Leighton urnalysis - Stone/Crystal Free within 3 months

Just wanted to let you know that Leighton had his 3 month urinalysis and it came back, no crystals, no potassium problems. All is well, thanks to Urinary Free the Flow Basic. Oh one question, should I continue to keep him on this now that everything has cleared up. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Pawhealer response: Finish up the Urinary Free The Flow which dissolves crystals that would be present and begin to transition to Stonezyme which will prevent crystals from forming in the future. Here is the Link: Stonezyme

Spanky from PA doing better with Bladder Stone formula: Urinary Free The Flow

Spanky's Mom from Pennsylvania writes in to say: Spanky has been on Urinary Free the Flow since June 17. He is starting his 3rd bottle and takes 1/2 teaspoon 2x a day. He is doing much better peeing. Should he need anything else after he finishes his 3rd bottle of Free the Flow? 

Pawhealer response: If you have determined that the stones and crystals are gone then we should switch to Stonezyme. If they are still there continue another 3 months with Urinary Free The Flow and  retest at the end of that  cycle.

Here is the LINK for Stonezyme:

Shaman; How Can We Help You?



From: Rhonda
Date: 2/26/2008 7:51:41 AM
To: PawHealer

Maybe you can help me with Shaman's problems. Shaman is a 14 yr old Shih Tzu who had prednisone for one week and developed demodex (commonly called red mange, a follicular parasitic mite infestation. The original infection was horrific. Shaman can never take prednisone again. The original infestation cleared up mostly, however Shaman has had an infected toe for 1 1/2 years that is red and hot and sometimes oozy because he licks and licks. We go to the dermatologist constantly and she has prescribed a zillion different antibiotics (when she cultures bacteria its a sure sign he has become resistant to that type of antibiotic.) Anyway, the monthly cultures indicate maybe one or two mites...they are insanely itchy so he is at his paw all the time. This causes other problems with the toe.... in fact, not that either one of us likes this, Shaman now takes interceptor (poison) every other day because the mites never really completely clear up. So, this means to me that his immune system is compromised. Shaman also has a horrible bony growth getting larger and larger emanating from his right front paw dew claw. He's constantly licking this paw also. He licks both raw and bloody....And from all the licking (?) he seems to have crusty, scabby stuff around his mouth. This does not heal up. We've tried a zillion different medications. Nothing is really working. I'm not opting for surgery for the dew claw problem because of his age and the dangers of anesthesia. Any ideas? Need any more info?


Okay, so what we have here is some definite Damp Heat heat at the skin level along with Blood level Heat.

Damp Heat skin related problems are associated with dermatitis, eczema, skin rashes, itching, ear itching, and hot spots.

Clinical Signs include skin eruptions, erosions, redness, thick/yellow smelly secretions, itching, scab formations as well as possible hair loss.

Clearly we can see from Rhona's description that Shaman has Damp Heat. The PawHealer team instructed Rhonda to review Shaman's diet....and she did admit that this little scamp shares her food!

Oh no said the PawHealer team!

This is such a hard thing for pet owners, especially when the pet is in "The Golden Years"...we want them to be happy.

But...none the less the following is critical for recovery;

Food Therapy; Which is so very important. Dr. Steve Marsden, a well known holistic DVM states that when a pet is subjected to Damp Heat which is the root cause of the skin condition, in most instances, will be related to a diet that has been rich in grains. It's his suggestion that the pet be immediately taken off the grains because they that are toxic to the pet's digestion.

Lets move on the the Mange part of the skin problems. Mange is a autoimmune-mediated disease. In other words, Shaman has a weak immune system, and as a consequence, those little mites, which are part of the disease, dig into his skin, then causing that constant intense itch.

Chinese medicine would say that Shaman's Wei Qi is very weak, along with the fact that he has a condition of Blood Heat. The conditions that are associated with Blood Level Heat are lupus (DLE), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pemphigus folicaceus, and other autoimmune-mediated diseases.

Symptoms that are associated with Blood Heat are depigmentation, crusting, erythema, ulceration of the skin and erosions.

We are going to make a special formula for Shaman that will Clear Blood level Heat, clear Damp Heat at the skin level, and transform internal middle Jiao Dampness.

We are also thinking about putting something into the formula to tonify the Wei Qi.

Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I will also be posting a menu for Rhonda and Shaman!

Good luck Shaman you handsome fellow.

This Doxie Has An Itch!

Dear Pinky and Pawhealer;


OK Anne Oaklee is a 7 year old sable/fawn 14# stocky dachshund.

Annes trouble began this summer we live in northeast Iowa she broke out fur sticking up flacky spots and lossing fur. We tought that it could be heartguard, she really broke out after getting it.

She was doing well untill we bought a new frig and DH was cleaning with some orange cleaner & pinesol (I do not use it unless I have to) and she broke out again.

Stomach problems began last January Vet put her on S/D sensitive Stomach, she also gets boiled Burger & Rice at night.

We had a big problem with glands even thought about having them removed we had to get them cleaned every 2 weeks that has not been a problem for awhile.

Anne sometimes likes cover and sometimes not. Her fur is on the coarser side and no dandruff unless she breaks out.

None of our neighbors spray and we bag our yard every time.

Anne does lick her front feet up to her arm pit. but there is no fur missing.

Pinky's response to Anne's mom is that the diet is everything. We suggested that she put Annie on the elimination diet and see if that helps reduce the itching.

Anne has a condition of Wind (itching), which because the Wei Qi (immune system) is weak as a result of poor digestion, Heat Evils are able to penetrate the superficial level, her skin.

Anne also has something called Damp Heat. This is indicated by the problems with the Anal Glands as well as her constantly licking her front paws and legs. The reason Anne is doing that is because her body actually is generating internal dampness, which leads to heat.

Our suggested treatment for Anne is to Dispel Wind (itching), clear heat, build the blood (immune system) and tonify the Spleen (work on her digestion)
