Prevent biting Dog

Dogs and children – prevent biting accidents

A family dog ​​is a wonderful thing.

Children who are allowed to grow up with dogs are usually outside a lot, running and romping,

learn to be considerate and the immune system also benefits.

As a parent, you have to take responsibility from the start and pay close attention to

how the children deal with the dog, what they are allowed to do (actually nothing at all…)

and that the dog definitely has the opportunity to withdraw.

The children must not harass the dog, no matter how cute they think it is.

From the dog’s point of view, many things that children do to them are wrong.

This includes, for example, taking away toys, throwing oneself at the dog, wanting to ride or chase it and much more.

Children shouldn’t educate dogs either, the upbringing is the responsibility of the adults.

Depending on temperament and patience, the dog will eventually clearly show its limits.

To avoid biting accidents, I recommend the following:

– train the dog with a lot of trust, respect and love right from the start

– to teach the children how to handle the dog properly

– especially to set boundaries for the children

– to attend the wonderful children’s dog course from www.gaby-abels.de,

if you live in Hamburg or nearby

– or of course any other dog-kids course

– “Der blaue Hund” as a book, CD or app

This is a dog bite prevention project that shows children with their parents

how to handle your own dog safely.

The bored dog – we should change that

Always the same park, always the same dog lap, always the same dogs, always the

same time for a dog walk, always the same feed.

This constant routine can be immensely boring for our dogs and they run listlessly

next to or behind us.

In most cases we get it wrong and often even assume that it is simply because

he is getting older.

How nice would it be, if you could change that.

Have a look whether:

– you always discover new ways to go for a walk with your dog

– maybe you can go to times

– your dog has enough brain work

– your dog really enjoys being with you

Dogs not only want to run, they also need brain work.

If you haven’t already done that, dummy training or target object search (ZOS training)

might be an idea.

Look for treats in the leaves or teach your dog funny commands –

such as jumping on tree stumps to take “photos”.

And of course there are still thousands of ideas …

Bringing variety into the dog feed and little surprise will make your dog even happier.

Your dog will be thankful if you are attentive to him, he will be attentive to you as well

and you will have a happy, even-tempered dog.

Junghund-Pyodermie

Young dog – pimples and pustules – young dog acne

Is your dog between 3 months and 1 year old?

Does he have pimples, pustules, crusts on his chin, muzzle, armpit, chest, stomach or or or?

In most cases it is then young dog acne.

This, also known as pyoderma, is a bacterial skin inflammation.

It is comparable to the puberty pimples of adolescents.

The following symptoms are possible:

– pimples

– pustules

– crusts

– Hair loss … on the chin, muzzle, armpits, chest, stomach

Causes can be:

– hormonal changes

– nutritional deficiency

– inheritance

– disturbed immune system (by vaccinations, deworming, antibiosis, chemical flea- and

tick ​​prophylaxis)

It is important to have a differential diagnostic check that it is not a mite

or other parasites or an allergic contact reaction.

Treatment

– build up the immune system

– build up Intestinal flora

– supply of vital substances

– In addition, special nutrient supply for the skin and fur

– good nutrition, if possible organic

– Stress reduction

– External treatment e.g. with cistus tea, propolis, calendula, Calapo Skin Balm, Belavet,

  Aloe vera

First of all, the immune system should be brought back into balance.

The immune system gets out of balance due to vaccinations, deworming, antibiosis, chemical flea- and tick ​​prophylaxis, other medications.

Please be careful that the dog does not lick the affected areas.

If your dog is severely affected, please always consult a veterinarian.

If the immune system is back in balance, the acne usually heals quickly.

It is important to have all remedies and nutrition tested individually for your animal – this works wonderfully with tensor, kinesiology or bioresonance.

Get well soon.

Ohrhämatom

Dog – ear hematoma

An ear hematoma is a hematoma on the dog’s ear.

