Re: it’s not your fault
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Hello again to you and your pets- it’s Thursday.
————————–
Whose fault is it?
————————–
If you’ve ever had a pet become seriously ill, or die – then you’ve probably experienced a tonne of guilt around it.
This happened to me when Hoochie died.
He was this healthy 8 year old lab cross, dying from a massive spleen tumor…
I was not only his owner – he was the Best Dog Ever, I was a Veterinarian.
Yet I couldn’t do anything to help him.
Sure I did surgery to remove the tumor, but it had spread to his liver, and he died 3 weeks later.
————
WHY?
————
I asked myself this question a TONNE of times -
Why me?
Why did he get sick?
Why couldn’t I have done more?
——————————–
It’s NOT your fault
——————————–
If you have asked yourself this question, take solace in knowing that it’s not your fault.
YOU are taking direction from the ‘Conventional’ Animal health care industries.
Which advise…
———————–
Vaccines
———————–
1. Vaccinate often and with many components… The MORE vaccines the drug companies sell, the more profit they make.
I am sure that the Vaccine Companies are LOVING the Swine Flu hysteria.
Vaccines also get clients in the door- and for Veterinarians, clients are what makes their business, so they are RELUCTANT to have you vaccinate less.
But the Vaccines can cause a whole host of medical problems, including Cancer.
I gave Hoochie yearly combination vaccines.
————————
A pill a day…..
————————
2. Pill pushers… We are conditioned to take a ‘pill’ whenever we are ill.
And the Pharmaceutical Industry LOVES that.
Hence you go to your Vet- your dog or cat will most likely leave with either an injection of some type…or a pill.
YET these pills often have some pretty serious side effects..such as liver failure from conventional anti-inflammatories.
There are a huge number of alternatives – from acupressure to homeopathy, BUT you aren’t told about them.
..And in fact Hoochie was on a Conventional anti-inflammatory for arthritis.
———————————–
Dry, Carbohydrate LOADED Kibble
———————————–
3. Diet..
You are BOMBARDED with advertising to encourage your pet to eat some carbohydrate loaded, toxin laddened, dry dog or cat kibble.
Many of the Pet Food Companies are LARGE multinational corporations- their GOAL is to MASS produce pet food, and PROFIT.
You are TOLD to feed this – in spite of the fact that many of these foods have serious heath side effects.
The classic ones are diabetes, and urinary tract disease in cats eating dry, carbohydrate loaded kibble.
Cats NEED Animal Protein to survive and thrive.
YET most of the commercial cat foods contain carbs, such as corn, as the FIRST ingredient.
I fed Hoochie a carbohydrate loaded dry kibble – and I thought it was ‘good’ because it was Veterinary Approved…
Hardly.
It is easy to see the fallacy in this when you make a comparison to your own diet.
NOT all nutrition can come in a bag. NUTRIENTS don’t survive for months on the shelf.
IF you want to live longer, and avoid disease, you need to eat nutrient RICH foods- FRESH fruits and vegetables… NOT only packaged material.
The same logic applies to your dog or cat.
You MUST feed a variety, and supplement their diet, IF they are to thrive and ultimately fight off diseases- such as cancer.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
P.S. MUCH of the information that you hear about keeping your pet healthy, and Treating disease is WRONG.
It’s not your fault, for you are doing what most of us do- and that is follow the direction of the ‘Experts’
They are telling you to Vaccinate often, take the Conventional Medication, and Feed the Carbohydrate loaded, toxin laced Dry Kibble.
—————————–
How often have you heard?
—————————–
‘It’s safe, little chance of side effects..’
When in fact that is often NOT the case.
But by joining my newsletter, you have become part of an EMPOWERED community of dog and cat owners who are seeking better ways to keep their pets healthy and prevent disease.
Thanks for being part of it.
I look forward to sharing with you much of what I have learned since Hoochie died.
