These are all things I’m doing for my dog with DCM and she is outliving her prognosis. She has shown improvement at each cardiologist appointment 👍🏻
Should we use these 3 magic treatment beside the vet medication?
Is she also on the meds as well?
@@kmash8512 id love to know too
If its not to late please rewatch the first part dr Jones says it can be used with vet meds
How is she doing
I love how he talks to the animals.. he has a naturally calming voice & the animals are listening.. ";-3
Thanks Zanni :-)
Welcome ":-3
I wish that I had done more of my own research when our Chihuahua was diagnosed with CHF. We relied on our vets advice. She was on furosemide and vitmeden. She didn’t have any symptoms other than after 3 weeks when she had a hacking cough for less than a minute, followed by rapid breathing. This happened three times and each time we got her to the vet to be told that there were no signs of fluid in her chest. She was back to normal within an hour each time. On the third visit with the same symptoms they scanned her to find excessive fluid in her lungs and the oxygen and additional furosemide they gave her didn’t work. She was only days away from seeing a cardiologist. I’m devastated that we lost her this way and can’t understand why she got so bad so quickly in the end. She was still full of energy, she didn’t have a persistent cough and she really seemed fine otherwise. I wish I had some answers as to why this happened.
My 14 year old just passed in June 2019 from chf. I gave him Co Q 10 , they love the taste .. He also took a calcium channel blocker and lasix . I felt it was time and when the vet showed me his x rays, I knew it was time, he had no more room to breathe. He lived 3 years after being diagnosed with chf. I miss him so much and still cry every day. Lost my other dog to Diabetes 3 years before, I've been through a lot of grief lately. I don't get over losing my furbabies, ever. I wish I had known about cbd oil sooner, I was getting ready to purchase him some, but by then , it was too late.
Sorry for your loss
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you.
I know. If only I knew about CBD for my sister‘s dog that died a month ago, maybe you could help with her seizures. Although Shellie had seizures the day she passed, or better they decided to put her to sleep. My sister just didn’t want her to suffer and she did live long, right terrier 17.5 years old. The reason I’m looking into CBD oil and looking into this video is because my dog of 14-15 years has heart condition, allegedly kidney issues, and hypoparathyroidism, which I fixed her calcium and vitamin D. I gave her powdered egg shower and prescription vitamin D for that. I could be talking on and on about a lot, about the reasons I decided to start fitting what the vet recommended, hills science diet, because of her kidney issues, but ever since she got a lump in her mouth and that is almost certainly cancer, I just couldn’t bring myself to give her this process food filled with ingredients that I don’t think we’re good her, especially corn, GMO corn. I never used to be neurotic about GMO and other things, but do yourself one favor, One thing that help me transition to fresh food, although I’m still trying to figure out the balance of ingredients, search on CZcams Dr. Becker and how she explains why you’re off your diet is important and most importantly her take on the pet food industry. Whether they know it or not, basically the food we’ve been giving them is bad. Even the best quality of foods. All the processing, the heat all these things, may not only because in your dogs cancer, and we all know how many dogs have cases of cancer, and diabetes… Basically one of the things she says is that these foods are highly caloric, filled with starchy ingredients, and dogs systems are not meant to process a lot of these ingredients that they put in these foods. And not enough meat. And that our dogs are certainly not omnivores, they are definitely carnivores. But he has a small amount of vegetables and fruits important to be added. It’s basically a lot a lot of information, and a lot of her videos are very long, but start looking into her and Rodney Habib, and they interview each other. There’s a black girl that I can’t remember the name because I just started watching her videos on nutrition, and her interview any other doctors. Because my dog has cancer I’m not doing raw, but I also transition my other two dogs away from kibbles and into cooked foods.
Sorry for your loss. We are going through the same thing with my wife's favorite dog a little min-pin chi mix 8years old. I sure hope it gives her some more time because this little dog is one of God's finest gifts to this world. She is unconditional, unbelievable pure sweet little girl that has never taken only Given to others in her short life. I may loose faith in all existence if such a loving giving lnnocent little thing like her is taken from this world before her time.
so sorry for your losses,
Hey doc I got my dog dandelion drops and it seems to be working. He looks and seems like he feels better .less coughing , more energy .thank you for helping us
When did you notice a difference in your pup's behavior? After a month or so? Just curious as I'm just starting these on my girl. Thank you!
