    Symphytum Potency for Corneal Ulcer

    Quick question on this - I've been reviewing other forum posts about these ulcers. I'd like to offer Symphytum to my friend for her 11.5 year old Dachshund with a recurring corneal ulcer, same eye. I only have 12C. Any problem with that? I'm thinking the reason 6C potency is suggested is...

    Need some help with Charlie's weight loss

    Hello friends! I've been working @Dr. Jeff to help Charlie's stools normalize, if that's a word, since a dismal visit with his cardiologist and was told to limit his salt intake. He also had a reaction to one of his new heart meds which led to minimal vomiting and pretty consistent diarrhea...

    Dog Vomiting After Eating a Mask

    @Dr. Jeff and all -- One of Kendi's symptoms is that she eats inedible things. She particularly likes paper. She had her first real appointment with Dr. Jeff last month and I've been giving her calc carb 200c. Of course she has other things going on. This past Sunday evening she found one of...

    Charlie's Nose Work

    Quick update -- Charlie began his Intro to Scent Work class this past week. He loved it, no surprise! Rabies vaccine given two days before class. Had to have it in order to participate. I waited until he was worm-free and his BEAM was good across the board before taking him in for the vaccine...

    Ferrum Metallicum & Charlie

    I was looking at cough, motion aggravates for Charlie because this has become a more prominent symptom. One remedy is in bold, ferrum metallicum. My interest was peaked even though I had just started re-looking at his symptoms and this was the first one I looked at. Checked this remedy out in...

    The Dysbiosis Index (Charlie)

    @Dr. Jeff -- Charlie had his vet appointment yesterday and we're now waiting for all of his routine lab results to come in. His vet uses Antech so there was some pushback on getting the dysbiosis index. She said that Antech does a fecal culture that looks for 9 or 10 different bacteria but I...

    Charlie's Throat

    @Dr. Jeff and everyone else -- I'm in the process of re-repertorizing Charlie's symptoms and not sure how to search for a few. Charlie has off and on made a hacking sound which I called a cough. He has other coughs too that come and go. I've noticed that more recently that this hacking sound...

    Oops, I did it again -- meet Kendi!

    Hi everyone -- introducing my newly adopted dog Kendi, an 11-year-old Lab/Husky mix. She made her way to PA from NC. She was heart worm positive and finished treatment for that on October 20. She also had steroids. Kendi is a sassy girl. She's on a fresh food now, varied diet, mostly raw. That...

    Materia Medica Question

    This question also has to do with potency and re-dosing. The information listed for Ears under nux vomica includes 'loud sounds are painful.' This helps me know, along with other things, that nux is a good match for Charlie for now. The ring tone for text messages on my phone really bothered...

    Charlie is on the mat!

    Charlie had his first, and only, dose of Nux, 200c, on August 2. There have been small changes for the better since then, nothing dramatic. One thing he's been doing more recently is hanging out with me for about the first 10 minutes of my zoom yoga class. That's been fun. My mat is down all...

    Treat Ideas for Training Class

    @jenbridwell & @LisaW -- I'll be starting Charlie in a Basic Manners class this coming Sunday. I need some ideas on small treats to use in class and then for practice at home. I'm assuming he'll be getting more than what he usually gets. Thanks! Kristen

    Charlie Update -- Vet Visit

    @Dr. Jeff -- I wanted to give you some updates on Charlie from last Monday's vet appointment. I was surprised to find out he has hookworms. I'm going to start him on Verm-X today. He's not had this supplement before. He received the praziquantel injection when he had tapeworms. Do I need to do...

    Storing Liquid Stock Remedies

    I just q-tip dosed Charlie nux v, 200c, from a liquid stock bottle. Succussed the stock bottle 10x, then put a drop from the stock bottle into 8 oz of water. I think I'm saying all of this accurately. Where do I store the stock bottle? Thanks! Kristen

    Charlie probably ate some glass

    I absentmindedly left a casserole out on the counter when I went to see who was at the door. Couldn't figure out why Charlie didn't follow me to the door. It was because he pulled the casserole down off the counter. It took him a while to get him away from the food. There was a good amount of...

    Question about Kelp

    Hi @Dr. Jeff -- questions specific to Charlie: I have been giving him Thorvin Kelp, roughly 1/8 tsp at each of his two meals for approximately 350 mg/day. I noticed that the Onco Support has 760 mg of kelp powder in one scoop (1 tbsp). Are these two forms of kelp the same and should I stop...

    Charlie & His Worms

    I was able to take a few worms to the vet today. She said they look like tape worms. I took a stool sample in yesterday which was negative for parasites eggs. Charlie doesn't have fleas. The vet said he had them at some point. Are there other ways to get tape worms? Her recommendation was...

    Charlie's BEAM, Heart, Skin, Ears & More

    I was going to wait to post on Charlie until after his appointment with a canine cardiologist on April 6 but decided to do it now. Adopted 11-30-2019 – reported to be 8 years old; neutered in October 2019 and received all of his vaccines at once in October; one-year rabies; surgery to remove a...

    Chicken Neck Question

    Another thing about Charlie is that he doesn't chew his food. I've only heard him chew a piece of a chicken neck a couple of times. The first time I gave him a whole chicken neck he took into another room and put it on the sofa! Two other times he swallowed them whole. Now I cut them into...
