Re: How can You STOP those Infectious Diseases?
//////////////////////////////////////////////
A cheery Good Morning to you.
I am getting ready for a LONG weekend ON-Call- I am hoping
that it will be quiet.
Remember the Puppy who came in with Parvovirus yesterday?
Vomiting/Bloody Diarrhea and Dehydrated..
Well it turns out that he came from a Breeder
with many other Puppies on the property.
And the Question to me was:
WHAT else can I do to help boost the Puppies Immune
systems so they Don’t get Parvovirus?
1. Have them on a Premium Quality Diet. I have a detailed
list of these in the membership site:
2. De-Worm them all- ensure they are NOT fighting anything
else.
3. Get them ALL vaccinated for Parvovirus.
4. FATTY ACIDS ARE ESSENTIAL. Omega 3 fatty acids are great
anti-inflammatories and immune boosters. Flax is the best source
for dogs: the dose is 1tsp per cup of dog food. For cats, the
liquid form is the only option, and they should receive 500mg
twice daily of Salmon oil or a supplement such as EFA Caps
purchased from your veterinarian.
5. HERBAL HELP. Herbs can help strengthen the immune system.
GREEN TEA (CAMELLIA) stimulates the immune system.
ESSIAC TEA contains a combination of herbs which are immune stimulating.
GARLIC has antioxidant and immune-enhancing properties. It is
best used in conjunction with other antioxidants. When given at
high doses it can cause anemia in your pet, so it is best used
under the supervision of your veterinarian.
6. TRANSFER FACTOR. Transfer factors are tiny molecules that are
able to convey immunity information from one entity to another
to educate naive cells about a present or potential danger
along with a plan for action. Although the mostly notable
function of these smart molecules is to speed up the recognition
phase of an infection making the duration of an illness much shorter,
transfer factors also have the ability to suppress an over active
immune system. All said, transfer factors have the ability to
balance out the function of your immune system, whether it needs
to increase in function or be reduced in the case of auto-immune
disorders

P.S. The Puppy is doing O.K., but still having severe bloody
diarrhea- Many pups spend 4-5 days in the hospital and a few
even die from Parvo, in spite of doing everything.
I’ll keep you all updated on his progress.
To ensure that your pet has an optimal immune system, I suggest
a dose of On Going Learning- You can get THE most up to date
