Alternative treatment for feline CRF? How about asthma?
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010Anyone know of a rabbit vet who does house calls near Jacksonville, FL?
Monday, September 6th, 2010I am looking for a veterinarian who can give shots and exams to dogs, cats, and rabbits. Also, the vet I am looking for needs to know about rabbits and rabbit health.
This is very important as I am unable to find a vet for my rabbit. House calls would be best but I would also like to know of a vet who is knowledgable of rabbit health as the only vet around Jacksonville is very far away and it is stressful to my rabbit to ride in the car. The stress is too much for him which is one reason I would like someone who can do house calls.
Anyone have a good recommendation?
4 y/o Basset with atopic dermatitis
Sunday, September 5th, 2010I have a 4 y/o basset that has been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. I don’t want to continue with the steroid treatment my vet prescribed because I know it has severe long term side effects.
I have him on antihistimines and I also have a teatree oil and aloe spray for his really itchy spots. We have also been giving him baths in oatmeal & aloe shampoo and conditioner.
He just seems miserble as his antihistimines wear off just before his next dose time.
What can I do to help him?
The steroids had nasty side effects while he was on them.
I don’t want to put him back on steroids and I have an alternative medicine book on dog allergies but I don’t know what to do right now.
Any advice out there?
Thanks, Dori
Holistic vet helped my dog with mast cell tumors on head
Friday, August 27th, 2010My Weimaraner was diagnosed with MCTs two years ago – he had two tumours removed, one being on his head so the surgeon wasn’t able to take a wide enough margin. After two operations we decided enough was enough and looked into Homeopathy, and found a wonderful Holistic Vet, we haven’t looked back since. He is taking an MCT nosode, CV 247 (which is also being trialled on humans and is showing very favourable results), Floressence, he is on an organic RAW diet, has cottage cheese and ground flaxseed, fish oils, garlic, yogurt etc. He is doing extremely well, he’s happy, active and full of life, out hunting every day and people can’t believe he has cancer, it’s amazing! Research has shown that we are over vaccinating our pets, the wormers etc are filling them with toxins and this is the result, all unnecessary when it can be done naturally IMO. I urge everyone to please look at alternatives as it’s been a complete eye opener to me 🙂
After dog outside her face is swollen
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010I have a small 18 month old female collie. Around 20 – 30 mins after taking her out on an overgrown track (grass, nettles etc) her face began to ripple and swelled to more than twice its size within seconds, in front of my eyes. Her eyes were ‘Chinese’ looking and she basically looked like a Staff Bull Terrier. She did not seem distressed, was eating and drinking as normal and swallowing and barking OK. The swelling has gone down quite a bit this morning and she is still eating OK. She has been up this track many times, but not for a couple of weeks due to the overgrowth.
Could this be a bite or sting?

Dog is vomiting for 2 days but acting normal
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010My dog vomited twice yesterday. The first time was his food and the second was yellow and watery. He didn’t really eat his food today and just wanted water however he vomited that watery yellow stuff again. He is pretty much acting like his normal self playing and all besides the eating.
What should I do?
Could it be the heat?

What is the process for home euthansia?
Saturday, August 21st, 2010I am wondering how the process works to have someone come to my house to put my dog to sleep?
I am trying to prepare for the not to distant future and I am wondering how much it will cost to have this done. I just hate to take her to have her put down because she really gets nervous taking her to the vet. She has spent allot of time there the last few years, she is fifteen years old.
I don’t think it will be much longer until I need to do this so I am trying to come up with a plan proactively.
Thank you
Need to take a stool sample to vet. How long is it good for
Friday, August 20th, 2010I need to take a stool sample in to my vet. I collected a sample yesterday and put it in the refrigerator. My vet will not be open again until Tuesday. Will the sample be good until then or will I need to try to get a more recent sample?
