Our 15 month old short hair, Winnie, received a 3 year rabies and 3 year distemper vaccine yesterday at noon. At 3:30 pm she vomited 5 times in 30 min. After that, no vomiting, seemed to return to normal and just rested throughout the night. This AM at 5, gave a little food and she drank water. She vomited a little but seems fine now.

Spoke with vet yesterday who recommended I try to give her only water last night. She did not want it. Had an urgent care appt last night at 9 PM but canceled because she was resting and had not vomited since 3:30 pM. Today I gave her the food and water and she vomited a little but is acting normally.
What is the danger to her? Vomiting is only dangerous after 24-48 hours right? What do you advise?

Many Thanks!

Hello

Did you try Dr Wheatgrass? Trying to figure this stuff out before it's too late,

With all the reading I've done it sounds if you apply a diluted mixture to the back of her neck she can absorb it that way with no problem and then maybe she'll start eating and drinking easier… as per the rattling when she coughs, get a lotion, Kleenex, like puffs, plus what it with olive oil, and put some eucalyptus on it and tie it to a vent or fan with a twisty tie, so that she cannot reach it, —do Not use Vicks or peppermint, they are drying and will produce more mucus in the long run— eucalyptus will clear up her lungs help clear up her nose and help her lungs not produce more mucus….. we use this on dogs with kennel, cough, cats with sinusitis or bronchitis and I'm pigs it works wonders:)

Heartworms and DE

To those who still have no idea what DE aka silica actually does. If only very little opal silica got into the bloodstream how does anyone explain how it grows nails, hair, stronger bones, tendons, cartilage, better skin and produces loads of collagen? While also removing aluminum, mercury, and all other heavy metals. Also removing mold, fungus, candida, bad bacteria, pathogens, chemicals and toxins of every sort. How on earth can it possibly affect your liver, kidneys, heart and all other organs and pull the garbage out of your brain and decalcify the pineal gland? How can it be seen in high amounts in your urine? Can you please explain how it is that silica manages quite well at removing all atherosclerosis from the arteries and removes inflammation if not through the blood? But it's going to leave the parasites alone. Can anyone at all tell us what the heart does? The heart pumps blood. In fact the heart pumps blood to every last cell in your body in under a minute. Can anyone tell me how silica is carried through the blood and heart at remarkable speed and high concentration but yet somehow a heart worm manages to miraculously avoid contact with the blood and opal silica even when it is literally in the absolute worst place it can be for a parasite? If there is one parasite that is most certainly in the absolute danger zone it is in fact the heartworm. By the way heartworms do not remain in the same place and location as they do move around a lot as well. Absolutely no one can tell me that heartworms are safe from death. It is incredulous that anyone who has a working mind and understanding of how the body works could ever claim heartworms are safe from impending doom. The same goes for all parasites in the body. DE also prevents heartworms by wiping out the threat as soon as fleas or other insects drink the blood they begin to die and whatever they pass is killed in the bloodstream as well. By Kareen Vasquez Might be anecdotal, but I helped rehome two dogs in Texas, which is heavy in heartworm cases. The owner couldn't afford heartworm medication, but did give her dogs DE. I was shocked when the dogs tested negative for heartworm. In Texas, an outdoor dog doesn't stand too good a chance in avoiding heartworm. A vet probably wouldn't agree, but I think it'd be an interesting experiment (for someone braver than me). By Johnny T Nguyen Neil Dailey 100% In the holistic dog group, people use DE to treat heartworms all the time with great success.

My mini-Aussie came into my life unexpectedly. I asked a friend what she fed her dog. Taste of the Wild. So I started giving him the beef and bison formula. He started scratching and biting at himself like crazy. A pet food store in Colorado recommended taking him off Taste of the Wild and putting him on a salmon-based kibble. Within 4 days his scratching and biting stopped. I now give him half raw beef/ half kibble. When I can afford it- I'll give him all raw meat.

I hope you/Donna consulted with a Holistic or Naturopathic Vet about your cat. If there isn't one near you, maybe you could learn enough in an online consultation to be of help.

Researching Catnip & using it myself, I discovered that when *ingested* it RELAXES one's MUSCLES ... (& also induces the body to perspire a little ... a welcome added relief for a hot day or night)! I wonder whether this relaxation of the muscles might help with your cat's twitching for a few hours at a time. Many cats will eat some, & often chill out for awhile afterwards. (It has helped me go to sleep on a hot summer's night many a time! )

Perhaps some of Dr. Bach's remedies contain xylitol (esp. those for humans) ... HOWEVER .. .

BACH RESCUE REMEDY for *PETS*is to provide pets Non-Drowsy Natural Stress Relief ... & I see *NO* mention of it containing any Xylitol as either an active or inactive ingredient ... Do you ...?

German Shepherd

He is almost three. Now has aggressive advanced lung cancer. And. Myocarditis. And I am taking him to to the vet today again. Is chewing through a spot in his skin by his hips. Overall since starting supplements and feeding raw only he seems better. Less hunched over struggling to cough out something. Haven't found any blood anymore. He is no longer panting terribly. Only occasionally. His eyes seem less glazed over. His mood better. More energy. I am supplementing very widely, lots of the best and different supplements. Appetite good.

With all the supplements he still eats up absolutely everything. The main issue now is the terrible itching. And the spot he has managed to damage. I am spraying down his coat with ACV, and alternating with colloidal silver. Today I brushed in DME. He has also lost a lot of muscle! I am concerned adding twenty supplements in one meal may interfere with absorption. He is on pancreatic enzymes. And I add DMSO to his meal. I am heavily supplementing sulfur. As long as he has good moments I will keep fighting. He sleeps snuggled on the bed nightly with me. As massive as he is. Such a sweetheart. I live alone. I am struggling to keep positive. My other GSDs coat maybe also affected. Will see what vet says in a few hours.

