Daisysmom Posted March 23, 2003 Author Posted March 23, 2003 I will keep that in mind, thanks! I will give this method a couple of days, and I should hear from the holistic vet too, and will ask her. Quote
Prairie_Gurl Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 My thoughts are with you Daisy!!! We're all cheerin for yea!!! Quote
daisykatep Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Good luck to you and daisy. Going to see a holistic vet sounds good. I know a couple of dog owners who swear by them. In fact one dog the vet gave up on (it had bowel problems) a holistic vet cured it completely so go for it :D This dog had the problem for 4 years) :x Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 23, 2003 Author Posted March 23, 2003 Can you find out more about that for me daisykatep? Sounds very similar..... :roll: Thanks all!! Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 SOUNDS GOOD SHE IS A BIT BETTER TODAY :) I WILL KEEP HER IN MY THOUGHTS Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 Well, the holistic vet called me today at work and suggested that I look into a homeopathic treatment for her. Any ideas anybody? She did give me the name of a vet, but said she would charge me for the phone consultation, ugh! I can't even tell her what's wrong without her charging me??? Quote
Guest roo Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Charge you for talking to her on the phone :evil: And being able to do a consultation over the phone :oops: Hey are you sure its not a animal phsycic :o I am sure you could get info through the net free Quote
alicat613 Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Oh lame. Sounds like your area is not the best for holistic vets... I can't believe that's all they suggested. I like holistics because they look at the whole animal and lifestyle when looking for problems. Well there are books. Dr Pitcairn's book is awesome. You can't really screw up homeopathic treatments in this case. How is she doing? Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 The holistic vet actually recommended Dr Pitcairn's book. She seems to be getting better. Still pooping in the house, but again, I think it is getting firmer. (Hubby "saved" it for me, so I could look at it! - Wasn't that nice of him :lol: ) I think I will keep her on this diet for a while and see how she does. I feed her a mix/alternate of rice, yams, natural yogurt and some EN with a sprinkle of slippery elm at every meal. Seems good so far. Anything else I can add excpet for the beef? Edit: I am sure you could get info through the net free I looked, but really didn't find much. I have to look again. Thanks Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 25, 2003 Author Posted March 25, 2003 Guess what everybody?? Daisy didn't poop in the house last night (first time since getting out of the hospital) :laola: I think she is on her way to recovery!!!!!!!!!! Thanks everybody for all your help, especially alicat and roo!! Quote
Marble Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 THAT is some news we can all be happy about! Glad to hear it, hope she keeps on getting better :) Quote
daisykatep Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 daisymom, I asked the dog owner about the homeopathic treatment that was given to her dog with the bowel problems, she said the dog was put on arsenic alb until the trouble had cleared up and then put on a special diet with no red meat for about 2 months and then gradually back to her normal diet and she's okay now. Apparently it was colitis. Her own vet just kept on giving her anti inflamitory injections with no proper examination, the homeopathic vet was more thorough going into her general health and diet etc. She now goes to the homeopathic vet every time the dog needs any treatment for any ailment and is very pleased with the way he cures her dogs. Also with homeopathic medicine there are no side effects and it is completely safe. Anyway enough of me droning on :roll: I'm really pleased Daisy is on the mend :beerchug: Hopefully it won't return :D Quote
Guest roo Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 So pleased she is improving :lol: :lol: :lol: Now keep up with what you are doing and dont change anything :o roo Quote

It makes the animal very, very sick. Why was Arsenic used? That is not a biologic, nor considered a homeopathic. Hum...can you find out why Arsenic was used? Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 25, 2003 Author Posted March 25, 2003 I think I WILL stick with what I am doing!! Not only is it good for her, but she really loves it too :eating: You can tell she still isn't right, but getting there :B-fly: Quote
behle Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Daisymom..Congratulations on your nursing care. This is wonderful news. :klacz: I am so relieved for you. Quote
daisykatep Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Arsenic Alb is a homeopathic treatment for upset tummies in dogs and humans, I have used it on my dogs recently. It's not toxic, completely safe in fact, look it up in a homeopathic book or alternative medicine site. You have to understand about how it works before you comment on it. I hope you haven't scared people off of using it. The homeopathic vet in our town prescribes it all the time. I'm sure he wouldn't want to kill off all our dogs! I'd like to hear your comments on thi :roll: Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 26, 2003 Author Posted March 26, 2003 I'd like to hear your comments on this From Who? Quote
bk_blue Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Yay for Daisy!! :bday: :bday: :bday: I think Daisykatep means Hobbit- *clang* round one! :wink: Actually I would be interested to know too- how does the arsenic work? or is it arsenic alb, something different? :-? Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 :wink: I knew who she meant. But, it wasn't posted as far as I know. Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 Well, she only made it two nights in a row. Back to cleaning up in the middle of the night for hubby. Sigh..... Quote
