Addisons disease is known as Hypoadrenocortism, it is the opposite to Cushings disease. It is an uncommon condition in dogs being a failure of the adrenal glands to produce enough glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid, compounds which control a large number of functions within the body. In Addisons disease the level of sodium decreases and potassium increases. Low sodium can lead to vomiting, diarrhoea, weight loss and weakness. High potassium mainly effects t...
Some dogs and cats are prone to runny noses and sneezing, much like hay fever in humans. The cause of this may be obvious like dust, pollen or seasonal changes or even following exposure to certain food, cleaning products or sprays for example. My approach is to work with herbs to nourish and settle the respiratory immune system which in cases with Allergic Rhinitis is overly sensitive. There is little point in trying to desensitize against specific allergens...
This does not mean that your dog is covered in fleas it means he is sensitive to the flea saliva & it would take only 1 or 2 fleas to bite to start the allergic reaction. After the first bite your dog may still show reaction for up to 2-3 weeks. Treat the environment & all other animals in the house also. Sometimes with fleas & flea allergy dogs A 2 pronged approach is necessary. I have a range of treatment programs for allergic skin problems in dogs. Your dog would be...
There are a few things that may help with an anal gland problem. Keep your dog lean: overweight dogs tend to have more problems with their anal glands. Feed bones at least 3 times a week to ensure that some stools are hard. This will help with expressing a bit of fluid each time he goes to the toilet. Feed a high fibre diet eg. add pumpkin to meals. If you feel that there is any component of infection in the problem, then consider using a course of blood cleansers. You can als...
Many dogs with diagnosed Rheumatism or Arthritis are on long term anti-inflammatory drugs for pain, and most of these are at risk from the side effects of such medications. I recommend experimenting with traditional herbal anti-inflammatory combinations. Herbal medicine throughout the ages had a large number of herbs at its disposal to treat a wide variety of aches and pains and I have chosen a combination of very reliable remedies offering the possibility of reversi...
Herbal approaches to parasites all revolve around discouraging rather than killing the parasites. Also herbs provide support for your dogs own systems defences. I prescribe individual formulations in a concentrated extract form and these are mixed with Vinegar and or with ethylated Spirit and sprayed onto affected areas after wetting down. The spray includes Wormwood, Tansy, Thuja and Male Fern along with the Bach Flowers Crab Apple and Impatiens. The herbal agents ar...
This is a combination of Calendula and Yarrow and acts as an antiseptic and astringent to stop blood flow from an open wound. It can be squirted or sprayed directly into a wound as first aid to reduce blood flow and again after washing the wound. As with my herbal Eye Wash Concentrate, dirt or debris may be drawn from a wound after bleeding has ceased using Castor Oil which is preferable to the routine use of antibiotics or anti-tetanus medication. The Antiseptic/Styptic will...
Many older dogs, (just like people) get stiff and sore especially after cold weather or after exercising. In an older farm dog for example, this is likely due to wear and tear or injury during their working lives. In a younger companion animal, it is more likely to be the result of a diet lacking in raw bones and inappropriate exercise patterns while very young. Rheumatic and arthritic pain was a feature of mankind's existence since the beginning of time. In every culture th...
The very first thing you must do for your older dog is to take a long hard critical look at both the dog and at yourself. What I mean to say is you have to decide whether you are looking at a old dog or a prematurely aged dog. This is where you have to take a hard look at yourself because, if the dog is a young or middle aged dog showing signs of "old age", it may very well be your fault. Tara's Story: When I think of an old dog I think of my friend Tim who wo...
For Auto Immune Disorders start with the Conditioning mix. As well use a separate mix of Liquorice and Comfrey extract, the dose is 5 drops twice daily. Comfrey is high in allantoin, which is a cell proliferant which ensures that the new cells which are produced after tissue damage are not only made more rapidly (approximately 3 times faster) but...
