Day 46
Happy Birthday to me! I wish I had happy news about Sasha. Our 8 hour drive that turned into a 10 hour drive (traffic!) yesterday was not good for Sasha. Also, we had forgotten how stressed and neurotic she gets in new places – she paces around trying to get behind furniture and in …
Day 43
For obvious reasons, I have been thinking a lot lately about vaccinations, pharmaceuticals and the impact they have on our dog’s bodies. When I looked back through her history, I was able to clearly see the connection in Sasha’s case. Today, I found the courage to pull out Zoe’s history. Zoe was my first dog. …
Day 42
Sasha’s belly has been pretty warm the past few days, and the area inside of her thigh where it meets her torso is not looking great. That area naturally holds a lot heat simply because there is lack of air circulation. We had been putting aloe on her to soothe the inflammation, but in this …
Day 41
Sasha’s transition back to her regular diet is going well. We’re now giving her two pints of milk in the morning (small amounts every hour until 1pm) and then solid food in the evening. We’ve started adding Answers detailed beef back in and by the end of the week, we’ll be fully transitioned. We will …
Day 39
Red, inflammation, heat…all gone again. It’s crazy. Still itchy though. If you look at the area in the center of her belly, over the course of the past week, the dark area has filled in. (Pay no attention to the various shades of pinkness in the overall shots – poor lighting in the house). I …
Day 38
This morning when I got up, I noticed Sasha’s belly was warmer than usual. I had planned to take her to work early so I could give her a soothing bath with some colloidal oatmeal. After feeling the warmth of her belly, I hoped even more the bath would help. When I got her up …
Day 37
With our upcoming trip, we’ve begun Sasha’s transition back to her regular raw diet. To say this “adventure” was a failure couldn’t be further from the truth. While we did not accomplish what we’d hoped to in the amount of time we had, we did see some pretty amazing things happen. And we are extremely …
Day 36
I mentioned at the start of this that we are certain Sasha’s problems are related to the “safe” pharmaceuticals given to her and people have asked me why I think that. Starting with vaccines, there’s a ton of research out there that documents adverse reactions (including cancer) to vaccines. But I also wanted to point …
Day 35
Happy Valentine’s Day! We hope that you have been able to share some love time with your furry four-legged friends.
Day 34
The weekend was a bit of a bummer for us. As I mentioned on Saturday, Sasha’s ears became inflamed again. That continues even today. And Sunday, her belly had a small eruption with new pustules and has gotten a bit pink again. We gave her a bath yesterday afternoon in a nice herbal shampoo. Our …