DILUTE the ACV first, 50/50 with water!

And do NOT rub ANYTHING into a wound with a brush!

Be CAREFUL to read all the positive experiences & learn from them! And the articles above them, too!

I used Dr. Schulze's Heart formula liquid, dosing three times a day, along with large doses of coQ10 and other supplements for my dog that was diagnosed February of 2022. I did that Heart formula for about a solid month, but do still give her a capsule of Now cayenne daily. (She had been prescribed the Furosemide and Enalapril but I stopped after a couple of days because it made her like a zombie.) She'll be 16 years old in November. The Vet had said she'd be dead in several months of her diagnosis, but now said she won't be dying from it.

Research taurine, it's what most dog foods lack.

Hi Katie,

My friend's dog has CHF. She has him on 4 prescriptions. Today they had to drain fluid from his abdomen. They're talking about euthanizing him. I've been going to her house twice a day to make sure he gets his meds. He has lost a lot of weight. That's another reason I started going everyday. To make sure he eats. He started doing better because I was making him eat and drink. I bought him the standard process Cardio plus. It should be here tomorrow. The vets here don't believe in natural healing and there's not any holistic vets anywhere close to us. The people at pet well being said young at heart can't be taken with his prescriptions. What would you recommend that I give him and how much? Theracurmin, cardio plus? I'll do whatever it takes. Thank you.

He's on FUROSEMIDE 40mg. 1/2 tab every 12 hours, PIMOBENDAN 5mg 1/2 tab every 12 hours, ENALPRIL 2.5 mg 1 tab daily. and today they added spironolactone 25mg 1/2 tab daily at noon.

Hi Nick,

We have some information on Earth Clinic about activated charcoal and other remedies for Lyme Vaccination side effects. Here is the page: https://www.earthclinic.com/pets/remedies-for-side-effects-lyme-shot-dogs.html. I would personally try the charcoal poultice first if my dog was having side effects. Also, I would give it internally. Colloidal Silver might be a helpful remedy...

 And in response to your reply about getting a biopsy, Art --

I learned when my elderly golden retriever had a huge lump around her shoulder blade from a woman who has a well-known Facebook page about the Tagamet protocol for cancer in dogs that you should be very careful with biopsies (especially for mast cell tumors) as they can spread cancer cells. I didn't read this until after my dog's tumor was biopsied. However, it grew rapidly and became enormous shortly after the biopsy, and she was gone within a few months. I can't say for sure the vet's needle aspiration caused the cancer cells to spread, but I just wanted to mention this even though Nick's post is about Lymphoma and Lyme Vaccine side effects.

Here's the Facebook page about the protocol with all the information. It works best on Mast Cell Tumors, not lymphoma unfortunately: https://www.facebook.com/TagametBenadrylCancerRemissionProtocol/

Nick, I hope your dog gets better very soon!

Nick,

If the vet is certain it is lymphoma, why doesn't he do the biopsy to confirm it, as discussed here?

https://vet.purdue.edu/wcorc/cancer-research/canine-lymphoma-research.php#:~:text=The best way to diagnose, lymph node (excisional biopsy).

Here is a relevant quote from the article :

' The best way to diagnose lymphoma is to perform a biopsy. A biopsy is a minor surgical procedure to remove a piece of lymph node or other organ affected by cancer.

The most common methods for lymph node biopsy are Tru-cut needle biopsy, incisional wedge biopsy, or removal of an entire lymph node (excisional biopsy). The larger the biopsy sample, the better the chance for an accurate diagnosis of lymphoma. '

My dog (Boxer mix) received a Lyme vaccine Monday Jul 24th. On Friday (7/28) he started having facial tremors (vets won't officially call it a seizure but could have been), uncontrollable salivating, pacing. Saturday morning, symptoms progressed to not moving at all, wouldn't eat. Since then, he has been better with meds (Steroid, anti-seizure, antibiotics). Neurologist is certain this is Lymphoma, although all test results have come back fine/negative. He still says Lymphoma can fly under the radar. I just can't wrap my head around it being a coincidence that 4 days prior to this, he received a Lyme vaccine. Any insight on where to go from here would be much appreciated. It very well could be Lymphoma but I am having a hard time believing this coincidence.

Do you think Dan from Dublin put the mixture in her mouth or in her food? My cocker spaniel has cancer in her mouth we did surgery without clear margins and now the cancer is back. This is the worst cancer to get.

NO, it should ONLY be SODIUM ASCORBATE! Calcium ascorbate is not utilized in either a cat or dog's body efficiently.

It sounds like this cat was nauseous.... I give my cats coconut oil when they get an acute tummy ache. If they won't eat it voluntarily, I smear it on one of their forefeet/legs for them to clean off. So far they've done so, & an hour later want to eat again. IF the catfood doesn't have live enzymes, those should be added.

Sorry I didn't see your post when you posted it! I hope your cat got better!

For now, tho, I'll share what I do for my community cats when they won't eat & seem to be uncomfortable, etc.... I offer them Coconut oil (or another natural treatment for food poisoning: GrapeFruit Seed Extract). If they won't voluntarily eat it, I wipe it all over their front paw/s. So far, even if not immediately, they have obligingly licked it off, and usually in about an hour they want their dinner. (I suspect they're eating next door, where it seems old food from a fridge is put outside for strays or opossums or? It often causes food poisoning, tho. The neighbors speak another language, so it's not easy to communicate.)

I have given the raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar to both cats and dogs. I started giving some to my cats daily in their moist food. One cat that always has fleas worse than others seems to be flea free. She always has little scabs and flea droppings on her fur. She has no scabs or fleas that I can see. This has been my experience.
