HI Jean,
Oh that's interesting, I also did not think there were many crystals. That's such an interesting observation on cats, that a vet visit can be enough to reset them, interestingly he was exhibting calm body language at the vet, sleeping in the chair, did not seem stressed, I was tapping...
Hi Jean and Christina,
Thank you for that. I would not keep him on a veterinary diet long term for sure. As for stress I generally think of him as a pretty chill guy, the only conflict I can see is that our dog will sometimes chase him if he is outside. I will monitor and add in some play, he...
Hi Jean,
Thank you for getting back to me. We did end up going into the ER vet today as my vet was closed. He was lying on his side and frequently straining to pee. He did have struvite crystals as well as white and red blood cells in his urine but did not block thankfully. I did some surrogate...
Hello,
My kitty Finn ( 3 years old, MN) who previously did some frequent urination in the litter box in November, is straining to urinate this am and also did not eat this am, he's raw fed. He is passing urine himself and I did palpate his bladder ( I used to be a tech) and it's not hard and he...
That's really interest what you said about energy entanglement with vaccines. I'd hear about homeopathic protocols post vaccines. I'm sure Julie could hook me up :)
Hey Jeff,
Yeah that's a good idea. I was hesitant to do that as I don't want to have to have a conversation about putting him on urinary food. I have Feliway- is that like Stress Stopper?
Hi Jean, Thanks for that. I had always thought it was non-weigh bearing bones that were safe. I'll look for the cancellous bones next time. I'm sorry if I was not clear- he eats pre-ground raw, which has meat, bone, organs, and stomach contents. as well as some raw meaty bones like turkey necks...
Hi All!
The parasite that concerns me is ticks- both because my dog is very afraid if I have to remove a tick and the kitty won't sit still for it, and although I know Lyme is low risk we do live in an endemic area and there are lots of ticks in fall and in spring. We are also moving to an area...
My questions are
1) Now that he has lost his PM4 and the teeth under and around that tooth wont be cleaned as well- is ther a dental product I should use with him?
2) Raw bone- what is the safest to feed. I used to say non-weight bearing, but he broke his tooth on a beef rib bone
3) Is there...

Hi Jeff! Yes I finally made it in. That totally answers my question. I have never vaccinated for either so I won't start now. I loved that article on mainaining and optimal state of wellness, which is totally what I am doing :) He has all of those things in spades! I know he was vaccinated a ton...
Hello All! I have Willy who is a 2 year old BC/Cattle dog mix. He's been quite healthy, he came from Texas so was pediatric neutered and vaccinated for everthing at that time, at around 4 months. Since then I have not vaccinate him, and I titred for the base vx and rabies.
I am relieved to...
