Scout Gauthier HEALTH ASSESSMENT February 4, 2015 HEALTH ASSESSMENT Main Complaints Sensitive Stomach Occasional Stool Eating Supplement Recommendations Supplement Amount Bone Broth/Answers Fish Stock ½ cup Probiotic Eleven 1 Capsule Bach Flower Remedy 3 Drops *Dosing amounts are listed in the “amounts” column. How often 1–0–1 1–0–1 1–0–1 **How often is according to AM – Noon – PM, therefore 2 – 0 – 2 would correlate to “2 caps with AM meal – Nothing at Noon – 2 caps with PM meal” Bone Broth (or Answers Fermented Fish Stock) – This is loaded with so many amino acids, minerals and vitamins that just about every dog, cat, and human should consume it. It helps repair the gut, support the joints, detoxes the liver, supplies a great amount of nutrients as well as improving allergy symptoms, digestion, immune system health, brain health, connective tissue, and it even remineralizes the body. It is very high in different amino acids such as proline, glycine, and gelatin. It is best to use fresh bones and meat with each batch. The last 8 hours of cooking, add herbs such as thyme, sage, and oregano for their immune boosting properties. You can add the broth in with food or give in a separate bowl as a treat. Scout should be getting ½ cup twice daily. Probiotic Eleven - This probiotic blend is good for supporting proper intestinal health as well as building the immune system. It is also recommended for lack of energy, production of B vitamins, weight problems, yeast overgrowth, boost the immune system, proper elimination, excess gas and skin problems. This blend is made of 11 strains of probiotics offering several ways to build good digestive flora in the intestines supporting a healthier pet. Give 1 capsule two hours after each meal (or 1 mid-day and 1 before bed) without food. This blend of probiotics would be good for Scout because it is a stronger potency than the OptaGest and would help not only with his sensitive stomach, but also with his stool eating. I would still continue to offer the OptaGest because it offers the digestive enzymes that are needed. Bach Flower Remedy - This helps support emotions. This remedy will work very subtly and begins to happen sometimes without the owner noticing the change www.thepetbeastro.com | [email protected] | 248.548.3448 | 2 HEALTH ASSESSMENT right away. Scout’s blend contains Walnut, Heather, and crab apple. Walnut is great for any kind of transition, especially for animals who have been rescued or re-homed. Crab Apple helps to remedy dogs that eat stool. Heather is for dogs that are overly noisy when they seek attention. Diet Recommendations This is just as important as the supplements. By feeding a raw diet, we are able to avoid many filler’s and synthetic ingredients that mainstream, large manufactured foods are made with. We are also able to eliminate inflammatory and high sugar foods. The organ meat is also essential in the fact that it provides the amino acids our bodies need but is doing so in and unadulterated form. Consider using filtered or alkaline water. This is eliminating contaminates from city tap water. Tap water has fluoride and chlorine which disrupts proper gut function and can fester candida issues. Both fluoride and chlorine are harmful additives that can also affect our brain function. We also have prescription drugs in our tap water that are not removed from filtration. This could cause more toxic build up in our pet’s organs. Other Recommendations Please avoid over-vaccinating. Vaccinations are very damaging to the immune system. If vaccines are necessary, we can provide a plan to boost the immune system prior to and after the vaccine is given. We can also make a homeopathic antidote to help offset the effects of the vaccine but you will need to obtain the empty syringe of the vaccine from your veterinarian. We can give you some tips prior to the vaccine appointment. Also avoid topical flea preventatives or chemicals since these are soaked into the skin and take a toll on the liver, spleen and pancreas. Topical flea medications (Frontline, Advantage, etc.) are pesticides that have carcinogenic (cancer causing) ingredients. These treatments can cause, but are not limited to, skin irritations, cancer, nervous system damage, organ damage and infertility. There are safe options that we carry at the store to help repel fleas. The main course of action is building your pet’s immune system to make them less appealing to fleas and ticks. You may want to consider adding the Earth Animal Internal Flea & Tick powder. This blend of herbs helps to rebalance the pH of the blood to make our animals “less tasty” while boosting the immune system. Many of the herbs in this formula are also considered nutritive herbs which mean they help nourish the body and they are loaded www.thepetbeastro.com | [email protected] | 248.548.3448 | 3 HEALTH ASSESSMENT with trace vitamins and minerals. This in turn will help support the skin and coat structure. Limit or eliminate the heartworm medications if you are comfortable with this choice. Otherwise May through October only and we can follow up with some liver cleansing herbs following the monthly dose to help cleanse the body from the medication. Animal Essentials Detox Blend is a nice blend with a mild liver cleansing effect to promote liver health after the heartworm medication is given. All recommendations are purely suggestions. The Pet Beastro does not have a licensed veterinarian on staff nor does the staff practice medicine. If you feel that your pet needs immediate medical attention, then you need to take them to your practicing veterinarian or emergency clinic. www.thepetbeastro.com | [email protected] | 248.548.3448 | 4
