My Rescue dog has E.G.I.D, her immune system goes nuts from airborne allergens + some foods, her throat swells, bad acid reflux when she had endoscope & biospies done on her stomach & small bowel they also found mild to moderate Helicobacter & wanted to put Roxy on Triple Therapy meds for 21days Metronidazole, Amoxicillin & Losec after 2 days on these medication my girl throat was swollen & her gums were white & top of teeth the gums were bleeding ?? What was happening? I stopped all her triple therapy meds. Vet nurse said she might be allergic to Amoxicilin? I just want to help stop her acid reflux & make her more comfortable with her Environmental skin allergies & her stomach?? She gets Cytopoint Injections these injections seem to calm her itch & then her stomach seems to be better less acid reflux but I hate her getting this Cytopoint injections every 2-3 months there has to be something else for Roxy..
My dog who I rescued in 01/2021 started having these recurring issues in 11/2022. 3 veterinarians and close to $3,000 later for exams, X-rays, blood work, etc, none of these supposedly educated vets, who have been in practice for at least 20 yrs, were able to come up with a diagnoses, not even after i showed them videos when she would have an epidose and my extensive and thorough descriptions of the symptoms. One even suggested a procedure to have my dog's lungs cleaned out. Through my extensive research, I finally concluded that she has acid reflux. So now when she would have an episode, I give her .5 mg of Pepcid AC (at night bec it's when it usually starts), empty out a capsule of Slippery Elm and mix it in with her breakfast, followed with another .5 mg of Pepcid AC with her dinner. It does the trick. Sometimes I would do the treatment regime for 1 1/2 days until I see she is feeling better. I am less and less impressed with vets after 18 years of having dogs. They are like Snake Oil salesmen. One veterinarian who was treating my dog for an eye infection (he had puss underneath his eye lids), after 2 weeks of treatment, the infection started again. This vet told me that the only way to resolve the issue is for him to remove my dog's eye lids. Yes, you read that right, and he wasn't kidding. I took my dog to an animal opthalmologist that same day and the 1st thing he did was to throw away the meds the other vet was treating my dog with. He said the meds are not correct. Unfortunately, the damage had been done. My dog from 6 yrs old until he passed away at 14 1/2, had to had 2 different eye meds, adminstered 2x/day for the rest of his life because of that idiot vet.
I am so sorry to hear this. Dang it !!! I know this is totally unrelated but my wife was seeing an ear nose and throat specialist for a couple months . They couldn't figure out her blocked ear. They set an appointment to get tubes put in.... She had a chiropractor appointment and they said get in and get an antibiotic NOW!!! You have an ear infection..... Problem was better in 2 days...... I don't get it
Agree with you. I have the same experience. I took my dog to 2 different vet neither could diagnose my baby & the second vet wanted to do the same lab & X-ray which cost so much. The meds prescribed amounted to $550.00 with the lst vet & the second cost $150.00 so l just got the rx & ordered from Chewy & only cost for me $32.00 vs &150.00. After costing me over $2,000.00 l lost trust with these vets.
I love your comment about us having to be sleuths. One of my dogs started licking her paws several years ago. Through a process of elimination I discovered that this was triggered by kefir, fermented sauerkruat, sardines and green lipped mussels, all supposed super foods. As soon as I cut these out she was fine. I now realize these are all very high histamine foods and I have recently read several articles linking high histamine foods to allergies.
I'm glad that you found it helpful! Pet parents are the most intune with their pets, and sometimes we just need a reminder that the answer is in front of us with a little investigation. I'm happy to hear that your dog is doing better!
@RusticWoods I just removed these foods from their diet. I feed a balanced diet of meat, raw meaty bones and a wide variety of organ meats. The so called super foods do not seem to be necessary for my dogs, who are both 15 years old and have been eating my homemade raw for over 13 years. In fact, I personally cannot eat fermented foods like kefir and sauerkraut because they cause digestive problems. So everyone is different.
Thank you for confirmations. I’ve been using all but kefir, which I was eventually going to add. I didn’t really notice a noticeable change until a month or so after adding green lipped mussels.
