Although natural care products / removed URL / for dogs are generally safe, there are still potential risks and side effects to consider. Some dogs may be allergic or sensitive to certain natural ingredients, causing skin irritation or other adverse reactions. Additionally, natural products are not regulated the same way as prescription drugs, so it's important to research the product and manufacturer carefully to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Always follow the product instructions carefully, and start with a small amount to monitor potential reactions. Finally, consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new products, especially if your dog has a preexisting health condition or is taking other medications. Taking these precautions can help ensure the safety and effectiveness of natural care products for your furry friend.

Further to the mention of yearly vacs, a vet that i used to use in the next town wont see dogs unless they are up to date with their boosters
-
I think that's called blackmail!
-
Yes i think its taking away peoples choice
-
No, it's me taking away my business!!!
-
I totally agree. Vaccination boosters are just a way of making more money in my opinion. Even the drug companies acknowledge that yearly boosters are not always necessary.
I wonder if this vet checks on the dog's health and immunity levels bfore vaccination ?
From experience I know that vaccinating a dog that is not perfectly A1 healthy can be dangerous (or even fatal)!

Some good news for us this morning. Bing had a two-week check up and his calcium levels are halfway back to normal + he's gained over 1kg, so he's on his way back!
-
Wonderful news. Well done you and Bing.
-
Brilliant news for Bing
-
Yes, we're quietly pleased. Even the vet noticed he was behaving more normally - for a Basenji, that is!
A real milestone will be passed when he starts, um, lifting his leg again!!!
-
Well, our little Bing did lift his leg again, just once!
Then, sadly, he went into a decline which the vet thought was not recoverable from so we sent him on his way two weeks ago. We are both more sad than we ever thought was possible which is why it is only now I am able to post this.

Mike and Jenny..I am so sorry to hear about Bing..I can feel you pain..know that he is running again happy, go lucky on the other side of the bridge..
-
Mike and Jenny i am so sorry for your loss of Bing
-
I am very sorry to hear about Bing.
-
Thank you all for your kind thoughts. If only we had a way of explaining to a rather lost little Basenji bitch (Rosie) what has happened to her lifelong friend…
-
So sorry for your loss.
-
Really sorry and sad to hear Bing when away!
-
I know it is so hard to help the ones left behind what happened..We had two of our most beloved dogs pass in march and april, and Lou, the one that made it through april was devastated when Bogus past..we let him sniff the blanket Bogus was wrapped in when we came home from the vet, but I don't know if that helped or made things worse..
They are both resting together in our back yard now..so they are together again..like the best friends they were for 12+ years.. -
So very sorry about your loss. As I say to everyone as long as Bing is in your heart he will forever be with you. Your poor girl I know she must be so sad however with all love and time she is getting from you in time all will be better. Take care.

Try homeopathic Ignatia for Rosy. 30c potency 3 X a day. I've found this very successful for grieving departures.

Interestingly, Jenny, inspired by the messages here, suddenly realised the problem with Rosie. She was angry, yes angry, with Jenny about the fact that Bing wasn't here because she had seen her take him away.
It might seem a little far-fetched but Jenny recalled that some years ago when our young Morgan mare was sent away for training for a few weeks, my Westfalian gelding, some years older than her and who had 'raised' her from a foal was behaving very oddly towards me. He would uncharacteristically glare at me with bloodshot eyes when I went up to him in the field and would then paw the ground (or should that be hoof the ground?). Suddenly I recognised that he was angry with me as he had watched me lead her to the horse box.
Then, as with Rosie now, the answer was to show a little understanding and compensate with extra attention and love. It worked brilliantly tonight and Jenny is delighted to have her little girl back again…