Michelle Herrera how has your dog been doing? My senior boy has been having frequent coughing episodes. Would love to know if anything helped your girl!
What drops did you use does it have alcohol in it
What drops? Please let is know
The other component is getting your dog on a sodium free diet. That means no added salt. If you read the ingredients on dog food labels there is at least one type of salt/sodium. This isn't acceptable. I did my research and the only commercial dog food I found was Orijen and Arcana dry kibble. (Their canned is absolutely loaded with salt!) So what I did was begin making homemade dog food as the topper for the kibble. I mixed beef or chicken with cooked apples, just a bit of sweet potatoes, cooked carrots.. I didn't get fancy with the homemade bc the Orijen is so packed with amazing nutrients. I pureed it bc it goes further. Also I used organic meat without added sodium. Yes esp chicken has been injected with sodium to make it look larger. I always boiled the meat too.
Anyway my dog Milo (jackhuahua) was diagnosed at 8 yrs old and the vet gave him 3 yrs MAX. Well we beat those odds! He lived to 19!! He had a very active routine too. We went on a nice walk 2x / day. And when he got tired, I'd put him in the doggie stroller I took with us. He was also on the "big 3" lasix enalapril pimobendan. But I am convinced that his diet is what kept him healthy for so long. My sister tried this with her dog and got the same results. RIP Milo Dec 8 2016 :(
I miss him tremendously
I appreciate your story and the phenomenal information that you shared. Gif bless Milo. He knows that you loved him. ❤
According to the calculators, Sodium is an important nutrient. Never too much, but the right amount.
Thank you for this video. My 14 year old Chiweenie got diagnosed last night with an enlarged heart. He was coughing a lot and became more lethargic than his regular self. I adopted him a year ago, I wish I had him from a puppy. I will cherish whatever time I have left him
Thank you for the wonderful tips.
Amazing information Dr. Thank you for another Perfect video, as Always!!!
Great video. Very informative. You are so kind.
He’s so cute!!! Love watching your videos! Thank you for Sharing your knowledge
You're awesome Dr. Jones❤
I just found out my yorkshire has heart failure.I feel heart broken...I am going to follow everything in this video.Thank you so so so much for this video Dr Jones.
I'm sorry! I hope you can find ways to cope with your yorkshire's diagnosis
We have a little 9 year old Yorki/Maltese crossbreed (Morkie) who means the world to us. A heart murmur was discovered this spring. From there, we went to a cardiology appointment and learned she has degenerative valve disease and will face CHF. She is on Stage B2. The cardiologist prescribed Pimobendan and it seemed to cause all of the problems it was meant to prevent. We are at a loss about what to do. We were told that Pimobendan keeps dogs from progressing into CHF phase. Yesterday I stopped by our local vet which advised to check out holistic health medicines for her.
Thank You for sharing. Very and More informing than my own Vet
*Thank you so much for this detailed, concise information. Have a beautiful weekend. Haircut looks great!* 👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹🌹👍🌹👍🌹
I am definitely going to see if this can help . Thank you !
Thank you fom the bottom of my heart you are a hero for the puppies thank you so much again 🙅♀️🐶🥰🌈
I came here the other day so I could help my morkie poo who just turned 3 years old (my pfp) feel better with his congestive heart failure. I come to realize that it was too late, and there was nothing I could do to help my poor dog anymore. I watched him collapse right in front of me yesterday as he could not breath any longer. He was unfortunately born with this condition, but Thank you for this video ❤️❤️
That’s so sad, I’m sorry.
Can I ask what it was like leading up to the collapse?? Like how often he was coughing
You are the best vet in the world....just a fact!
I actually understood him❣ Yay & thanks Doc.
You’re most welcome!

We will hopefully use these on my parents dog and she’s 12 and we’ve had her since I was 11.
