🐾 WHEN THE INFECTION IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY 💚
Read More: 🐾 WHEN THE INFECTION IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY 💚What Dr. Steve Marsden’s AHVMA presentation brought into focus about tick-borne disease, immune function, Chinese herbal medicine, and the dogs behind the bloodwork By Timea R. Bodi By the time I sat down to listen to Dr. Steve Marsden at AHVMA, I had already accepted that my notebook was going home heavier than it arrived,…

MISTLETOE AT AHVMA: WE CAN KNOW THE STEPS AND STILL MISS THE DOG
Read More: MISTLETOE AT AHVMA: WE CAN KNOW THE STEPS AND STILL MISS THE DOGAnyone who has followed me for a while knows that I ask a lot of questions, and being told “this is how we do it” generally gives me a few more. I have been using mistletoe with my own dogs for a couple of years now, and I listened to Dr. Cláudia Costa speak about…

The hormones we remove, the whole dog we are responsible for 🐾❤️
Read More: The hormones we remove, the whole dog we are responsible for 🐾❤️Listening to Dr. Michelle Kutzler at the AHVMA conference brought me back to a question that sits at the heart of preservation breeding: when we make a permanent decision for a puppy, are we considering the adult dog that puppy will become, and the older dog that adult will eventually be? We spend so much…

THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT EAST VERSUS WEST. IT IS THE MAP WE USE TO UNDERSTAND THE BODY.
Read More: THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT EAST VERSUS WEST. IT IS THE MAP WE USE TO UNDERSTAND THE BODY.Someone recently posted in a group asking for thoughts on Western versus Eastern holistic medicine. My mind immediately went to conventional Western medicine because that is what most of us understand when we hear the word “Western” used in a healthcare discussion. We think about bloodwork, imaging, pharmaceuticals, surgery, specialists and a diagnosis attached to…

WHEN THE MIDDLE GROUND DISAPPEARS
Read More: WHEN THE MIDDLE GROUND DISAPPEARSMy cat Thomas taught me something about modern veterinary medicine that I have never been able to forget. When he developed a urinary blockage, I was presented with two choices. I could authorize approximately $5,500 in treatment, or I could euthanize him. Somewhere between comprehensive hospitalization and death, every other possibility had disappeared. That moment…

LET’S MAKE GOOD DOGS IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS
Read More: LET’S MAKE GOOD DOGS IMPOSSIBLE TO MISSYesterday I wrote about the problem. Today I’d like to propose a solution. Because if good breeders are difficult to find, perhaps the answer isn’t waiting for families to somehow find us. Perhaps it’s time for all of us to put a stand by the road. On farms, the best produce is often discovered at…

THE PRICE OF NOVELTY
Read More: THE PRICE OF NOVELTYYesterday I was standing at my grooming table brushing one of my black Miniature Poodles when my phone buzzed with yet another photograph of what was being advertised as a “rare Merle Poodle,” and I found myself staring at that single word far longer than I expected because something about it simply did not sit…

THE NATURAL WORLD IS STILL SPEAKING
Read More: THE NATURAL WORLD IS STILL SPEAKINGMany years ago I found myself sitting in Arizona attending a Zoopharmacognosy course taught by Caroline Ingraham, and at the time I had no idea that a single class would permanently change the way I looked at animals interact with herbs. Like many people working with dogs, I had spent years learning nutrition, health, behavior,…

HOW DID WE GET FROM PINE TREES TO ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL HEALTH PROTOCOLS ON THE INTERNET?
Read More: HOW DID WE GET FROM PINE TREES TO ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL HEALTH PROTOCOLS ON THE INTERNET?I had one of those moments recently where the freezer was humming in the background, one of the dogs was watching me with that suspiciously intelligent poodle expression that always makes me feel like I am the one being evaluated, not them, and I was standing there with my phone in one hand and a…

COLOSTRUM SAVED MY CHIANTI
Read More: COLOSTRUM SAVED MY CHIANTIEvery litter is different, and every mother is different. I have used colostrum with many of my dogs over the years, but I do not think I have ever gone through as much colostrum with a nursing mother as I have with Chianti. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful that I had it on hand.…
