Update on Sherlock! She's Beating Her Lymes Disease...

Dr. Pink Pinkerton would like to bring the blog up to date....he is please as punch to receive this update from Wendy (Sherlock's person). The proof is in the lab test says Dr. Pinky Pinkerton, herbalist extraordinarie.

Here is Sherlock's link for those people who want to read her story! Dr. Pinky Pinkerton is strutting his stuff...Thanks for the update Wendy!


Good news on Sherlock's liver enzymes. They've decreased to just over 600 (from 800-900). He said her count is not "normal" (usually normal is around 120 or so), but that it has decreased enough that he doesn't need to see her again until August unless she becomes ill again. He also told me that her count this time was even better than her count last December (and that was before she got so sick this spring).

So, I still have about 1/4 bottles left of the liver enzymes and Lyme's Disease medicine. Her tail doesn't droop so much---it droops every once in a while now instead of all the time. Her endurance still isn't 100% as I mentioned in my last email, but improving. She's is only "trotting" in our walks and still hasn't been real good at running yet. She still has a runny nose, but not "dripping" as badly. Her BMs have become more dry and come in many small droppings instead of more solid, longer BMs. I'm not sure if that's due to the medicine or new dog food I put her on which has a little clay in it to suck the yucky stuff off the lining of her gut--could be a change occurring in her gut with the new dog food???? Her fur still appears a little dry than what I'm use to seeing on her. What do you want me to do, Holly?

Thanks for helping my pooch and her liver!!!!!

Subject: question on Lyme's

My 12-year-old dog has had Lyme's for about 2 years now. The vet has her on milk thistle. Her liver enzymes are very, very high right now. She has weakness in her back legs and many other symptoms from Lyme's. Do you have any recommendations for this?

Thanks,

Wendy Eaton, Indiana

I think I still feel a little heat in the hips, but not as much as before. She still is sleeping quite a bit, especially if I just have taken her on a longer walk. Also when walking her, she still fatigues but not as badly. Sometimes she just lays in her bed with her eyes open . . . kind of like she just doesn't feel well. I haven't noticed any chills lately or shivers. I have, on occasion, touched her head and it feels like she has a temperature, but her nose is nice and moist and black (not dry). She still has a running nose. Sometimes it's dripping (seems more than usual). Her breathing is still loud at times when she is falling asleep and when sleeping. I haven't heard any phlegm noise, but I haven't taken my stethoscope to her lungs either. One change I have noticed since I put her on the herbs is how she holds her tail . . . it's like she has a hard time holding it up. It seems like it's too heavy to hold up or limp. She has NOT wet the bed since I've put her on the herbs. Overall, I think she has improved in her back leg strength by about 50%. She still seems weak at times and looks like she doesn't feel well. But, I just started her on the liver enzyme herbs. Maybe that will make a difference within the next week or so. She also is still very "clingy" to me at times--like she wants to be near me because she's not feeling well (if you know what I mean?).

Let me know what you think or want me to do. Thank you so much. Wendy

Dr. Pink's Update On Robin

Dr. Pink Pinkerton, herbalist extraordinaries, received this update from Robin yesterday. She tells him that she is back in the swing of things, although she is carrying some extra baggage!

Dr. Pink remembers when Robin could barely get up because of the residual effects of Lyme's disease. Viki who is Robin's person has been so wonderful, such a great dog mom.

Dr. Pink Pinkerton salutes Vicki for her care of the very sick Robin who is on her way to recovery.

Great News!



Last night we finally got good enough weather to start holding our outdoor agility classes. Robin participated in her class for the first time in 2 YEARS!!!!!! She is still heavy, but if she continues to improve and move more, she may get back to competitive weight yet.



I took her to my craniosacral therapist this Monday. We tried doing an Ionic footbath with Robin and got LOTS of ugly stuff out the bottom of her feet. I continue to soak her in Epsom salts at home when she seems to be in need of releasing toxins.



Just thought you’d like to know. We are on maybe the 4th day of her new powders.





Thanks,

Vicki and Robin

Meet Robin...Fighing Lyme Disease...


Wow....Dr.. Pink Pinkerton was bowled over by the beauty of this Ms. Robin. She's a looker he tells me!

But sadly Dr. Pink Pinkerton has been working with Vicki, Robin's person, in order to help this beauty recover from a tick bite that caused her to become ill with Lyme's disease from those damn tick bites.

Errrrrr,,,,,,damn those ticks says Dr. Pink Pinkerton.

The Pawhealer Team is getting ready to send out the second batch of herbs to Vicki....we conferred with experts in the field and they felt that we should layer our herbs with more exterior heat clearing herbs.

We are doing a blend of xiao chai hu tang modified with some herbal antibiotics. Dr Pink wants his readers to understand that Lyme's disease is one that lies half on the interior of Robin's body and half on the exterior. It is Dr. Pink's job to help Robin push that evil heat pathogen out of Robin's body so that she can recover more swiftly.

Dr. Pink also has provided a formula called sheng ling bai zhu san and wei ling san to help with Robin's digestive issues, which are water retention and weight gain.





Hi Holly,

I wanted to update you on how it is going with Robin. I upped her dosage of the powder to a large teaspoon twice a day. She is tolerating it well in the congee, but since I feed small amounts of her food due to her weight issue, I don’t want to make her food almost totally medicine and no actual food. She has improved in general but starting yesterday and this morning she is back to licking herself and her eyes are really irritated and weeping. She also has a lameness in her right front that seems to come and go. Earlier this year after we had been out snowshoeing with the dogs she developed a sore right front. After watching it for several days she suddenly got very ill with a high fever and her foot started swelling. The vet determined that she had stepped on something and gotten a bacterial infection through her foot. We treated her with anti-biotics and it went away but now and then recurs as a lameness there. She is getting to the last 1/3 or so of her bottle of powder so I am wondering where we go from here with the symptoms we have and if I should stay with the amount of powder she is getting or should raise or lower the dosage. I guess I was not clear on whether to be giving her 1 teaspoon twice a day for a total of 2 a day or more than that. Since she had trouble tolerating it in the beginning, my approach has been conservative. She has been through so much in the last two years.



So---do we try a different formula with the symptoms she is presenting now or stay with what we are doing? Do you have any ideas for the lameness and the body inflammation in the mucus membranes causing the vaginal itch and eye inflammation?



Thanks for your help!

Vicki and Robin
