Good afternoon: I noticed my 14.5 year old domestic short hair Maya's pupils were of varying size today, which is a new symptom. In 2020, at a wellness exam, my notes show our vet took a picture of Maya's left eye which had a spot around 3PM to 6PM (I had raised the question of the spot...

Good morning! I was just looking at the March issue of the Little Big Cat newsletter from @Dr. Jean Hofve and read about cell-cultured meat, poultry and fish. Dr Jean, I am interested in hearing a little more about this intriguing topic and why you feel it will be beneficial. For those who...

Can flea medication cause anxiety since it affects the Neurological system? I gave my cat virbac flea medicine in January and she seemed to have a significant increase in meowing. At the same time, I went out of town for 10 days while my partner fed them daily. (she works from home) bu leaves in...

Hello friends, Does anyone have a recommendation for a gps tracker tag I can put on my cat’s collar? I’m going to start letting him go back out again. Thank you!!

I've spoken a lot about Bella, my little kitty with kidney issues, but today I am posting about her sister Maya. Maya is about to come home today from a routine dental cleaning with some extractions (she's had extractions over the years), but today was the 1st day a vet gave her what they...

Good morning! I finally made some time in my busy schedule to begin exploring on my own in the HA resources to learn more about kidney disease. I'm so grateful for the information I am receiving from so many resources. From the articles, to webinars....I am increasing my knowledge which makes...

Good morning: Many of you have become familiar with my cat Bella, 13 yrs and 9 mos old who has kidney issues. I've had some chats with you re: Bella's anxiety in going to the vet, and how in the past I would give her gabapentin to calm her down for the 1 hour ride one way to the vet I used to...

Good evening and Happy New Year! Per our recent chats in the Forum, I decided recently to transition Bella back onto her raw food diet, with the addition of Aventi for her kidney support. A few things I have observed: Her fur has gotten a little softer like it used to be However, she is...

Good morning! Since I have started using Aventi Kidney complete for my kitty Bella's kidney issues per recent homeopathic vet's recommendation, I noticed there is also an Aventi Omega 3 liquid supplement. I've been using Nordic Naturals Omega 3 pet (liquid oil supplement) per suggestion of a...

Good morning all! I wanted to share that after my initial consult with homeopathic vet Dr. Judy Herman last week, I also touched on the topic of nutrition with her. I shared that what HA! has reminded me about (and these next words are coming from me!) is that I don't have to take one...

Good Monday morning, all! I was thinking this morning...why not bring it to the group because I am sure I'm not the only one. I've posted about my kitty Bella who has kidney dis-ease since I joined HA! last month. This morning I was thinking about not just taking what one vet says as gospel...

Good afternoon! I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! I am still exploring modalities to support Bella's kidney issues and her BEAM! I recently came across some services offered at a local holistic vet office near me that I have zero experience with: biopuncture and aquapuncture...

OK folks, I tried a different way today with my husband to try and administer subcutaneous fluids and my little wisp of a kitty became a lion! I can tell you Bella has always been an intelligent cat and she won this battle again today after 3 tries! I started off as usual getting all the stuff...

I was wondering what your opinion is of the homemade recipes I had a nutritional veterinarian create for me last summer 2023, when Bella was found to be just outside of the normal range of kidney levels (SDMA), as I was told this was early stage kidney disease by my regular vet. The date will...

Good afternoon! I ordered a book recommended by I believe @Dr. Christina , Homeopathic Care for Cats & Dogs by Don Hamilton, and have been reading it page by page. It has been a refresher for my own homeopathy education. I was reading the section on kidney disease and how the main blood values...

Hello, My indoor outdoor cat has fleas. Even though I have used flea destroyer, and other methods, as well as a wondercide on the property, I cannot control it because he is fighting me when it’s time to comb him. I used to manage being able to comb him because I would feed him a churu, but now...

Pearl just had Kittens a few days ago. She was constpated and taken to the Holistic Vet who gave her an Enema and Rabbies Vaccine! Cannot get Lyssin for a few weeks. Can we give Thuja & Silicea? 30c? Once enough or more? Is this safe with Pearl Nursing 4 Kittens? @Dr. Jeff @Dr. Christina...
