Thank you, Dr. Christina! Most of those vets are doable as far as the driving distance. Dr. Jamie Moran has her rabies vaccination policy on her website, and it doesn't look like there is much wiggle room for an exemption: immunocompromised disease processes, severe allergic reaction to rabies...

I am leaning towards taking Teddy to the integrative vet, Dr. Stern, for a consultation. His two biggest issues are chronic rhinitis and hyperthyroidism. His homeopathic vet, Dr. Tewari, has been treating him since October of 2022. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism before I knew about...

I really appreciate everything you've shared so far. If you have time, I'll definitely take any advice and helpful hints you have. I don't think the chickens will be cut into pieces when I purchase them, but Bell & Evans might do that for me if I ask. I don't have any experience cutting up...

Thanks, Basha! I can't find that particular grinder, but I've found some similar ones. How much time and work is it to grind up your own chicken meat? Do you find it is worth it, as opposed to buying chicken meat that is already ground up?

Hi, Kim. Thank you for responses. They were both extremely helpful. I had contacted Dr. Stern last year explaining my situation and just did again today. She wants me to bring Teddy in for an exam, which is to be expected. There is no commitment to issuing him a vaccine exemption. One thing I...

Unfortunately, he is 4 hours and 258 miles away from me (per MapQuest).

Basha, what do you use to grind up whole chickens with the bones? Would the meat grinder that attaches to a Kitchen Aid work? If I have a way to grind up the meat myself, I can purchase whole chickens from a Bell and Evans store nearby.

My 13-year old Maine Coon cat is due for his rabies vaccine. I asked my conventional vet to give him an exemption because, with chronic rhinitis, hyperthyroidism, and periodontitis, he is not healthy and should not be given a vaccine. The vet said it is fine for him to get the vaccine and he...

Thanks, Dr. Christina and Dr. Jean! Teddy's homeopathic vet is Dr. Ila Tewari since October of 2022 when I discovered homeopathy. I asked the dentist for clarification on their findings during Teddy's cleaning that was done on 11/08/2022, and here is what they said: "Teddy is missing his upper...

Thanks for your response, Dr. Jeff. I attached Teddy's bloodwork from 11/08/22, but it's not a complete panel, so I'm not sure if it has everything you're looking for. The dentist did it because she wanted to make sure his kidneys were okay before she cleaned his teeth. Teddy loves his raw...

My 13 year old male Maine Coon cat has been on a raw diet since June of 2021. His health challenges are chronic rhinitis and hyperthyroidism. He had his teeth cleaned two months ago for periodontitis. He has been receiving treatment from a homeopathic vet since October 2022. I have...

I am tagging onto this post because it was asking about Dr. Marty's freeze-dried raw Nature's Feast for cats. I feed my cat raw ground beef and ground chicken made with a pre-mix. I also purchased Dr. Marty's Nature's Feast freeze-dried raw cat food as a backup emergency food. It looked...

We thought Teddy wasn't very active and was instead sleeping much of the day because of his age, but we now know that if his BEAM is good, he should still have energy and be playful regardless of his age. We are trying to get his energy level up. I would welcome suggestions on how to get him to...

I forgot to say in my original post that we have Air Doctor air purifiers for both levels of our house. Would we be able to use an ionbox, or would the air purifier and ionbox work against each other?