P.P.S. For those of you looking to try out what I teach, a very simple and inexpensive way to start is in my Inner Circle. You can see my digital books, webinars, audios and videos – PLUS have a video sent to you door for the cos*t of shipping.
It’s here:
Your path to a healthier pet.
Best Wishes,

Essential First Aid: CPR
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is the most important first aid technique that every pet owner should be comfortable with. Chances are that you will never have to use it, but it will save your pet’s life if a ball is lodged in his airway.
This section describes the basic technique. This is also covered in my pet first aid manual, Pet First Aid Secrets: Complete Canine And Feline First Aid Manual, but it is included here because of its importance. For a demonstration and more thorough description, refer to my video: Pet CPR.
There are some very basic steps:
1.Assess responsiveness
2.Establish a patent airway
3.Perform rescue breathing
4.Cardiac massage – establishing circulation
STEP 1: RESPONSIVENESS
The first step is making sure that your pet is truly unresponsive.
1.CHECK his breathing by placing your hand in front of his mouth and nose.
2.CHECK for his heartbeat by placing your ear against the left side of his chest – this is the area where his left elbow touches his chest, immediately behind his left armpit.
STEP 2: AIRWAY
The second step in CPR is obtaining a patent airway.
1.PULL the tongue out of your pet’s mouth, but be careful to not get bitten.
2.STRAIGHTEN the neck by moving the head to be in line with the neck.
DO NOT HYPEREXTEND IN CASES OF NECK TRAUMA.
3.PERFORM two rescue breaths, by closing the mouth and performing mouth to nose ventilations. IF they continue, then proceed to STEP 3, BREATHING.
If there are no breaths, then look into the mouth.
4.VISIBLY inspect the mouth and look down the throat for a foreign body. If you see something, reach into the airway and remove it.
5.IF the airway is still not open, attempt HEIMLICH (shown in following steps).
6.TURN your pet upside down, with back against your chest.
7.WITH both arms, give sharp thrusts to the abdomen.
8.AFTER 5 thrusts, stop and check to see if the object is visible in the airway. If so remove it and give 2 mouth-to-nose rescue breaths. If the breaths do not go in, repeat HEIMLICH.
STEP 3: BREATHING
After achieving a patent airway, perform RESCUE BREATHING.
1.CLOSE your pet’s mouth and breathe directly into his nose until his chest expands. If the chest does not expand then go back to STEP 2 – AIRWAY.
2.VENTILATE at 15 breaths per minute. One BREATH every 4 seconds.
3.PROCEED to STEP 4 – CIRCULATION
STEP 4: CIRCULATION
1.ENSURE there are no major points of bleeding. Control as necessary.
2.GENTLY lay your pet on his right side.
3.LOCATE the heart, which is found on the lower half of the chest on the left side, behind the elbow of the front left leg. Place one hand below the heart to support the chest; place the other hand over the heart.
4.COMPRESS the chest 15 times followed by 2 rescue breaths. 3 compressions every 2 seconds. Compress the chest 1/2 inch for small pets and 1 1/2 inches for large pets.
5.EVERY 15 times follow up with 2 rescue breaths.
Continue heart massage compressions and the rescue breathing until you hear a heartbeat and feel regular breathing.
Once your pet is breathing and his heart is beating, call your veterinarian immediately.

The Swine Flu…
——————————-
Here in Canada we’ve been BOMBARDED with over the top media coverage of 2 young people dying.
And now the Vaccine PUSH has begun with a frenzy.
The SINGLE biggest problem is that there is NO data to support that the vaccine is effective. It may NOT even work.
And along with it there may be serious side effects – by injecting along an adjuvant, and causing your immune system to react inappropriately.
I WON’T be getting the vaccine, NOR will my family.
You decide…

Swine Flu and Pets
———————————-
Here is some specific info from the AVMA website:
Q: What is swine flu?
