During one of your conversations about dog bowls you did mention glass as well as stainless steel. Do you have a good recommended company that sells the glass dog bowls that are safe? Thanks!
I'm working with a holistic vet who only vaccinates for Parvo. She's willing to order the other core vaccines Distemper and Adenovirus for me. What specific vaccines should I ask her to order?
Hi Dr. Coger. I just read your article on The Healthy Dog Workshop about Buying a Veterinarian - and it was absolutely brilliant. You laid out bare in an articulate fashion the issues that I have been aware of for the past 5 years or so, and it was incredibly relieving to hear it from a vet. Thank you - I think you have guts, and I appreciate that you are sharing your story.
Hi Dr Laurie, I paid for a consult but couldn't tell if my email went through. I hope we can still talk next week. Thanks!
Is there a way I can search your page? I'm trying to find information that can help me understand how to evaluate and reduce my dog's allergies or autoimmune issues...
I bought a flea collar for my puggles...they have been wearing them for at least 2 months now...they are only 6yo, males and very healthy weight etc...the seizure came outta nowhere...took him to the vet...hes stable and one of the 1st things I did was remove that dang collar! (seresto) and while waiting at the vet id remembered I needed to take the other one off his brother...so I flew home took it off and bathed him. I hope there's a class action suit because i'm traumatized...as is my little guy.
Hi Dr. Laurie, it gets a tad confusing when holistic vets say different things. Dr Becker says dogs need B vitamins regardless of the diet they are eating. Can I ask what you think about that?
Hi, I am reading your article about seresto and seizures. I had a seresto collar on my dog for about 3.5 months or so. He recently had a seizure, I immediately took the collar off and tossed it. It was has been 11 days and he had another seizure. Im not a Dr so I can't speak for severity but they were absolutely terrifying. I didn't even finish reading your post yet, I intend to go back to it, but do you have any suggestions on what I can try to do to make my dog feel better? My next step was to research CBD products. I just want him to feel better and I feel like too many vets don't take seizures very seriously.
We own an otherwise healthy Beagle, Cavalier King Charles spaniel cross. We recently bought a Seresto Flea and Tick Collar for him. Within one week of putting the collar on him he began to show signs of weakness and was having trouble climbing stairs he normally took three at a time. He is listless and has been eating grass and vomiting for two days. We removed the collar and we hope he will spring back from this.
I know you are against Seresto Collars and other collars. I totally agree. What essential oils could I use instead for my Shih Tzu?
what do you recommend for flea and tick control? I have two cocker spaniels, and they have had previous issues with seizures, and I think it is from the seresto collars,,my vets say not, but to coincidental that they both had issues. We live and wander in woods every day and the ticks are bad.
Hi Laurie. Someone sent me yr link about Seretso collar... thank you. The essential oil that you recommended doesn't ship to my country (South Africa) Can you pls comment on Diatomaceous Earth Powder & Apple Cider Vinegar? I've been giving my doglet D Earth 2x a day in her food for 5 months & it hasn't had any effect. In desperation I gave her a Capstar tab & the a day later Frontline & a week later combed with flea comb & picked up 10 fleas that were very much alive. Can you advise pls? Many many thanks
