My senior T Bone has Crossed the Rainbow Bridge at age 16. My senior Gucci followed him to the rainbow Bridge the same year. She was almost 14 years. My senior Oggie died at age 10.
Fendi who is now 10 remains, with a newcomer Tobe who is now almost 3.
Tobe is healthy with no issues. Not vaccinated, not altered and not on flea meds or heart worm prevention. Dewormed as needed with holistic remedies.
Fendi has never been sick, never been on any flea or tick prevention ever, and never had a single flea or tick! She only had natural deworming with either pumpkin seeds and parsley water or PARAGONE from www.OnlyNaturalPet.com. When she was a year old, she also was exposed to parvo “nose to nose” with Ally (parvo puppy who I rehabed) and she never got parvo from Ally because of her strong immune system.
Oggie was healthy until he was 10 when he was diagnosed with Kidney failure. While he was alive, he never had worms, never single flea, never single tick. I only used natural stuff to deworm as my other dog.
T-Bone first vet visit was at age 9 and that was due to pneumonia! Before that, he never had any health issues and no health issues after that until he left us. He was never vaccinated! He was only dewormed with natural or herbal remedies. He never had any flea tick prevention and never a single flea or tick! He was also exposed to the same parvo puppy as my youngest dog and at age 6 his immune system was very strong and he did not get parvo from Ally who was around them for 6 days.
Gucci is the only one that had one rabies vaccine. The biggest mistake I ever made, but I needed to fly with her and airlines required it. Over the years she has been to a vet for several minor issues and in December 2018 I found two small & different types of lumps in her lower mammary area. One on the left side is very hard and one on the right side is soft. Vet diagnosed is as MAMMARY ADENOCARCINOMA which is a very aggressive tumor. Of course, vet mis-diagnosed it and for sure even if this is a tumor, it is not aggressive, as my dog is still alive and well, 8 months later, with no changes to neither lump.
That same vet FIRED ME for being compassionate towards one of her patient’s parents who was crying her eyes out like a little child. Of course, compassionate me, I intervened and was told that she has to put her dog down for aggression. I told her she could retrain the dog and gave her information to contact a dear friend, who is one of the best Holistic Dog trainers… Roman Gottfried @ Roman’s Holistic Dog Training. I told her that if anyone could help her retrain and save her dog, it was Roman! Well, my vet did not like my intervention and after this patient’s parent complained to my vet, I was fired! Not only did she fire me, but she then changed diagnosis of previously diagnosed aggressive mammary adenocarcinoma to: “I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS FAT, CYST OR TUMOR”! It is MALPRACTICE to discharge patient with potentially deadly disease!
It took me a few months to go to another vet to reassess the health of my dog. That vet just by “touching” the two different lumps said: “This is cancer for sure!” Her plan was to remove every mammary gland on one side then close up my dog and then do another surgery a week later to remove all mammary glands on the other side and remove her uterus as well! I observed my dog for the time that we were in that vet office! She was either hiding under the exam table or sitting right next to the door looking towards the exit. As I am very spiritually connected to all my animals, I knew this was not a place for my dog to be, nor the future she was facing! At that time, Gucci was 9 years old and would not have lived through such invasive surgery! This type of procedure is risky for even younger dogs!
Oh how I hate vets. They are all about MONEY MONEY MONEY !!! Vets push vaccines, pesticides as dewormers, flea & tick products, heartworm prevention, microchip and “yank” their hormone producing organs at 8 weeks of age and halt their normal development, which later in life can lead to cancer among many other healthy issues. Vets sure know how to turn your healthy pet in a ticking time bomb…
That is why I do what I do, and why I embarked on this journey after 30 years of successful career as a Private Investigator, to seek Doctor of Animal Naturopathy degree, so I can learn more than I already know and educate all those who want to learn how to keep their pets HAPPY, HEALTHY & THRIVING!
