Aaand there it is!

It's the same for humans as,well !

Just like for humans. We are all lab rats.

@@simbapompom6765 - true. Human doctors are also in the pockets of big Pharma.

I took my German Shorthair in for reverse sneezing just to be sure he didn't have a polyp or some obstruction. I walked out with Apoquel (!). I gave him two doses before I read up on the side effects. I changed vets shortly after that.

How do you know that is what caused the cancer?

Sorry to hear this ,iv recently stopped giving this to my pom for her skin

Our 1:36 dog died on this drug last year

My sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved dog 😢. It is so heartbreaking, I feel for you.

Bravecto made by Merck , killed our girl, chocolate lab. We gave it to her after it came out because we have deer ticks so bad. She immediately developed chronic skin conditions and itched constantly, it dryed her skin out . After about 5 years to stop the itching, I gave her Cydopoint, then not long after she started having seizures which eventually ended her life this last Christmas. She was the sweetest girl almost made ten. Fortunately Apoquil gave her the runs, so I did not use it. I guess they do the trial testing on our pets , idk, but it sure seems so. My deepest sympathies to all pet owners who lost their beloved pets.

Bravo...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 HOMEOPATHIC VET IS OK , they use remedies. Home cook Organic, RAW, Freeze Dried... ⭐️🌬🤍🕊

So what happens if they have an emergency, do u treat them at home

@@panda17284 obviously an emergency is different; this is about natural remedies used in PREVENTATIVE healthcare, not sudden emergencies

'Open Farm' pet food is good.

Natural heath builds living things back up. Canine, Feline or Human Big Pharma only diseases us into CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY & slavery. ETERNAL PHARMA SLAVES FOR THE REST OF ONE'S SHORT BUT MISERABLE LIVES.

Or a careless vet not reading the warnings about pre-existing conditions that earn you not to take a drug. I've seen vet do this too because they never research anything before prescribing.

Thank you I lost my little Boomer to these drugs my heart is broken 💔

I lost my darling little Shih to Nexguard and it broke me! 🇨🇦👋

God gave this man a huge talent to serve His animal Kingdom! To all animal lovers who also love these beautiful creations of God Almighty. Evil is ramping up at breakneck speed in this wicked world. We truly need GOD ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST! Man cannot save mankind, period. We’re all sinners in need of our savior THE Lord Jesus Christ. Believe the Gospel found in KJV 1.Corinthians 15:1-4 and you will be saved and have ETERNAL life in the Kingdom of God. We’re saved by His precious sinless Blood, His finished work at the cross for the remission of our past, present and future sins. Jesus is coming any moment now to meet the Body of Christ (all true believers in Christ) in the air, millions of people will be missing in the twinkling of an eye, as prophecied! All the signs of His coming are here. Please accept the most precious gift you can ever get, choose wisely! The rapture is the Apostle Paul's revelation of the sudden removal to Heaven of the members of the 'Body of Christ', which are all people worldwide who believe in the right gospel, KJV (King James Version) 1. Corinthians 15:1-4. Bible texts related to the rapture are: 1 Thessalonians 2:19, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, 1 Corinthians 15:50-52, Philippians 3:20-21, Titus 2:13. Jesus Christ IS God Almighty who came in the flesh. He is the ONLY way to salvation. Believe the Gospel and you will be rapture ready and have eternal life in Gods Kingdom! These are the last days, before the start of the Great and terrible Tribulation. It will be 3 1/2 years of hell on earth, all is prophecied. Choose wisely! Satan came to lie, to steal, to kill and to destroy. Unfortunately many do not point to the one true way how to undoubtedly get saved. Jesus Christ is about to pour out his wrath over this wicked satanic world. So get saved today! This is how, just believe! 1 Corinthians 15 King James Version 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 5:9 King James Version 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Ephesians 1:7 King James Version 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:13 King James Version 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise 2 Corinthians 1:22 King James Version 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 King James Version 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Uh, that's pretty much the case with all the vets in my city! But then when cats are sick you don't know what else to do except for going to a vet but it almost always aggravates their condition :(@@Andromeda_M31

Lol. Usually his subtitles are pretty good as I'm always impressed when the correct spelling of a drug comes up. But today's subtitles were way off. At one point, they were in a different language 🤣.

