Hi Friends!

It's me, Buster.

I know it's been a while since my last post, but I haven't been able to use Joette’s computer without her noticing what I'm up to. (more…)

From Tendon, Bone and Cartilage Problems to Healing with Homeopathy

Buster, the Bad Office Dog, was running in the fields by our pond a few months ago, when he apparently stepped into a hole or a depression in the ground. He let out a yelp and came limping back to us. He refused to put any weight on his back leg while yelping. Our poor dog was obviously in severe pain.

Now, sometimes a dog will limp for a bit but gradually start using the leg when the initial shock wears off. Not Buster. He was not about to put any weight on that leg for any reason.

As usual, I gave him a few doses of Arnica 200 for the initial pain and trauma, about 3 times per day for a few days.

But by the end of the week, the leg was no better. Buster was not putting any weight on it, and he would nip if anyone touched his hock. Fortunately, we have a holistic vet friend who lives just minutes from us and who is an excellent diagnostician. She said Buster had a torn meniscus. (more…)

Bad, Stinky Dog: Homeopathy Fixes It

Is your hound Baskerville-ish? You know, red eyes, threatening small towns with his menacing canine stench, growling at the UPS guy?

Meet Buster, The Bad Office Dog. He’s my dog, and he stays with the staff and me all day in our office. Sometimes he’s good, but sometimes he lives up to his moniker.

Every August he becomes more menacing than usual. Needy, whiny, his eyes inflamed, droopy and watery, especially after a bowl of raw milk, which is part of his diet all year. This is when he goes into a scratching frenzy, and he takes on an odor that is instantly noticeable on walking past him. Whoa, Buster, that’s awful!
