Mr. Darcy had several days with a couple of sneezes last week. Then came the green sticky gunk in his eyes each morning. Neurotic mother, I called and scheduled with his vet, whom we visit at 2:30 today.
I pulled out my Reigning Cats and Dogs book, 173 pages written by a holistic vet named Pat McKay. She advised changing Mr. Darcy's water to distilled, and putting drops of Colloidal Silver in the eyes. It is considered an antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal agent. Within 2 days the eye gunk was gone.
McKay supports raw meats and bones diet with much information backing her reasoning.
I had kept McKennitt and Jack (my hearding dogs) on homemade Raw most of their lives. These boys were parasite free with glistening coats, healthy teeth, no odor poops and no doggie breath. When the imported dog food scare happened several years back, I was certain I'd chosen the best diet path for them.
I am going to slowly convert Mr. Darcy especially after revisiting McKay's book last week. I'll keep Orijen on the side as he still nibbles at it.
Hope this bit of info is helpful to some of you Yorkie parents out there.
