Question
QUESTION: i have 3 dogs (2 male llahsa's and a female min. schnauzer)
our 3yo llahsa is perfectly healthy. but our 2yo llahsa has almost always had problems. he has a cataract in one eye and his weight is a rollercoaster although he eats alot. he vomits yellow bile at least a few times a month and has few solid bm's. yesterday he started having diarrhea with mucus and blood in the stool. i wonder if maybe he might have diabetes. they eat purina beneful but i would like to have them eat natural foods instead.
we also have a horrible problem with fleas. we have tried all kinds of sprays pills and even flea bombs and nothing will work. the schnauzer is allergic to fleas and has scratched her ears so bad that now they are swollen and scabbed and smell and she has also bitten her back so much that its all scabbed over and hair is missing. not sure wat to do? we have an appt with the vet for friday but i would like to have a permanent fix and not just some medicine to make it better for a bit and then get bad again.

ANSWER: Hi Autumn - Yes, glad you will see the vet this week!  Your kids may need a little vet help right now with antibiotics.
I can help with a food change for your little llahsa with the belly problems....and also we will add a supplement for his belly.

NOW the schnauzer needs some Healthy and Natural Flea sprays...I can help with that, too.
Are you willing to change the dog food?
Also, are you interested in some vitamins and supplements?

Are you in the USA or other?

GET back to me and I will help...

QUESTION: i am interested n anything that will help my babies. i want them to live long healthy lives. and yes i am in the usa in arkansas. thank you so much!

Answer
Sure -  I will be glad to help along with your vet....
Now, I don't see signs of diabetes....
Ok, for the 2 yr old kid, your vet may need to give you a antibiotic... Pancreatic problems are  a possibility.  
Good food and some antibiotics will clear this up.

Ok, please buy some Chicken Soup for the Dog lovers Soul food - it can be found at most pet stores....EXCELLENT food.

If you can't find it, let me know and I will suggest another one.

PLEASE mix this new food with some White rice ( 1/4 cup of rice and 1/4 cup of cooked chicken for 1 week)  
A small amount of the new food, mixed with chicken and rice....
AFTER a few weeks you can cut OUT the cooked chicken and rice if you want, or you can continue.... UP to you!

The other dogs may want this food too...IT ( the new dry dog food) will be good for all of them.  
Do a 50/50 mix of the OLD Beneful food and the NEW food for 2 weeks...
That is IF you want to change the other two dogs over to this new food, also.

Beneful is a very poor food with a bunch of JUNK fillers ....
Sorry, I know you think it looks good but they TRICK the public with the nice colors and photos on the bag...!!!


The 2 yr old can also have a anti-acid pill - ask your vet about giving some Tagament first thing in the morning - this can be purchased over the counter at any WALMART or food store...LOW cost and safe for pets : Bring this up at the next vet visit.
This will reduce any acids that the 2 yr old is making in his belly.

Last, for the 2 yr old kid:  Please start him on 1/2 a NuVET wafer per day - feed as a treat or hide in the food or pumpkin.
1/2 a wafer of NuVET will only cost you .30 cents per day-
It would be great for the other dogs, too.
NUVET is an immune system booster and Allergy Blaster.
NuVET is much better than any junk vitamins that most VETS or Pet stores will try to sell you.  NuVET is all human grade quality made in an FDA human grade facility.

*** here is how to get the NuVET Wafers:****************

Most doggies are on 1 wafer per day ( long term) and it costs about .60 cents per day.  ( SOME need only 1/2 per day)

Here is the ordering link for NuVET - I would like to see you get a 90 count and go on auto ship -  If you go onto autoship you will get 15% off each order.  

Make sure you use my Name and VET code to order
 - Not sold in stores so you need a referral:

*******************************************

The mini schnauzer may have an overgrowth of yeast besides the flea allergies-
The NuVET helps to get rid of the fleas - When they take a bite they run away... JUMP right off the pet.  
( The Fleas hate the TASTE of good healthy blood)
Did you know that???
Pets with great health and strong immune systems don't have too many problems with fleas...
It is a fact...

NuVET also helps with healing and allergies.
So, YES, NuVET (1 full wafer) per day for the Mini Schnauzer kid would be helpful.....

As for fleas :  Make this safe spray :  FLEA Buster:

here is a great recipe spray / very safe and easy to make.......

This Is LOW cost / smells great - But, keeps the fleas away....
Spray it on your pets and the pet beds, too.
Won't hurt your human kids!!!!  VERY SAFE

We can add a few more supplements to the Flea Allergy kid - But, I would like you to try the NuVET first!  It is the supplement we have had the most luck with ....OK