She’s been having a lot of coughing lately.
This was very helpful. Thank you so much. I will share..
Welcome
So appreciate this man!
Thank you!
Thank you so much...now I feel I can do something for my boy......Bless you for the care of animals....takes a special person like you !!
You are so welcome. Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for sharing. 💙
Thanks I truly appreciate you
thank you for a good video dr jones and hi to griffin
Thanks, Doc. My dog is showing signs of heart failure. In addition to vet tests and whatever medicine they prescribe, I will use what you suggest.
We tried these products and our dog is more comfortable at night, now. Thanks for sharing.
Soooo thank you!
Griffin is adorable. I love his grunting with satisfaction when you are scratching his chest and head. Such a cutie!
Dr Jones, I cannot thank you enough for this valuable information! I rescued two small dogs both with heart murmurs. Now one of them, a Malti-Poo has started coughing - sounds like Kennel cough. I cannot afford heart medication at present. But I have some CBD oil I bought a while back. I also have Co-Q10 and can buy the Dandelion extract or add the leaves to his homemade stew. This should alleviate his coughing and make heart stronger. I walk both my small dogs 1-2 miles daily going at their pace and they are strong and robust in muscles, and eat an excellent variety of homemade foods + kibbles. But they are both 14 yrs old and were neglected prior to my getting them, and products of puppy mills, so this is expected. I am very grateful for this video as it will improve my dog's health hopefully. If it does not, I will see the vet and put him on drugs. Many thanks!
But keep doing it naturally because vet med can give possible harmful serious side effects .Or secondary more health problems issues .
I simply can't thank you enough for starting this channel! With many vets being quite leery of homeopathy, you're a welcome & wonderful fresh breath of air! 💖 #loveveterinarysecrets 💖
Thanks @Whitney Stanek
Whitney Stanek I don't think vets are against homeopathy at all or the ones I've been around seem fine with it.
He's been on CZcams for about ten years.
@@VeterinarySecrets can I give my pug hawthorn ..he has heart failure ..
@@jeannette419FYI: my dog gets hawthorn from my own hawthorn tree. She is 18 years old.... I use a small amount like 1/8 tsp of dried berry powder daily.
Well so glad she is O.K. Thanks, as always for the suggestions and for sharing your experience. I must get fresh pepper spray, my old one gave out.
Thanks
love the haircut, 👍 . Thanks for all the info
Thanks Marla :-)
I recently lost my Boston Terrier to a heart murmur, I gave her the lasik, misspelled, every other day. I would make bone broth and give her diatomacious earth once a week. She lived about a year after her diagnosis. Thank you for yr video.
My heart goes with you. I lost my beloved dog in a matter of 3 weeks after falling ill and being misdiagnosed. She was in heart failure. I wish I had an extra year with her 💝🐕
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much
Excellent thank you, wish I had known this a couple of years ago before I lost my precious last dog. At least I have the knowledge now. Thanks again.
Welcome Maureen
I’m sorry for your loss Maureen.
I had a dog with heart issues from young, and he coughed at night and water caming up. Awful. So i put him onto hawthorn extract. Hawthorn, bark, leaf, flower and berry makes the heart muscle stronger. He had one capsule a day for life. No meds.
Hi this hawthorn extract, bark, leaf, flower and berry where do you buy this? is all this made together? do you have a name? what is the name of this capsule he had per day for life. I don't want to put my dog on meds, but he is coughing a lot now. I had him on primalix and does not seem to be helping him to stop coughing. I have a welsh cocker spaniel 15 thanks
What is the name of this capsule? Where do you purchase it? I noticed you haven't answered the other person who asked the same question. I hope you answer the question, thank you.
Dr. Jones has a video titled: Herb For Dog And Cat Heart Health published around October, 2019. I think you can make it yourself. I go to a store by the name of Sprout’s (I live in a small town and health food coops do not exist here), I get the tincture. Dr. Jones states that for there are few to no side effects for Hawthorn. He also has attached a link for a study on hawthorn for one of the viewers that commented. Hope this helps, and that you can still try it on your dog.
