Fading Puppy Syndrome - a deep dive into causes and treatments

Fading Puppy Syndrome - a deep dive into causes and treatments

Fading Puppy Syndrome is not a diagnosis. It is a catch-all phrase that describes neonatal puppies born healthy, but which gradually fade and die of uncontrollable and unknown causes.

Up to about 30% of newborns die within the first two weeks of life. 50% of these deaths occur within the first week and are attributed to Fading Puppy Syndrome. Little research has been done on this subject, but it is a situation known to every breeder eventually. Fading Puppy Syndrome is most common during the first week of life but may occur up until ten weeks.

DIY Recipes for Pet Accidents

As a pet parent, I have spent a great deal of time learning to read product labels.  I have learned that dogs have exquisitely sensitive olfactory systems, making them extremely sensitive to damage from harmful chemicals that are contained in so many household products on the market today.  In the United States, you will find products that are banned in other more enlightened countries.  Many are "greenwashed", a term that means a product appears on the surface to be healthy and natural; but if you flip the container over to read the ingredients, there are toxic ingredients inside.  Products like Simple Green Carpet Cleaner, for example, rated "D" for respiratory concern, skin allergies, reproductive and developmental toxicity, and impact on the environment.  Who knew?

Here are some simple, natural recipes to clean the most difficult of pet stains.  Totally safe, and very effective...

Should we use intuition or science to make decisions?

Should we use intuition or science to make decisions?

Making difficult decisions regarding your pet's treatment can be very challenging.  From choosing diet, mating choices, supplements, and even treatments for conditions - we rely mostly on the internet and the wisdom of those more experienced than we are. But what about tapping into our inner self?  The endless flow of information that comes from within that we tend to ignore in lieu of our mind chatter.  How can we use intuition to help us make difficult decisions, or is that something that just anyone can do?

Rabies Miasm, The Reality and The Cure

Rabies Miasm, The Reality and The Cure

Rabies Miasm: Reality and The Cure

The first time I ever encountered the words “rabies miasm” was in a holistic vet’s office in Houston. I presented a 5-year-old boxer bitch named Ginger. She had a myriad of issues that no veterinarian to date had been able to diagnose. The words “rabies miasm” were not what I expected, but there they were. Well, she did seem to have a mild form of rabies, so maybe this vet was onto something. However, she also had many other symptoms, and I couldn’t see how it could all stem from this mystery illness caused a “miasm”.

What does “miasm” mean, exactly?
