In my practice I have several dogs who have the same symptoms yet visits to the vet turn up no physical problems.  The symptoms are random seizures and the sudden onset of aggression.  The one thing that the cases have in common is that the symptoms came on after receiving their vaccinations.

Bailey is an American Bulldog puppy whose symptoms were so bad the vet had recommended putting her to sleep.  Her human guardian (I’ll call her Mary) contacted  me as a last resort and I began working with this unhappy puppy.  When I first communicated with Bailey it was like trying to reach an autistic child.  I went on the impressions she was sending me as she didn’t have her personality organized enough to talk with me. I did gather that she wanted to live and to heal.  She felt tremendous love for Mary and complete frustration with her condition - which was marked by unpredictable out of control aggression.

I could “feel”  Bailey’s liver was extraordinarily stressed - probably by the chemicals in her environment, in the vaccinations and in her food. I gave Mary the name of a holistic vet who could help her to detox Bailey.  Mary put her on a raw food diet and the vet  prescribed homeopathic and herbal medicines. Mary also found an accupuncturist to work on Bailey.

I’m happy to say that Bailey is maturing and settling down.  Her aggressive tendencies are waning and she is beginning to enjoy life.  She’s been in treatment for 6 months now and Bailey continues to improve with Mary’s wonderful care.

Last week a call came in from California - a 7 year old mixed breed dog with the same symptoms.  Since “Chester” was older than Bailey, he was able to communicate clearly with me.  He felt desperate with the onset of the aggression because he saw himself a very loving dog.  The vets had given his human guardians no answers for his condition and they called me as a last resort.  Since what I sensed about “Chester” was identical to Bailey- and since the symptoms came on right after vaccines, I gave them the same advice: Work with a holistic vet, get the dog on a “clean” preferably raw-meat diet, and allow a lot of time for him to heal. 

I don’t like commercial dog and cat foods.  They contain too much grain and many indigestible ingredients as well as lots of preservatives.  Dogs used to live much longer, healthier lives when fed table scraps. I’ve had vets tell me this.  I see a lot of illness and dysfunction in my practice that clears up once an animal is put on a decent diet.  I have all 5 of my cats on raw food and all degenerative diseases are a thing of the past.  Rusty, a 13 year old orange tabby no longer has hip dysplasia.  Buster, my 6 year orange long haired Maine Coon, hasn’t had UTI once since he’s
been on raw food (he had had several bad bouts of UTI before raw food).  Their teeth don’t need cleaning as much, either.  For more information, go to my home page: www.powerpaws.com and click on to the discussion forum.  There are several topics there on alternative diets that support the health of your animals.
