Thank you for helping us keep our pets safe & in the healthiest ways possible. The plannedemic made me wake up to our very own health care & in turn change my beliefs on our pet’s health care (how could it not?) My only regret is not recognizing it sooner. I say often to myself & others when you know better you do better.
Btw my twin sister is Laura Kasner . God bless you for linking her Substack & helping wake up the sleeping flock. 🥰
You’re most welcome, Laura, and yeah: that assemblage of microbes — the more we learn about them, the more we see what a HUGE influence they have on us, at so many levels. I changed my whole attitude towards soap after I interviewed Julie Ann Lee: https://vitalanimal.com/33-skin-its-alive/
I recently viewed a beautiful, inspirational movie "My Octopus Teacher" where a human who is suffering from depression, forms a bond with an Octopus. Definitely worth watching and is on Netflix.
Thank you Dr. Faulkner for another informative newsletter. I want to comment on the comment made by 8myveggies and the price of veterinary care. They are so spot on! I’ve been affected by the rising costs and the delay in treating my pets. I’ve got a farm full of animals and while I do most interventions myself, there are times when you need a vet. I’m my area the prices are insane. What used to cost me $400-$600 to castrate a colt, I’m now being quoted $1500-2000 to come out to my farm and do the procedure. I find the new vet students are sorely lacking in real world experience and have no intuition or teaching in how to figure and treat issues and an over reliance on diagnostic modalities. I’m raising my cats and dogs as natural as possible but because I’m traveling this summer into Canada I will be getting my dog a rabies shot but I will be using your rabies kit to help offset vaccinosis. My goal is to never repeat the shot. I did take your course and I’m ok with my decision as my area has rabid bats and I once found a dead bat on my patio. I did look up my county statistics and was surprised at the number of rabid bats. Thanks for all you do to spread the message of natural care.
Sadly LL, the vet students are learning mostly by algorithms and not using their brains or thinking outside the box. I believe this is part and parcel to the One Health agenda which is no good. Imagine what AI will do to their critical thinking skills as well. Heavy sigh.
I really look forward to your newsletter. This one is particularly good!
FYI, there was an article up on yahoo yesterday titled:
Pet health care prices are so high that most owners are skipping treatments
The article is interesting enough although it’s probably brought to us by CareCredit. What’s much more interesting are the comments.
To have a look, search the article title and click on the yahoo version. People are quickly losing their patience with veterinary medicine and many will not get anymore pets due to unaffordable veterinary costs.
Great newsletter! We tried a mail order high quality raw food for our cats and they didn't much care for it. We want to try again. Any suggestions for high quality canned or refrigerated foods that cats seem to like? I guess affordability is out of the question...LOL And on another note, we had a Weimaraner who had lipomas and I KNEW it was related to puppy shots, thanks for confirming!
Most times, it's less the brand but the temperature you offer it at. Cats depend on smelling their food, so if it's cold (anything less that a comfy room temp), most trying anything new will refuse it.
The other thing is, cats are good at training their humans, so may refuse to see if you'll bend and bring out another choice. I give them 30' tops, and if not eaten, save it for another try 12-24 hrs later. Quick warming tip: immerse a serving in a baggie in a warm water bath.
I really enjoyed this article, because I actually learned a couple of new things.
1) NO
2) Lipomas
You just never know where you’re going to find that nugget of knowledge. I almost didn’t read this article because I don’t own cats. Even though I have grown more fond of them over the years, I have not owned one, because you CAN’T!
Never knew what Lipomas were. I have seen them, but not on my own animals. Seems like vaccine is the main cause which would explain why I have never seen one on my animals. puppy shot + rabies vaccine. in California you have to have a rabies shot every three years but this year I am taking DVM Falconer’s advice and will be seeing an immunologist. i’m not sure if it will work with animal control, but I’m going to make my stand and give it my best shot.
It might be simpler just to not comply, Buddy. Study up a bit on what "they" can and cannot do, legally speaking. Pretty sure a No Trespassing sign goes a long way… They certainly can threaten fines, but what if you don't comply with those as well? A lot of their strategy is fear, hoping to get compliance.
Thank you Will, that is exactly my plan that I concocted once I became a subscriber and read some of your posts. What I didn’t have before was a strategy, all I had was the knowledge that there are not that many pharmaceutical companies, so….. As many have said, Covid was an eye-opener for many people, and there was much to be learned.
