Newly Bought Puppy Died of Hookworm Infestation

by

puppy died of hookworms

My new puppy died of hookworm infestation. I got him Nov 16 at 1:30pm, fed him horse heart and fat. A few minutes later pooped loose liquid stool and I counted three the rest of the day. Vet says that was a signal that there was something wrong with the dog the day I bought him.

Later on and the next day he wouldn’t eat. I tried giving him raw beef, raw egg, nothing. I resorted to giving him some beef muscle blood in his water for some nutrition.

So on the 18th in the morning I took him to the Vet. He was put on IV.
Vet called Nov 19 morning saying the dog died. Lots of large hookworms and lots more eggs.

Vet says the dog was sick and infested the day I bought him. Whatever alleged deworming done was not effective. No paperwork, no proof, just the word of the seller.

And for those of you afraid of raw meat causing parasites… you are wrong on this case, this dog was allegedly fed Beef Pro, some kind of dog food before it got to me. Hookworms do not develop in the instant it was eaten. Geezzzz, keep your imagination sane.

Here is a more knowledgeable opinion by a more experienced dog raiser, Yuli:

The puppy OBVIOUSLY had parasites before, was NOT dewormed, the puppies mother was NOT dewormed, and when the dog was brought to a new place the stress of everything let his already big worm problem go out of hand.

ANY sane/honest breeder will give you the PAPERWORK of what the dog was given.

Without this paperwork we can safely assume that this puppy had no deworming and was probably born from a wormy mother dog in bad conditions and not properly taken care of. Thats why it died, because it was already dying/unhealthy when you got it.

The girl already lied to you about the breed of the dog do you really think she took care of it, she just wanted the money.

Blaming the fact that he ate some dog kibble on this is just insane. No matter how bad it is to feed your dog kibbles. It just as insane as saying that bit of raw horse gave him such a big problem of worms in that time.

and

They don’t need to be dewormed and backed by paperwork to be healthy, they just need to have a healthy mother and be raised in healthy conditions. If you don’t want to de-worm them ok but then make sure you control any infestation that may arise even on a raw diet. A badly bred dog from unhealthy parents will still be unhealthy on a raw diet.

The reason why the breeder MUST give you paperwork is because then the breeder is SURE of their dogs health and genetics, they are not trying to hide the fact that they don’t take care of their dogs especially the mother dog, or breed dogs that should not be bred.

Buy a puppy with paperwork and health guarantee from a proven breeder, and I guarantee you, even if it was fed kibble up until you got it and after it will still be healthy, yes even on cooked junk, like most puppies are when they come from breeders who know their shit.

If you get a healthy dog and you switch it to raw then it will be EVEN healthier Cheesy But it would not get worms from eating some kibble….

Hair Loss Treatment That Worked – My Barber Taught Me

by

A few years ago, I was balding / hair loss at the top of my head. Who else to ask but the hair expert? My barber of course! So while having my haircut he taught me what has worked for him and many of his customers. It’s a hush hush thing, you will never see this tip on TV, on magazines, on any sponsored mass media.

The cause of my balding / hair loss, my barber said, was that particular spot is where I habitually slap on the shampoo. I would pump some shampoo on my hand and SLAP it on top of my head. My barber said that shampoo, all shampoo, are powerful chemicals, too powerful, they kill your hair follicles.

Hair Loss Solution #1 – Change your method of slapping on the shampoo: Get your dipper, pump the shampoo in, add water in the dipper, mix. With this diluted shampoo in the water, shampoo your hair.

Hair Loss Solution #2 – Stop using shampoo altogether!

And for those who shower with scalding water, stop scalding your scalp!

Yeah, I tried hair loss solution #1, then got tired of doing that and shifted to hair loss solution #2 – stop using shampoo altogether!

Best hair loss treatment ever for me. I had my hair back. The balding spot is gone.

Funny all those guys trying to put all forms of chemicals, gunk and what not on their scalp — when the hair loss treatment plan that works is to absolutely use NOTHING. No shampoo!

My uncle is 60 years old and he has a full head of hair, no hair loss, his technique had always been… no shampoo!

The only time I shampoo is after a hair cut. My wife buys organic shampoo for herself. I use some of that organic shampoo after a haircut. Which may be once a month! Why? Just to get the tiny cut hairs out of my scalp.

2 Day Bought Puppy in the Vet Hospital

by

After a day with the puppy, I commented in our forum that:

Man, this puppy is small and frail. Should’ve gotten one more mature. All he does is whine and sleep. I don’t think he’s strong yet.

Is he pure?  I don’t know.
As long as when he grows up he barks and guards our house, then he’ll be worth it.

and then the following day

Was he taken off of his mother’s milk too early?

Seems like it.
I took him to the vet for hydration and support.
He’s staying there until he recovers.
After that one meal, he has since refused to eat and drink.
He’s dehydrated.
And after the first meal with me, he pooped liquidy stool, I count 3 liquidy stools the first afternoon I got him.
Vet said that’s not normal, he must have been sick the day I got him.
And he says the pup looks too young, not weaned enough.
The seller said the pup was born September 3, seems that’s not true the vet said.

Vet said the anus has blood when he put the thermometer in.
And no worms in the microscope.
His temp is too low 36 degrees celsius only
And he’s dehydrated.
And has poor blood circulation.

