We’ve just passed the Spring Equinox, which means that the season has officially changed!
In addition to changes in the weather and changes in the length of the days and nights, dietary changes are in order as well...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: How can it matter what we feed in the spring (or any other season)? Well, think for a sec, though - we ate stews in winter, salads in summer, fresh fruits in the spring but still some soups as we can still have rainy days. What would our dogs like?

Anxiety in pets manifests in many different ways. The recent registration of fluoxetine for canine separation anxiety has led to much discussion about this particular problem, but there are many other ways in which anxiety affects pets and causes worry to owners...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Homeopathy is a great tool in veterinary medicine. For those who know its wonders, one small dose can treat many large problems. Anxiety is one reason many pets are rehomed – not that the rehoming helps, it just means the pet parent can no longer cope. With the right homeopathic medicine, these problems can be cured and pets can stay with their parents.

This Buddhist statement sums it up… “Don’t talk if you can’t improve on silence.”
Whether it’s the fact that we are a society of human doings versus human beings or that we as caring individuals want to take the pain away from a hurting heart, for many of us sitting in silence with someone else is uncomfortable...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Silence. Nothing is harder. But, silence is real. It means dealing with, rather than avoiding. Use silence to help friend deal with grief.

Fatty liver is also called hepatic lipisosis. In hepatic lipidosis, something makes your kitty stop eating – from a virus, to vaccination, to stress to an illness...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Fatty liver diagnosis, especially in cats, is a scary one - it may mean weeks to months of assisted feeding, expensive trips to the vet, and sometimes there is no recovery.

Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: This life alone leaves us with many mysteries - mysteries as to the history of rescue dogs are amplified when we consider previous lives as well. A shamanic journey may help to solve these mysteries, even for our four-legged friends.

Our world is full of subtleties that are often overlooked in the rush of modern life. Oftentimes we see what is most evident and believe that to be all there is – we miss the web of more subtle events and objects that accompany the obvious but are hidden to the casual observer...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: The complete list of a patient's symptoms include how the patient thinks and feels about the world. This part of repertorisation is quite difficult in animals. We either omit and risk losing the right remedy, or we guess and misinterpret how our pets feel. Dr Glen teaches understanding. Thank you.

The relationship between our teeth & sugar probably began before we could even walk. Pediatricians tell parents not to put their baby to bed with a bottle of sugary juice because it will destroy the child’s teeth...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Oral health is not just a matter of clean teeth - it actually starts with what we feed our pets. Just like us, the better we eat, the better our teeth.

As is the case with all animals, their past experiences have helped to shape their personality and behaviour. Most animals have been traumatised in some way. Separation anxiety, shock, physical pain, are all common life experiences. Many owners are unaware of these aspects of their animal’s history, as they predominantly focus on its physical condition...