A: Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The “classical” swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. Swine flu viruses cause illness in pigs, but the death rates are low. This new virus, although it is being called “swine flu,” is not the same virus.
Q:Did this flu come from pigs? Can I catch it from pigs?
A:At this time, we don’t know exactly where the virus came from.
Although this new influenza is being called “swine flu,” it is being spread mainly from person to person. None of the U.S. cases had contact with pigs.
On May 2, 2009 Canadian authorities announced 2009 H1N1 infection in a herd of pigs in Alberta. Exactly how the pigs became infected is not known at this time – initial reports indicated the pigs were infected by a farm worker who had recently traveled to Mexico, but this was proven wrong when blood tests on the worker showed he had never been exposed to the 2009 H1N1 virus. For updates, go to the CFIA’s Web site. The virus has also been detected in several swine herds in Manitoba and in a swine herd in Northern Ireland.
There have been two confirmed cases of swine-to-human transmission of the 2009 H1N1 virus. Two Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspectors became ill with the 2009 H1N1 virus while investigating an outbreak of the virus on a swine farm in Alberta in late April 2009.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), World Health Organization (WHO), and other health agencies worldwide continue to monitor the pandemic.
Q: Can this flu infect birds? Can I get it from birds?
A:Yes, it apparently can infect birds. In August 2009, authorities in Chile reported 2009 H1N1 influenza in two turkey farms near Valparaiso. In October 2009, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed 2009 H1N1 in a turkey flock in Ontario, Canada. It is not yet known if infected birds can pass the 2009 H1N1 virus to humans.
Q:Can my pet get the 2009 H1N1 virus?
A:To date, there is no evidence that cats or dogs are susceptible to this new strain of influenza; it appears to be transmitted only from person to person or from human to swine. On October 9, 2009, a USDA laboratory confirmed 2009/H1N1 infection in a ferret. The ferret’s owner had previously been ill. At this time, there are no reports of 2009/H1N1 flu being transmitted from a ferret to a person.
The best advice is to always follow common sense guidelines when dealing with animals (eg, washing your hands). In addition, it’s more important than ever that pet owners keep a good eye on their pet’s health and consult a veterinarian if their pet is showing any signs of illness. Keeping your pets healthy reduces their risk of becoming ill.
Q:Can my pot-bellied pig get the 2009 H1N1 virus and give it to me?
A:To date, the 2009 H1N1 virus has not been reported in pot-bellied pigs. However, the possibility of human-to-pig transmission of the virus warrants extra caution by pig owners. After all, pot-bellied pigs are considered swine, and therefore may be susceptible to the virus. For the time being, a cautious approach would include all contact between your pig and anyone who is ill or has recently been exposed to an ill person. Remember that pot-bellied pigs can become ill from a number of causes, and keeping your pig healthy and free of disease helps protect your pig as well as you. If you have a pet pig and it appears ill, consult a veterinarian immediately.
Q: What about Ferrets?
A: On October 8, 2009, Oregon State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory presumptively diagnosed pandemic influenza H1N1 by PCR from the nasal secretions of a ferret.
Ferrets can contract the typical Human Flu viruses.
This ONE ferret that tested positive has recovered.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
P.S. The POINT of vaccines are to PREVENT disease – not cause them.
So what can you do to keep your pet healthy?
- Excellent nutrition: feeding home diets and raw food , and/or a top quality commercial food
- Regular exercise
- Providing quality health supplements (hint: try Dr. Jones’ Ultimate Canine Health Formula at www.thedogsupplement.com!)
- Avoiding conventional medication that causes side effects
- Using natural alternatives when possible
- Continued questioning of conventional practices
- A commitment by you as a concerned pet owner to be as empowered as possible

SIGNS
This is a life-threatening condition, which occurs as a result of a serious injury or illness. It can progress to collapse and death.
