My 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

Holistic vet helped my dog with mast cell tumors on head
Friday, August 27th, 2010Dog 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?

My dog has a fungus problem that just won’t go away
Friday, July 23rd, 2010About three years ago my 2 year old King Charles Spaniel was diagnosed with fungus on his skin. At the time my vet told me to bath him in betadine, leaving on his skin for 5 minutes before shampooing him off and that seemed to help for a little while. Next I tried an antifungal cream which also helped but smelled TERRIBLE. I’ve taken him to a specialist who gave me some wipes and other medication for the condition, but nothing seems to get a good handle on this reoccurring problem.
I’m at my wits end. Can you help???

I took my dog for a walk and her face swelled up when we got back
Wednesday, July 21st, 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?

How often should I brush my pet’s teeth?
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010How often do dogs and cats need to have their teeth brushed? To be truthful I don’t get this done for them that often and I feel a little guilty.
What is a minimum frequency you recommend?
Why won’t vets accept payments?
Sunday, May 30th, 2010I always thought that veterinarians were supposed to be caring, compassionate, animal-loving people. We moved back to this area last year with our two dogs.
One is a younger dog who is well socialized and enjoys doggy daycare immensely, so he goes to the vet regularly. The other is a 15 year-old beagle who had canine dementia, cataracts and quite a stubborn streak. We did not take him to the vet often because he was old and in fairly good physical health for his age. I took great care in trying to find a veterinarian.
The younger dog had been seen there several times over the past year but not the old boy. Well, the old boy got fixated on a spot and pulled himself bald. By the next day, it was dollar-sized and I called the vet who could not see him until Monday. By that point, his ear and face had been scratched raw and even benadryl spray did not help.
The vet bill would have been more money than we had that day, so we asked if they would let us pay on Wednesday. We had no outstanding bills, but they refused to treat him until Wednesday and the old boy has now died. I have changed vets as there is no compassion in that office, just the need for the almighty dollar. I am overwhelmed with grief.