Yes! So many symptoms and I try to explain to the vet over the years and they never have any answers - just tell me that you can’t test for acid reflux when I tell them I think he may have it - they only offer me more expensive imaging on top of the labs and imaging he already has had. Thank you so much for doing this video 😭
I believe what you are saying is true. I’ve been so sad and stressed out over personal problems and then the stress of being upset over my dog having diabetes and then becoming blind made me so sad, I’ve been crying continually. I’ve been trying to sing and turn my mood around and she began licking me and I saw her having more energy. She had looked like she was going to die. She is 15 years old and I hear a lot of negative words like, well she’s old, you have to face she may be dying. But I am fighting against that. I believe she can live a healthy life as long as I can keep a positive attitude, pray and do my best for her nutrition. Thank you so much. I love your channel. I just stumbled upon it. God Bless you Dr Woodley🙏🏼♥️
Plz start putting castor oil in your dog's eyes, it might bring back the vision. I can't say for 100% it will come back but i know it reverses cataract in dogs. My neighbour's dog's vision came back after putting 1 drop of castor oil 4 times a day but make sure the oil is pure and clean and there are very very few companies that make proper pure castor oil. I am sorry to hear about your poor dog;s lost vision. Praying it comes back
My senior dog just finished a round of flagyl for blood in loose stool . Her appetite is awful right now and she’s lost weight. She’s only 4.3 pounds now . She was 5.6 . Which probiotic do you recommend? She’s a mini chi weenie. I’ve worried myself sick . I hope my worry isn’t making her worse . You make a good point that they feed off us . I actually have a constant gnawing in my stomach that’s lasted since last July . I got sympathy headaches while she was on the flagyl cuz I know how it feels to take it . Thanks so much ❤

You said, slippery almond marshmallow root add a At mucosal coating… I have some cats with chronic sinus breathing from herpes they caught at a vets Surgical visit, … But with the slippery elm and marshmallow make their mucus worse in their lungs and sinuses? I have them Marshmello over to help it, but it’s a battle right now, My cats have been learning to blow their nose;))
How many 1/2 teaspoons of slippery elm per day. Just one time or before every meal? My dog is 9-10 pounds a senior dog and has pancreatis and liver issues. He cries every night after his last meal. Can he have slippery elm more than once per day?
We have a detailed guide on GI upset and slippery elm in this blog post to help guide you further: thenaturalpetdoctor.com/metronidazole-for-dogs-cats-exploring-natural-alternatives-and-safer-options-for-diarrhea/
I’m trying to help my little dog get over a bad flare of acid reflux ( travelling up to the throat) I have him on venison green veg/ butternut squash sometimes) berries! Simple but I hope it’s effective! Do these foods seems ok to use? It’s so bad that he has to be on meds to simply start to control the acid 😢
I give my dog slippery elm twice daily and sometimes 3 times whenever he’s in pain or you see upset stomach I gave it to my dog and he’s fine. Hope he feels better. Also, which really good and works for me is glutamine which helps repairs a stomach lining. If there’s a lot of acid in there, I give it to my dog that also helps with the pain and at night CBD for the inflammation also, it’s amazing.
My 11 year old boxer baby has GERD😢, and her vet (traditional) wants to prescribe an acid blocker-Pepcid. I told her I need to think about it. I feed her Dr Harvey's Paradigm and gently cooked turkey and ground beef. She doesn't do well with chicken (causes vomiting). She also has Chronic Low Grade Pancreatitis, so I supplement with Dr Mercola's Digestive Enzymes which have helped tremendously. She used to have pancreatitis flares about once a week, but now she might have 3-4 episodes a year!! I sent in a sample of her poop to Animal Biome, and she has a dysbiosis with E-Coli. So I got the GUT RESTORE and GUT MAINTENANCE supplements and haven't started yet because I need to call them and ask questions about them. I would love to take a look at what natural remedies that she can take! Thank you, Dr Woodley, for your help!!
Thanks so much for your guidance and expertise. You know, you are a great life coach as well. True how dynamics of the home can translate into health issues. People with rescues can testify how far some TLC and calm surroundings will go. Our little guy (mini dach) has come a long way, I will always groom him as that was one of his triggers. Going to the groomer upset him terribly. I add Broad Leaf Plantain chopped very fine to his (and our) diet, it has a very healing/soothing effect on the digestion.