PALE OR WHITE GUMS. Examine the gums by gently lifting the upper lid to expose the gums. Sometimes the gums are pigmented so look right around the mouth. Dogs, such as the Chow, are impossible to assess as they have naturally pigmented gums. If the gums are pale or white your pet needs urgent veterinary attention.
RAPID HEART RATE AND WEAK RAPID PULSE. The heart rate often exceeds 150 beats/minute.
RAPID BREATHING. Your pet may appear woozy and weak. They often have difficulty standing.
CAUSES
Shock occurs when there is a collapse of the circulatory system (made up of the heart, blood vessels and blood) due to:
BLOOD LOSS. Bleeding can be external or internal. Blood can be lost into the chest between the ribs and the lungs, into the abdomen around the organs or into the organs themselves, such as the bladder. There may be no obvious signs that bleeding has occurred. The volume of blood in the vessels then becomes insufficient for the body’s needs.
FLUID LOSS. Fluids lost to the body through, for example, vomiting and diarrhea are drawn from the entire body including the blood, causing dehydration and loss of blood volume. Most Parvovirus cases present in shock.
DECREASED BLOOD PRESSURE. This may be brought about due to pain, spinal cord injury, infection or poisoning.
SOLUTIONS
TO THE VET ASAP. Any sign of shock requires urgent veterinary care with IV Fluids. Apply some of the following solutions while you transport your pet to the vet.
ASSESS SEVERITY. Check breathing and heartbeat. If you can see the chest rise and fall then she is breathing. If not, perform rescue breathing. Wrap your hands around your pet’s muzzle (their mouth is closed), and breath into their nose. The chest should rise. Give 15 breaths per minute (one every 4 seconds). If the chest doesn’t rise, then proceed to the Heimlich (See CPR section in Bonus Material 3 for further details)
CPR. The next step is to feel for a heartbeat by placing your hand behind the left elbow on the chest. If the heart has stopped, then begin CPR. Perform 5 heart compressions and 1 rescue breath. You should be giving 80-100 compressions per minute. For complete details on administering CPR to your pet see Bonus Material 3.
STOP THE BLEEDING. Apply direct pressure to any open wound your pet may have. Use whatever is available: gauze, soft cloth, or a towel. Don’t remove the cloth if it soaks through; apply another on top and continue the pressure.
KEEP HIM WARM. Hot water bottles filled with warm water can be placed around your pet especially against the stomach. Do not use boiling water. Wrap the bottles up in towels to prevent burns. Wrap your pet loosely in a blanket or a jacket. The disrupted circulation can cause hypothermia making the shock even worse.
SOME SWEETENING. Pets with signs of shock often have low blood sugar. In these cases, raising the blood sugar level is helpful. Rub honey or corn syrup on your pet’s gums.
UNCONSCIOUS. If your pet is unconscious, place it on its side with her head extended.
ELEVATE. Elevate your pet’s chest and hindquarters above the head by placing folded towels or a pillow under the pet’s chest and body. This is to prevent fluids from entering the chest and to increase the blood flow to the brain.
COMFORTABLE CAR RIDE. If you pet is conscious, allow it to make itself comfortable. For cats and smaller dogs encourage them to sit in a box or basket as it will make it easier to transport them.
NO FOOD OR WATER PLEASE. Do not give any food or water. Your pet may need anesthesia and surgery.
STABILIZE FRACTURES. Sometimes it is not possible to transport your pet straight away. If this is the case, it is important to make your pet as comfortable and as pain-free as possible. For instance, if your pet has broken its leg, especially if it is a large dog and will need to be able to walk to get itself into a car, splinting the leg will help control the pain and help to manage the degree of shock. Do not give any painkillers without advice from a veterinarian.
HOMEOPATHIC SHOCK REMEDY. An effective pain remedy that is safe for dogs and cats is Arnica. The dose is 2 30C tablets twice daily. Bach’s Rescue Remedy is also a good anti-anxiety treatment you may use to make your pet more comfortable as you transport them (give yourself some too, it is good for your anxieties as well).
