I do NOT miss Parvo season..

being a cats only hospital, we don't see that.
I always felt SO bad for those dogs.. they feel AWFUL, and it is so expensive to get them to live through the whole ordeal. Yes, a vaccine is much much cheaper.

How old is too old for Parvo? And do you vaccinate annually like for Rabies? Or just once? I have 2 rescues and one runaway, and I'm sure the old one, 19 years old, probably had hers. And one puppy mill MaMa mini daschie that lived i a crate for 10 years pooping out puppies. Poor thing. I'm pretty sure they would have vacs her. But my other rescue maybe didn't get the shot. Going to check tomorrow.
I guess my question, in short, is if it's just a puppy shot.

Okay, I am a newbie....but parvo (I believe) is a yearly booster. And actually Parvo is most prevelent in puppies, but (I know cuz I asked the other day) if an adult has not had its booster it to could catch Parvo. Parvo is awful. Diarrhea, vomiting, no eating. Dehydration.

Well here it is. A little smaller than I expected since the ad said Large coop. It is 5' wide 5' 9" front to back 6' high in the front and 4' in the back. Now I know it doesn't look like much but remember what my last free one looked like before? And yes it is going to need a little work on the roof. Seems the shipping company driver got a little carried away when he cinched his straps down!!

Oh really? Well when you have the time, and you find it, please do email that to me. Wonder if these are the same hawthorns... I know that these are a hybrid cross, and have never seen berries on them. But then again these trees are HUGE and I dont get to see what grows up at the tops. lol Maby the berries that the article mentions are actually the budlets before they bloom? before the blossoms open they look like little white cherry clusters. Very pretty, and heavenly to smell when in bloom.

If I remember correctly, I was told by the Dr.s that my heart would never shrink back to its original size. So it will always be a couple cm larger than it is supposed to be... But I am willing to try holistic remedies, even though the Dr.s say it wont work.

Does anyone have any red clover growing? I really want to grow some this year, as it is FULL of anioxidents, and helps rid the body of certain nasty cells that I dont want to think about... Anyone? Or does anyone know a good nursery where I can get a good amount of Red clover?

Even if the herbs don't shrink your heart, soda speak, they can help with the function to keep things in balance and working properly. And if you buy some red clover blossoms at the health food store, make sure it's organic, there are always a few ( or many) seeds in there. Just like growing catnip. Never have to buy seeds if you want to grow catnip. Just throw some dried catnip where you want it to grow. Along those lines, I put old rabbit cages over my catnip plants and let it grow and fill up the cages. Whatever grows through the wires is for the cats. the rest is mine. Keeps the cats from rolling in young plants and keep my tea from having too many cat hairs in it.

I did read that in the article CL sent me. Ive never seen any red berries on my trees though, so I am wondering what type of tree the hawthorn was crossed with to make it a hybrid... But then again, these are HUGE trees, and all the flowers are 20-70' in the air, so I really wouldnt be able to see them anyway. Plus we have lots of wild birds, and the article said that theyeat the fruit. So..?

If you dont mind me asking, what is the catnip tea for?

I love those people and they have such a great variety of birds. All my younger birds from last year came from there. But I lost 7 birds out of 23 and my neighbor lost 3 of 9 to what we are pretty sure is Cocci. I had a heck of a time keeping chicks alive. Please ask them how they are dealing with that this year. They were having a marathon of keeping baby chicks going also. A steady stream of babies going in to a nursing box. I think they must have gotten it under control but I am so gun shy of going there. That's why I am hoping to get my birds from you guys when I am ready. Too heart breaking to lose baby after baby.

And stop eating wheat for 3 weeks or so, and see what happens.
There is plenty of wheat free cake and bread mixes out there.
The kids can still eat most chocolate, potatoe chips, corn chips and you can make them cookies & cake.
Seriously, if I eat wheat, I am SICK, rashed, like itchy eczema, on arms, elbows, forhead and scalp, and generally itchy needles & pins all over.
Sometimes it can get so out of hand I end up with derma grafica, raised welts from touching anything..caused by the immunal system attacking the skin that merely had sensation (like a breeze or a comb throught the hair, or heat, or cold, sensation to the nervous system and the immunal system attacks !)
BTW: Blue Cheese cultures are grown in bulk on bread..and injected into the cheese wheels by giant hypodermic needles, that is why sometimes you get a hunk of blue cheese that has that arrow straight tunnel through it full of blue mold.
Gorganzola is the same.
Blue cheeses contain gluten.
Cut out wheat (gluten) and see what happens.

I have dark circles and I wondered what the heck that came from...??? And I have dairy and wheat allergies.
My daughter has eczema and it seems it is from dairy.