Thank you for your kind words. I try my best to provide guidance that can help everyone since we're all connected. Plantain is amazing and very soothing to the digestive tract. There are many other remedies we can use for this condition and gut health problems, but wanted to remind people of common ones that are pretty easy to find👍
@karenbearden6198. You add the actual plantain, green bananas, or it’s a supplement? If the actual plantain, is it in raw form? If supplement, where do you get it. Please let me know. Thanks
@@mz1860 It's spelled the same but it's not the banana type plantain, it's actually a weed and most people worldwide have it growing nearby if not in their yard. Google plantain weed for more info than I could give. Just yesterday I was bit by fire ants, I applied mashed up plantain for instant relief, it is very healing and edible.
Hi Dr katie, We have a question about feeding an underweight 19-year-old dog. After spending over $5000 in vet bills, none of the vets (4) could solve the issue. I prefer to ask you here if other people have the same problem. We are here to help, after all. You previously mentioned that during a crisis such as intestinal inflammation, severe stomach inflammation, or pancreatitis, we should avoid feeding any fiber or fat to the dog's diet. However, what if the dog has become severely underweight due to refusing to eat for an extended period? Shouldn't we be adding good fats (such as fish oil) and fiber to the meal to help them gain weight? On the other hand, if we follow your advice and avoid feeding any fat or fiber, won't the dog continue to lose weight? We are confused about how to handle underweight dogs. We have tried feeding low-fat protein such as white fish (not salmon), but while we saw a slight improvement, the weight was not increasing. We thought that adding fish oil and fiber might be the solution, but it seems to have made the situation worse. What are your thoughts on this? We appreciate your help.
I'm sorry to hear this about your 19 year-old dog. There's usually a reason that they don't want to eat and it's important to find out why that's happening. I can't give specific medical advice, since it could cause harm, but I would ask the vet to run diagnostic tests like bloodwork, ultrasound, etc to see if there is something serious going on so you'll know what you're treating.
I tried to schedule a consult but the calendar is only offering a single day. It won't let me advance to any other day past that, let alone into the next month. Just letting you know as perhaps you're seeing a drop-off in new clients, and hopefully you can fix it. I can't do the consult on the one day being offered right now, but I need help!!
Hello Katie! I am new to your channel & from 🇬🇧 my poor little dog has been suffering from bad acid reflux for 2 months it’s been the most stressful thing ever!!!! He’s now had to go on antibiotics for a bacterial infection so the AR is worse!! He’s on a fresh foods bland diet - chicken/herbs/probiotics/steamed veggies! I also believe the acid reflux is travelling up to his nasal area!! I’m at my wits end 😢 can you help at all?
Yes I do, it is number 3. with 2 recommendations on this blog post on my website. thenaturalpetdoctor.com/metronidazole-for-dogs-cats-exploring-natural-alternatives-and-safer-options-for-diarrhea/
Have you written any books? If not I really wish you would! I have the book “How Not To Die” by Micheal Greger for human health and it’s amazing but I’d love to read something from you! I think I’m going to purchase “veterinary secrets” by Andrew Jones, he seems to teach a similar holistic approach but I would love to have all this information you’re talking about written in book form! Please write a book!
Unfortunately it’s the opposite. If you go to Pubmed and search proton pump inhibitors and esophageal cancer, there are numerous studies that detail this information.
Great information, thank you for sharing. My 13 yr old cat has IBD. I really think he has acid reflux, he has all of the symptoms like noise tummy, burp, sometimes Spits up water/bile. All this is usually after he eats too. Constantly licking his lips too. I give him slippery elm bark powder (I make my own syrup), sometimes it seems to help. Is there a certain amount he should get? 7.4lbs. Also he eats rawz rabbit wet only right now only because he can't handle anything else yet, eventually ill get him on raw or cooked meat. I just switched and he seems to be doing good on this for now. I give him ginger and tumeric too. I also just ordered the gastro elm hoping that helps too. I think this acid reflux is the biggest deal right now besides his IBD. He's been on prednisolone for 3 months but I plan on getting him off that soon too. Atleast he's starting to gain weight and not puking. Another question, how much ashwagandha would be good? You recommended the SP one but do you crush it up? Thank you!
My dog has diabetes and cataracts. I’ve been trying to help her. She had taken Pepcid & slippery elm but I had also added Quercetin for her eyes to her food. I believe I over did it. She was eating Steve’s frozen dog food but now refuses to eat it, but thankfully, she is eating the dehydrated form of Steve’s raw food. She drinks a lot of water and burps and then spits up water and is in pain. I don’t know what else I can do.😢
I have been wondering if I would need to make diet changes now that my dogs are 14 and 15, however they are still doing fine on the homemade raw diet I have been feeding.