Animal control actually canvas my neighborhood about three weeks ago. I wasn’t home but they left a card on the fence saying they would be back in the neighborhood and would like to speak with me because they saw dogs in my yard. I spoke with them and explained that two of the dogs were actually Dogs that I had rescued in this neighborhood because they appeared to be close to death, which was true. I explained my situation and told them that I would need at least two possibly three months to come into compliance, and they agreed. If and when they contact me again, I will move to phase 2. if they push it I will review the law concerning vaccinations and see if the immunologist will be sufficient if the report is conclusive. I am grateful to you for all the information I’ve gleaned from your posts and your website and interactions. If there are any prayer warriors reading this, I could use all the help I can get thanks and God bless you.
In Kansas, there's a state law requiring rabies vax. My vet's staff became quite hostile with me by saying no for my 17 year old cat who is unlikely to encounter rabies. She was vaxxed at sge 1 and 10. They threatened me with the possibility of being sued if my cat bit one of the staff. The other vets in my town have a similar attitude. As it is with human medicine now, we're afraid to seek medical care.
Good for you for holding your ground, Susie. At her age, that could easily have been far more risk than benefit, especially as you know her risk of exposure better than the vet. There’s an ugly side to vet med emerging and I really don’t like it.
And MOST states have such “laws” on the books. Very glad you didn’t let that sway your decision.
I walked out of two vet clinics for this same reason, old cat, not giving vaxs she's got kidney disease! In our state you can titer but the law is on the side of vax jab. The only argument I can bring to bear is: Et voila, i am also rabies proofed (good for 5 years, obtained due to bat exposure mandated rabies complete series 'just in case'). So, all the other cats are up to date, old or dying don't roam and we are not afraid of rabies or getting bitten. Also my pet tech is also rabies vaxxed fully and up to date. :) We don't care if we get bit, LOL. Pretty sure I'm more afraid of getting Pasteurella or some other bacterial infection, and will be pulling my own abx (fish ones) straight out of the cupboard and taking them after appropriately debriding and cleaning any bite wound (curved syringe, flush with saline and ouch hydrogen peroxide. I'm prepped for all such events. Last time they wanted me to do tetanus jab for a cat bite through my thumb by my own cat when I was pilling him. I was like? Tetanus? An indoor cat who isn't wandering near any barns or horses.. where's that tetanus coming in then?
Right on: anyone ill with anything is Not Healthy. Every vaccine is labeled Only for Healthy. Read more on how many of you will already have a waiver here: http://vitalanimal.com/waiver/
This is so frustrating and cruel to pet parents. My rabies titer has been holding for 20 years so this constant vax issue has to be reevaluated. Having said that, the vet lobbyists and big pharma won't stand for that, we all know this.
From your vet. This is normally done if a senior pet has a chronic condition or too senior for more vax. By the sound of it, not sure if your vet would do this. Work with a holistic/integrative/functional vet if you have one in your locale and are not happy with your current vet. Just a suggestion. They are an absolute joy to work with. You can google, "holistic veterinarian in (put your city)". Here is a website too that may be able to locate one near you. https://www.ahvma.org/find-a-holistic-veterinarian/#!directory/map/
Love your newsletter. A couple of years ago we switched our two elderly cats to a raw food diet and it has made a world of difference. I make it my at home once a month. They lost extra weight, have beautiful shiny coats, and the vet said they had never seen such healthy teeth in an older cat.
Our dog also eats raw and we have it shipped frozen. On Easter morning she developed an aural hematoma which we have had no experience with before. Vets were not helpful. With time, it's now getting better and drying up. Would love to hear your experience with these and suggestions on how to treat naturally. Thank you for what you do and who you are
Great experience with your cats eating raw! That should be enough to keep you going!
Hematomas make me ask, as a homeopath, "why isn't that blood clotting?" That's abnormal. I'd treat the individual, like all my patients, with "whole animal" remedies that made sense for that individual, so there's no "one size fits all treatment" to me.
And, as you say, they typically slowly resolve, if the weight of the thing doesn't drive them so nuts they can't stop head shaking. Vets like to do a surgery of sorts, but I've never seen that to be deep enough, nor worth the expense vs Tincture of Time.
The interpretation of titres is challenging. After an active immunity is established, titres may DECLINE with time, even becoming UNDETECTABLE. Nevertheless, in cases of infection the IMMUNOLOGICAL MEMORY may be activated so RAPIDLY that the animal is PROTECTED against disease. For various infectious agents a high titre may be used to provide evidence of protective immunity, but a low titre DOES NOT necessarily indicate susceptibility. Titres may also vary according to the test used and the laboratory performing the test. Therefore, the term ‘protective titre’ is not applicable (contrary to passively, usually maternally, derived antibody titres).
Schultz et al. [2010] claim that the presence of antibodies (following an active immune response), REGARDLESS of the titre, demonstrates IMMUNITY.
