Bach Flowers Healing with Joan Jacobs on the Real Dr. Doolittle Show™ Note From Val: I first learned about Bach Flowers in the mid 1990’s, and have used them for myself, my family, my animals and recommended them to my clients and friends with great results.

You’ll love learning more about them too, regardless of whether you’ve been using them for years or are brand new to the concept.

An educational collection of articles on thrush in horses Brought to you by http://www.TheHorse.com/ BRUSHING UP ON THRUSH Winter is here and, for many areas of the country, that means the onset of wet weather, a reduction in riding, and more stall time for horses. For some owners, it’s less time spent with their horses and more time spent snugged up on the couch with the remote. All of which could mean an uptick in the risk of your horse developing thrush–that gunky, smelly, black discharge oozing from the bottom of his hoof. Continue reading… THRUSH DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT You’ve seen it many a time–a horse gallops across a field and dirt clods fly every which way. With normal activity, your horse’s hooves are subject to a natural cleansing process that scours the bottom of the hoof and removes debris collected there.

This last week I got a great question about solving problems with bully cats. A client told me that her younger cat jumps – and humps – the older cat (both neutered males). She’s bothered by this, as you might imagine. It’s bullying of a completely different sort than we dealt with in the Masterclass where the 40 pound Maine Coon was terrorizing and attacking his family, including the elderly, fragile senior kitty. And the way to solve it is also different. via GIPHY There are any number of reasons why this can happen. The list is as long as there are individual viewpoints! For today, let’s talk about one possibility: the extraordinary phenomenon I call […]
