Natural Healing for Pets

[Sachita]

Today is a sad day. My old rottie was diagnosed with progressive bone cancer. It kept it at bay, slowed down, but now it won't be long. My heart is breaking. We had a wonderful life together. Now I'll spend whatever time I have with him making him comfortable and happy.

My heart goes out to you!It never gets easy letting go. Give yourself and your "baby" a hug from me.

Sachita, i am so sorry you're facing a hard time.

i have a bullie who has a very sensitive stomach and will throw up if he eats the slightest bit of anything other than Natural Balance potato & duck. The past several days, he has been eating less and has thrown it up a time or 2 (at least he always goes to the same spot to throw up).

Any suggestions on another sensitive tummy dog food i could try now that it seems like he's developing issues with his regular food?

thank you all. yes its really hard. I trying praying it away. He is so stoic and such a good dog.


My boxer has an ultra sensitive digestive system. I can't give him anything with grain. I wanted to switch him to organic because boxers are prone to cancer and in the past year I've seen at least 4 boxers I know of that developed cancer, I have him on Taste of the Wild. It's a good non-grain food.

I also suggest you feed him small amounts at a time. If you're feeding him twice a day a small amount, then wait 20 min and feed some more. If that works see how it goes. If you can get home to eat a tablespoon of organic non-filtered apple cider vinegar in his food once a day this will take time but help.

Sending big hugs your way! If I didn't have a full day of things that can't be pushed aside, and if my symptoms and malaise would subside for 12 minutes, I would be in the car headed to your place with a care package!

I know how much you love that pup and I am glad that you have had him in your life. You've suffered so much fur-baby loss already this year of your own and boarders.

Be gentle with yourself.

PS - I never saw your bluetoofie thing on Labor Day weekend. At least you didn't bring it into the house. The yard guys were here just last week but I will check again out near the parking area. It may in tee-tiny pieces!

Sachita, so sorry to hear. Have you tried acupuncture? Years ago I had a cat (Emma) who had bone cancer in her hips, and was so painful, that if you touched the area, she would go into an epileptic spasm. I was advised to take her to a local vet that specialized in animal acupuncture and the results were amazing. It gave her an additional year of a good life and no more seizures.

It made a believer out of me about acupuncture.

Best wishes with your Rottie...
