Hi Michelle, Yes, the homeopathic remedies I have are from Boiron and come in small blue tubes. Cheaper than my vets, and last a long time! I think I might of gave Sash a few pellets two days in a row. Just crush them and pour them on so they coat the tongue and give no food for 30 min. before or after. They sometimes work sometimes not, although I believe there still good for there general health. Sash never had much of a problem with his appetite just started to refuse canned food more as he got older and sometimes acts like he's tired of his dry food, I think with him he just eats TOO often. As for the vet, YES i truly fear the stress it caused him and panic everytime he has to go. He doesn't get too stressed out by it but I know he doesn't like it either, so I worry. I do try to give extra Vitamin C and B vitamins before and after he goes, which should help with stress. I know it's important they go though, we should just try to minimize it as much as possible though, I guess. Best wishes to Lucy and your babies! Lisa & Sash > Thank you.
