    Vomiting can be for many reasons.
    Upset stomach? Could he/she have gotten into anything? Ate something they weren’t suppose to?

    We recommending withholding for for the day and starting to then feed small amount if they seem to be improving.
    Next steps would be radiographs to confirm whether anything seems odd, and sometimes sending out a blood panel to check levels.
    Let us know if you have any questions!

I have two cats both around the same age Sushi and Loki. I got Sushi at 8weeks and Loki a week later at 10 weeks old. Sushi was playful and full of wonder. Loki was loveable and cuddly. After getting them both fixed, Loki started to pull away a little at a time. It’s been a year now and he don’t like to be touched,pet on,won’t cuddle. I don’t know what to do..help!

    They get along well they play and they groom each other. It’s Sushi will be cuddly and lovable but Loki nothing.

    Working with a holistic veterinarian or trying some holistic approaches at home can reverse the behavioral change that I feel was caused by the surgery or the anesthesia. Some animals are sensitive and do have serious reactions that I could not treat when I merely had my conventional treatment. 

    I strongly recommend finding an integrative
    veterinarian with whom to work. 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 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. Chiropractic and Osteopathic – http://www.animalchiropractic.org; http://equineosteopathy.org/ (they treat
    dogs, too)
    4. TCVM (Acupuncture and Chinese medicine): http://www.IVAS.org, http://www.aava.org &
    http://www.TCVM.com
    5. Herbal – http://www.VBMA.org


    At home you could take a class to be attuned in Reiki and offer it to everyone in the house on a daily basis. This may reverse the problem (see below). flower essences are totally safe and could help him become normal again. Maybe try a session with Sharon who makes the Anaflora line and is also an animal intuitive. 


    Personally, I think every person who lives with or works
    with animals must know at least Level I Reiki. The practitioner offers this
    energy and the animal comes over to get it (or places her hands upon the
    animal), or it can be done from a distance, even around the world with the
    intent for healing to occur. The energy flows through the healer into the
    animal. This is based on directly applying Chi (energy) to rebalance the energy
    field so it no longer needs to produce the physical symptoms. It is a very good
    adjunct to any healing modality, especially to relieve pain and inflammation. I
    have seen cats who began to eat again when their food was treated with Reiki.
    It also “takes the bad out of” things. By doing Reiki on smelly water
    in restaurants I have been able to drink sweet tasting and smelling water. Use
    Reiki anytime that you must give injections, vaccines, drugs, flea or heartworm
    drugs, or other substances with potential toxicity. Reiki is great to calm
    animals, relieve discomfort, and can deeply heal some problems in some animals.
     

    1. Great information on Reiki – http://www.reikicourse.org
    2. Kathleen Prasad is a wonderful teacher and works with my favorite sanctuary
    and holistic education center, BrightHaven http://www.brighthaven.org. Kathleen leads
    a free monthly telechat for anyone trained in Reiki and using it with animals.http://www.animalreikisource.com/

    3. If you cannot find a Reiki Class near you (same class for people and animals
    as it connects you through an “attunement” to the healing energy of
    the universe, making you a channel of healing), the following groups offer long
    distance, free, attunements. 

    a. http://theholisticcare.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13
    b. http://freereikiattunement.com/
    c. Christine at cbearse@earthlink.net, http://www.awakeningrainbows.com. To receive
    free distance Reiki send her your first name only, city and state, and whether
    or not you have had any Reiki training.  She invites you to include your
    pets as well.  She uses a teddy bear and does a full body Reiki distance
    treatment for one hour each Sunday evening from 9 p.m. until 10 p.m. EST. 
    d. And a team of over 100 healers will send free healing energy until you say
    not to. Email Barbara at nancelot01@aol.com with your healing request, name of
    animal, species, color & age. In the subject say request through Dr.
    Chambreau

    Excellent recommendation in 2015 – http://reikishamanic.com/

    energy healing classes- search a bit to find the reiki ones or email them. Long
    distance healing and training is at http://www.animalhealers.homestead.com.

    Often when a dog decides to stop eating it means that they are going to die.  Eleven is an old dog when it is mixed with wolf.  Since the dog has been seen by  a doctor I would suspect there is not much to be done for this dog save to make him comfortable (manage his pain).

    So sorry to hear of his troubles.

    That’s fairly large for a small animal.  I’d say you need a vet and the sooner the better. It could be a insect bite, cyst, infection, tumor,  etc..

My 8 Month Female Cat Has Been Pooping Almost Anywhere When She Has Been In…

My 8 month female cat has been pooping almost anywhere when she has been in heat. I have not experienced her doing so when she is out of heat. Why would she be doing that?

    She is getting fixed this Friday. I’m just getting upset because it’s not confined to one area. It’s like she can’t control it. It’s frustrating that it’s all over and upsetting because I don’t want anything to be wrong health wise. It just seems to be mainly when she is in heat. I would have put that she was getting fixed within my question but there was not enough room to fit it all.

I tried washing it off but it starts getting wet/oily again before shes even fully dried. she shakes her head every once in a while and doesnt like it when i try to examine it. while giving her a bath, i couldnt find any cuts or irritations. She has normal urine and stool and eats and drinks fine too. A couple weeks ago we found her biting her paw to the point where it was almost raw so we had put an ecollar on her. and just about 2 days ago we noticed that the top of her head looked as if someone had spilled a small spoon of oil on her head.

    I would take her to a vet for evaluation – sounds like she has an allergy or skin condition developing and you will need help to resolve it.

    In the mean time I would remove all grains from her diet, including treats.  Dogs don’t need grains and don’t digest them well.  And while not every dog is allergic to grains the can cause just enough impact on the immune system that other allergies can get a food-hold.  Go to a good pet store (not grocery store, big box store, nor a pet store that sells puppies) and ask to be shown to the grain-free dog food area.  Then start reading labels, you want a dog food that has real meat listed as the first 2 (or even better, 3) ingredients.  Real meat is easy to spot, it will say lamb, elk, bison, turkey, salmon meal, whitefish meal, etc.  (meal is the entire animal ground up and dried). 

    Don’t buy any food that lists ‘by products’ in the ingredients – you would be paying premium price for an inferior product.

    Avoid chicken and beef – many dogs are reactive to these sources of protein.

    If the vet recommends Benadryl use Zyrtec instead – I find that it works better for dogs.

    Good luck