I always recommend variety for any pet, so if they are doing ok and you're rotating the different types of proteins, veggies and other foods, that's perfect👍
@thenaturalpetdoctor Yes I do try to use lots of variety and constantly looking for new ways to do that. They are small so RMB choices are more limited but recently discovered they can eat duck heads if I cut them in half. Also introduced quail. So I feel better in the RMB department.
I was told our pup has bilious vomit syndrome. After a surgery he's needed constant food in his stomach. Otherwise the acid builds up in his stomach and he throws up the bile He's been good with more frequent meals and an Omeprazole at night but would like to get him off the Omeprazole and not have to get up in the middle of the night to feed him
2 years ago he used to have vomiting every day i did raw food and good stiff now he doesnt vomit aprt from when he eats weird stuff like broom, plastic
I have a dog, lab hound mix. I adopted her in April 2021. She is originally from Turks and Caicos. She attacks her food. She was a stray on the beach. She belches, passes gas, and her stomach gurgles. She has been regurgitating frequently. 3 times in 3 days. I have been giving her pepcid but it only helps for a little while. This has been a regular thing with her from the beginning. Been to the vet many times. Slow feed bowls, changed her food several times and I am at a loss! I need help and I can't afford a GI test. She licks her lips, she hacks like something is hung up. She licks the couch cushions. I had her checked for mega esophagus- does not have. I need help with this. I just want my dog better
So I am feeding my boy, maltipoo, Open Farm Freeze dried raw topped with pumpkin powder and salmon oil from Native Pet. Do I need to add more supplements? Thank you!!!
Sorry Dr. I would pls like you to respond to my pet's issue in a writeup because you blend couple of things in the general way so much that , I find it difficult to the response to my pet's situation. Tks.
My pup has laryngeal paralysis and has had yieback surgery. She is recently experiencing acid reflux and it’s a major concern due to the potential of aspiration pneumonia. Looking for natural remedies or what I can add to her food to minimize experiences of AR
Dr Woolley, thank you so much for this information. I am an acupuncturist and herbalist and have been doing most of the things you recommended for my Yorkie. I am so relieved to get some confirmation of my approach, sometimes I feel unsure and anxious. My 15 yr Yorkie has liver issues and cannot digest fat, he is a very picky eater so meal time is extremely stressful. I have been using gut soothe from adored beast + other herbs and have great results. We are still struggling with him waking up coughing and that bilious vomit at about 3 am. this is a flare up because we dared to go on vacation for 7 day 😅. So the 3 am wake ups are taxing on the whole household I don’t know whether to feed him closer to bed or not. He has the coughing+ bile and the. Feels better and is hungry immediately. I will add the ashwaganda for everyone, aloe and chamomile to see how we do. I’m just super grateful, I shed some tears here out of relief.

Is an acid reflux, low acid in the stomach and if so, shouldn’t there be HCL and apple cider vinegar given? She raise the stomach acid is that safe I know apple cider vinegar is not sure about HCL and a humans take it HCL but I’m not sure about dogs.

