Struvite stones, also called triple phosphate stones and magnesium ammonium phosphate stones, are a type of bladder stone or bladder crystal that occurs in both dogs and cats. Magnesium, ammonia and phosphate are common substances found in urine. In high concentrations, they can bind together to form crystals that irritate your pet's bladder and cause inflammation. If the crystals combine with mucus, they can form plugs that partially or completely block the urinary tract. Symptoms of struvite stones include frequent urination, straining to urinate and blood-tinged or cloudy urine. Diagnosis will include a urinalysis, a culture and sensitivity test for bacterial infections, and abdominal x-rays or ultrasound. Treatment of mild to moderate cases involves resolving any existing infection, creating and maintaining a healthy urine pH, and providing a species-appropriate, moisture-rich diet. Struvite stones located in the urethra or the ureters, and stones that don’t dissolve despite dietary changes and medical management, typically require surgery.

Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal form of poisoning that can result from eating spoiled raw meat, dead animals, or decaying vegetable matter infected with the Clostridium botulinum type C neurotoxin. Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, spore-forming, motile bacterium with the ability to produce the neurotoxin botulinum. Botulism causes weakness that can progress to paralysis of all four limbs. Other clinical signs include trouble chewing and swallowing, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Treatment includes giving a type C anti-toxin and supportive care depending on the severity of symptoms. To prevent botulism, pets should never have access to spoiled raw meat or animal carcasses.

Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (IMT) is a condition in which the body’s immune system destroys its own blood platelets. IMT is primarily a disease of middle-aged dogs, and while any breed can be affected, Poodles, Cocker Spaniels, and Old English Sheepdogs are predisposed. The disease is quite rare in cats. Blood platelets are very important types of blood cells. They not only help blood to clot and seal holes in leaking blood vessels, they also produce biochemicals that make permanent repairs to those holes. The exact cause of IMT is unknown, however, the condition can be triggered or exacerbated by vaccines, especially bacterins (such as lepto and Lyme vaccines) and adjuvanted killed vaccines (such as the rabies vaccine). Most of the symptoms of IMT are bleeding-related, with spontaneous bruising being one of the most common. Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia is a complex condition that varies from patient to patient, so treatment must be individualized. Most pets with IMT can live normally if they respond well to medical treatment.

Bananas have been a part of people's diet for thousands of years. In fact, they are one of the most popular and highly cultivated fruits worldwide, outranking apples and oranges in terms of sales, with around 100 billion consumed globally annually.1 Bananas have become a staple in many cultures because they're filling, versatile and affordable. They're also a good source of various nutrients and bioactive compounds that may benefit not only you but your furry family members too. One of the most notable benefits of bananas is that they're rich in antioxidants, including phenolics, carotenoids, biogenic amines and phytosterols. Green bananas contain resistant starches and pectins, making them a good whole food source of prebiotics.

It's mind boggling to think about all the different ways our pets are exposed to toxins and chemicals in today's world. There's radiation, environmental pesticides, lawn and home chemicals, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), flame-retardants, bisphenol A (BPA), hydrocarbons and heavy metals. If your pet’s toxic burden overwhelms his body’s ability to naturally eliminate those toxins, it can damage his health. There are many steps you can take to minimize your pet’s exposure to toxins and support the organs of her body responsible for detoxification. For many pets, a regular detoxification protocol can also be very beneficial.

An ulcer of the stomach or the intestine, called gastroduodenal ulcer disease, refers to one or more ulcers found in a dog's or cat's stomach and/or duodenum. The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. Ulcers are more common in dogs than cats, but kitties do get them as well. A healthy pet’s gastrointestinal tract is very resilient and fast-healing, but if stomach acid overwhelms the protective forces of the digestive tract, a gastric ulcer can be the unfortunate result. In my practice, the two most common reasons for GI ulcers are overuse of steroids or NSAIDs (or both), and helicobacter infection secondary to an unhealthy GI tract. A helicobacter infection is a sign that your pet’s innate GI defenses and immune system are compromised; it’s important to identify what influences in your dog’s or cat’s environment and lifestyle are contributing factors. There are many things you can do as your pet’s guardian to keep her GI tract healthy, starting with feeding a balanced, biologically appropriate diet of fresh, natural foods. It’s also important to insure any drug or other chemical your pet is exposed to is given in the lowest possible effective therapeutic dose, and insist on antibody titer testing in lieu of automatic re-vaccination.

