Comments on #33 Skin! It's alive! - Vital Animal® § The Natural Path

Where do you get love bugs?

Loved this episode. I learned so much about the skin's microbiome that I had not realized before. I also really like Dr. Falconer's interview style. It was like a conversation between friends. He gave her the time she needed to say what she wanted without interrupting her all the time.

Hey! Don't forget us groomers! We see the skin from nose to tail. Most of my clients are on four-week grooming schedules. I notice skin issues, lumps, bumps, can smell bad teeth, have pulled rotten hair from between teeth, and told numerous clients in the 14 years I have been in business to get their pets checked out. This was such a great, great episode! Thank you for all you do!

I have a white dalmation/pit mix . He’s completely deaf. After his third round of shots he started itching like crazy! I took him to the vet and they put him on apoquel. He was on it for a couple months before I found out how bad apoquel was for him. They had also prescribed some really harsh shampoo. I’ve been putting aloe on his bad spots but he still scratches himself til he bleeds. I can’t wait to try the yogurt mask!
I appreciate all you do! Keep up the good work!

My dogs both dig moles so they are constantly dirty from digging in dirt and mud. They clean their own paws so wind up consuming dirt. My dogs rarely get a bath but I know many people who bathe their dogs weekly!!! Both of my dogs are very healthy. No gut issues.

This was brilliant! Everything is connected!

Any further info about Julie's comment in reference to a dog without their sex organs (how to support)? She mentioned amino acids, and I'd like to know more about that. My dog was spayed at 10 months after one heat cycle and I'd like to proactively support her endocrine system now (at 3 years old) before she gets older and starts having problems.

Hi you all! Hi Dr. F! This is so helpful. What is the recipe for the mask that she recommends? It has probiotics + Kefir + what else? Thank you thank you!

As usual the fountain of all knowledge, keeping us on the correct path for our canine buddies, so much info, brilliant, will keep on sharing all your info.