Dr. Katie > I would recommend that you tell us about the GMO Pet foods, I found NULO that is supposedly Non-GMO. I would even like to order wet cat food BENEVO (vegan with Non-GMO ingredients) to mix 1/2 with the NULO. Trust me I have even cured horrible red welts all around the eyes of a 10-yr. old Kitty I rescued, just by mixing half-and-half Greek Olive Oil with filtered water by dabbing all around the eyes. I also cured this kitty Maxie with Organic cooked Oats + Non-GMO Wellness food. She thrived. This half Olive Oil & filtered water also can be a remedy for Dander that People are allergic to, and surrendering their Cats...NO just do this, and you're good for 1 whole month...as rubbing this with clean hands all over the Cat's fur, will make the Cat not spew Dander...No Dr. Katie Animals & People were created in the Garden of Eden as plant-based, after the Great Flood as all the fats & minerals with salt, removing salinity, leached into the expanding oceans. Trust me I had 15 super healthy kitties in Paris for 8 months, Cats and kittens...on a Vegetarian Non-GMO diet, they never ever smelled of Ammonia in the 2 large litter boxes I placed in the bathroom, with stacked newspapers...never had fur hair flying all over...But the French Kitties that I rescued were more likely to eat the Vegetarian fare, including french steamed beets (slivered), chickpeas, canned green beans, green peas, french "creme fraiche" something just a lot better & tastier than the American sour cream...Americans are in the dark + the Kitties here are stuffed with Flesh foods (with Toxic GMOs), which is not the original Creation diet...People + Animals....being created Plant-based Vegans...See Genesis 1:29-31, also suggested in Isaiah 11th chapter, Isaiah 65:25 and summarized in Revelation 22:2. They are killing us with these Foods...You can find me on facebook on *The Green TREE*. >>> Here a video by Mic the Vegan ua-cam.com/video/MlTlxwlplwU/v-deo.html "New Study on Vegan Diets for Cats and Dogs"
My dog looks like he isn't feeling good, he has soft stools, his stomach is slightly hard ,he has bubbles In his belly, licks his mouth a lot swallows a lot has some scaley dry spots on his belly, licks his feet a lot scratches his ears, all around very uncomfortable. He was eating yesterday but today he doesn't want to eat at all. He feels better when he lies on his back and I rub his belly. What can I do to ease my babies discomfort?

You said, slippery almond marshmallow root add a At mucosal coating… I have some cats with chronic sinus breathing from herpes they caught at a vets Surgical visit, … But with the slippery elm and marshmallow make their mucus worse in their lungs and sinuses? I have them Marshmello over to help it, but it’s a battle right now, My cats have been learning to blow their nose;))
How many 1/2 teaspoons of slippery elm per day. Just one time or before every meal? My dog is 9-10 pounds a senior dog and has pancreatis and liver issues. He cries every night after his last meal. Can he have slippery elm more than once per day?
We have a detailed guide on GI upset and slippery elm in this blog post to help guide you further: thenaturalpetdoctor.com/metronidazole-for-dogs-cats-exploring-natural-alternatives-and-safer-options-for-diarrhea/
i give my dog twice daily and also marshmellow root i also give my dog CBD
I’m trying to help my little dog get over a bad flare of acid reflux ( travelling up to the throat) I have him on venison green veg/ butternut squash sometimes) berries! Simple but I hope it’s effective! Do these foods seems ok to use? It’s so bad that he has to be on meds to simply start to control the acid 😢
I give my dog slippery elm twice daily and sometimes 3 times whenever he’s in pain or you see upset stomach I gave it to my dog and he’s fine. Hope he feels better. Also, which really good and works for me is glutamine which helps repairs a stomach lining. If there’s a lot of acid in there, I give it to my dog that also helps with the pain and at night CBD for the inflammation also, it’s amazing.
My 11 year old boxer baby has GERD😢, and her vet (traditional) wants to prescribe an acid blocker-Pepcid. I told her I need to think about it. I feed her Dr Harvey's Paradigm and gently cooked turkey and ground beef. She doesn't do well with chicken (causes vomiting). She also has Chronic Low Grade Pancreatitis, so I supplement with Dr Mercola's Digestive Enzymes which have helped tremendously. She used to have pancreatitis flares about once a week, but now she might have 3-4 episodes a year!! I sent in a sample of her poop to Animal Biome, and she has a dysbiosis with E-Coli. So I got the GUT RESTORE and GUT MAINTENANCE supplements and haven't started yet because I need to call them and ask questions about them.
I would love to take a look at what natural remedies that she can take!
Thank you, Dr Woodley, for your help!!
Have you started on the animal biome supplements ? I’m currently waiting for the results .
What brands and quantity do you recommend for ashwagandha, Slippery elm, marshmallow root, ginger and aloe vera juice ?
Thanks so much for your guidance and expertise. You know, you are a great life coach as well. True how dynamics of the home can translate into health issues. People with rescues can testify how far some TLC and calm surroundings will go. Our little guy (mini dach) has come a long way, I will always groom him as that was one of his triggers. Going to the groomer upset him terribly. I add Broad Leaf Plantain chopped very fine to his (and our) diet, it has a very healing/soothing effect on the digestion.