My guest today is integrative veterinarian Dr. Colleen Smith, who was nominated for a Game Changer award by LaRayne H. Dr. Colleen is owner of the Chattanooga Holistic Animal Institute (CHAI) in Tennessee. Dr. Colleen wanted to be a veterinarian from an early age, but was sidetracked into a career as a chemist until she eventually returned to vet school. Unlike most veterinarians who become interested in holistic and integrative medicine, Dr. Colleen was skilled in acupuncture before she received her veterinary degree. Dr. Colleen loves the challenge of working with “hopeless cases;” she also loves helping shape the lifelong health of her puppy patients, and she even performs acupuncture on trailered horses in the alley next to her clinic!

Sadly, estimates are that over half of kitty companions 10 years and older suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is also referred to as chronic renal disease or chronic renal failure. There are many causes of CKD in cats, but one of the most common and preventable influences is a dry food diet. The prescription “renal diets” recommended by many veterinarians are also dry processed diets that provide very little moisture and poor-quality protein to kitty patients in desperate need of food loaded with moisture and animal protein. Ideally, CKD cats should be fed excellent-quality, fresh food diets formulated specifically to address renal disease. There are also natural supplements that can be very beneficial for cats with CKD.

Today I’m talking with Dr. Holly Ganz. Dr. Ganz is a microbial ecologist, which means she studies interactions between microorganisms and animals. She received her Ph.D. at the University of California, Davis, and founded her company, AnimalBiome, two years ago after spending nearly two decades in academia studying interactions between microbes and animals. A growing body of research confirms that a healthy microbiome is foundational to the overall health of both humans and animals. According to AnimalBiome survey results, most conventional veterinarians are open to the idea of microbiome restorative therapy, but know little about it. In the future, Dr. Ganz plans to develop customized treatments for each pet, as well as both therapeutic and maintenance protocols.

Have you noticed that your older pup's eyes have taken on a bluish haze? It's likely lenticular sclerosis, also known as nuclear sclerosis — and it's not a cause for alarm. The good news is lenticular sclerosis won't make your dog go blind. The condition comes on gradually, which allows pets to adjust well to any minor vision changes that may occur. It's important to distinguish lenticular sclerosis from cataracts, which can take on a similar blue-cloud appearance. While lenticular sclerosis shouldn't interfere with your pet's well-being, cataracts may need treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.

Chronic vomiting in cats is unfortunately so common these days that many pet parents and even some veterinarians don’t consider it a big deal. However, the reality is that regular vomiting is a sign something’s wrong, since your kitty’s cousins in the wild don't routinely vomit. It’s also important to realize that frequent vomiting is stressful and physically taxing. A common cause of frequent vomiting in cats is a poor-quality diet and food intolerances, both of which must be addressed to resolve the issue. Eating too fast and too much time between meals can cause vomiting, as can hairballs and constipation. Enzyme deficiencies, toxin ingestion, and an underlying medical condition can also play a role. Helping a chronically vomiting cat requires identifying the cause(s), addressing any underlying medical issues, and making appropriate dietary/lifestyle changes.

Some cats have a very strange disorder called hyperesthesia, also known as rippling skin syndrome or twitchy cat syndrome. In hyperesthesia, the skin on the back ripples from the shoulders all the way to the tail, and triggers a range of odd sensations and behaviors in the cat. In order to confirm a diagnosis of hyperesthesia, all disorders with similar symptoms must be ruled out. The first thing you should do for a kitty with hyperesthesia is feed a clean, nutritionally balanced, species-appropriate, carbohydrate-free diet. It’s also important to minimize all forms of stress in your cat’s lifestyle and environment, along with beneficial natural remedies and therapies, including chiropractic care.

The majority of people who love cats but are allergic to them either find they build up a tolerance to kitty allergens over time, or they learn tricks to manage their condition so they can share their heart and home with one or more feline companions. The trigger for most cat allergies is not kitty’s fur coat but her skin dander, or for many people, a specific protein found in both cat dander and saliva. There are several methods for reducing cat allergens in your home, including air purifiers, hard flooring, regular and thorough housecleaning, feeding kitty an anti-inflammatory diet that includes omega-3 essential fatty acids, and bathing your cat. Also consider a protocol of allergy-fighting supplements, including quercetin, bromelain, and papain; omega-3 fatty acids; coconut oil; and a probiotic supplement or traditionally fermented foods.

