You needn’t be too concerned with exact amounts when giving your pet fresh or dried Herbs, according to Randy Kidd, PhD, DVM, and author of Dr. Kidd’s Guide to Herbal Dog Care (Storey Books, 2000) and Dr. Kidd’s Guide to Herbal Cat Care (Storey Books, 2000).

Today is a day for announcements I guess - so here are two sites I think you should check out.

The first is a natural health database that I’ve built that covers every kind of health problem, herbal/aromatherapy recipe and healing modality I could think of. So far (and trust me, it’s not done!) there are more than 1500 articles and recipes - all for people. Pet recipes and articles will be added soon, I promise!

Rufus (my Aging dog), my wife, and I all take our anti-Aging Herbs on a daily basis, and I am firmly convinced that they are helpful. Judging by the comments from my many human clients who are using the Herbs I’ve recommended for their older dogs, Herbs are truly one of the very best treatments available for an Aging body - whether you are a human or a dog!

Question:

Our 9 year old female beagle has been drinking alot more than usual and has had a Urinary Infection this past week. She took antibiotics but is still drinking more than usual. She has also lost weight. She took several steroid shots for allergies this summer and everything I ‘ve read on the internet lead me to believe she may be developing Diabetes. Would your Diabetes formula be safe for her to try?

In 1993, in my senior year of veterinary school, I went to the annual conference of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association. Among the many great speakers, one in particular stood out: Dr. Richard Pitcairn, the world-renowned veterinary homeopath who has trained hundreds of veterinarians in classical Homeopathy. Dr. Pitcairn gave two lectures on vaccines and vaccine-related disease that forever changed the way I would practice veterinary medicine.

Question:

Six months ago I adopted a two year old dog. He is a well-mannered animal except for the Anxiety he suffers when we leave him alone. He doesn’t destroy things or go to the bathroom in the house or even bark, but he shakes excessively whenever he knows we’re going to leave the house and he cries.

Birds are very sensitive creatures and can easily get Stressed by changes to their environment. Parties and gatherings, especially around the holidays, can bring lots of noise and Stress into your birds’ environment. Here are a few tips to help Polly feel contented during the chaos:

• Avoid high traffic areas - don’t put your bird “in the line of fire”. This means away from doorways, noisy areas full of guests, and the blaring television, etc.
