Is it really that healthy to have a dog or cat on a raw food diet? That would not be healthy for us humans and we would get sick, and it sounds so gross eating raw meats. I know this sounds dumb because thats what wild animals eat after they hunt an animal, but wouldn’t a tamed animal not be interested in eating raw meats, or do they still have the hunting instinct? They are usually dependend on us humans to give them the food they need. Confused…..

It is great to have some good company online as a resource for holistic pet care - very impressive site Dr. Lord!
Another great resource we use all of the time when we don’t feel like jumping online is Dr. Richard Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats (can find at any good book store or several online bookstores). It’s a great reference for almost any pet care issue.
Best in health,
Jeff

Dear Dr. Lord,
Our 9 year old yellow lab has been diagnosed with idiopathic chylous effusion. Any suggestions on how to treat with Eastern Medicine? We’ve been giving her 2000 mg of Rutin/day for over a month and have seen no improvement. The western medicine vet has aspirated fluid twice (about one month apart). The second time it was almost 1 liter. The vet is suggesting a heart catherization and a CT scan. Are there less invasive and less expensive diagnostic tools? They have already performed an X-ray and an ultrasound, blood titer and aspirate fluid analyses.
Prior to 6 months ago she was a very healthy and happy dog. She hasn’t lost her appetite but she tires very easily. She has gained weight over the last year and we are gradually cutting back on her intake to reduce her weight.
