Saying Good Bye....From Colleen

Jeff (this is his link) is struggling....Colleen tells the PawHealer team that his girth has grown to 29 inches.

We suggested that she double the dose of the herbal formula we sent as a last resort. This formula is what they use on people for severe ascities. Dr. Pink and I have our toes, tails and fingers crossed.

Colleen also sent the pawhealer team this story, and since we just lost or wonderful family member Orbit....it made us feel a little better. Here it is;

"I have no way to know who sent it, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month.The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:"

Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her. You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.Love, Meredith.

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, "When a Pet Dies." Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:

"Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven..Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love. Love, God"

Update on Mugsey

FormulaDr. Pink Pinkerton (the handsome fellow up on the header) and I did our usual follow up on our patients....we received this from Mugsey.

We told Lisa, Mugsey's person, that she needs to increase the dosage. If Mugsey is doing better with only one dose a day....wowser says Dr. Pink Pinkerton...he'll be healed completely if Lisa gets this into him three solid times a day.

We'll keep you posted

HI,

Thanks for asking, I think he is better, some days he seems to be laboring in his breathing but others he seems ok. I still use 1 gram in his food per day. But I haven’t needed to give him any other meds other than an asprin from time to time.

Dixie's Giant Baseball Lump!

Dr. Pink Pinkerton (that handsome fellow on the header of the blog, and herbalist extraordinaries) received a chat on line from Jan, Dixie's person.

She was asking if our formula Dissolve All Over would help with a softball size Lipoma that Dixie had and which was located on her hind quarter.

That's a pretty big Lipoma. Of course you never know in a situation like this, but in my opinion I would of tried anything. Surgery should be the last resort. Because the key with this type of thing is to get to the "root" and to try to stop what is causing it to form.

Lipomas are an inflammation, plain and simple. Surgery can't cut out a system problem such as this.

Anyway, the good news is that Dixie feels better!

Holly,

I spoke to you about a week ago about our 10 year old sheltie, Dixie. She is improving daily on your herbs. We know that it is early to tell, but both Jim and I have massaged the lipoma and it is much less tight and hot.

We made capsules out of the herbs and it makes it easier to give to her with cheese. We are so delighted and so HOPEFUL. She is better than she has been for six months. YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Wish you lived here.

You talked with Jim the other day and are fixing up some herbs for him.

I am currently on Amlodipine/Benazepril 10/20 mgs daily for high blood pressure and Estradiol 1 mg daily. Any suggestions for me. If I were to switch to herbs, how do I go about it?

Both Jim and I are body builders and are not overweight and try to eat sensibly.

You are wonderful. Thank you for your help.

Holly, it is with a very heavy heart that I tell you that Chandalar passed today. Her heart suddenly made her so sick that she was suffering too much. Needless to say, I'm a wreck but I couldn't let her continue to be so sick and suffer anymore.
Thank you again for all your interest and concern.

It took Dr. Pink time to put this up because we feel so sad about Chandalar. Jodie did everything she could to save the beautiful girl...

Good Bye Sweet Girl.....I hope your taking care of my Sweet Orbit, I lost him last week. Please look him up okay? The PawHealer family misses him, please tell him that.

Jeff's Progress...Thursday April 17th

Dr. Pink and I (the handsome fellow in the header) received this update about Jeff today. (read about Jeff) Yesterday we had increased his dosage of Zhen Wu Tang to a full scoop in the morning and at the night. It had an impact...Or should we say, a depact?

Because Jeff has diarrhea, we are asking that he stop the herbs until things harden back up and then we start again, with a reduced amount.

Jeff has a huge amount of accumulation around the middle, his girth is at whopping 28 inches. This is from the ascities due to congestive heart failure. It is our treatment goal to reduce this so that Jeff can breath easier.

Here is Colleen's daily report to the PawHealer team;

Good morning Holly & Dr. Pink,

I switched the Z remedy to 1 full scoop last evening. Jeff only had cooked turkey throughout the day, and a couple of baby-food meat stix (like little hot dogs, but without the fillers, etc.) as a treat for taking his remedies.

Around 10:30 last night he was just settling in and I gave him some water. He lapped it right up, and completely, but then got down from the bed and asked to go outside. He immediately puked up the water, had diarrhea and peed before coming back in. He woke up in the night to go outside to pee and had diarrhea each time. He started around midnight, then again at approximately 2:30, and 4:00, approximately. Then he slept right through until around 7:30, when I took him out again, and he just peed.

When I gave him his morning remedy (W), he "escaped" to the back bedroom to hide from me. (I can just hear him in my head, 'you'll never catch me for the next dose!')

He also had a bout of diarrhea in the back of the house (inside) while we were out earlier, around dinnertime, which I know was really tough for him because he never, never goes in the house. I had given him the increased (Z) remedy about 20 minutes before we had to leave. I regret that we did not wait to do this until after our return, but we were going to be gone until around 9 pm.

My concerns (beyond his hopeful improvement) also relate to our varying schedules. I don't want to limit the amount of times I can give him the two remedies because of the fact that no one will be home to let him out if he has to go. I'm doing my best to keep it as regular as possible, but we have missed a dose or two. I've gotten the hang of the dropper and keep it as calm and swift as I can, given his resistance. Between my husband, son and me, we are able to keep an eye on him most of the day and night, but there are periods of time when no one can be there for a few hours.

Girth measurement remains at 28" today.

I am currently keeping an eye on his water intake and his desire to drink water. I think I am seeing a decreased volume overall, but I'll have to watch a little longer to be sure.

Meet Jeff....Working to Improve His Heart

Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I received a request from Jeff's person Colleen. Poor Jeff has congestive heart failure and it's causing Jeff to have ascities, which is water retention withing the abdomen.

Ascites is excess fluid in the space between the tissues lining the abdomen and abdominal organs (the peritoneal cavity).

Colleen (Jeff's person) whats Jeff to be more comfortable because he has been miserable. The main symptom of course is the very hard and rounded stomach due to this water accumulation.

The other symptom that Colleen wanted to address is that Jeff constantly has to pee. Also he has no stamina and gets tired very easily.

Dr. Pink Pinkerton, the herbalist extraordinarie, where very happy to work with Colleen and Jeff.

Our Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis is Heart , Kidney and Spleen Yang vacuity with water flooding pattern.

This called for the treatment principle to fortify the Spleen and warm the Kidneys, free the flow of Yang and disinhibit water.

We used the formulas Zhen Wu Tang (True Warrior Decoction ) and Wu Ling San in order to accomplish these goal.

Coleen is wonderful about giving the Dr. Pink Pinkerton and The Pawhealer updates, we will continue to post them as we receive them.

Max The Cat.....No More Loose Stools

Dr. Pink Pinkerton, although he is a dog, does want all of his patients to have a happy herbal outcome.

So none the less, although Max the cat is indeed a cat, Dr. Pink and I checked in on Max to see how his loose still situation was going.

Happy to report that Max has now solid stools...

Good Job Max The Cat!


Hi Holly,

I got your message, not sure why your email to me bounced. Maxx is doing well and the powder has very much helped "solidify" things. I'm happy to have it handy because this happens to him whenever he gets stressed, and he's the nervous sort.

Thanks for checking in!

Sheryl