There are different reasons for an ear hematoma:

– ear disease

– ear infection

– the itching causes the dog to scratch its ear, shake its head

– Injuries to the ear

– more often in dog breeds with drooping ears

The dog’s ear is swollen, different and therefore uncomfortable for the dog.

Most of the time, the dog keeps scratching, shaking its head and holding it crooked,

so it keeps getting worse.

It is important to eliminate the cause.

If he has an ear infection, please have it checked by the vet, as this could also go very deep.

The ears should be checked regularly and cleaned if necessary.

In most cases, it is enough to wipe them off with a cotton pad.

Remedies must be given only in more severe cases.

The vet would puncture the ear, insert tubes and, if that is not enough, will operate.

I have had the best experience doing the following:

– Heparin ointment – apply it to the ear every day so that the bruise dissolves

– Arnica Globuli – daily in changing potencies (best to test each individually)

– tie up the ear (either with a bandage or ear protection from a specialist shop)

If the blood ear is treated in this way every day, it will in most cases be healthy again in 2 – 4 weeks.

Bitch – false pregnancy

Many bitches are false pregnant after the heat.

The false pregnancy occurs between 3 – 12 weeks after the heat and can

take several weeks, it varies from dog to dog.

False pregnancy is not a disease.

Possible symptoms:

– Nest building behavior

– milk flow

– Swelling of the teats – with reddening

– skin problems

– loss of energy

– not hungry

– Cramps like in labor

– Changes in personality, character and behavior

– doesn´t want to be alone

– whine, cry

– need a lot of attention

– are very affectionate

– restless, irritable

– obsessed with their toys

– Aggression when someone tries to take their toys away

– the toy is the puppy substitute

The hormone level after heat is very similar to that of pregnant bitches,

this can lead to false pregnancy.

In addition to the possible changes in behavior, the following diseases could also be triggered by the false pregnancy:

– Inflammation of the teats due to strong licking of the teats

– Inflammation of the breasts due to blocked milk

– ovarian cysts

– ulcerations of the uterus

– mammary tumors

Depending on the symptom of false pregnancy, you can use the right naturopathic remedies

choose to support the bitch.

These include the homeopathic remedies Pulsatilla, Ignatia, Phytolacca, Silicea and Sulphur for skin problems.

You can also give your dog other thoughts with walks, games and tricks.

Again and again it is advised to remove toys. In my experience, bitches are much more relaxed when you let them.

Should the false pregnancy lead to severe symptoms or consequences, it should definitely

a veterinarian should be consulted.

“He’s already old” – that’s not always true – there can be many other reasons

We all are getting older.

Our animals feel the same way, only much faster because of their shorter lifespan.

We usually only see their pain and complaints when the animals can no longer help themselves,

they put away so much, surrender to their fate, accept and somehow carry on.

For this reason, it is important to look carefully.

Sometimes it’s just not what we think it is.

The dog suddenly slows down, can no longer jump into the car, just trots along listlessly while walking or or or …

We think, oh, he’s getting old and just take it.

Often, however, there are completely different causes behind it, such as an hypothyroidism, claws that are too long, diabetes, Addison’s disease …

And once these causes have been identified and treated, the “old” dog is much livelier again.

This means that the dog needs more attention as it ages.

Especially when something changes in his agility, his temperament or his behavior, you should react immediately and have everything checked.

A blood check and a detailed examination are the basic requirements.

If there is then an exact diagnosis, you should check carefully whether conventional medical support is sufficient or whether the dog needs additional physiotherapy or naturopathic support.

Epulids Hund

Epulids – bioreosonance according to the BNR-method

Epulids are benign growths in a dog’s mouth.

Epulids can occur in all dogs.

Epulids can have different shapes, mushroom or stem, round, uneven or smooth.

There are basically two types:

– fibromatous (made of soft tissue)

– ossifying (containing bones)

– but there are also mixed forms

Bad breath and weight loss can be symptoms.

If your dog is obviously in pain when eating, you should definitely

have the mouth examined.

