Curious if anybody knows this: how long since feet get uncomfortable (dog lifting feet) to frostbite?

    Sorry for the misunderstanding; our guys are fine. The lifting feet is only temporary and we always rush back indoors. Though one morning hubby had to carry JD from a potty break because he refused to move. I mean from the time when they notice their feet feel cold to actual frostbite. We had a number of “mad dashes for cover” and I think we probably had more time than that … ?

I looking at a Sheltie puppy. I have located a breeder, but apparently has been treated, I believe successfully, for Puppy Strangles. Just a few questions: Is this curable? and are there any long term effects after treatment?

I am at work but, my husband is at home and just called saying he gave Paige, our Boxer her Heartgard and she vomited about 30 minutes later. He cannot tell if the Heartgard was in the vomit or not. Is it safe to give her another one later or tomorrow?

Thank you,

How lose it typically take for diarrhea from eating something wrong to resolve? (Dog, no other symptoms)

    I usually expect diarrhea to resolve within 24 hours, if it lasts more than that I take my pooch to the vet.  Are you sure he/she is not running a temperature?  

  2. Christina Chambreau

    This is a prompt for you to learn some home care techniques that can help in any situation. Also a good prompt to buy some books on holistic care for dogs.  Then you will be able to help your dog quickly move through most problems. 

    I strongly recommend getting some training in understanding the wide range of
    approaches to health so you can be in charge of what you choose for treatments
    for your animals – given by you or by your integrative veterinarian. There are so many different ways to stimulate healing that
    you never need to give up trying to treat any problem. Of course, this time I assume the diarrhea cleared up. When dogs are healthy, though, they can eat almost anything and not get any diarrhea.  From books, on-line and in classes you can
    learn Reiki (which can take the “bad” out of vaccines and any needed
    drugs, or even make food healthier), massage, HTA (healing touch for animals), TTouch, acupressure, flower
    essence therapy, all of which are 100% safe to use for any problems. There are
    many more approaches you can do to help heal your animals with some training
    since they need to be used more carefully – homeopathy, herbal medicine,
    Chinese herbs, aromatherapy. In addition to classes there are many very good
    list serves filled with people experienced with not vaccinating and feeding raw
    meat diets. Classes are found through your health food store, by phone or
    on-line. As with human health approaches, there are many different opinions, so
    you need to experiment and see what makes your animals more or less healthy. 

    I also recommend finding an integrative veterinarian with whom to work, and I know there are some good ones in Montreal. This
    is a person trained in many different approaches, including using conventional
    drugs only when absolutely needed. Working with one can increase the chance
    that your cherished companion can live a long and healthy life after recovering
    from this current problem. There are good ones and great ones, and a few
    homeopathic veterinarians will consult by phone or email. You can go to the web
    sites for each type of holistic practice and use their referral list to find
    one near to you. Many practitioners are members of only one or two of the
    organizations, so you do need to go to every site to find who is near you:
    1. Wide range of other treatments: http://www.AHVMA.org, American Holistic Veterinary
    Medical Association and http://www.civtedu.org.   
    2. Homeopathic veterinarians (these can often help you by phone if no other
    holistic practitioners are nearby that you like): http://www.theAVH.org and
    http://www.DrPitcairn.com.
    3. Chiropractor – http://www.animalchiropractic.org
    4. TCVM (Acupuncture and Chinese medicine): http://www.IVAS.org,
    http://www.avaa.org & http://www.TCVM.com

    5. Herbal
    http://www.VBMA.org

    6. Postural rehabilitation – dogs and horses – http://www.posturalrehabvets.com/Postural_Rehabilitation/Find_a_Practitioner.html

I Have A Female Pit Bull Terrier (spayed) That Is 10 Months Old. Pearl…

I have a female pit bull terrier (spayed) that is 10 months old. Pearl generally has a great disposition and gets along well with everyone including other dogs. The “problem” is that she is showing less and less interest in her dog food when first provided to her. And it’s the meaty stuff (Alpo cans)! I’m not too worried because she usually eats it eventually but she often will wait hours. Yes, Pearl is spoiled with treats and bits of human food but it seems so odd that she would rather eat whatever we might be having (e.g. a french fry) than this wet, meaty food. She weighs about 55 pounds and gets one 13 oz can in the morning and one in the evening. She also has a constant supply of dry food in a dish but she just picks at that upon occasion. She has a regular place to eat near where we eat and spend most of our time and her Alpo is given to her each time on a new (clean) dinner plate. We have one cat that ends up eating some of the food and Pearl doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, Pearl seems to be more interested in trying to eat the cat’s plain dry food than her own. In short, she seems to like eating most anything except her own dog food. Thoughts?

    I read your blog on Beau. It’s just a frustrating illness, because results take awhile. Ozzie is only our Veterinarians 2nd case of puppy strangles in her 30+Yr career. Her first case was just 6 mos. ago on an imported pup. Last night marked 1 wk. on prednisone & antibiotics, we 2 or those days being the double dose increase. Marked improvement over night last night! So thankful. His chops and eye area, have gone way down. And the fever has finally broke! I am thankful for your site Krista.
