Ooops, this bounced! Lets' try again. ;-) honest Mike, I have html off... sigh, I wish I could figure it out! uggh.
Anyhow... Dave, Im not a vet, but have had success with flax oil and cottage cheese with some friends ailing older, kibble fed dogs over the years. One, (a big bouvier) I remember well, we were house and dog sitting him years ago and I thought he would would not make it before they got home (he fell down the stairs and couldnt get around well as it was). Within 2 weeks of flax oil and cottage cheese 3x a day, he was RUNNING around the yard like a damn puppy and wagging his tail. His owners were stunned, hell so was I! LOL. Now, maybe he wasnt that ill, he was 12 I think, who knows. However, I have read enough at Shirleys Wellness Café over the last 6 -7 years to convince me lots of people have had miracles. This website is great holistic info for kids, dogs, men, women!!! In fact Shirleys own experience with saving her dog is a good read, http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/overview.htm Here is another contact (Lita-shes a homeopath) from Pets 4 Homeopathy group she is amazing. Her love for animals is just incredible. Not sure what you pay for your dog food or if you feed kibble but we have found that feeding raw to our dogs has actually been cheaper money wise but phenomenal in health benefits. Tonnes of information on the B.A.R.F. (bones and raw food or biologically appropriate raw food) feeding program can be found. It can be as complicated or as easy as you want to make it. IMO I cant do worse then kibble! ;-) We have 100-120 lb dogs so weve done a lot of calling around to find the best value. A local butcher guy sells bones and offal real cheap (another local butcher is expensive) you have to keep calling and its human grade so you could share the bones some for the dogs, (some for your soup), we also get cases of chicken carcases (or necks and backs) with some meat and fat and the whole carcass still there 150-180 lbs for $30. Again raw for the dog, soup for you. Sometimes you can put a free ad in your local buy/sell magazine under hunters etc. asking for wild game bones for your dog. If the dog is older you could whack it up small with a cleaver or if you can also try grinding it until the dog gets strength or inclination to eat it whole. We only fed the pups ground for a few weeks and then they were on their own to work their way thru stuff. Some people supplement with the raw diet, some give griains, some feel supplementation is necessary, some felt just the basics is all that is needed. Sometimes you can get produce for free from the grocer that is salvageable and grind it all up and give that to them as well. Beet greens, carrot, lettuce etc. If its not organic soak in sink with some peroxide) Incidentally you can produce to last 2-3 weeks in the fridge by first soaking it when you get home from the store and then the odd squirt of 3% on it when its in the fridge. Ive had kale keep2+ weeks crispy! Its a bit of work, but worth it if you are budget conscious. Another thought is clover is a powerful blood cleanser as are other herbs. I purchase loose dried herbs at the local health food store. They are really cheap, under $1 and I can make a lot of infusions with that. I have some awesome herbal and homeopathic dog books but that doesnt help! Can anyone recommend some good herbal and homeopathic animal websites? Anyhow, just some ideas.
