Interview with Dr. Richard Pitcairn: Veterinary homeopathy and energy based medical approaches

Sunday, July 3, 2022 • Duration 57:09

Get to know a living legend! Dr. Richard Pitcairn was a pioneer, with his book, "Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats." Many of us used his book when their were no others. In this podcast, we get to know him: what motivated him to veer towards a more holistic path and we are introduced to specific helpful remedies as well as diving into what homeopathy is, how it originated and how it works. This naturally dovetails into a new way to see medicine, through the lens of energetic systems. I hope you find this podcast fascinating and can share it with your friends! #DrPitcairn #naturalhealth #holistic #holisticveterinary #veterinary #homeopathy #dogs #cats #energy #energeticmedicine #medicine

How to cure immune-mediated diseases holistically

Sunday, July 3, 2022 • Duration 25:37

In this episode, PetDoc Donna describes how to help and sometimes cure pets suffering from immune-mediated conditions. By identifying triggers, using acupuncture to shift the immune system's focus, correcting the biome, changing the diet, using herbs to tonify and balance, these cases can be cured within 6 months. We do not suppress symptoms or inflammation except in the case of thromocyctopenia and anemia when steroids may be critical to save the life of the cat or dog initially. Did you know immune-mediated problems are skyrocketing in humans and in pets? Inflammation is our greatest problem because it can literally destroy tissues within the body. By switching single protein diets once a month (treats to match), choosing and tweaking herbal approaches and acupuncture weekly, these cases can be some of the most gratifying because a cure is possible. When symptoms are just suppressed, the condition is not cured and often the immune system cleverly finds way around pharmaceutical suppression. #holistic #veterinary #immune-mediated #cats #dogs #PLE #PLN #DM #IBD

Natural flea prevention and why it's vital to your pet's health and longevity and should be an integral part of every veterinary preventative program,

Tuesday, June 7, 2022 • Duration 19:58

Fleas are always teaching us how to be better caretakers by showing us our pets' weaknesses. As they are attracted to the weakest pet with the lowest vital force. Fleas generally like the tail base of your pet because it has the lowest vital energy. As soon as the pet ingests our vitamin/mineral mix (listen to that podcast to find out how to make it) as well as a raw diet with fresh organic greens ground into their food, the vital force increases and the fleas are naturally repelled. There are various topical preventatives but they generally are less effective without addressing the overall diet. Topical treatments such as Wondercide and Dermascent essential oils treatments can be helpful in certain conditions. Drying agents such as Fleago, Fleabusters Diatomaceous earth or other environmental products can be helpful and unlike chemical flea "drugs, fleas cannot get resistant to these drying agents. Remember fleas are only on the pet 5% of the time. Most of the time, they are in the environment and difficult to detect. #fleas #fleaprevention #natural #naturalfleacontrol #holistic #veterinary

How to correct EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome) and veterinary endocrine dysfunction in dogs and cats too which are epidemic in all species using specific diet and lifestyle changes.

Thursday, May 19, 2022 • Duration 13:06

Pikante is a 24 year old horse who had been getting sick with insulin resistance for many months causing him to be more lethargic, deposit fat all over his body and seem to head towards Cushings disease, thyroid disease and down a difficult metabolic pathway full of endocrine problems. But Kate, Pikante's person, put her thinking and researching cap on and changed his carbohydrate fat and protein ratios. He is now eating rice bran, teff and alfalfa pellets, taking Platnum performance and Insulinwise (supplements) and getting over 200 minutes of exercise per week. Kate's concentration was on keeping his nonstructural carbohydrates between 10-12% of his diet. If possible he also gets his hay soaked for less than an hour to remove the sugars, but retain the calcium. Please comment and share if you have thoughts! Pikante's insulin went from 209 to less than 9, meaning the problem became under control, not with pharmaceutical medications, but with management of his diet.

PetDoc Donna interviews Dr. Jeff Judkins, a 30 year veteran of holistic veterinary medicine whose Ashland Oregon practice keeps on curing chronic disease even through the pandemic.

Thursday, May 12, 2022 • Duration 17:45

Join Dr. Donna's candid conversation about holistic veterinary medicine. How did Dr. Judkin's go from a conventional vet to a holistic one? What diseases has he helped? What is his medical philosophy and how did it evolve? These are some of the questions approached in this interview. Just like PetDoc Donna, Dr. Judkins utilizes acupuncture, homeopathy and herbs but his concentration is on diet. When the dogs come into his practice they get to eat treats made from crickets (which are non allergenic) so he really is not afraid to try new things. An accomplished mandolin player, Dr. Judkins reminds young veterinarians about the importance of work/life balance and he has no plans to retire. #vetlife #veterinarian #holistic #holisticvet #acupuncture #work/life balance.

How many times a day should you feed your dog or cat and why?

Sunday, May 8, 2022 • Duration 12:35

The University of Arizona's Canine Cognitive Center issued their observations that dogs are smarter and live longer being fed once a day instead of more often and it's sent the pet world into a panic! I reviewed the findings. It's important to note they are only observations not a double blind study and have not been published or peer reviewed. Also the oldest animals in my practice, dogs over 20 years old and cats over 23 years old are all fed twice a day. This is an in depth discussion about transit time, pre and probiotics, immune and gut health and a review of some of the probiotics on the market today (I have no affiliation with them). Enjoy! #gut health #dogs #cats #rawfed #holisticfood #GIhealth

Balancing hyperthyroidism and kidney "failure" in Cats

Sunday, April 17, 2022 • Duration 13:06

Greta is a nineteen year old kitty with quite a history. She and her person were homeless for 2.5 years, living in a tent in the cold one of Seattle's sketchy tent cities. She is one tough kitty! Now, at nineteen, her person does acupressure daily to help her appetite and help balance the thyroid and kidney diseases. This balance is not easy and has cost the lives of many cats. On one hand, when you treat the thyroid, the blood pressure can reduce so much that the kidney disease appears worse and on the other, if you help the kidneys, the thyroid disease can worsen as well. For the hyperthyroidism, Greta takes just 1/4 tab of methimazole (conventional medication with side-effects) because of acupuncture and herbs (Thyrocalm, a human product with rosmaranic and lithospermic acids and the acupressure discussed in this video, her conventional medication has been low. Since methimazole is potentially quite toxic to the body (it's a chemotherapeutic but often necessary when radioactive therapy is not a good idea) our goal is to keep her levels as low as possible. The kidney failure is being treated with fluids, herbs acupuncture and now acupressure and is relatively stable now for over two years. Learn what we can do with combining holistic and conventional medicine! And share! Please support this work. We have very few ways to get the message out to you. (It is not supported by mass media and the pharmaceutical industry would rather you not know.) #hyperthyroid #kidneydisease #feline #cats #homelessness #acupressure

What the Vital Force can do for your dog is what Liberty horse training does for a horse!

Wednesday, March 16, 2022 • Duration 14:46

In this podcast, I talk about the ways we use the vital force to help heal pets, not by forcing or suppressing inflammation, but rather by removing triggers of inflammation and using herbs and natural supplements to help tonify and vitalize the vital force. Pet Doc Donna draws the comparison between this holistic, non-forced way of treating pets with chronic disease to elements of liberty horse training which also does not force. With no halter, bridle or ropes, the horse makes his or her opinions known (this can be difficult to process) and by learning about moving energy and being a fair leader, the horse will bond with us. In this way, we are much safer to ride, much safer when he is frightened by something, he knows we will keep him safe. Vitality and moving energy, as practitioners in this great giant world, with every case, we fine tune our hands, we learn how to move with the animal, toe and hoof or paw together.