The veterinarian will first clarify whether they are benign epulids

and probably want to surgically remove them.

It is not always necessary to operate immediately.

With natural remedies I have the best experience with CDS / CDL diluted in water

and dab the epulids 3 times a day.

Since the epulids can come back, the treatment should be supported by naturopathy, this includes building up intestinal flora, supplying vital substances and detoxification.

What your dog needs to get back in its balance, to build up the immune system and the body environment, is best tested individually.

The bioresonance analysis is suitable for individual tests – most individually according to the BNR- method, tensor, pendulum or kinesiology.

Luke, dog – motion sickness & bioresonance

Luke is a 2 year old mixed breed dog.

Whenever he gets into the car, he first gets restless and salivating, then lies down completely still

and motionless.

Sometimes he vomits while driving.

First and foremost, it is important to find out the cause of motion sickness, the so-called kinetosis.

The unfamiliar movements lead to contradictory signals from the eyes, organs of equilibrium,

receptors of the joints to the brainstem.

The brain produces an error signal that triggers the symptoms.

Organic causes could be excluded for Luke.

Some dogs are scared because they didn´t learn „driving“ as a puppy or they have made traumatic experiences.

For many dogs, the “new” life begins with separation from the family and

transport in the car to an unknown place, with unknown people.

Who would not be afraid?

So if you pick up your dog by car, take someone else to drive and you at best sit next to your dog,

so he can feel close and safe and there is no need to be afraid.

Another point are the transport boxes.

The dog must of course be safely placed in the car.

Most dogs feel better when they can look out, that is not the case with most boxes.

So, if possible, allow your dog to watch.

Often the motion sickness can be prevented, if one has a clear view of the immobile horizon.

Some dogs also get problems after a certain time in the car.

It is important that driving ist transformed into something positive and

pleasing through appropriate actions.

Luke was not afraid to approach the car and jump in.

He was sick after a certain distance.

This nausea stopped pretty soon after getting out.

During the conversation with the owners, we found out that the driven route is very winding.

With the bioresonance I have tested that Cocculus is the perfect homeopathic remedy for Luke.

After Luke did not have to worry anymore about the possible coming nausea, he was getting used to driving again, step by step.

An additional positive link we have created with it, was a big walk after every drive.

All this is no longer necessary and Luke can ride without problems.

Here are a few naturopathic remedies against motion sickness:

– Nux Vomica

(Nervousness, irritability, panting, whining, vomiting – even when the stomach is empty)

– Cocculus

(Exhaustion, nausea, dizziness, lying down, motionless. Quick recovery when getting out.

Important remedy for puppies.)

-Tabacum

(Cold, paleness, trembling, big nausea)

-Petroleum

(Nausea, vomiting, but nevertheless the dog eats)

– ginger

(gives grip and relieves dizziness and nausea)

Fur discoloration dogs & cats – Bioresonance

The bright white fur turns into a red-brown-yellow over time.

Why does the fur, the pigments or the drawing change?

Color changes for puppies / kitten are normal, since the pigmentation and drawing is not completed till they are grown up.

A good example for this is are Dalmatians, whose spots develop after 2-3 weeks.

Brownish discoloration in adult animals on the eyelids, snout, ears, paws, is what most owners worry about.

There are many different reasons for this.

Porphyine

Discoloration can be caused by porphyrins.

Porphyrins are red blood cell degradation products that are found in all body fluids,

as in saliva and tears.

Such discolorations can thus arise by licking the rest of the fur.

Copper deficiency

Copper deficiency can be caused by malnutrition, as well as disturbed intestinal symbiosis or too much zinc, which can affect the absorption of nutrients.

In case of a copper deficiency, however, other symptoms, such as anemia and diminished efficiency occur.

Hormonal diseases

Endoparasites

Ectoparasites

Chronic digestive disorders

Skin metabolic disorders

Altered or slowed metabolic processes through age

It is important in all cases to rebalance and support the metabolism of the skin and thus the regeneration of the fur.