I really hope he sees this!!

He's a busy man.....God love him...An Animal Superhero....

I was thinking the same thing! I am also a retired medical transcriptionist, and the transcripts of any video are always the first thing I notice, or I should say the mistakes. I think this is something now ingrained in transcriptionists. :) I do agree and hope that Dr. Jones reads your comment. His information is vital.

I whole heartily agree, when got to 4:45 I fell off my chair laughing.

Not really.

@@woolymittensare you here for a reason ?

@@woolymittens Don’t know what your agenda is, but it’s clearly not the interests of our pets. If you don’t like Dr. Jones, then why are you even here? So odd. Dr. Jones has taken a lot of criticism for speaking out on the truths of kibble foods and medications, etc. It’s not easy being a sort of whistleblower. He stuck his neck out and most of us here understand and appreciate all he’s done. For my dog, he most likely saved him or has at the very least given him many, many more years of healthy living. Like I said, if you don’t like him or have some other agenda, then you really need to leave. Why waste your time here unless your agenda isn’t learning more ways to keep your pet healthy and happy?

I second that!!

Very well said......@@LearningGrace 🐶

WHY did you give the dog apoquel? Mine will scratch his face until he bleeds without it. His eyes will swell up, too. This a-hole is totally discounting the relief that those drugs provide. Do you ever take ibuprofen? Same kind of thing. Now, if you were just giving it to the dog because it occasionally sneezed, sure. Having my dog live more years in MISERY isn't an option!!

​@@MarshallgillMy late dog had various food allergies according to a test we did. The vet said those tests were very unreliable, so we had it done by a different vet. There were very few meats and only 1 carbohydrate source he could tolerate. We only bought food with these few combinations, which was really difficult. Additionally we gave him the Apoquel the vet prescribed. Over years. It helped (before he had otitis and itching paws all the time!) Nobody warned me of the side effects. Only after he died from multiple cystosis in 5 intestinal organs did the vet concede that Apoquel was still very new at the time we started Enzo on it and they didn't know much about adverse reactions then. Dang I thought - how could you prescribe it then????

Same here..my beautiful boy passed in Jan 21 after years of Apoquel. Nobody had warned us beforehand. Nobody had told us it had been discarded as a med for humans bc of its side effects. Sorry Enzo for being too naive! R.I.P. my dear boy!

@@annetteenzoulis4870 I certainly agree that it is wrong to not inform people of potential side effects. Am I missing some alternative though? I was considering putting my dog down because I questioned his quality of life. I have tried everything but the expensive allergy tests. After the apoquel he actually likes being walked again and dances to be fed! I would trade a month of him being happy like this for a year of him being miserable.

If you have to give your pet meds that affect their liver, you’d be wise to give them a dose of Milk Thistle and NAC for a day or 2 after to help clear it out of their liver.

I have a vet now who does both conventional and holistic and she said colloidal silver has been tested and found no known benefits as I was giving it to my cats.Said to give them chaga.ACV does have numerous good uses.

Ty for being an honorable guardian. 🤗🐕

Are you an MD. or a quackpractor? I don't blindly trust MDs, but I trust the others even less.

​@@lovemypups341some animals, particularly male cats are prone to "blocking" Crystals build up in the bladder and are excreted with the urine. Sometimes those Crystals clump together causing a blockage in the urethra. It is an immediate, life threatening emergency. It is more common in males due to their physiology, their urethra is longer than a female's. When the veterinarian preforms the surgery mentioned "to alter the genitals" they are shortening the urethra, making it much less likely the cat will block again. It is not a surgery the vets take lightly. This is a pretty basic explanation of a complex situation. A living being that is supposed to urinate but can't is in trouble, regardless of the species

@@brendapatterson7123my friend did a similar surgery on her golden retriever because it kept getting bladder infections.

Agree, so many pet owners dont know or discount this fact. If it really shows, its time. To force them to continue to live like that drugs or no drugs is torture. Theres a time to say goodbye dont be selfish

Because my dog was suffering greatly without cytopoint and now apoquel!! My dog will live longer but suffer the whole time?!! Scum bag has NO alternatives that work!

