Thanks for the write-up on bulb head/short snout dogs. I think we’ll stick with our GSDs. Our current “mutt” is part Czech, part East German and was quite a handful when younger, but now three and such a good girl!
I completely agree about cuteness vs. function. I hate to see pets bred for deformities just because some influencer posts cute videos featuring one.
"Munchkin" cats (with dwarf legs) started to be bred after a good-hearted (I assume) person adopted a cat born naturally with that deformity and started posting videos showing that a deformed/disabled cat can have a good life too. It was admirable of this person to take this cat in and care for it, and commenters sang their praises. But once viewers racked up tons of views other people started wanting to virtue-signal by owning pets like this too. Then enterprising cruel breeders started breeding for this deformity and selling kittens for big bucks. So sad! Those poor cats probably couldn't survive 48 hours on their own in the wild, and probably can't even scratch most of their body when they get an itch. Cruel, stupid humans!
Can you suggest any resources on chlorine dioxide for feral cat populations and shelters. There's a lot of propaganda out there but is possibly keeping a safe and really effective and affordable treatment for our Ferrells.
With neutering is a different technique such as tying tubes less invasive, and not as hard on the hormones and development system of animals, especially in our feral cat population that really needs to be neutered by 13 to 24 weeks?
I’ve not had any experience with chlorine dioxide, especially in cats, who are sensitive in ways dogs or people are not. Maybe someone into cat rescue has.
With cats, sure, you can tie tubes, but all the hysteria of repeated heats will still be upon you, and males will still want to fight each other and take on injuries. I think it’s going to be easier on both sexes to allow them to reach maturity and then neuter, in the old fashioned way. Easy peasy in the males, a bit more involved with the females.
Yes but that's not a good idea with Farrells as their numbers have become unprecedented? The free spay neuter clinics are in such high demand and when they take the first 75 in line once a month, usually over 150 show up, and they start lining up at 3 AM When doors open at eight. There has been research using chlorine dioxide on feline Kemia and upper respiratory very successfully. I totally understand what you're talking about with the cats system is not able to process certain drugs and or essential oils and it can cause grave toxicity. I'll just have to keep digging, and common sense says just ask a Midwestern doctor and/or Dr. Yoho who posted the original article that had many resources to studies that shared very promising results in thousands of different areas using chlorine dioxide as a much less toxic alternative to bleach, and is apparently 10 times more effective as a sanitizer as well as multifaceted and healing different conditions and humans and cats. Thank goodness Dr. Pierre CorryKORY Has done compilation study pulling many of the resources together and also had requested from our current government to take the ban off of research on it as well as H2O two, MB, DMSO, for human consumption studies. But until then I will continue biohacking as there's no money to do anything else, and I'm so disgusted with our current medical model there's no way I would utilize them, and then always looking at alternatives so I can get off certain medication that have enhanced my quality of life, however I know it is at a cost of many side effects that will decrease my lifespan. Thanks for all that you do. And the points that you made about heat cycles and still having the fighting even if you're tying the tubes on the males, I thought I had read that by doing that even at the younger ages of 8 to 12 weeks sometimes for the kittens as long as they're 2 pounds is healthier for them? In the main thing that we're concerned about is the overpopulation, but I was ignorant about the issues that you shared with me. Look forward to your articles, be safe and enjoy what you do.
Sorry, I can't agree with you when the kittens aren't neutered by six months they disappear in our attacked by Tom’s and the females are impregnated by then. I have seen them doing meeting at 13 weeks in some cases. I can only afford .5 of a cat and I now have five inside and seven outside only two more left to Neuter has had an eye infection when I neutered the Litter mates. It's a whole different reality with Ferrels as they will disappear and wander more so when not Neutered. When you live on the outskirts of town people just drop off cats is the shelters are all Full and they turn away 3 to 5 people a day looking to place unwanted litters of kittens. Once they get kittens in, as long as they are at least 2 pounds they get them neutered and they survive. I will never forget my six month old that was out of a litter of just two his brother got neutered he was back to normal within a day and it was unable to trap the other one showed up with many wounds and then just disappeared while his brother stayed and was fine. We all do the best that we can but your approach is not functional for ferals Where I live in Texas. I will do more research in groups and see what they're doing, if it's anything different than what I've been told by our Humane Society.
Yes, shedding is real and so very concerning. Just signed up for your Intro to Homeopathy and plan to take more courses. Thank you for teaching us this precious knowledge!
Hey Myra, within Substack, there’s a chance to Share everything that’s of interest. Look for the 3-dot menu and you’ll see some choices. Odds are, the whole newsletter is shareable, not just a portion of it.
Great information!!!!

Mixes are often the best! Hybrid vigor!

Arghh. Wasn’t aware of this.

So called “early neutering” is never advised. Many more serious diseases come from that practice than neutering once an animal has reached maturity.

Can I possibly get a copy of the article that was sent about vaccine shedding in animals?
