet also said she had crystals in her urine results. She is happy, eats well and stays hydrated. She...

Today, I noticed that my girl, who is now seizure free 🥰, has an open sore on the back of her neck between her shoulder blades. I cleaned it up, it looks like a small puncture wound, and bleeding a little. It doesn’t appear to be infected. It’s not raised or hard to the touch. I put...

:) I’ve learned so much from being here on this forum and also from Anthony Williams! Prayers for your sweet girl! I’m glad you are here!

Hi Raquel! I’m so sorry you are also going through this with your baby girl. It is heart wrenching. Aspen has been doing so much better since weening her off of Phenobarbital as of 10/5/24. She has been seizure free since the cluster seizures on 9/21/24. I have her on a strict raw diet...

Ohhhh.. I was afraid of that. Should I eliminate any of the following adds to her food for now? Organic blueberries Barley Grass Juice Powder Spirulina Powder Taurine Milk Thistle

What is an early warning sign of a seizure? What is the standard for the thyroid? Are ice packs (covered) with a towel okay to lay under, over paws in 20 min intervals at night? I’ve been doing this the past several days. She doesn’t seem to mind. I added 1/4 tsp of milk thistle to her food...

Phenobarbital 60mg .5 2x/d began PM 9/24/24, Badlands Beef 1c x2/d with 1tsp ea Vimergy Barley Grass Juice Powder and Vimergy Spirolina; midday 2 carrots and Badlands Beef Liver snacks. Will add 500mg Taurine x2/d 9/26/24. Behavior: AM pre-meds, less clumsy, curious, mid-day: falling...

Good afternoon - Thank you so much, Dr Christina 😊. I have an appointment scheduled with Dr Jeff for Friday afternoon. His soonest availability as of last Saturday.

Dr Riley, Parkway Animal Hospital responded to cut the Phenobarbital down again to .5 tablet twice a day. Aspen is beginning to get her feet back under her now 11 hours after this mornings dose. She slept all day…. Wondering if the seizures were in fact due to all of the vaccines, what is the...

Midday update. Aspen is moving very slow, definitely more wobbly than this morning pre-meds and dragging her rear paws when walking. They slide out from underneath her when walking. She stops often and sways. If she looks sideways she loses her balance and falls to her butt. I've moved her...

Apologies for being a bit verbose here… Also, a few things at yesterdays late afternoon appointment with Dr Riley…. Aspen was very nervous, shivering and panting, not sure why she was back at the vets office for the third day in a row. I almost feel like she felt traumatized. I begged the...

About once a year she will stop eating and drinking, gets lethargic and mopes for several days. It’s usually around her heat. I’ve taken her in to get checked out and they give her antibiotics. She is also about 15 lbs overweight. But, I had her on Farmers Dog, mixed with raw kibble and...

I just returned from Parkway Animal Hospital where Dr Riley did a thorough exam. Her eyes appear fine, lymph nodes are fine. Based on the blood test results she would like to run more tests for Addison's dis-ease. She would also like to submit another blood panel for testing on her thyroid...

Interesting… on 9/6/24 her cholesterol was 422 mg/dL… but two weeks later on 9/20/24 it is 2084 mg/dL. Post vaccinations the day prior. Something feels off here.

Thank you so much! 😊 I asked, Response received: “I will call you to discuss everything after the specialist from University of Florida gets back to me. Likely later today. Thank you, Dr. Riley - Parkway Animal Hospital”

She had not fasted for the test. She ate at 8:30 am and the test was run at 4 pm. In answer to your earlier question if she is able to go up and down stairs. We have a single story home. She does trip over the door threshold down about 4 inches to the patio floor. She is holding her back...

Thank you so much. I’ve ordered Jarrow’s Taurine. It’ll be here tomorrow.

Thank you @Dr. Jeff - I gave Aspen the dose of Simparaca on 9/16…. Ugh! No more - going in the trash. I’ve scheduled an appointment with you for Friday afternoon, your soonest availability. My update to her conventional vet this morning and their response is below. I’ve attached the latest...

You are all such blessings….💞🙏 I am tearfully thankful to be here! No vaccines ever again! Promised my girl. I will ask vet for Rabies exemption. I’ve intuitively been giving her the Badlands Beef Liver treats for the past two days. Attached are pictures. You can see she likes them. Should...