A basal cell tumor is a slow-growing overgrowth of cells on the outer layer of the skin. They can be either benign or malignant, but most are benign. In dogs, basal tumors are usually found on the head, neck, or forelimbs. In cats, they can develop almost anywhere on the body. These tumors are typically firm bumps that may be attached by a stalk. They can range in size from less than 1 centimeter to up to 10 centimeters in diameter. Malignant tumors are most often seen in older cats, and appear flatter than benign tumors. A confirming diagnosis is made through microscopic examination of tissue through either a fine-needle aspiration or a biopsy. The standard treatment for both benign and malignant basal cell tumors is surgery, which provides a complete cure if the entire tumor can be excised.

Necrosis of the femoral head, also known as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, or LCP, is a condition of the hip joint in which bone gradually deteriorates and dies. Continued use of the hip can cause early arthritis. The most common sign of LCP is progressive lameness in the rear legs. Symptoms typically start with an abnormal gait or limp and progress to pain during certain movements, reluctance to run or jump, and sometimes generalized irritability. Diagnosis of necrosis of the femoral head is made by physical examination and X-rays of the hip. Treatment for LCP can be conservative, requiring several weeks of strict cage rest, or it can involve surgery (the recommended treatment in most cases). Regardless of the treatment approach, adjunctive therapies such as acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and massage can be extremely beneficial to the healing process. Surgery for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, called a femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO), should only be performed by a board-certified veterinary orthopedic surgeon or a general veterinary practitioner with extensive experience in FHO procedures.

Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE), is a potentially life-threatening condition seen primarily in 2- to 4-year-old toy and small breed dogs. The cause of this mysterious condition is unknown; primary symptoms include the sudden onset of bloody diarrhea and vomiting that ultimately also turns bloody. Diagnosis is made based on symptoms, specific bloodwork measures and a diarrhea panel. Treatment for HGE is primarily supportive and must be started immediately and aggressively to achieve the best outcome. A percentage of dogs who have one episode of HGE will have a recurrence, so it’s especially important for guardians of those dogs to know the signs and seek immediate veterinary care.

Encephalitis means inflammation of the brain, and it may be accompanied by inflammation of the spinal cord (myelitis) and/or inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord (meningitis). The disease is either the result of an infectious agent or it is termed “idiopathic,” meaning the cause is not known. However, idiopathic encephalitis often has an underlying immune-mediated cause. Symptoms of encephalitis depend on the area of the brain that is affected, and usually come on suddenly and progress quickly. A confirming diagnosis often involves a spinal tap. Holistic veterinarians typically use therapies such as homotoxicology, ozone therapy, and herbal protocols in conjunction with traditional treatments for encephalitis patients.

Dogs occasionally get constipated, however, if your dog is regularly constipated, it’s important to find out what’s causing the problem and the best way to resolve it. Your pet should poop at least once a day, every day; dry, hard stools that are difficult to pass are a sign your dog is constipated. In otherwise healthy pets, most constipation is caused by lack of adequate water and/or dietary fiber; however, there are also more serious problems that can cause or worsen the condition. The foundational treatment for constipation in dogs is offering a moisture-dense, nutritionally balanced, biologically appropriate diet. A constant supply of fresh drinking water, daily exercise, added dietary fiber and appropriate supplements are also very important for constipated pets.

There are many reasons that dogs and cats can lose their vision at any age. Is your pet showing any of these telltale signs? Four things you can do to help prevent blindness, and how to help your vision-impaired pet feel secure and comfortable at home. Partial or complete blindness in dogs and cats can be present from birth, the result of an injury or illness, or the result of an age-related eye disease. Causes of pet blindness that are not congenital or age-related include several medical conditions of the eye, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and cancer. Symptoms of a gradual loss of vision in a cat or dog include misjudging heights, bumping into things, disorientation, and a change in the appearance of the eyes. There are many things guardians of partially or completely blind pets can do to help them feel secure and comfortable at home, including keeping their environment unchanged, and avoiding loud noises and sudden movements.
