14 year old cat with hyperthyroidism
Thursday, March 8th, 2007Pet Owner Question: Our 14-yr old cat has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. We have tried him on medication but he has a severe reaction to it and is not able to keep any food down when taking it. He has now developed a large thyroid tumor and loss of appetite. The vet recommends a radioactive iodine treatment. We were wondering if there is a holistic treatment that would help this condition? Thank you.

4 yr old female Lab, allergic and unhappy
Thursday, March 8th, 2007Pet Owner Question: I have a great female lab mix. She is 4 years old, and the most fearful, anxious and unhappy friend I have ever had. She is allergic to environmental stuff and is on antigens and low dose steroids. I recently saw on TV that she can have acupuncture treatment for some of these problems. Can you help us?? Labs done last week are all normal except for a very slightly elevated Alk. Phos.
Thank you, BVB

Cat vomiting
Sunday, February 18th, 2007Question:
My cat seems to vomit a little more than normal and it seems to have increased over the last few months. I realize cats sometimes vomit and have hairballs and whatnot, but I’m not sure that’s his problem. We switched him last year to a new chicken based food with no corn because his last vet thought it was a corn allergy. It seemed to work for a few months but now he is worse. He doesn’t act like he is in pain and he hasn’t lost any weight. Occasionally, it is whole food, but mostly it is pretty much digested food. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts? I appreciate it!
