Dental cleaning for a senior dog

[Dr. Christina]

Your wonderful attitude is certainly helping with him. I would not start worrying about blood values - keep doing what you are doing.

\Great comments from Drs. Jeff and Jean

His creatine was normal ? She didn't mention the USG, and a urine test was done.

He may not actually *have* kidney disease so not to worry about progression at this point...

Update:

Pumpkin's dental went well. They also removed a black mole on him, biopsied it, and it came back non-cancerous ? He took Arnica 1M in lieu of conventional pain medication.

He has some arthritic symptoms that I want to tackle next. Limping, difficulty jumping, etc. I'm giving him PEA, but will add a separate Glucosamine supplement next. We're not currently seeing a homeopathic vet (she had to close her practice indefinitely). Can I give him homeopathic treatment myself or is that best reserved for a vet to prescribe? I see there's a list of common arthritic homeopathic treatments on the site, and finances are an issue. I'm also taking a Tong Ren training class in April. Tong Ren sounds promising and I'm hoping it can be his primary treatment as it's easy and cheap. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Elly, you may want to start a new thread for the arthritis symptoms so it doesn't get lost in this one...

Yay!

Thanks for asking this super important question! Yes, it would be best to work with a well-trained vet homeopathy for his totality (which includes his arthritic symptoms).

In the meantime, energy balancing methods that you can use at home, like Tong Ren, are great!