Its called PetWellbeing Young at Heart for dogs and you can order it on Amazon.
Can yoh provide a link to this product? Thanks
Thank you for the info ❤
Welcome
Ty as always & shared.
Thank you for your videos! Just found out my senior dog has a bad heart murmur and I can't tell you how much I appreciate this information!
Welcome
How is he doing?
He's a cutie. He seems sassy too :). This was two years ago so I hope he's still doing well.
Yes still strong :-)
Thank you so much for the information. I didn't realize that dogs could take Coq10
Thank you so much 🥰
You’re welcome!
@veterinarysecrets , please, if you could, answers some of the questions below. There are some really good questions
thank you
Thank you for this video and your time to share things that will help our dogs live a longer healhier life. 😊 My question to you is would these remedies help well with Chronic Valve disease? My dog was recently diagnosed with this and I'm trying to find natural remedies that can help him.
Fantastic video, so informative I truly enjoyed. My little dog does not have heart disease, should I be giving this to her anyway to help her heart since she's 10 years old?💃
These remedies have changed my baby’s life!!!!! Thank you, Dr. Andrew!!!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough!!! Do you have any suggestions to help a dog with chf sleep??!! My lil one cannot seem to get any rest!!!! I would be beyond grateful for any of your stellar advice!!!;D
I read that Melatonin helps for that
Thank you
You're welcome
Your model is ADORABLE!! I love him!
Edit: I came here because over a year ago my 13 year old dog Frank was diagnosed with a grade 1 murmur. The vet also claimed they believed my 9 year old dog Lucy had cushings. I opted to stay as natural as possible. First and foremost to not put them through unnecessary stress. I took them completely off kibble and put them back on a raw diet. I began adding supplements to their food two of those being CBD and Dandelion root. I did this primarily because I was told per Lucy's blood draw that she was "going through menopause" on top of "likely cushings". For Frank, I made sure he was getting plenty of methionine/cysteine in his diet to create adequate levels of Taurine. For many years I had them on a grain free diet so they may have had issues with improper levels of key nutrients as a result. Personal thought is grain free isn't the problem but the legumes are (which are used as a binding agent for grain free kibble). A binding agent is not needed in a non-kibble grain free diet (i.e. raw, home-made cooked, etc.).
The cbd was to help with mood stabilization for Lucy's "menopause" and the dandelion was to support her liver in case of early cushings (which I still don't believe she has). Just last week, I took a break from adding those two things to their meals. The result was astonishing. Frank's cough (the vet said was from heart disease) had returned. I will be adding the two supplements back in and editing this commenting with the result. I feel that this backs the thoughts on these two aiding in heart disease with dogs.
Thank you Dr. Jones for all you do. I hope you know the countless lives you enrich on a daily basis. Wishing you many blessings!!!
Thank you. Love your knowledge. I’m disappointed I drug my feet and didn’t sign up for your seminar on CBD oil .
We had a dog on Lasix, vetmedin , & liquid viagra. Heart specialist put him on it. As crazy as it may sound it helped him a lot. He did pass away but for as bad as his heart murmur was he lived a lot longer than expected. His 3 kids all have heart murmurs as well 😢
Careful to add dandelion leaf if your dog is on Spironolactone as it helps with potassium loss due to lasix. Dandelion is also high in potassium.
Hi doc, may I ask if ginger is also effective and safe for puppies that has heart failure? Research says it's safe but consulting to you can make assurance. I love all your videos, been watching everyday. Thanks for the info!💗
Thank you doctor for all your help. My pets think you are awesome and so do i!!
You're welcome and thanks for watching!

GRIFFIN IS GORGEOUS
SUCH A PET SO SORRY HE GOT A BAD HEART.X
He is great and doing well
Thank you so much, Doc. Our 15yo schnoodle just got diagnosed with heart murmur and the pharma regime is expensive, more than we can handle over time. We spend a lot more on vet care than we spend on medical care for ourselves, because I've been studying and relying on herbal and other alternative medicines, along with diet and decent exercise, for most of my adult life. It is a huge blessing to be able to extend my preferred treatment modalities to my animal companions.
