Took Liberty (mix Lab Rott) to the vet last Thursday. Swollen lymph nodes. Got her on antibiotics for a week, then recheck when she's in a better mood to let the vet touch her. Didn't even ask him about the MSM. Fingers crossed ............. Steve

Buddy went to the vets yesterday to have his knee fixed. It turned out he tore the cartlidge and it was causing him a lot of pain and he also had an acl tear. All his blood work is fine so other than the knee problems and some arthritis he's in pretty good shape for a 10 year old. When we got...

Anyone that would think that a homeopath considers vaccines a good thing doesn't know much about homeopathy at all. It would go against the very nature of what homeopathy is about. Dr Carley was, among other things, a surgeon and a very good one till she studied holistic medicine and chose to...

Maybe's spay went well yesterday - she's acting kind of tentative, which is good thing to do when healing, I think. Not her regular "balls to the walls" attitude. She gets chicken for dinner. I also had her hips checked for OFA submission, checking the box that said the result would be...

No Tattoo. These are SPECIAL guests, they're HOWER RESCUE and SHELTER SAVIOURS. They have SPECIAL needs requiring individual condiditions, shall we say, SACRIFICES, to make. This is going to be a VERY SPECIAL weekend, Tatoo.
