Sammy, a kitty with asthma

Sammy, the tabby with asthma

 

My 5 year old tabby developed asthma last year and has had several really severe attacks.  He was given an inhaler, which we used often twice a day.  Recently, he had another attack and my conventional vet gave him a shot, but he was extremely stressed at being in a vet's office where big dogs were coming into the office. They put him in a makeshift oxygen tent, and he almost died. 

My granddaughter insisted that I take  Sammy to a local veterinarian who uses holistic methods of treatment.  The integrative veterinarian used a procedure called NAET on Sammy.   In just three visits, Sammy is so well. We found out that he is allergic to the grains in his food, and I had been using a litter made from ground corn cobbs.  We have eliminated the grains, and all 7 of our cats are now on grain free food and are doing very well.  I am so happy with the NAET treatments. Sammy is doing so well, is outside most of the day and is only taking some homeopathic medicine each evening, and he actually takes it like he knows it's what he needs right now.

Bailey with Spleen Cancer

 Bailey with Spleen Cancer

“…My beloved Beagle named “Bailey” was diagnosed with spleen cancer in November 2016.  She was losing a lot of weight quickly so I took her to her normal veterinarian and he wanted to operate on her.  At that time Bailey was over 16 years old.  I agreed but after talking to several people, I had second thoughts so I cancelled the operation.  When I called the vet it was mentioned to give her the herb “Yunnan Baiyao” and I could get it in the health food store.  After trying many stores with no luck I reached out to my good friend Amy that makes essential oils and she recommend Dr. Mary Ellen of Sayre Veterinary Acupuncture...  At that time Bailey was only given a few days to a couple of weeks to live.  She was that bad.

Diablo - the Comeback Kid

Diablo, cancer
In 1994, my father was diagnosed with cancer. The disease was advanced so alternative treatments, we were told by professionals, weren’t a realistic alternative. The best and brightest minds in oncology decided aggressive radiation would give my dad his best chance.

Two months later he was dead.

My family grieved and while I urged my lonely mom to get a pet, she wasn't ready. Nor was she ready the next year. Or the next.  Five years went by until she decided it was time.

We visited a breeder who had five toy fox terrier puppies, all so bouncy they spent more time in the air the on the ground. Of the five, one loomed large and in charge, at a whopping 1.5 pounds. He was more willful than the rest. He wasn't taking no for an answer. He was coming home with us by his choice; we had no say in the matter. And he would go almost two months in our care before being named because we desperately hoped he would outgrow the only name that felt appropriate. He didn’t. So the name stuck: Diablo.
