Separation Anxiety and Your Dog

Posted on by

Separation anxiety is one of the most common problems that dogs develop. It’s an anxiety disorder, and is defined as a state of intense panic brought on by the dog’s isolation/separation from her owner(s).

In other words: when you leave for work in the morning, your dog is plunged into a state of nervous anxiety which intensifies extremely quickly.

Dogs are social animals – they need plenty of company and social interaction to keep them happy and content. No dog likes to be left alone for long stretches of time, but some dogs do a lot worse than others: these are the ones most prone to separation anxiety.

There are a number of contributing causes to the condition:

– Some breeds are genetically predisposed towards anxiety and insecurity, which is something you should consider when deciding which breed you’re going to go for (particularly if you’re going to be absent for long stretches of time). A few of these breeds include Weimaraners, Springer Spaniels, German Shepherds, and Airedales

– A significant proportion of dogs from shelters develop separation anxiety. Most of these ‘shelter dogs’ have undergone significant trauma in their lives – they’ve been abandoned by their previous owners – and thus they have little trust that their new-found owner (you) isn’t going to pull the same trick.

How to treat arthritis, vomiting and diarrhea

Sometimes I envy other vets.

I guess it’s embarrassing to tell you that. But it’s true. They are the “specialists”- the ones who can fix any type of broken leg or diagnose the most unusual disease.

Treating pets with alternative at home remedies never came easy to me. My first attempts at using alternative medicine didn’t always work. I remember one time how I tried to direct a pet owner in applying a simple topical treatment for a hot spot.

It was a mixture of tea and aspirin. The owner thought that the dog should drink it.

Fighting the Worms in Dogs

Posted on by

Dogs are readily susceptible to worms and parasites. Unfortunately, with their natural unrestrained feeding habits, there’s no way to prevent worms in dogs. However, when infected dogs show symptoms, there are lots of options to flush these worms in dogs and control the spread of the infestation.

The best way to curb infestation of worms in dogs is to monitor its diet. Human food may be given, but not when it is starting to get bad. Disposing of rotten food should also be done with care, lest dogs may topple garbage bins over and feed on the trash.

Here are the most common parasites, worms in dogs, their accompanying symptoms, and their treatment.

Vet Advise – Part 2 – How to Treat Common Conditions of the Eyes, Ears and Nose

Now let’s hear from Dr. Andrew Jones!

How I discovered Veterinary Secrets that let people heal their pet at home, and how to treat common conditions of the eyes, ears and nose.

The way I discovered Veterinary Secrets Revealed was by learning from many people. I read books-hundreds of books. I went to seminars and conferences – 123 and counting. I consulted with holistic specialists- Homeopaths, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Massage therapists, Chinese Medicine practitioners and Herbalists.

I tried these remedies on my clients- and they often worked. I recall one of my first clients 15 years ago, a sweet little Jack Russel named Jessie.

Jessie came in to the clinic feeling sick. Blood tests, X-rays and a liver biopsy showed that Jessie had a severe liver disease that was ‘incurable’. I put her on all the conventional medication – It did not help one bit. As she got sicker, I felt helpless as to what to do.

So, I talked to an herbalist. She suggested trying an herb called Milk Thistle. I was skeptical, being a new graduate from Vet school – but I thought, why not try it? My boss thought it was a waste of time and money.

But it worked. Jessie recovered from the liver disease and her blood tests showed normal liver function 3 months later after taking it.

From that moment on, I was hooked. I incorporated alternative medicine into regular veterinary practice.
