When I do a “V”-plasty on your dog’s eyelid(s) there’s a notch taken out of the eyelid and it’s opposed again with tiny, dissolvable stitches. But is it THAT easy? Nahhhhhhhhh
There’s stuff to watch out for. And that’s in this document.

Three Foolproof Skin Strategies for Itchy Dogs
Three Foolproof Skin Strategies for Itchy Dogs include antibiotics and a scorched-earth policy using shampoo that eliminates fungus and bacteria. Followed by Cytopoint.
Alternatives include steroids and antibiotics, or even taking your pet to a dermatologist. (In Cobb County half of them don’t require referrals anymore.)
Here’s how these three things can be ‘sure fire’ fixes for your pet’s skin.

All Fish Disease Cases Are Handled The Same
There is an approach to ALL fish disease cases that people want to short circuit. They want to go from identification of a sick fish, to the potion that cures it. Sadly, almost all fish health cases are tied to water. So while people are trying to figure out what medicine they need, they’re losing fish instead of changing water, increasing aeration, bioseeding the tank and employing constant water replacement. No medicine at all.
So all cases start with assessment of crowding and ‘new fish’ syndrome, swing through water testing and THEN sometimes into treatments.

Biological Assessment Forms – Koi Ponds and Goldfish – Not a Diagnosis
The practice of Veterinary Medicine “without a license” would have you diagnosing diseases and making prescriptions for fish*. To avoid doing that, you can make an assessment of the pond and fish and note ‘what you found’ without actually referring to a parasite or condition as a diagnosis.
Identifying the presence of a parasite isn’t a diagnosis. Identify a parasite or condition without making a diagnosis like a veterinarian. Here’s a document that steps you through the many assessments you would do well to annotate WITHOUT making an actual diagnosis.

*Because you can diagnose and give shots to dogs and cats without a license all day long and not get punished.
Broodstock (Breeder Koi) Health Concerns
Broodstock health is a 7 page PDF file with all my slides from a presentation I made at University of Georgia on the subject of fish health in broodstock when they’re gathered for breeding purposes in the Spring, usually. It is instructive on the parasites, water quality issues, viruses and handling considerations when you put so many fish together under that kind of stress. At least the water isn’t hot.

Dog Anti-Cancer Nutrition
This is an old diet. It employs some technologies that have since become mainstream like feeding low carbohydrate to cancer patients to mess up the cancer cell’s metabolism (they get sugar directly instead of normal-response to insulin)

Cooked Diet, For Home Cooking For Dogs
This diet is intended for regular dogs that benefit from ‘people’ quality foodstuffs and would eschew fillers, second-rate meat, by-product meals, etc.
If you cook for your dog, this will ensure that your dog gets EVERY nutrient in the right amounts. Without being fat as a result.
It’s a PDF free download that’s thorough all the way out to the calories and RDA of the nutrients.
There are other home cooking recipes in the web site. Some are simpler than others.

Tropical Fish Health Presentation For Fish Store Retailers
Full color, full page slides from a Powerpoint presentation made for tropical fish store retailers, pet shop owners. Of import I talked about water trickle systems as a way to get the best quality water possible, an overview of parasites and treatments, the use of salt and then discussed Bioseeding. Tropical Fish Health Presentation For Fish Store Retailers. The ‘bad’ part about this document is that many slides are used to contain videos which show up in the Powerpoint but not in the handout.