​@Marshallgill and thats his fault youre too lazy to look up alternatives or ask?

@@shellbells339 Oh, right, I never looked for an alternative! What a great idea!! DDDEEERRRPPP

@@MarshallgillStart being a detective in & around your own home. Lots of things such as dust mites in carpets, scented laundry detergent, toxic air fresheners/candles, fire retardants used on your area rugs and furniture, you or your neighbors lawn treatments where your dog walks, then licks his paws, chemicals you clean your floors with, the food you feed him, etc are often the culprits. You are your pet’s best advocate. Pharmaceuticals only mask the problem. They don’t correct the issue that is the cause & most are devastating to most of the organs that they require to live a long life.

@@Marshallgill Whats he supposed to do if there are no alternatives? If its going to just suffer its time to take the pet in .

My Rottie/Shepherd mix has just recently been having issues. Needs to urinate quite frequently. Drinking a lot and not eating much. Don't want to take him to the vet and don't know what to do. He's 10.

​@@casual454t1Take him to the vet!

It could be as simple as a urinary tract infection, please take him to a vet as waiting longer nake things worse! And no cranberry juice alone will not help a bad UTI😡

Or maybe he wasnt neutered young enough or neutered period as that a cause of prostate cancer.

@@casual454t1 Could be diabetes. You may be able to reverse it with diet if you catch it early.

So sorry for your loss 🐾❤

A lot of vets don’t care about the animals, just money. We all just assume they’re doing everything we think they should be doing and giving top care but they don’t. A lot of them fail us.

sorry for your loss,

@@skulltaylor1616A lot of them are careless and incompetent. And at least 50 percent graduated in he bottom half of their class!

That’s horrible, these generalized vets ugh holistic minded vets are the best

Yes, very dangerous med but it has its place. A few years back my Shepherd bitch got tonsillar cancer and was put on Rimydl . It was the only thing that helped her and extended her life by a couple of months .😢 . Every drug is bad but their use can be life saving too, even if for just a short while.

True, the meds are there to help ease pain, clear up infection, etc, but not to be used as daily maintenance . No med should be given anymore than 7-10 days. Unless of course, your animal(s) are diabetic/epileptic.

My dog (senior, large breed) went on a test run with Rimadyl for his severe arthritis and it didn't help his pain and just gave him a lot of tummy issues while he took it. The medication not working was hard to watch, but now he is on a medication prescribed by a specialist that actually helps and won't make him suffer like Rimadyl would have. Everyone kept telling me that Rimadyl would take years before the organ damage would happen, but I was horrified after reading some stories and am so thankful he didn't stay on it.

Last month my dog did something to his leg or shoulder he wouldn’t put any weight on it. The vet gave me 10 days worth of Rimadyl but I only gave seven days because he was fine. He doesn’t have any problems. That I know of. He acts, eats, pees and poops like normal.

@@veel.4246 I was told to make sure the drug was given with the dogs meal so less chance it would upset their stomach.

I'm sorry this happened. It wasn't your fault though. When we know better, we do better. Forgive yourself. ❤

@@careip Thank you. Those are very kind words, and I do appreciate them!

I'm so sorry for your loss! We should never be mislead about product safety by our vets. My Maine Coon cat Thorin Thunderpaws was on Bravecto and nearly died from a stroke. The vets took months to diagnose him (kept trying to convince me it was caused by dental disease, and tried to talk me into removing ALL his teeth)! Needless to say, they didn't treat him for a stroke, so now he had permanent damage from it. He must be watered with a syringe and struggles to eat on his own.

@@GingerPeacenik I'm sorry to hear what you've been through, as well. As hard as that loss still is, it made me realize that I am responsible for my pets' health (and my own), and I research EVERYTHING! Vets, like medical doctors, are not educated on drug interactions and side effects, etc. They are trained to reach for a prescription pad. I prefer natural alternatives. I LOVE the name of your cat- very appropriate for a Maine Coon. Kudos to you for caring so deeply for him.

Oh so you would rather have had her suffer or been euthanized at 15 then?

Sincerely condolences. I feel your pain

I have a question...you said her allergies were so bad that only apoquel could treat her...and now you want to sue them...I am so confused!

Sending you a hug.

Could you share what natural methods you use?

