I guess I never filled you in on Lola's first visit with the new holistic vet on March 29th. She did a full exam and gave her a chiropractic adjustment. We decided to ween her off the Apoquel and then start homeopathic treatment. Her last dose of Apoquel was last Saturday. I just spoke with...

Like I said it is the only thing I have changed with her diet. Maybe I just gave her too much but the onion content does worry me, and I would not expect blood in her stool from general digestive upset. I can’t believe I did not look closer at the ingredients before I gave it to her. Normally...

Those look like the same ingredients listed on the box. Take a look at the attached photo. The onion, black pepper corn, and bay leaf are the ingredients that would concern me. It could be a coincidence but the broth is the only thing that changed with her food. I guess it could be I just gave...

Quick update. DO NOT feed your dog Fire and Kettle bone broth. I did not look closely enough at the ingredients and they use onions and other spices dogs should not eat in their broth. I gave Lola two servings of about 4 ounces of the broth about 12 hours apart and she has had two bouts of...

Sorry, I'm not following your logic here. If I were to have the test done to check her gut what would the harm be? And if her gut is in bad shape then what would the harm be in a fecal transplant to expedite fixing it? I get what you are saying, but I'm really not changing much of anything in...

I would be curious to know the results if anyone has done it. It is quite expensive but I may consider it. If I do decide to do it I would probably do their test first to make sure it is warranted. Then after treatment I would probably do the test again to see how much of a difference it...

Anyone ever do a fecal transplant? I came across a product called DoggyBiome Gut Health Restoration System. It is pretty expensive, but it might be just what Lola needs to get her gut back in shape. I'm going to ask the holistic vet about it on Friday. Here is the website for the company...

Thanks for that. I’ll give it a read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for mentioning bone broth because for some reason I wasn't thinking about how good it would be for her. Kettle and Fire is made from 100% grass fed bones simmered for 20+ hours. The stuff is liquid gold. I hope it is OK to post a link...you can check out Kettle and Fire here...

I just canceled Lola's appointment with her regular vet and she is going to see the holistic vet on Friday. Medical records are being sent over today. One thing I forgot to mention about the raw food is that since she has been eating raw food the skin where her seasonal flank alopecia spots...

I tend to agree with you about her gut. I’m not using any essential oils. The only thing extra she is getting right now is about a teaspoon of organic coconut oil with her Apoquel pill each morning and a cap full of organic apple cider vinegar in her water dish whenever it is refilled. Would...

I don’t plan on having her get any more shots, ever if I can get a Titer test and waiver. I’m slowly working on her diet. I was just curious if I might be right about the shots making her worse or if I was barking up the wrong tree (pun intended). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

18 days on Primal frozen raw duck formula with zero improvements. So I got thinking about the two Cytopoint shots that Lola received. 3 days after the first shot she got worse than she has ever been, and she continues to be just as bad today. Her front legs and arm pit areas are completely...