Ah well, you learn some.
Hope the dog survives.

Someone commented. Its likely he is either too young or he could have been the runt of the litter.

That’s what the vet said… RUNT of the litter or too young.

Hope he survives, the kids and I will visit him tomorrow.

At least I’m learning from the vet, how to check symptoms of a dog.

10 Year Old Declares War Against Fast Food, Bad Food, Drugs and other Unhealthy Habits

by

A 10 year old boy is gifted with the intelligence of today’s top health advocates. Granted he is young and brash, yet at his young age he noticed that he was being poisoned and sabotaged by the very grown ups tasked to raise him.

He sees the evil in microwaving the ghastly manufactured “food” for him, he sees the evil in all the fast food being fed to him, how birthdays are celebrated with bad food called cakes, how his fellow children are caught in a trance over video games and television, how his mother smokes and drinks booze then forces him to take some psychiatric drug… intentionally to drug him… to dumb him down.

Seems like all our life stories on www.rawpaleoforum.com. We are all warlords.

I wonder how my kids picture me. Me being their parent this time. The Warlord is now the parent.

Always hammering about raw paleo diet and anti-drugs frothing at the mouth against drug doctors and healing people of incurable diseases. Eat your raw beef, eat your raw fat, eat your raw eggs, eat your juiced vegetable, eat your fruit. You got sick again? Didn’t I tell you not to eat that crap? Don’t you ever watch that dumbing down television and video games are a waste of time.

My eldest boy got pissed one day when I said don’t eat the cooked vegetables, I’d rather give you raw salads.

I love my folks, they didn’t know it at that time, drugs and doctors victimized us, the fast food and the restaurants victimized us. Now it is OUR TURN. We, the warlords are in control. We are the parents.

My children are on a cooked / raw paleo diet. Some extra carbohydrates with organic rice. No chemicals in our food. We do not use drugs on our children. We don’t drink alcohol, we don’t smoke. We send them to a school that discourages and disparages all television and video games watching so they are with peers who think alike.

Raw Meat Diet for New Japanese Spitz Puppy

by

For the first time, we got a dog of our own. We used to share a dog with my brother in law, it was a Japanese Spitz, she got lost and never returned. Then my brother in law got another dog, this time a beagle – bad kind of dog, useless creature. That one got lost again, whoopee!

Village burglaries are on the rise, recently my own office got burgled so I thought we needed a barking dog in our own yard. The old Japanese Spitz did such a fine job at that time, her name was Powder. I believe that old dog was one of the best dogs we’ve had. She only pooped and peed in the far part of the garden, she greeted me every time I got home and led me to the door. She never once wanted to get in the house, she knew her place was outside. She barked at all the strangers menacingly.

So we finally got a dog this afternoon. I scanned sulit.com.ph and looked for a male Japanese Spitz puppy. Found one that was available and met the young lady this afternoon at SM City North EDSA. Bought the 2.5 month old puppy for 3,500 pesos. She said the puppy had been weaned away from mother’s milk and was eating “dog food” – whatever that was. We named the dog SNOWY, just like the cartoon character Tin Tin’s dog.

On the way home we passed by a pet shop and bought a small carrying case which will serve as Snowy’s domicile while he grew up. We bought a collar and a leash, got to let him get used to it. And we also bought a doggie plate.

Dog was thirsty when we finally got home and I gave him some of my left over coconut juice. After a while I fed him some of my 2 week old raw horse heart and raw horse fat. He smelled, tasted and ate it. Pooped 3 times later on and the kids were playing around with him in the garden.

Told all the help this was going to be a 100% raw diet dog. Raw meat, raw bones and few raw vegetables plus our purified water.

The seller told us the puppy was still young and would be sleeping a lot. On the road going home the dog was asleep. After playing with the kids, the dog was asleep again. I’m waiting for Snowy to wake up so I can feed him more raw horse heart and fat.

Why a raw meat diet for our new dog? Because I want him to be in the best of health and live his life to the fullest.

Bitter Melon / Ampalaya Brings Fantastic Healing Results Lowering Blood Sugar Levels

by

Senior obese man gets a hypoglycemic experience, then measures blood sugar levels and found borderline diabetic high blood sugar levels. He found raw bitter melon information saying it allowed the body to absorb carbohydrates normally and maintain blood sugar levels.

I attribute this improvement to my less than a week of raw bitter melon fruit regimen. I eat my normal diet plus:

First, boiled and pureed ampalaya fruit.

Second, fresh raw and pureed ampalaya fruit.

Third, fresh raw and pureed ampalaya fruit added with two tablespoons of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).

The past 2 weeks I take one capsule of 200 mg freeze-dried “Bitter Melon” fruit dietary supplement( mfd in Oregon).

Tonight I prepared bitter melon salad. Just raw bitter melon with raw onions and my homegrown raw tomatoes.

I had my blood sugar levels and results showed 83 mg/dl. The test was done after 1.5 hours lang after lunch.

The normal blood glucose ranges are:

Before meals or after an 8-hr fasting—–90-130 mg/dl.

Two hours after meals———————Less than 160 mg/dl.

At bedtime——————————–110-150 mg/dl.

Fantastic, huh?

Bitter Melon works to regulate blood sugar levels… absolutely, absolutely.

Awesome!

That’s the way it’s done.
The power of nutrition.
Super duper easy. Super duper fast.