Deeply sorry for your loss of your Darling fox hound ,she's in heaven now playing with my Cavalier .... waiting for us....There is no time in Heaven { I believe}..So whenever we get there, they will be running to us with big licks and waggy tails. .I have a Border Collie I adore but not one day goes by without me missing my Cavalier Jewels...Your fox hound was in your arms when she passed, she was with her beloved human mum, as hard as it is {my jewels died in my arms to} they were with us to the very end and we will be with them again at the very end...xxxxx

I’m so sorry. How long was your dog on Apoquel before this happened?

Why on earth would you put your dog through having half her liver removed? 🤦‍♀️ There comes a time when you have to put the animals well-being above your own.

If she was healthy why start the medication? Loss of a pet is devastating, put mine down from breast cancer recently

@@Starfish2145 Agree...dont put a pet through anything you wouldnt want to deal with. See so many pet owners with dying pets in pain and refuse to take them in. Selfish!!

Stop going to vets that over prescribe! Maybe they'll get the message?

Yes! When I mentioned to the vet I didn’t like it because of the side effects, she was like “oh what is it, vomiting or diarrhea?” I said no, she hasn’t experienced any I can see but the stuff is harmful. You have to be so careful these days how you talk to a vet (or a doctor) unless you go to a Holistic one. Ugh. Then she put my dog and my cats on “special prescription diets” to help with bladder stones! Why are all of my pets sick with that now and I know so many other people whose pets have this too?! The expensive food is complete 💩!! My dog was throwing up violently from it as time went on. They’re not supposed to be on it for life although the vet tells you they have to be. BS!

Get your pets off that kibble ,change your vet ,go Holistic if possible..@@downtownchewinggumbums3927

​@@downtownchewinggumbums3927that prescription food will make them worse. Look for canned food with few ingredients. Or make homemade food for your dog. It's economical and dogs love it.

Such good information! I also protest the mandatory "rabies jab". We haven't had a case in my area since 1950. It's just money....sad

Thanks for subbing!

hi Doc! what do you think about gabapentin? My chihuahua has to take it for Arnold Chiari syndrome​@@VeterinarySecrets

Shes 11 with diabetes and perhaps blind? Sounds like a miserable existence for the pet.

Can I ask what is Sam e ? Do you just mix the flax seed oil ? Or just seeds into her food ?

@wendylaxton3777 here's what the mayo clinic says SamE is S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) is a compound found naturally in the body. SAMe helps produce and regulate hormones and maintain cell membranes. A synthetic version of SAMe is available as a dietary supplement in the U.S. In some countries in Europe, SAMe is a prescription drug Denamarin (a lot of vets I've spoken to said don't even bother with this. It doesn't do anything. Pet parents I've spoken to said it is a miracle and saved their animals life) has milk thistle compounds and SamE. You can get it online without a prescription or buy the supplements separately. I didn't have great luck trying to just use milk thistle and SamE supplements. I think if you have a large dog Denamarin can be a little spendy. My dog is 18 lbs so it's been not so bad. It changed everything so it's been worth it. I bought Organic Flax seed concentrated lignans at a whole food store. For my 18 lb dog it's about 1/2 a teaspoon a day poured onto her food. I started making her food at home and that made an insane difference. I hope this helps! Sorry it's so long. I tried the stuff the vet said for so long and finally decided I needed to figure this out. Because, even though I love her new vet, some of them are just too overworked to care anymore (or they have been sold the narrative that Purina is great and homemade food or supplements are harmful).

Tangentially, I was given Gabopentin and suffered permanent kidney damage in a couple weeks on the drug. Now have Stage 3 kidney disease..

I was put on that for nerve pain, but had to come off it as it caused me problems.

It’s toxic, like most pharmaceuticals.

Gabapentin is a seizure drug. Most Doctors and some vets prescribe it " off label" ( to make more $$) I was prescribed it for nerve pain in 2016. The drug gave me seizures and suicide thoughts. I tapered of it because my doctor doctor wouldn't help me. Anyway, if you got pain for you or your pet ; Equi- tite, or Equi- block is a rub on horse liniment, good for reducing inflammation & pain. * Similar to the human drug Icy Hot, only the horse drug does NOT contain lanocaine.,( which I am allergic to) I might have misspelled words. Most old school vet meds were once human drugs, 200 years ago. :)

Could you please tell me where you found this supplement? I desperately need it for my German Shepherd- I just took him off of Apoquel and I am looking for a supplement to help him!