Thank you for your kind words. I try my best to provide guidance that can help everyone since we're all connected. Plantain is amazing and very soothing to the digestive tract. There are many other remedies we can use for this condition and gut health problems, but wanted to remind people of common ones that are pretty easy to find👍
@karenbearden6198. You add the actual plantain, green bananas, or it’s a supplement? If the actual plantain, is it in raw form? If supplement, where do you get it. Please let me know. Thanks
@@mz1860 It's spelled the same but it's not the banana type plantain, it's actually a weed and most people worldwide have it growing nearby if not in their yard. Google plantain weed for more info than I could give. Just yesterday I was bit by fire ants, I applied mashed up plantain for instant relief, it is very healing and edible.
@@mz1860 Forgot to say, I give it raw or dried, crushed, about 1 -2 leaves at a time mixed with wet food.
My dog Coko; is 11 yrs old. With just a few bites of food,starts to bloat and swell. I took him to a vet, they told me he had
My dog just got some injection for some skin issues when he started behaving somewhat unusually. Then followed by vomiting undigested food.
Hi Dr katie,
We have a question about feeding an underweight 19-year-old dog. After spending over $5000 in vet bills, none of the vets (4) could solve the issue. I prefer to ask you here if other people have the same problem. We are here to help, after all. You previously mentioned that during a crisis such as intestinal inflammation, severe stomach inflammation, or pancreatitis, we should avoid feeding any fiber or fat to the dog's diet. However, what if the dog has become severely underweight due to refusing to eat for an extended period? Shouldn't we be adding good fats (such as fish oil) and fiber to the meal to help them gain weight?
On the other hand, if we follow your advice and avoid feeding any fat or fiber, won't the dog continue to lose weight? We are confused about how to handle underweight dogs. We have tried feeding low-fat protein such as white fish (not salmon), but while we saw a slight improvement, the weight was not increasing. We thought that adding fish oil and fiber might be the solution, but it seems to have made the situation worse.
What are your thoughts on this? We appreciate your help.
I'm sorry to hear this about your 19 year-old dog. There's usually a reason that they don't want to eat and it's important to find out why that's happening. I can't give specific medical advice, since it could cause harm, but I would ask the vet to run diagnostic tests like bloodwork, ultrasound, etc to see if there is something serious going on so you'll know what you're treating.
Thank you for your reply.

Would anyone know the dosage to make a dog marshmallow root tea? Or ginger tea?
Ty ❤❤❤❤❤...
You're welcome! I'd love to hear what you found most helpful🙂
I tried to schedule a consult but the calendar is only offering a single day. It won't let me advance to any other day past that, let alone into the next month. Just letting you know as perhaps you're seeing a drop-off in new clients, and hopefully you can fix it. I can't do the consult on the one day being offered right now, but I need help!!
Hello Katie! I am new to your channel & from 🇬🇧 my poor little dog has been suffering from bad acid reflux for 2 months it’s been the most stressful thing ever!!!!
He’s now had to go on antibiotics for a bacterial infection so the AR is worse!!
He’s on a fresh foods bland diet - chicken/herbs/probiotics/steamed veggies!
I also believe the acid reflux is travelling up to his nasal area!! I’m at my wits end 😢 can you help at all?
Aloe Vera needs to be given before the dinner or can i add it to how food bowl?
Love this video! So thankful for all of your informative videos. Do you have a Slippery Elm brand that you can recommend?
Yes I do, it is number 3. with 2 recommendations on this blog post on my website. thenaturalpetdoctor.com/metronidazole-for-dogs-cats-exploring-natural-alternatives-and-safer-options-for-diarrhea/
Have you written any books? If not I really wish you would! I have the book “How Not To Die” by Micheal Greger for human health and it’s amazing but I’d love to read something from you! I think I’m going to purchase “veterinary secrets” by Andrew Jones, he seems to teach a similar holistic approach but I would love to have all this information you’re talking about written in book form! Please write a book!
I was told that long term use of PPI prevents oesophageal cancer, not cause it
Unfortunately it’s the opposite. If you go to Pubmed and search proton pump inhibitors and esophageal cancer, there are numerous studies that detail this information.
