  • Laminitis Management
    Laminitis or "founder" is a common illness known about by horse lovers from an early age, as native ponies on pasture that is too lush are common victims.

  • Older dogs and Natural Therapies
    Dogs, like humans, are living longer than ever before. In the wild, dogs would have died young, as soon as they were no longer able to find their own food and defend themselves against predators. As our companions, they are living to a great age. Mental and physical changes occur slowly over this time.
  • Retinal Detachment in Cats and Dogs
    A retinal detachment occurs if the layer of light-sensitive cells is pulled away from the back of the eye. In animals, this problem tends to prevent late in the illness, as a dog or cat cannot let us know that some of their vision is impaired. Retinal detachments tend to be picked up only when there is significant, often bilateral, visual loss.