@@judithbeckham4165 are you in the us? They sell it on chewy but i believe you can get it off the company’s website too

​@@judithbeckham4165Finn allergy supplement: do you see the name? are you able to search things online?

@@judithbeckham4165I got Finn in Amazon. It really helped us avoid apoquel as an “allergy skin issue”. Thank God. It has the main ingredients needed:quercitin, Alaska salmon oil, and colostrum. And you save more money because there’s 90 chews in a can for $28. It saved him.

Bathing more often can help a lot too.

Sea water is great for their skin...

Have you tested your dog for what they are allergic to? Idid for mine. I found every over the counter food has stuff he was allergic to. Once I had the report, I home made food and use Balance It, which is a vitamin additive. No allergies anymore. Try it

Yes, I have, we have never found anything conclusive. She is a rescue pug and a dog market puppy - which in Thailand means she was sold at 4 weeks of age. I acquired her when she was 3 mos old because her owner didn't want to deal her skin conditions. Which meant she had a poorly developed immune system. She had mange 3 x, intractable allergies, dry eyes, and constant ear infections. We have tried as mentioned elimination diets for over 3 months, then all natural foods, then special allergy food - we do know she is allergic to chicken - but she has been red and itchy all her life. We have special shampoos, we smother her in aloe vera gel daily, nothing has helped. She took Apoquel and her life changed. I think at her age - she will be 14 at the end of this year, I will do anything to ease the itching. This is the first product which has worked and believe me, we have tried everything!

My English bulldog was on apoquel but we started getting him a Cytopoint injection once every two months and it seems to work much better.

@@donnayim6369 Not​ sure​ if​ that's​ available​ in​ Thailand.​ Will​ check.​ Tks

If you can get cytopoint I agree that it works very well. It would instantly cure my dog of the torturous allergies for months with one shot. Thankfully now her immune system has improved and her allergies are no where near as bad as they once were.

What homeopathic is it? 🫶

Hi I’d love to have her details. Is she based in Sydney by any chance?

Thank you so much for your good information about the care and feeding of dogs and cats and the problems. These medication can cause I have been dealing with mini allergies myself and first one gluten free then keto, then carnivore which took care of it. I have been feeding my dogs carnivore as well chicken liver beef liver with a little bit of instincts, food along side to keep their stools intact, my dogs also had a reaction to the flea medication. The groomer couldn’t groom him. He was nasty took him off the flea medication gets groomed regularly now does good job really made a mess of his personality when he was on it.

I also used a homeopathic vet in Australia. Look it up on google you’ll find her!

You do realize that homeopathy is pure 100% bullshit right?

Colloidal silver is very good ,i use it in my dogs water bowl (not a metal bowl )i also make up my own dog food etc chicken rice etc .my dog is 15 yrs going on 16 yrs old .Vet says very healthy ,no arthritis, no fleas ,very rarely wormed .

Can colloidal silver be used topically all over the body for itching as well?

@@MycaCharters yes, I have used it on sores/ wounds that she licked raw and it cleared them up.

​@joycewatson7435 thanks!

We need to just disregard anything a vet says about prescriptions. If they suggest it, look it up and decide for yourself. They make a lot of money on prescriptions.

Right...that is why you use it as a last choice and not a first choice. Glad your pup is feeling g better.

Same difficult decision we made for our lab. Miserable for months while I tried food trials, multiple herbal supplements including quercetin, less risky Benadryl. Nothing touched it - he was full of oozing hot spots and swollen and draining eyes and ears. We know the risks, and I was terrified of Apoquel but it was our last resort. He gets a raw diet and supplements still and I just hope this supports his immune system enough.

