Pet Vaccines: New Standards for Dogs & Cats

Ask Dr. Carol, Cats, Dogs, General Health, General Health, Pet News No Comments »

NEW PRINCIPLES OF PET IMMUNOLOGY

Dr. Carol presents a Web Series on Today’s New Approved Veterinary Vaccination Standards  & Protocols for Dogs & Cats

“Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified live virus (MLV) vaccine is given after 6 months of age, it produces an immunity which is good for the life of the pet (ie: canine distemper, parvovirus, feline distemper). If another MLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect. The titer is not “boosted” nor are more memory cells induced.”

Not only are annual boosters for Parvovirus and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. “There is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual administration of MLV vaccines.”

Puppies receive antibodies through their mother’s milk. This natural protection can last 8-14 weeks. Puppies & kittens should NOT be vaccinated at LESS than 8 weeks of age. Maternal immunity will neutralize the pet vaccine and little protection (0-38%) will be produced.

Pet Vaccination given at 6 weeks will, however, delay the timing of the first highly effective vaccine. Vaccinations given 2 weeks apart suppress rather than stimulate the immune system. A series of vaccinations is given starting at 8-12 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age. Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4 months) will provide most pets with lifetime immunity.

Miracle Cat Defies Death Chamber

Ask Dr. Carol, Cats, Pet News 1 Comment »

A stray cat named Andrea, from  Utah managed to survive not just one, but two trips through the animal shelter’s gas chamber.

Needless to say, the shelter officials were shocked and ultimately realized Andrea’s zest for life was no joke…

This homeless feline wanted to live!

Several days later, little Miss Andrea got her wish, and is now living the good life with her new loving owner, Janita Coombs.

Utah animal shelter officials are still trying to figure the mishap with their gas chamber.

FDA Alert Dog Chicken Jerkys: Fanconi Syndrome

Ask Dr. Carol, Dogs, Kidneys, Pet News No Comments »

Since the FDA issued an initial warning 3 years ago, complaints are on the rise yet again. Today, November 18, 2011 the FDA issued another warning to dog owners.

Dogs affected may show signs ranging from a mild illness to Fanconi Syndrome.

Over the last year, increasing numbers of complaints have been reported to the FDA due to dogs eating chicken jerky products imported from China.

These complaints have been reported to FDA by both dog owners as well as veterinarians.

Pet owners feeding their dogs chicken jerky treats are advised to watch their dogs for any of these signs which may occur within hours or even several days after feeding  jerky pet products: loss of appetite, sluggish, vomiting and/or diarrhea with or without blood.

Some dogs may also show signs of canine kidney failure such as increased water consumption and/or increased urination.

If your pet shows any of these signs, stop feeding  dog chicken jerky’s, report this to the FDA and see your veterinarian.

Pet Blood tests may indicate canine kidney failure and urine tests may reveal sugar indicative of Fanconi syndrome.

 

Although most canines seem to recover, some dogs have died.

Diabetic Dog Thrives on Healthy People Food Diet

Ask Dr. Carol, Cats, Diabetes, Dogs, Pancreatitis, Pet Nutrition Comments Off

As a pet owner, do you wonder what you’re really feeding your dog? Was your canine a victim of the 2004 or 2007 Menu Pet Food Recall? Does your dog suffer from allergies? Did your dog get diagnosed with Cancer? Why did your vet recommend a “special” diet your dog doesn’t really like? Are you spending a fortune on your pet’s food?


Pet Food has become a true dilemma for many dog and cat owners! Ever think about home cooking for your pets but worried about making a mistake?

As a practicing holistic veterinarian for many years, many of my pet patients want to give their pets the very best, especially when it comes to pet food. The problem is how to figure out whats best for your pet.

This will be the first of my pet food series on Homemade Pet Diets:

Pawsitively Healthy Homemade Canine Cuisine…made with People Food

Poochys Pork Butts with Black Rice-n-Broccoli Florets

Step 1: Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil in a Dutch oven pot

Step 2: Sear two, three pound Organic Pork Butts, preferably the BONELESS CUT Ends, in a Dutch Oven and sear them on both sides until brown.
This also releases the porks natural flavors and juices.

Step 3: Add 4 Cups of distilled or filtered water to the seared pork.

Step 4: Place your Covered Dutch Oven containing the seared pork butts and water in your oven and cook (covered) at 350 degrees for 4 hours.