Schultz [2006] claimed that ‘immunity to CDV, CPV-2 and CAV-1 persists for a lifetime after vaccination, similar to the persistence of immunity after natural infection’.
Inducing long-lasting immunity
The immunological memory involving B and T lymphocytes, which develop in response to an antigen, plays the key role in long-lasting immunity. Such memory cells are activated rapidly after a second exposure to the same antigen. Additionally, long-lived plasma cells continue to produce antibodies to the core vaccines (like CDV and parvovirus) for many years, without any further antigenic stimulation. Schultz [1998, 2006] called these cells ‘memory effector B cells’.
That misfire of "low titer means needs more shots" lead to this article, important for anyone entering the titer game: The Fallacy of Titer Tests http://vitalanimal.com/fallacy-of-titer-tests/
Thank you Dr Will, I’ve got some negative titer articles in immune dogs but they promote over vaccination and vaccinating at the wrong time of puppies.
If you are not natural rearing or mandated DHP what you do is titer puppies watching MDA going down to S1/0 which is the right time when one is likely to work otherwise the pup fights it off as a Natural infection (with all the risk of the toxic soup)
MDA can be gone by 5 weeks or present up till 25 weeks, MDA does not correspond to dams titer test, titer of pups have a huge variation within a litter.
Yeah, never seemed that practical to me, but if breeders used it, they'd at least know appropriate times to immunize, what ever they choose to use. Way too many slam their puppies with vaccines while passive colostral immunity is still there, so 100% risk, zero benefit. Did a podcast on that, veritably begging them to stop, but it's a hard nut to crack.
You can have a bitch with high titer and the pups had colostrum but no MDA at 7 weeks.
In some countries they don’t let people use that method, they want people to carry on over vaccinating pups at the wrong time and then NOT do a titer to see if one worked.
My cats see a vet once. When they are sterilized. My dog sees a vet as needed - I got better at treating small ailments myself, so this is usually every 3years because of the mandated rabies jab. No one here in GA will even cut your dogs nails if you don't have the paperwork. And the oral one is not allowed in the US as it is in Europe. One oral treatment for a lifetime. Obviously the govt has a pocket money on that too.
I had a chuckle with these vital signs. When I go to the doc and they will take my vital signs, I tell them I am alive. They still want to, though, and that is why I stopped my meds and will go on living without a doc as long as I can.
A woman after my own heart. I have pretty much given up dentists, doctors and others, and gone more wholistic, meditation, diet diet diet exercise, clean foods... all little things to support my self. I also have done alot of retrospective thinking on life, the meaning of, being fufilled etc etc.
My top 2 hero's, Dr. Will Falconer & Joel Salatin. Two people teaching us how to be in harmony with God's (Yahweh's) creation. Continued blessings on both of you, the world needs you.
Dr. Will, you are our Yoda! From one vet to another, thank you for all you do. Medicine, both veterinary and human, is disintegrating before our eyes. 15 minute appts, here's another pill to pop, fast food medicine mentality (here's another bag of food for your loved one), demonizing raw and fresh pet foods and over vaxing is/has been corrupting our profession. I have seen the most closemindedness in animal and human medicine with of course no help from the FDA/CDC/NIH/WHO for any trials of homeopathic products or repurposed meds as Big Harma could not have that-where would their obscene profits go?? Medicine is supposed to be about: LOVE OF THE PATIENT, first and foremost and today, it is not in most circumstances. We have to get back on track. May God bless you always for providing excellent information for our pet parents, urging informed consent and offering pet families the ability to perform their due diligence in order to help their loved ones heal. I am so very thankful for you.
I've never lived where the foxtails did, so zero experience, but I suspect homeopathic Silica (aka silicea) 30C, given hourly for 3 doses, then stop and watch for the rest of the day might expel these nasties.

Fascinating to learn mouthwash can increase blood pressure! Learning about the gut microbiome, it certainly makes sense!
Thank you Will, for linking my stack. My subs continue to grow, especially since dear Jenna featured me in her Subscriber Spotlight.
I so appreciate your posts. Covid certainly was a gift. It made us realize that it’s the same playbook with our beloved pets. A great awakening!
God bless you Will.

Thank you so much for your great newsletter.
We are in fox tail season. Is there any homeopathic that can help a dog that snorts up a fox tail. Any preventative.
If I take my dog to the vet they put them under sometimes they find it sometimes not. Then they prescribe antibiotics.
Just hoping for some alternative.
Thank you
I've never lived where the foxtails did, so zero experience, but I suspect homeopathic Silica (aka silicea) 30C, given hourly for 3 doses, then stop and watch for the rest of the day might expel these nasties.
Anyone have any better remedy suggestions?
I’ll try Silicea. Thank you for the reply
