Ear rim necrosis

Carou, Dog – Ear rim necrosis

Carou is a 3-year-old male Wiener.
The rim of his left ear was bleeding and had been tearing repeatedly for weeks.
The medication of the treating veterinarian brought no improvement.

Ear rim necrosis is a skin disease.
The edges of the ears dry out, tear and bleed.
Ulcer-like thickening and crusts develop that are difficult to heal.
Scratching or shaking causes the scabs to tear open and bleed again.
As the disease progresses, the affected tissue dies.
Indented, uneven ear rims occur.

Short-haired dogs with thin, slightly hairy ears are more likely to be affected by this condition.

The ear edge necrosis is based on a malfunction of the immune system and thus changes
the blood vessels at the edge of the ear.

Causes can be
- derailed immune system (e.g. due to vaccinations, deworming, disturbed intestinal symbiosis, stress)
- Nutrient deficiency in growth
- Zinc deficiency
- heredity
- mite infestation
- toxins
- contaminated feed
- Leishmaniasis and also vaccination against leishmaniasis

Therapies
- Build up intestinal flora
- Build immune system
- Detox
- if the dog has been vaccinated against leishmansiosis, eliminate the vaccination(s).
- External treatment of the affected areas


The medication of the treating veterinarian brought no improvement.
In the patient-owner conversation, it quickly became clear that the spots on the ear began shortly after the leishmaniasis vaccination.
With the bioresonance BNR analysis, we were able to test the right remedies for Carou and
after 2 weeks the ear had healed completely.

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.

Equine fescue edema – poisoning in the horse meadow

If your horse is out in the pasture and has recurring swellings and edema,

you should definitely think about edema.

Often the swelling and edema decrease when the horse is in motion.

Equine fescue edema is caused by grass poisoning.

Other diseases that are triggered by this are:

– fescue edema

– Ergot poisoning

ryegrass staggers

– liver damage

Symptoms can be:

– Swelling of the parotid glands, nostrils, eyes, lips

– Edema of the genital organs, neck and trunk

– Water retention on the head

– drowsiness

– Infertility of mares

– Intestinal paralysis – and obstruction

– colic

– swollen joints

– Tremble

– headshaking

– Frightfulness

– Laminitis

– Mallenders

– Sallenders

– skin and coat problems

– tarnished legs

– abnormal liver values

– frequent inflammation of the eyes

Emergence:

The poisoning is caused by endophytes.

Endophytes are fungi that enter into a community with plants.

The fungus penetrates the entire plant from the stem to the leaves and flowers.

The endophytes get stressed by drought, heat, cold, water supply or eating

through insects or grazing animals, they produce increased toxins.

These toxins are supposed to prevent the predators from continuing to eat.

It is concentrated poison and animals will eat it when nothing else is available.

If horses ingest too large quantities, serious illnesses can result,

which can also be fatal.

Endophytic seeds are sold to make the plants more resilient and the meadows more resilient

make it more profitable.

The following types of grass are particularly affected:

– German ryegrass

– Meadow fescue

– Red fescue

What to do:

– Feed zeolite / bentonite to bind and remove the mycotoxins

– Assist the liver to evacuate the toxins

– Free hay

– slow grazing

– Alternating grazing

– Take special care in summer and autumn because of stress on the endophytes

temperature fluctuations

– sow a variety of grass species

The best is to test individually the appropiate remedies to support your horse in recovery.

This could be perfectly done with bioresonance according to the BNR method, kinesiology or tensor.

Katze Diabetes

Cat – diabetes mellitus

Blood sugar, i.e. the amount of glucose in the blood, is absorbed into the cells in healthy animals by through insulin and used to generate energy.

Insulin is made in the islet cells of the pancreas and released into the bloodstream when needed.

In the case of diabetes, either the body’s own insulin can no longer be produced sufficiently, then we speak of insulin deficiency and / or the body does not respond adequately to the existing insulin for various reasons, this is called insulin resistance.

As a result, the glucose level in the blood rises sharply and leads to the following symptoms.

Symptoms

– weakness

– listlessness

– loss of appetite

– weight loss

– Loss of vision (this is often not noticed immediately, as the cat is secure finding the way around

in the apartment)

– increased or reduced feed intake

– frequent urination

– increased drinking

– Restriction of jumping ability

– the hind legs sag deeply when walking, the cat is already walking on the hocks

Risk factors for diabetes

– obesity

– sedentary lifestyle

– Age

– castration

– hormonal diseases

– Chronic inflammation

– Certain medications

Therapy

– Insulin

– Feed changeover / adaptation

The timing of feeding and insulin injection should be coordinated.

The insulin should be injected after the cat has already eaten something.

The right food should be tested individually.

Remission

Remission is the term used to describe the regression of symptoms of the disease.

In cats with diabetes, remission is 30-50%, especially if they are adjusted well within the first 6 months.

In addition, accompanying naturopathic support is very helpful.

With bioresonance therapy, the required remedies can be tested individually,

so you can be sure that your cat is getting exactly what it really needs.

Get well soon.

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.

Katze-Giardiose

Cat – giardia/ giardiosis

Giardia are parasites that can cause severe diarrhea in cats, many other animals and humans.

It can lead to severe inflammation of the small intestine.

The diarrhea often alternates with normal defecation.

The feces are slimy, smelly and sometimes bloody.

Most of the time, the cats are fine nevertheless.

Giardia are spread through ingestion of contaminated water and / or contact with infected animals.

Stress can also lead to an outbreak of giardia.

The diarrhea is a healthy reaction of the body, because it tries to get rid of the Giardia.

Conventional medicine treats it with e.g. Panacur.

However, this does not eliminate the cause.

Cause intestinal flora & immune system

The cause is a non-intact intestinal flora and thus a non-intact immune system.

If the intestinal flora is not in balance, neither can the immune system.

Without a healthy immune system, the cat cannot fight off the parasites.

Because of this, many kittens have a Giardia problem because the immune system is still

is not fully developed or is sensitively disturbed by vaccinations, de-worming, etc.

If the intestinal flora is built up and completely “dense”, the Giardia has no chance any longer.

The first thing to do is to rebuild the intestinal flora.

Cause nutrition

Diet also plays a major role.

Cats are strict carnivores, and a wild cat’s diet would contain almost no carbohydrates.

Giardia feed on carbohydrates.

This means that dry food and wet food containing carbohydrates should be removed from the food plan immediately in order to starve the Giardia – and to feed the cat appropriately.

Cause stress

If diarrhea persists, it is important to check if the cat is stressed.

This can be triggered by a wide variety of causes, such as construction work, the other cat(s),

new people in the environment, changes in routine … etc.

Therapy

With the bioresonance analysis I can test which remedies for the intestinal flora are right for your cat, which food would support it and what it on top needs against the Giardia.

Depending on where the stress-inducing cause lies, the treatment should start individually and specifically.Bi

“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.