I have come to the same conclusion with Daisy the pug. She will be 14 soon. But I will be switching to Cytopoint, I think that's the name, apparently much safer and an injection this month. I hope it works! Like your terrier, Daisy ate her feet raw, scratched her ears until they bled and cried whilst eating her feet, it was truly awful. We have tried everything over the years and nothing has worked. She can sleep at night now and has stopped eating her feet. Since she's already this age I feel it's better for her to enjoy some quality of life, she was utterly miserable for so long and that has finally stopped. I know the risks of Apoquel, but I also know Daisy's life is misery when she is constantly itchy. Hobson's choice really

Apoquel is the only thing that works for my dog. If he misses a dose, he will chew his paws raw. Do I have a happy dog for less time or a miserable dog for longer? He is generally miserable without it 😢

Totally agree., 💯 Us and our pets. Options if we look...❤️‍🩹🐾

I wish that I'd researched it further. My vet assured me that it had no known side effects. My sweet 27 pound (not fat) Maine Coon Cat Thorin had a massive stroke on it. He survived, but is permanently disabled from it. I'll never forgive them for misleading me (they still won't admit that it was the Bravecto that caused it).

I accidentally found the "Did Bravecto kill my dog" FB group years ago. My vet insisted it was safe. I stopped using it anyway. It says right on the insert that it can cause adverse neurological reactions. There are now FDA warnings about it. Always trust your gut.

I've noted all these good info you offered for future reference. Thank you.

Thank you. Your comment validated my intuition. I refuse to get rabies vaccines for my indoor only cats. Bcuz intuitively i believed they can cause cancer.

Omg I've used ANIMAX on my Shih Tzu. I had no idea that it caused deafness.

​@@LyranSoul What about for dogs? So many vets, and even groomers, won't treat your pet unless it's vaccinated.

@@Hatbox948 Yes, idk about dogs. That is prob true. I was simply discussing what i do bcuz i have cats. Dogs are different bcuz they go outside and interact with people etc. I can keep my cats inside.

😢

It killed my dog 2 months ago. Supposed to treat arthritis but she got severe ulcer and vomited blood.

Thank you ❤!😻😽

Oh so medications that actually save much much much more lives then it ever harms, got it

Yes they get very annoyed, it also money off the the table for the vet office. Try finding a holistic veterinarian in ur area

My Vet denied my dog got a very rare skin cancer - mixosarcoma - from Apoquel which he was on for a few weeks. The tumor grew to the size of a grapefruit on his hip by the time I was able to locate a Board Certified Veterinary Surgeon able to remove it. My dog only weighs 20 lbs. When questioned, his regular Vet said I shouldn’t believe what I hear and read on the Internet! Hahaha! The vets do not like the fact that information on anything including medical issues is at everyone who owns a phones fingertips. Of course you need to read critically and old, outdated info is out there - but folks can usually find the information they need now due to the Internet. Takes power away from the vets, doctors and dentists when they have resourceful, knowledgable patients!

Very little regulations for vets! Many are arrogant. I learned to not care about their opinions. The scummy ones will make degrading comments just before trying to sell you something.

I hope your dog is doing well and I am so sorry that happened to him. You are so right-do all the research you can to make an informed decision.@@christinakuczora4862

I used it on my kitties once after my vet changed over from Revolution. It was so nasty and really gummed their fur up. I finally had to give them baths a couple days later. My older boy died not too long after that experience...a couple weeks maybe? Anyway, my first thought went to that. I can't be certain, though, because he did have a fairly serious known heart murmur (known for years before his death), pancreatitis (also known for years before his death), and was put on a kidney food (this one was shortly before he died). It could've been any of those things, especially since it appears he died of a blood clot. But my mind always goes back to Bravecto. It was the one thing that changed right before I found him.

.my dog had seizures the day after a normal yearly vaccination.5 months later she died of a twisted stomach.She was only 5 yrs old.Never vaccinated any dog since.

Sometimes real meds are the way to go because they work! Home remedy stuff, some...maybe. ok Most the store bought stuff is just plain garbage its sold OTC and cheap for a reason. Same as any supplement or miracle fix from a health food store. ANimals cost money, either commit or dont get one in the first place

Thanks for the kind words :)

For a natural heartworm treatment; You can use diatomaceous earth for humans, giving a couple of teaspoons mixed in with the pet food , for at least 7 days at the start of every month. Some people use it every day for their dogs. There is plenty of research on websites, for this safe, natural remedy. 😀

@m.mickeypayne9811 Thank you so much for that information. I had no idea. We'll give'r a try 😉

I use HWF by Amber Naturalz for my silver Lab. She is a clean bill of health.

