What is Lyme Disease and what are the symptoms?

Lyme Disease is an infectious Tick-Borne Disease that mainly affects dogs, although it is not unknown in cats and other animals. It is caused by a type of bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi.

Studies suggest however that only about 10 percent of animals exposed will actually contract the disease and the severity of the disease appears to vary with the animal’s age and the strength of their Immune System.

Herbal Healing For Pets

Posted: Saturday, April 1st, 2006 @ 9:00 am in Pet Health Issues, Herbal Recipes | No Comments »

I will begin by stating that you should not attempt herbal healing for your pet unless you have a good understanding of what is ailing your pet. And a good understanding of the healing Herbs. Don’t guess…..check with a veterinarian first!

There are now a lot of holistic/natural vets out there - call around and see who you can find. This advice is not meant to replace the diagnosis and advice of a licensed veterinarian. That said, I will share with you the herbal treatments that we use on my ranch. Most are simple, safe, and effective.