Hi, What is your natural regime for your schnoodle? How is she doing? Does she only do natural?
@@RosieMontoya Hi. We have the CoQ10, the CBD, and Dandelion leaf tincture for the heart issue, as outlined in the doc's video here. Not yet only using natural for the heart issues. The diagnosis is brand new and I'm wanting to wait until he's stabilized. If we'd started a few months ago when this cough first started to develop (it sounds like he's trying to cough up a hairball, and I'm ashamed to say I didn't take it seriously), the natural stuff would have been easy to use exclusively. At this point, I'm struggling about taking him off the pharmaceuticals. Actually, I appreciate your inquiry because it's made me realize that we can easily just adjust the meds if needed, and I need to stop being captive to my fears. See, even someone dedicated to natural healing for 40+ years can still struggle.
Perfect timing, Dr. Jones! My boy is on those plus enapril and thyroid. Hate all the meds but he is almost 17 so he's had a wonderful life and we cherish him! We were wondering about whether the CBC would help and if it could be used with those meds so Thank you! He's still going for his little walks and eating good so good quality of life but he is starting to get anxious when we leave. We give our other boy CBC for his anxiety so I will try with him! Thanks again!
Welcome Megan
You mean CBD very good hope everything will work good.
CBD yes hope everything will work for you.Cheers
My beloved cocker spaniel died of heart failure back in March. She's started coughing and in 3 weeks she was dead. Her 1st diagnoses was for kennel cough which she's given antibiotics. After a week with no improvement she had an xray it showed her lungs packed with fluids and a large heart. She started with diuretics immediately but it was too late. She died on the same night it's horrendous. I never felt so heartbroken like that before. Thanks for the wonderful eye opening video. I just found out my new adopted dog has a heart murmur so I'm taking all the precautions I possibly can.
Thank you for this Video.Can You Add Links for all of these ingredients? THANKS Again 👍👍
ROLL TIDE!!! 🥰🥰🥰
My Shih Tzu has heart disease with other illness. She is on Furosemide now with other medication and inhaler once a day. She is 11 yrs and each day is a blessing. I have thought about the CBD, so will ask Vet next visit. Cute pug. Thanks for the video!
Welcome
Vet are skeptical about holistic but let see what they will said about
Ok, so I rarely comment on videos but let me tell you, you saved my a$$! My boy Koda is a king charles spaniel. He will be 15 this February. He has been living with a murmur for the past couple years. He takes vetmedin enaprapil and Lasix. He ran out of his Lasix right after we moved. Set up an appointment with the new vet but the old vet would not renew because he was one week past his 1 year! Literally one week. Anyway it was so clear that Koda needed the Lasix coughing all the time and hard bloated belly. I quickly looked up what I could do in the interim and found you!!!! I ordered the liquid dandelion leaf on Amazon for like 20 bucks and after 3 or four doses over the last two days his belly is soft again and he is not coughing at all! Not at all!!!!! Thank you so much for this. This is so good for people like me who have the diagnosis already but need some alternatives! You are my new hero!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Could you tell me which brand you purchased? please
Brand plz
My buddy is ill.
He's a little old, 12 years old now almost 13, he's been in the family since I was in junior high school....
He has been restless for a few months now and has had breathing problems and what seemed to be a brief collapse.
I took him to the vet for a routine checkup and he confirmed a strong heart murmur, as well as possible entherite or colon cancer... He said that the main problem is the second that the heart can wait and scheduled an x-ray and ecg for next month...but for the agitation I forgot to tell him about the episode in which he had a fainting spell...
I read that dogs affected by CHF (congestive heart failure) have very low life expectancy max 6 months 1 year ...
Besides the possible tumor...
I'm very afraid of losing him, it's funny that at the beginning I hated him, I didn't want him, then he broke into my heart, with those beady eyes and the big nose, so cheerful and hyperactive, he jumped around like a kangaroo, he did so many pranks when he was young... I'm almost addicted to him, he's the only real friend, a part of my soul... I regret having neglected him several years ago, too busy with teenage dramas.
