Sometimes there are alternatives. I am more likely to agree to a drug short-term in an acute situation; much more likely to look into alternatives long-term for chronic or ongoing issues.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-69876589957843872542017-04-17T11:16:53.648-04:002017-04-17T11:16:53.648-04:00For most things, there is more than one answer.

It is important to weight out the side effects vs. the severity of the issue before dosing your pet up w/ meds. <br />Love & Biscuits,<br />Dogs Luv Us and We Luv ThemDogs Luv Us and We Luv Themhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638529120659322412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-75928267811815662422017-04-16T18:32:03.574-04:002017-04-16T18:32:03.574-04:00Our Sienna had something called 'Suppress'...Our Sienna had something called 'Suppress' once.

Sometimes vets are too quick just to write a script. There are lots of options and lots of ways we can help support our pets when they are on medications.

I elected to use minimal drugs and mainly holistic solutions. Although my pet died in the end, I know the holistic remedies given to her help her feel more normal and happy vs. vaccines/chemo from the vet.Impurrfectlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093615438471818830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-40649868474550118302017-04-15T10:56:21.564-04:002017-04-15T10:56:21.564-04:00Sometimes it's easy to keep adding drugs to a ...Sometimes it's easy to keep adding drugs to a treatment; granny once got really sick because her doctors kept adding and adding and adding, causing toxicity and severe interactions.

I started taking my dog to a holistic vet a few months ago, because I was fed up with the amount of drugs my vet was prescribing. Don't get me wrong, he's an amazing clinician and has helped Red tremendously, but every time there's a problem it's more chemicals her tiny little body has to process.