Great information, thank you for sharing. My 13 yr old cat has IBD. I really think he has acid reflux, he has all of the symptoms like noise tummy, burp, sometimes Spits up water/bile. All this is usually after he eats too. Constantly licking his lips too. I give him slippery elm bark powder (I make my own syrup), sometimes it seems to help. Is there a certain amount he should get? 7.4lbs. Also he eats rawz rabbit wet only right now only because he can't handle anything else yet, eventually ill get him on raw or cooked meat. I just switched and he seems to be doing good on this for now. I give him ginger and tumeric too. I also just ordered the gastro elm hoping that helps too. I think this acid reflux is the biggest deal right now besides his IBD. He's been on prednisolone for 3 months but I plan on getting him off that soon too. Atleast he's starting to gain weight and not puking. Another question, how much ashwagandha would be good? You recommended the SP one but do you crush it up? Thank you!
My dog has diabetes and cataracts. I’ve been trying to help her. She had taken Pepcid & slippery elm but I had also added Quercetin for her eyes to her food. I believe I over did it. She was eating Steve’s frozen dog food but now refuses to eat it, but thankfully, she is eating the dehydrated form of Steve’s raw food.
She drinks a lot of water and burps and then spits up water and is in pain. I don’t know what else I can do.😢
Please check out Castor oil for dog's cataract. You can put drops in their eyes and it reverses it.
Thank you so much! What aloe vera juice product would you recommend?
George's aloe vera juice. At minute 32 the specifics on aloe vera juice and dosing is discussed, hope this helps!
I have been wondering if I would need to make diet changes now that my dogs are 14 and 15, however they are still doing fine on the homemade raw diet I have been feeding.
I always recommend variety for any pet, so if they are doing ok and you're rotating the different types of proteins, veggies and other foods, that's perfect👍
@thenaturalpetdoctor Yes I do try to use lots of variety and constantly looking for new ways to do that. They are small so RMB choices are more limited but recently discovered they can eat duck heads if I cut them in half. Also introduced quail. So I feel better in the RMB department.
I was told our pup has bilious vomit syndrome.
After a surgery he's needed constant food in his stomach. Otherwise the acid builds up in his stomach and he throws up the bile
He's been good with more frequent meals and an Omeprazole at night but would like to get him off the Omeprazole and not have to get up in the middle of the night to feed him
2 years ago he used to have vomiting every day i did raw food and good stiff now he doesnt vomit aprt from when he eats weird stuff like broom, plastic
Can I ask a normal day of what u feed ?
What about like humans can be too low acid?
My dog has vagus episodes were she falls back and faints she’s also suffered terribly all her life with acid reflux. Can I fix both ?
I have a dog, lab hound mix. I adopted her in April 2021. She is originally from Turks and Caicos. She attacks her food. She was a stray on the beach.
She belches, passes gas, and her stomach gurgles. She has been regurgitating frequently. 3 times in 3 days.
I have been giving her pepcid but it only helps for a little while.
This has been a regular thing with her from the beginning. Been to the vet many times.
Slow feed bowls, changed her food several times and I am at a loss! I need help and I can't afford a GI test.
She licks her lips, she hacks like something is hung up. She licks the couch cushions. I had her checked for mega esophagus- does not have. I need help with this. I just want my dog better
So I am feeding my boy, maltipoo, Open Farm Freeze dried raw topped with pumpkin powder and salmon oil from Native Pet. Do I need to add more supplements? Thank you!!!
Sorry Dr. I would pls like you to respond to my pet's issue in a writeup because you blend couple of things in the general way so much that , I find it difficult to the response to my pet's situation. Tks.
My good boy has GERD and is now on low fat diet food and he’s lose weight. How can I get him to gain weight ?
My pup has laryngeal paralysis and has had yieback surgery. She is recently experiencing acid reflux and it’s a major concern due to the potential of aspiration pneumonia. Looking for natural remedies or what I can add to her food to minimize experiences of AR
I hope you found this video helpful with some of the remedies to use. Has your vet been able to help find why the acid reflux is occurring?
❤❤❤
Dr Woolley, thank you so much for this information. I am an acupuncturist and herbalist and have been doing most of the things you recommended for my Yorkie. I am so relieved to get some confirmation of my approach, sometimes I feel unsure and anxious. My 15 yr Yorkie has liver issues and cannot digest fat, he is a very picky eater so meal time is extremely stressful. I have been using gut soothe from adored beast + other herbs and have great results. We are still struggling with him waking up coughing and that bilious vomit at about 3 am. this is a flare up because we dared to go on vacation for 7 day 😅. So the 3 am wake ups are taxing on the whole household I don’t know whether to feed him closer to bed or not. He has the coughing+ bile and the. Feels better and is hungry immediately. I will add the ashwaganda for everyone, aloe and chamomile to see how we do. I’m just super grateful, I shed some tears here out of relief.
