Hello, My vet today told me my 9 year old mixed breed has HSA of the Spleen. But after reading up on this issue all day, I am concerned that the diagnosis may...
Thanks for the article, Dave. I understood most of it. Some of them are entirely over my head! I read on the internet in several places that you shouldn't...
I don't disagree that parent clubs know what's going on in their breed and yes, I realize many (including the GRCA) are devoting and donating many dollars and...
Very interesting article, and comments. Thanks, Dave. Â I have not been giving Maggie Yunnan yet, since she hasn't had any bleeds since her splenectomy....
I've noticed that there is a lot of discussion on how Yunnan Piayao should be used--daily, only when bleeds occur, etc. I suspect that like many of these...
I simmered Mali's chicken livers w/olive oil, sometimes I added some curry/turmeric powder. She took 2 YP capsules daily as preventative. I always saved the...
<,I have cooked Janie some pretty disgusting things over the years, but I think the chicken livers are the worst. How does anyone else cook them? I rinsed...
Thank you, Aimee! I missed your post earlier. The Yunnan Baiyao Capsules I bought today has very little information inside that isn't in Chinese. It has 16...
Thanks so much to Jacquelyn and Rosanne for all the helpful diet and supplement suggestions. I think we put our stories in the file, don't we? I thought I...
... Hi Karen, When Ranger and I went to see the holistic vet last week she said she would rather see Ranger have some organic barley (grain) than potatoes -...
Renee, Our Jani a puli had a tumor on his heart and we did 2 chemo treatments but not surgery. When he wouldn't eat the vet told us to give him anything he...
I just bought a package of chicken livers, put a bunch of chicken quarters in a crock pot with garlic, dumped the turkey burger & meat balls he didn't eat into...
Hi Aimee, Thanks for explaining. A pound of meat a day is what Sheba used to eat before this horrible disease. Now I try to get 6 oz of red meat and 6 oz of...
Hi Linda, I fed Cody twice a day so it was a pound of meat a day. He was never a big eater even before he got sick. I also gave him dehydrated chicken strips...
Hi Aimee, It was heartening to read your info, since Sheba has HSA and hasn't had an operation. It doesn't look as if you fed Cody very much! I was worried...
Hi Karen, There are many diets for cancer, but I think they all have a few things in common. No grains, high fat and protein. Cody's diet can be found here: ...
I would have to say that I trust figures from breed parent clubs because they're pretty aware of what's going on with their breed. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi...
Hi, I am new and my 11 1/2 year old lab just had a splenectomy. I have a very old computer and I am still using Windows ME. I think this is the reason that I...
CC I am so sorry. There is no "perfect death"....is there? Even a dog drifting off to death in their sleep would invoke guilt if you missed their passing. I,...
Deidre, it's not a good feeling. But this is the way I handled my guilt and my grief with Beau II, who was the first one I lost. I made myself think about the...
CC... I taped a copy to the back of a framed photo I have of Mika - I pick it up every day and look at it...now I'm going to turn it over and read the back,...
Everyone who has lost or is going to lose a fur baby should have a printed copy of this taped to their wall or computer. It says it all. We need to know this;...
Kathi, can you post it or is that allowed (don't want to break any publishing, etc. laws here)? If not, please send me a copy by private e-mail. Thanks. cc...
I finally got a copy of the article. I wanted to point out that the statistics quoted for Goldens (and Aussies for that matter) were taken from a health...