How do you handle loss? I'm not capable, I hate even more the fact that in time I will forget him... as if he never existed. The house will be so cold and empty...and I'll get used to it like nothing happened.
hi ❤ how are u now? just reading this and i’m in the same spot :(
Wow I feel like I could have written this entire thing myself. My dog Buddy has recently started fainting from what we believe is mostly likely CHF since he also has a cough and heart murmur. We’re not sure how long he has, and I feel your exact sentiments word for word. Don’t know what I will do without him-he’s my life.
try the natural remedies mentioned in the video, you have nothing to lose !!
CoQ10. When I was in med school I saw chem-induced cardiomyopathy (oncology) patients' LVEF rise from 10-20 to 60 post therapy.
Griffen is adorable.
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful. Ty. How do u make ur dog tincture? With glycerite !?! I wld think non alcohol. What's the formula or ratio!?!
Love that puggy
What a great little patient! Love his grunts and snorts. :D Question: are these homeopathic treatments to be used instead of or in combination with the dog's veterinarian medications?
I use them together.
@@bigdogsrescue Google search I found than can't combine diuretics like dandelion with furosemide I wonder this true or a lie for not let people use alternatives
@@Victorm61767 research or consultation with a professional is smart before giving your pet anything. We treat cancer dogs with DCM and use Dandelion Root and often Lasix if needed. But a careful eye to lab results and monitoring of urinary output are routinely done. But even Digoxin has been given along side Hawthorn in some cases. Holistic medicine is based on science and their use requires care.
Ok thanks
Dr Jones you are amazing and a beautiful person to share your helpful holistic knowledge with us all to help our furry babes!
I have ordered items for my Yorkie with CHF but have slipped up and have received capsules instead.
Am I able to use them if I divide? If so what dosage would you suggest fir a 3kg Yorkie please?
I have the Hawthorn Berry 434mg capsules
Also Dandelion Root (missed three leaves part sorry) 1000mg
Hope you can help thank you x
Hi- the dandelion root won't really help. The hawthorn dose is approx 2mg/lb twice daily so you would need approx 1/10 of a capsule daily.
Dr Andrew, we 've been using a citronella base cleaning spray for our home and thinking about getting some citronella plants. Do you think it's a good idea cause we heard that in antibarking citronella has been used a lot.
Dr Jones looking for your video of trestments for dogs ear issues
Where can I buy these items for my dog blue,great video.
Hi I love following you in gives me a sense of freedom for alternative care for my 4 fur kids. I had a question should I still give coenzyme Q 10 mg for my 20 pound dog that has heart disease even if I give him a tablespoon of beef heart or beef liver at each meal?
Can I use all three together with slippery elm too? Thanks Dr. Jones!
One of my dogs (13 yrs) has been on Vetmedin and furosemide for 9 months. He had to have his belly tapped as the fluid was building up so much he kept gagging. Draining the fluid helped for about three weeks. Now the belly is full again despite increasing the diuretic dosage. Will try adding the dandelion.
Thanks for sharing this! Our dog recently had an episode of collapse and issues breathing and we have been struggling to figure out what is actually going on with her. She does not have a heart murmur. The emerge we went to gave us Furosemide and Pimobendan. Our regular vet examined her after the incident and could not determine that anything was wrong with her. About a week later she had another episode where she was having issues breathing on the inhale. We had an in-home vet come and do an assessment on her and she prescribed Prednisone and Cerenia. After a week of being on all 4 medications (oh and I forgot to mention, our pup has low thyroid and is taking Laventa 0.025mL twice daily before meals) we noticed that she was having an easier time breathing at night, which was good, but upon withholding the regular dose of the heart medications (furosemide and pimobendan) she did seem to have some struggle breathing, so we now have to take her for an ultrasound to determine if we are treating an upper respiratory disease or a heart disease. Our emerge visit, her medications, and the cost to see our vet and an in-home vet has far surpassed the cost of our rent for one month. Now our vet is saying that she may have Pulmonary Hypertension, which I guess is better than CHF in terms of quality of life, but it has been a bumpy ride. In 2017 she started to lose her coat and it wasn't until 2019 that she was put on thyroid medication to help with the treatment of this. In the meantime, we tried a number of the foods on the list of dog foods that are associated with heart failure (Zignature's kangaroo formula to be specific) to try and confirm if it was an allergy or alopecia-X. When she was a puppy we fed her Fromm almost exclusively, so we can't help but feel responsible. She's only 6.5 years old, I just want her to be well. Our other pup has been struggling with anxiety so we happened to have some CBD dog treats in the house (they didn't work for our boy's anxiety, his compulsive licking is made worse by it) and I started giving these to her when I noticed they would help her calm down at night. Just wish I had a magic wand that would give me all the money required to treat our girl and get this all sorted out.
