About Theresa

Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.

Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.

Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

Hey Isha!

Its very difficult to advise on natural treatments for your dog's nose bleeds without knowing the *cause*. Have you taken your dog to the vet for a diagnosis? Sneezing blood is almost always serious - you really need to take your dog to the vet.

I can think of three cases where dogs sneezed out blood; the first was my friend's Rat terrier, who had a foxtail up his nose and needed veterinary assistance to remove it from his sinuses. The second was my sister's Australian shepherd who at 15 started sneezing blood and the vet found he had nasal cancer. He was treated for 2 years for nasal cancer before he passed away. The third was a Dachsund that I was sitting who tried to run up a steep staircase and tripped, stubbing her nose on the riser; she sneezed out blood a few moments later and then it stopped, never to return - there I knew the cause and the additional lack of symptoms and bleeded warranted no vet visit.

If this were my dog, I would get the diagnosis first - and then come back for remedies to address the cause, as well as the symptoms.

My 12 y/o rottweiler/lab mix (Brooklyn) started sneezing blood. I took him to 2 different vets n ran an array of expensive tests. I was told right off the bat it could be one of 3 things (all bad). I was told it could be a deer tick, which causes lime disease, it could be a tick in his nose (don't remember what they said the outcome of that would be, but remember it was not good) or it could be cancer. All 3 were fatal outcomes. I ran all the tests desperatelygoing they were wrong. It turned out he had cancer in his head behind one eye. I was willing to do whatever it took to fix it. I would've paid whatever they asked. Brooklyn was the love if my life, my best friend and like my son. He was the best dog in the world. Extremely smart, super well behaved, great guard dog, amazing with kids n trained like a pro. However, the vet said she knew I loved him n would do anything for him, but even if money was no object, she wouldn't recommend the surgery because if his age. She said large dogs tend to live 11-13 years. He was 12, n to do the surgery they would have to permanently remove the eye to get to the cancer. He would spend the last year of his life getting used to one eye n doing chemo therapy, which would make him ill ask the time. She said if I did that, I would be doing it for me not for him. He began having seizures, diarrhea and was not himself anymore. As much as I loved him n didn't want to do it, I couldn't be that selfish n I knew I had to let him go with dignity. We had to put him to sleep to end his suffering. I know none of my answers are good n I am sorry. I hope your puppy does not have any of these things n I wish for the best.