Thanks for reaching out and we're sorry your baby is going through so much. We also have a free Better Gut Health Masterclass that may be helpful too. Here's the link if you want to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/8_tIrCwjHHA/v-deo.htmlsi=HLIpt0UAYNNc4N49
Is an acid reflux, low acid in the stomach and if so, shouldn’t there be HCL and apple cider vinegar given? She raise the stomach acid is that safe I know apple cider vinegar is not sure about HCL and a humans take it HCL but I’m not sure about dogs.
Didn't work for my dogs
I hope you were able to watch the full video.

How many hours between meals should we be giving for dogs with bad acid reflux 😢
Thanks for reaching out. So we can best support you, which remedy are you referring to that Dr. Katie mentioned?
Yes she does struggle with this … swallowing
My cat throws up after she eats 😟
This is really common with cats who have a gut health issue. Make sure to watch our other video on how to improve gut health: ua-cam.com/video/59dxcBm6yH8/v-deo.html
Mine won’t eat-when she does eat she does burp-
But she eats like every 3 days-
She doesn’t vomit-she has firm stool-
She’s only 8lbs
I thought Aloe is toxic for cats?
Aloe is perfectly safe for cats 👍
Question..if my dogs eat 3 times a days I have to give 3 times a days mashmellow?
How much of camomile tea for a 16 lb dog ?
Dr. Katie > I would recommend that you tell us about the GMO Pet foods, I found NULO that is supposedly Non-GMO. I would even like to order wet cat food BENEVO (vegan with Non-GMO ingredients) to mix 1/2 with the NULO. Trust me I have even cured horrible red welts all around the eyes of a 10-yr. old Kitty I rescued, just by mixing half-and-half Greek Olive Oil with filtered water by dabbing all around the eyes. I also cured this kitty Maxie with Organic cooked Oats + Non-GMO Wellness food. She thrived.
This half Olive Oil & filtered water also can be a remedy for Dander that People are allergic to, and surrendering their Cats...NO just do this, and you're good for 1 whole month...as rubbing this with clean hands all over the Cat's fur, will make the Cat not spew Dander...No Dr. Katie Animals & People were created in the Garden of Eden as plant-based, after the Great Flood as all the fats & minerals with salt, removing salinity, leached into the expanding oceans. Trust me I had 15 super healthy kitties in Paris for 8 months, Cats and kittens...on a Vegetarian Non-GMO diet, they never ever smelled of Ammonia in the 2 large litter boxes I placed in the bathroom, with stacked newspapers...never had fur hair flying all over...But the French Kitties that I rescued were more likely to eat the Vegetarian fare, including french steamed beets (slivered), chickpeas, canned green beans, green peas, french "creme fraiche" something just a lot better & tastier than the American sour cream...Americans are in the dark + the Kitties here are stuffed with Flesh foods (with Toxic GMOs), which is not the original Creation diet...People + Animals....being created Plant-based Vegans...See Genesis 1:29-31, also suggested in Isaiah 11th chapter, Isaiah 65:25 and summarized in Revelation 22:2. They are killing us with these Foods...You can find me on facebook on *The Green TREE*. >>> Here a video by Mic the Vegan ua-cam.com/video/MlTlxwlplwU/v-deo.html
"New Study on Vegan Diets for Cats and Dogs"
Presently you can hear some groaming sund come out of his throat.
Swallowing and swallowing and having hard to breathe in
Thank💚You🪽🙏
Are you just talking about dogs???
She's talking about both dogs and cats.
My dog looks like he isn't feeling good, he has soft stools, his stomach is slightly hard ,he has bubbles In his belly, licks his mouth a lot swallows a lot has some scaley dry spots on his belly, licks his feet a lot scratches his ears, all around very uncomfortable. He was eating yesterday but today he doesn't want to eat at all. He feels better when he lies on his back and I rub his belly. What can I do to ease my babies discomfort?
Can I use fresh aloe from my garden ?🪴 teaspoon in the food?
