1. How can you help in easing your pet’s discomfort?
If you want to just kind of help your pet ease through, I would use CBD Heal because it’s
unflavored. Kind of put a little on the inside of the ear. Again, you can add it right into the ear so
I think that will help quite a bit and we’ll go from there. Hopefully, that will kind of ease what
your pup’s got going on.
2. How to introduce your new pup to a new diet:
I would just go about 3 pounds to make a batch for the new baby so you can gradually get
your pup on board. He’ll get it tonight, two time tomorrow and then off on Sunday, Monday, or
Tuesday. So, what do you do next? You would start on to new veggies. If it works, you could
consider making a batch with pork and some of the veggies you have been using and kind of
taking it from there. But it’s still best to test everything against what you’ve been feeding.
3. Is it okay to give heartworm meds when your pup is taking milk thistle and liposomal
glutathione?
If you need to give a dose of heartworm meds, I would stop the milk thistle and liposomal
glutathione for 24 hours just because they are going to speed up the processing of heartworm
medicine and you want it to be in his system for that full 24 hours.
4. Abner losing voice:
If Abner has lost his voice, often that can be related to really profound hyperthyroidism
or some sort of neurologic issue sort or dysphonia where the laryngeal cords are attacked so
that’s really strange. If he’s completely unable to bark, then that’s odd. Can he make any noise
when he breathes in? Because sometimes that will create some problems in terms of laryngeal
paralysis, which is one of the more common issues that can cause loss of voice so see if that
makes any sense. Definitely get his thyroid function checked out. It sounds like his larynx isn’t
working properly.
If thyroid function is normal, they can use propofol to very lightly sedate him and then
visualize whether the larynx is moving properly or not so that may be part of what’s going on. If
that’s what ends up being the deal, as long as he is not having issue with breathing in the house,
it’s one of the issues we kind of just leave along and then work in the immune system to see if
we can kind of calm it down a bit.
5. Mr. Willie update:
It’s interesting that he did not get positive for gluten but he did test positive for wheat
although gluten is a component of wheat. Also, I’m not sure what tissue block, detox block, and
DNA block means but my guess is that there is some impingement in the healing in each of these
areas. And with CBD and THC, I would suggest using both at the same time. It does make sense
that this is more of an autoimmune skin disease instead of cancer because he’s off all of the
medications and while he looks pretty rough, he’ still hanging in there and still eating. It just
makes a little more sense then.
I think that’s what I’ve got for you this week. Give everybody a big hug for me and we’ll
see you next week. Take good care! I’m Dr. Ruth Roberts, your pet’s ally.
