I am so sorry to hear about Vanya. You gave her the best life possible. Even though Vanya was a quiet dog I’m sure your home seems even quieter now without her presence. Thinking of you, Amy, Archie and Tiggy.

Buxton had a small amount of ice cream for the first (and last!!) time last Tuesday. That night he had to go out 3 times during the night and had diarrhea. I have been giving him boiled hamburger with either rice or oatmeal. I have also added broth to his water because he wasn't drinking much...

Would Neem Bark Powder added to food be helpful as added protection for ticks? I also Neem oil weekly, and when we go to a trail that I know has ticks I use wipes on his face and a spray.

Thanks Ginny, Dr. Jeff and Kelly for the Information!

My functional medicine doctor was talking to me about using Panacur for cancer in people. There have been many success stories about it and it was discussed at a medical conference she recently attended. Has anyone used it for cancer with pets? What are your thoughts?

I sometimes used EOs for Kedron, my BMD with cancer. I would take the cap off the EO bottle and hold it about 2 feet away and she would clearly let me know if she was interested in it or not. Either she would stay and get a whiff or turn her head away and sometimes get up and leave. I never put...

Hi Marie, So sorry to hear of Sophie's diagnosis. I just want to share with you that my BMD was diagnosed with a MCT at the age of 3. She will be 12 next month. We were already clients of Dr. Feinman and all of her treatment has been with him. Kedron never had surgery, chemo, prednisone or...

I use bar shampoo from Neem Tree Farms. Bath & Soap Archives - Neem Tree Farms When Kedron had skin issues that is the only shampoo she didn’t have problems with. It is also good when dealing with fleas & ticks.

I don't do formal exercises with my BMD puppies. I let them run free and don't take them for long walks where they have to keep up to my pace. I like taking them to places with uneven terrain....tree roots, branches to walk over, etc. I give them have a chance to stop and rest if they want to...

Thank you for your comments. HA! is helpful....I'm learning!

Kedron's last dose of Rhus Tox was 200c on May 21and she was much worse the day after the dose. It seems it was the correct remedy but the potency caused an aggravation. Beginning the 2nd day following the dose she started improving. In thinking about next steps for her I believe I should wait...

Thank you for sharing the story and your suggested guidelines. Reality checks can be difficult but are important. Debbie

I have been using Fidoplex from Wondercide but they have discontinued that product. Comments about Movoflex which is also an eggshell membrane supplement? Thank you! Debbie

Buxton loves nosework! These days when it is too cold for our regular walks we go to Home Depot and do nosework. He has fun searching for the scented Q-Tip hidden somewhere in the aisles.

I used silicone muffin molds. Harden at room temperature and store in a paper bag. Debbie