@@MeganGarzaWellness thank you 😊

The heartworm preventative gave my friends dog Addison's disease. She had issues after every dose, and they finally traced it back to the heartworm meds. The manufacturer reimbursed her vet bills.

I’m so sorry.

Happened to my dog too. It's heartbreaking because they hear one day and don't the next. He was so confused and fearful for months😢

Oh my god this is awful im so so sorry 🙏

Oh no!!! And I give this to my boy! Thank you for sharing this painful experience. I know for you all that has posted the Otomax experience and your poor furball going deaf, it may not bring back their hearing but trust you helped me and others by your pain. Give them a butt scratch from my Baxter and Bella. Thank you again ❤️

676Forcedhhow much do you give your dog?

Thank goodness you got off. Good job!

I did the same, switched my boy off Apoquel and started making his food myself. It has made a huge difference. The vet told me there were no side effects, but I read the clinical trial Zoetis did during the development of Apoquel, how some of the dogs had to be put down after being on it for less than a year due to massive tumor growth. We are the only ones who truly have our dog’s best interests at heart. We need to push back against the garbage medication and garbage food that is being peddled by people who only care about money.

The same thing happened to my dog!! Lots of weird bumps on her inner thighs after about a week or two of starting Apoquel. I had read online that was a side effect and my vet didn’t even know. Threw them all away.

Take care your animals don’t get heartworms.

What does the mixture contain?

brewers yeast for fleas, DE for worms

I got this information from (Dr. Janet Roark, the Essential Oil Vet) you may want to search her website for better information, I will be trying it this year on my doggie. For prevention of fleas and ticks: Apply diluted Cedarwood Essential Oil or TerraShield Repellent Blend every 8-12 hours. You can use it as a spray, or you can place the diluted oil on your hands and rub the pet all over. For added repelling properties, add 2-3 drops of Citronella, Lemon Eucalyptus, and Turmeric Essential Oil.

@@thisoneforu Yes. And if you like, you can mix the cedarwood in coconut oil (warmed so it melts) or just rub in plain coconut oil around their neck, base of the ears, cheeks, chest, etc. I also put cedarwood and neem oil on the harness because pure essential oils aren't good on the skin ( they burn?????) Another person I met used Geranium oil on a neck bandana.............

I’m so sorry for your loss.. Praying for you🙏

@@Rachaelc1776 Very kind of you to say that. Thank you. ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet. We recently lost our 18 year old cat who we had since he was a kitten. We miss him so much every day.

My dog was on rimadyl to and she died from cancer god now i feel awful 😭💔

@@Theresebonath6077 yes I understand.❤ I feel same.

I truly believe they get kickbacks to push these newer medicines just like human doctors do.

There are some good ones, my vet recommended cold laser treatments for my dog’s chronic leg pain. He knew that keeping her on medication was not a good idea. The treatments worked incredibly well, she hasn’t needed to take any medications since .

What do you use instead my dog is on apoquel he has alergy sympotomes he scrathes him self?

@@erictremblay9567 Well.. we have figured out what his allergies are through some diagnostic testing and food ingredient restrictions. He is still itchy sometimes. If he gets into something then we will give him some Benadryl. Right now we are starting to make him some meals so he gets less kibble in the hopes to help his gut microbiome. I'm learning that a lot of food allergies are from gut bacteria being way out of whack. I understand your frustration. :( It's definitely hard.

What are the ingredients for his esr cleaner? My 13 year old is having hearing issues and my vet barely looked in his ears and said it's just old age. Since that visit his hearing has improved so l don't believe it's age related

@@charmlove1935 I use a srynge 5ml and 99.9 pure water from my well and 3% hydrogen peroxide, I mix it up fresh for every ear cleaning session about once a week for water and peroxide I do 1 srynge of each and add 4-5 drops of rubbing alcohol at least 80% I put the 30ml dropper container in my shirt pocket until warm and then clean ears, rubbing it in gently, amazing how much wax it can clear out. I am a Jeweler and Knife maker so I made some delicate polished wire wax removers and they work really well.
