A quick entry today to let you know there is a new feature at the Facebook group Canine Nutrition and Natural Health. Given the volume of questions that get lost in the fast-paced world of Facebook, I’ve put a pinned post at the top of the page where members can ask anything they would like me to address. (Bearing in mind that the group has a whole lot of knowledgeable folks who can help with so much!)
I will pick a selection every month and address in some detail in the Newsletter, and if there is need, I’ll address some of them right here. To access this free service, you need to do two things; one, join the Facebook group, and two,sign up for the Newsletter! I can’t always be on the group to respond right away, so this means I can handle anything people need in a way that allows me time for a proper response – and can be of service to others as well.
First, here’s the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/756709917722083/
and, while there is a SignUp form on the main page of this site, I’ll share it here again:
Every issue of the Newsletter will have a mini-monograph on a specific herb; a recipe for something special, often herbal! a section on cancer, from dietary tips to the rundown on popular supplements; and now, the Q&A.
Quality, not Quantity – there’ll only be one a month, but it will be worth saving and opening.
Ok, I have a rescued Cocker that has allergy issues and is constantly for the 9 months that we have had him, shakes his head and scratches his ears. I have had an allergy test done and he us sensitive to most four legged animals and all root vegetables. He has grass and tree allergys. I have changed his diet to fit his sensitivities and he still has ear issues even when he shows no infection involved. He wont let anyone touch them unless he has a muzzle and is hekd down. He is very reactive when he goes to the vets. I feed him a combination of holistic kibble and freeze dried raw with vegies mixed in at times. Along with chicken and chicken liver treats. He has gained a lot of weight all if a sudden after he was neutered and his energy level has dropped so I am suspecting a thyroid problem and will get that checked. Any other suggestions dietwise?
Hi Sandra,
There is certainly a lot I could offer by way of help, but it would need to be a consultation in which I can assess the whole history, develop home made recipes geared to your dog’s unique needs and add herbs accordingly. If you’d be interested in a consult, please know I am booking about 4 weeks in advance right now, but would be more than happy to discuss the consult/get you booked anytime. Please email me at catlane@thepossiblecanine.com if you’d like to move ahead – this is too complex to be of much use with casual, generic suggestions.
