We just got a dog last night, well a 12week old puppy. We have to have a rabies vaccine for it, please remind me of any books or resources to take care of our dog holistically. Especially for heart worm. I do not want our dog to get it.

Thank you very much!!! She is a doll and is already bonding to our boys. I can't

wait till my daughter sees her this afternoon.

My husband is more leery about not vaccinating Molly our dog, then he was aabout

the kids...so so when I told him you all had the answers or tips to the right

spot for us to start our reading - he said you go ask them!! Lol!!! He's just

terrified of Molly getting heart worm, since one of my in-laws dogs died from

it.

so I want the right tools in our home for her too. Plus, with her getting the

rabies shot, I need to know what to do to look for in reactions and etc.

I'll call my local book store to see what one of these books they have.

Thank you sooo much.

Hi Carlena!

Congrats on your new puppy!

<He's just terrified of Molly getting heart worm, since one of my in-laws dogs died from it.

Heartworms are like any other parasite, a healthy immune system will destroy the microflaria. Have you read up on the life cycle of the heartworm? It's very difficult to get heartworm, it's a multi-stage process. The best thing you can do is not to vaccinate anymore and feed a raw diet, this will ensure she has the best immunity possible. I live in FL, mosquitos year round, I haven't used any type of preventative for years, my dogs are not vaxed, rawfed and I have them tested twice yearly for heartworms. If you join the AutNatK9 group you'll have access to various natural approaches for treating HWs, including Dr. Wessner's.

I would not follow any of Dr. Pitcairn's recipes, they are loaded with grains, he really needs to get up to speed with what is a true species appropriate diet for dogs and cats. Dr. Hamilton's book is quite good, "Homeopathic Care for Cats & Dogs".

<Plus, with her getting the rabies shot, I need to know what to do to look for in reactions and <etc.

There are many possible reactions, the most common are fear and aggression. Symptoms can occur months or years later, it's always best not to vaccinate. If she does start having symptoms you need to work w/ a good homeopath to try and resolve what ever the symptoms are.

Enjoy your new puppy and be prepared to go shoe shopping!

There are natural heartworm preventatives and treatments, and we live next door

to a large structure with tons of bats. We had 9 bats in the area prove rabies

positive a few years ago and no incidents of dogs or cats contracting it. We

had a totally unvaccinated dog at the time and to be honest, I wasn't worried in

the slightest. Her body was sooooo healthy and strong! Her immune system was

well supported. She was on no chemicals for fleas or heartworm, and she never

got sick when exposed to standard dog illnesses like parvo. But I also have

spent years learning and raising them and have tons of things on hand to both

build the system and to deal with parvo or viral issues, should we encounter

them. There are lots of dog groups to join for more support! Best wishes with

your dog!

We can't not give her the rabies shot. We live in a very small town, less then

1000 people.Then the city official made a point to say Molly has to have the

rabies shot or she can't be in town. They dont care about the rest of the shots,

so that's what our plan was.

we had a few bumps so far. We were told she had all her puppy shots, but turns

out she has had only 2 parvo shots, and she's 10-11 weeks not 12 like we were

told. So I'm glad she's had less shots, husband is not.

we saw the vet on Monday because Molly refused to eat or drink. Now I'm not so

sure of this new vet since he gave me medicine for running stools and I told him

she didnt. He says she has Crohn's Disease based of the sample he got. :/

If we do a raw diet, I need it to be super easy and Gluten free since we have

major food allergies in our household. Since 3 of us have Celiac Disease/ Gluten

Intolerance - I limit it the exposure of Gluten in my home.

How do I build up her immune system especially for heart worm and those other

diseases like rabies. It was heartbreaking watching Chance suffer thru the Heart

worm like he did. Thank GOD my older 2 kids were so small they just remember him

being really sick and then he was gone the next time we went up there.

We are very inexperienced dog owners. Trying to do everything right but natural

at the same time. Lol!

I currently only have very limited internet access on my phone, till I get to

town and go to the library. But I'll check out that group the next time I'm in

town. In the mean-time...what things can I do to boost her immune system? I'm

gonna cancel the dis-temper shot till I do some more research. I did Google

search for a holistic vet...none local, not even close to St.Cloud - which is

shorter drive then all the way to MPLS, MN...which is the nearest one. So I

don't know what to do.

Really feeling overwhelmed with all of this, like when I first started on my

journey for my kids.
