I am successful, so far, giving him moistened freeze-dried food. But he no longer drinks. I also bathed him today and no signs of itch/flea. Normally, he will scratch the area if he has been bitten. So, I think it's not flea allergy. may be he's allergic to First Saturday Lime but that should...
Thank you all.
I do vaccum inside from once a week and regularly apply First Saturday Lime in the yard, and already applied beneficial nematodes.
I think the itch started almost 4 weeks ago now, if it is flea allergy and he's been bitten.
Is there a homepathic medicine to stop the itch?
I...
Alibi had a flea infection in August. I treated the yard, and home, everything for one month. It was exhausting. I am not a lazy person and fleas really make me work 24x7! I still treat/clean areas now. I do not "see" fleas, I do not get bitten, I think they're under control now.
I think his...
I found it difficult to follow his eating schedule to not make the food bad as it's free-feeding. And he prefers dry vs wet.
Even if I add water into it, which I am happy to try again, what kind of water shall I add?
Thank you.
Since pure water doesn't have the minerals in it, is water like brita filtered water + boiling a better kind of water? Where can I get supplements for RO water, or his food already has it?
He also takes the freeze-dried food from Stella&chewy. He takes bone broth as I mentioned but I try to give...
Thank you all for your advice.
I think it's not related to behavoir or anxiety. There is no bleeding. I noticed he chews the left nails more than anywhere else. the chewing happens more frequently in the past months so it is a change. He does not eat any other meat. He used to eat turkey canned...

I just had a followup consultation with Dr. Michael Dym. He keeps telling me he needs to know the symptoms which means adam will have more vomitting and diarrhea with blood. In some cases, some animals just need steroids. I was getting frustrated about the expected continuous of vomitting and...
I do have a bunch of flower essences including stress stopper. I usually give him twice a day since it's the energy not quantity. I will switch to 4 times certainly. Thank you.
It is worth a try!
Right now, adam is taking 5mg pred on Mondays and Fridays, 2.5mg on Wednesdays.
This is the minimum dose he can handle without any issues provided with a consistent diet and routine.
My goal is to take him off pred.
Thank you Dr. Christina for your advice. I was looking at Mitomax and it has Maltodextrin, destrose, and sucrose. I was concerned whether these are okay for Adam with IBD. One of the holistic vets once recommended not giving glucose to adam for its sugar content. But I learned somewhere else...
@Dr. Jean Hofve Thank you Dr. Hofve. I must have misunderstood the use of Stress Stopper as a steriod. I thought I could replace his prednisolone with Stress Stopper.
@Dr. Jeff Hello Dr. Jeff, Thank you for your reply, as always. May I know the context of the call and how can the call help me and Adam?
Thank you in advance.:cat2:
