    Hoping our housing situation settles down, and Lil gets her treatments soon. Stress isn't good for any of you. Take care.

    Hi There. My 5 year old lab (I know... Wrong forum, but its for dog lovers right?), tore his ACL and he is now being percribed a regiment of glucosamine and chrondroitin. I read your post, and was wondering if you would kindly share the recipe. I simply cannot affort $100 per month for these pills, but I will if I have to... Would like to try the soup for the future... or as an added supplement. Much thanks. :)

    I did find some calculations for the BARF diet on the RAW dog ranch page...
    And reading some of the other psts about the Diet. Thank you very much.

    I am finishing out the kibble and stocking up on meats presently. But I will post the first day we try it with pictures so we can all document his progress and be so impressed when he is all better.

    Thank you. I saw your post about MDR1 mutation. I had never heard of such a thing so I will definitely talk to my regular vet about it. :)

    Sure, why not...as long as getting at least a 1/2cup of the stock (so more if added ingr.), and that is just based on results in my dog. I freeze in storage containers about 2 cups per - so 4 days worth

    Hey there! I have 2 more quick questions about that stock, (lol sorry) would since I can add vegetable like carrots and apples, and such to the stock, would it be ok to leave some of the vegetables in the stock and blend it together to thicken the stock into a gravy of sorts?

    Also, if I make a large pot of stock, is it OK to freeze some of it in ice cube trays to save it and thaw as needed?

    Thanks!

    Goldenseal tea. there are others. search "Berberine" tea's...natural antibiotic properties. you can apply by making the tea, leave bags in (1 bag per cup of water) bring to room temp...how depends on what you are using for...localized hotspots? all over itchies? can make a rinse after shampoo leave on or sponge into the fur....for hot spots depending where you may be able to secure the tea bag to the spot with some kind of tie. the leg I used a childs sock (white cotton), cut the toe out, the heal part slips nicely over the elbow and the elastic part hold in place around the wrist (carpal). paws you can soak (if will let) in warm tea and epsom salts (tblsp)...you can add touch of ACV too...but if raw this may sting initially although will feel good after a minute, but may give neg. assoc. depends on your dog...wrapping the paw with strips of cotton cloth (t-shirt) and then slip a childs sock over - let soak in for 20mins or so, get back if this isn't helpful, try to find solution.

    Hi Gatorbytes, you had mentioned in a thread about a tea that could be used to provide relief from itching. I looked back, but could not find it. What was the type of tea? And how do you apply it?

    Thanks for the note. I have had the most success with joint issues with a product called Joint Strong and Arthrix. The fish oil is great and you can probably double the dose. If stools get soft, then cut back a bit. I've also seen improvement when people switch over to a raw diet.
    Regards

    Mike

    Hi. I hope you don't mind me sending you a request but several people have suggested contacting you. We have a now 11 month old GSD with diagnosed moderately severe HD. Do you have any thoughts on supplements that might help improve his joint health? Thank you in advance for your thoughts and hope you can give me some direction. (He currently takes Dasuquan w/ MSM 2 tabs per day, Fish oil 1200 mg 2 x a day, and adequan injections twice a week to change to monthly in September). Thank you. Alex