How is your little one doing? What prescriptions meds did your vet give your dog in the end?
@@fatz617 we ended up putting her down. Everything in my note above is what we gave her. We didn’t have the money to pay for extra testing to find out more and I just had to come to peace with the fact that our journey together was ending. It will be two years this fall since she has passed. The day you sent me this message I think it was her trying to communicate her presence. She’s always with me and watching out and I still love her more than words can describe. Wishing you the best on your journey 💜
There is many different brands of dandelion in different strengths can you please clarify how many mg of dandelion per pound? One ml can come in different strengths depending on the brand. Ty
He was perfectly healthy 3 wewks ago then he had just collapsed out of the blue then became lethargic after. We took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with hook worms( still couldnt explain the collapsing) we were given medication saying he would be fine. He only got worse took him back in and he came out with he has heart failure and fluid on his lungs. We were shocked and devastated. Now he we are 3 weeks later and he hasnt ate for 6 days we are giving him beef broth through a dropper. I have done research and now have him on dandelion, hawthorne and cbd. Those all seem to help his breathing and make him more alert but WE HAVE TO GET HIM TO EAT or hes gonna die. Please help we love him so much and will do whatever
Did he get better ?
Veg and fruits and Vit mix them on a blender and give by mouth with a small teaspoon.
Ive found my little guy, who isn’t thrilled to eat, gets very interested in raw organ meat - tripe, liver, kidney.
Also, I’m blending it with freeze dried raw dog food and water, adding In vitamins as he tolerates them.
Put in a ziplock bag, cut a small corner piece off, add puréed food, and try feeding that way. Good luck!
Have you tried entyce, our rot/dob mixed stop eating we giving him entyce and he eats about an hour or two after taking it.
same for heart murmur currently no meds
Hawthorn should be there too like the other videos Dr has on
My dog has heart murmur and currently taking pimobendan 5mg and Salix 12.5. She’s a maltipoo, 15yrs old. She’s been coughing for about a 2 yrs, it last night she started coughing more often. My son suggested CBD, but which of the 3 holistic suggestions might work better for her? I asked vet, and like you said, because it has not been recommended for dogs, vet said I’d do it at my own risk. With your experience with some pooches already, what seems to work better if I have to continue giving her her meds? I appreciate your info and opinion.
I love your haircut, Doc 😍
Thanks :-)
Veterinary Secrets yes but make no mistake I love the curls as well. Either way my dear, you are blessed with an awesome head of hair. Many men could only dream of hair like that. Many thanks again, still and always. To the countless lives you have touched and changed and made possible to be healthier, and happier. You make it possible for us to take better care of those we care most about. 🐶
Nutrition, Nutrition & more Nutrition!!!!
VETINARIAN’s don’t address enough!!!!!!!
OK and good suggestion!
I'm sure it's different for each dog, but generally speaking, at what point would I notice a difference when using these holisitic treatments? After one month, two months, etc.? My dog was diagnosed back in october, looking for ways to ease her coughing.
I thank Heaven for you💜
My dog is only 6 lbs so how would I give her the Coenzyme Q10 when its in a capsule form. Thank you
May I old know the strength for dandelion, Q 10 please?
What brand would you recommend?

It would be great if you started a FaceTime program a 10 minute conversation with people and you charge them you would get so many people I would be your first one LOL.