Step 5: After four hours the Pork will easily shred. Shred the pork and then add the 16 ounces of black rice. There will be flavored water and natural tasty juices left over in the Dutch oven that haven’t evaporated because the tight fitting lid retains the juices and flavor.

Muggs, the Diabetic Dog Thrives at Age 20!

Ask Dr. Carol, Diabetes, Dogs, Pancreas-Problems Comments Off

 

Dear Dr. Carol,

We had the pleasure of coming into contact with you about 2 years ago when our dog Muggs, a yorkie was about to turn 17 years old.

He was suffering greatly from Diabetes and we had him on a “Standard” Veterinarian Protocol of “Vetsulin”, a product you were kind enough to inform us about and warn us that this Product had actually been recalled.

We informed our Vet who knew nothing about the recall and insisted the product was safe and effective.  Why then, we wondered, was Muggs trending worse and worse while using the Vetsulin, suffering lethargy, disorientation, uncontrollable urination and excessive demand for water no matter how much he drank?

We were sadly considering putting Muggs down as his quality of life was lessening each day. You advised us to switch him over to a human insulin product readily available (and incredibly less expensive) at Wal Mart, and how to check his urine using readily available Test Strips.

You also provided us with a foolproof method of tracking his progress.  We are happy to let you know that Muggs will be celebrating his 20th Birthday on March 12 of 2012.  He has no clue how old he is and we have no intention of letting him know!

He’s happy, active, healthy, and has more teeth than I do!  I’m anxiously looking forward to trying out your Eye Essentials as a supplement to maintaining his current level of good eyesight (he easily recognizes Friends at the other end of the Block during our walks).

Dr. Carol, it was fate that brought us to you, and now it our mission to let others know that you are here for all of us with truth and knowledge and your Pet Products geared toward improving the life of our canine companions.

Much love from your Friends in Los Angeles…Walter, Lud, and Muggs..

Ask Dr. Carol, General Health, PAAWS Success Stories, Pet Nutrition Comments Off

Here is a nice letter I received from a client:

Hi Dr. Carol,

So glad you like the plants and can’t wait for you to see them bloom. They are always free for you.

Shib is acting like a superdog now! Aside from eating a little silica sand yesterday, which worried me terribly. I had gotten some sand for the patio pavers and I always do everything all natural and organic and didn’t see this was the silica sand and she lapped a little up and I wipe her tongue off immediately, but she probably swallowed a little bit. It said it was sand for dog and cat play areas on the bag. It said to drink water if ingested so I gave her extra water in her food… I don’t even let her eat the grass except at her house where its not treated. I worry about her alot, but especially since that crappy Vet her in Florida freaked me out. I still need to find a Vet here that can handle me following your suggestions. Sorry to tell you, but You are Shibs main Vet now. You are the best.

But, I have to say, you have set us on a whole new path where I feel real happy for her future. I am so grateful and thankful to you. I actually eat and take alot of what she does for many years and now with your help it is a such great feeling to have her on the same natural track too. You dispelled so much misinformation from my mind about treating dogs in the same way as humans. She is eating 75 % real food and 25% Newman’s adult kibble and all of her supplements and she seems to love it. She is like the Energizer bunny now, that’s for sure. And she has been going poo twice a day most of the week which is a big change. I also check all of the dehydration tests and she is good. Her coat and skin seem softer and I just think she is much happier this way. The Revolution seems to work well and I feel better about using that then the other kinds we tried. Do you think I should keep her on 25% Newmans because I am going to be traveling in about a month for a week or so with her and don’t want to shock her system if I have to give her more of the Newman’s on the road.

I would really love to make an appointment to bring Shib to see you at the beginning of August if you will still be in Ohio. I will be going to Illinois (Champaign) for August and September to start setting up a small nursery location.
Don’t know if you will still be in Ohio though.. I want to ask you about whether or not Shibby needs any other shots. I know they didn’t give her a couple that were due, but you also said they overdosed her on the ones she got..so I want to be careful and I like the fact that you teach people what vaccines they actually need and how much.

I would love to set up an appointment to talk with you about these things again but I don’t want to impinge on your schedule as I know how much you are helping all our beloved creatures big and small who have problems. Wish you could be my doctor too.. ha

Maybe I will call to reorder the vitamins, etc and see if we could have a talk when you have time. I want to pay you for any questions you answer and for the time you take for us..

Thank you so much!
Gretchen and Shib Vicious

I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful flowers you sent!!
They arrived safely; we re-potted them and are waiting for them to bloom.
Please keep me posted on your dogs progress and feel free to call me

Thank you again!!
