Dog Health Problems

Common Dog Health Problems – The 20 Most Common & How to Treat Them by Lauren Quinlan
Common dog health problems are like weeds.
If you get weeds in your yard or garden, how do you remove them? There are three ways, and the effectiveness of each method directly correlates with how you tackle your dog’s health issues…
- Cut them
- Spray them with weed killer
- Pull out the entire weed and its roots
Cutting weeds at the stem is similar to only addressing your dog’s symptoms (like applying cream to a rash). On the surface, the problem will go away, but the underlying root will eventually cause the weed to grow back.
Spraying weeds is like giving your dog manmade medicine to fix a problem. The weeds don’t like it and will probably die, but the weed killer will also affect the surrounding healthy lawn. And after all of the weed killer washes away, the weeds will likely return.
This is the only sure way to completely get rid of a weed, just as going after the root cause of a health issue is the only completely effective way to treat it.
So how do you address the “root problems” of your dog’s health issues?
Incorporate the right combination of holistic and conventional treatments into your dog’s care.
Think about it…
If you only treat your dog with conventional methods, you only address the symptoms and not the cause of the symptoms. Here are some examples of how conventional medicine and techniques only address the symptoms and not the underlying cause…
- Warts. Cut them off. They grow back.
- Allergies. Give them a pill. The pills stop, the allergies come back.
- Skin problems. Apply a cream. The problem goes away, then months later it returns.
Treating your dog holistically addresses the root cause of problems. It gives your dog’s body the ability fight all health problems forever, not just one problem at a time as they come up. Caring for your dog in this way includes…
- A different approach to vaccinations
- A healthier diet
- Appropriate exercise
- Natural treatments for acute issues (medicines whose chemical compositions have not been changed by humans)
- Natural treatments in concert with conventional treatments when appropriate (sometimes the “best of both worlds” is the most effective)
The downside of a holistic approach is that it requires patience. But your dog will thank you for it!
Dog Illnesses usually do not develop overnight. While the physical manifestation of a problem (like a rash or wart) may just “show up” one day, it is likely that the problem has been brewing in your dog’s system for some time.
To reverse your dog’s ailment, a similar amount of time may be needed. Your dog’s immune system will be learning how to fight off the issue (and keep it away) on its own for the long-run, and this doesn’t usually happen right away.
Generally speaking, the longer a problem has taken to develop, the longer it will take to treat holistically.
All the way from diarrhea to cancer, the 20 most common dog health problems (http://www.organic-pet-digest.com/common-dog-health-problems.html) can all be treated more effectively through the right combination of holistic and conventional care, including…
- Allergies
- Constipation
- Cancer
- Diarrhea
- Ear problems
- Epilepsy
- Eye problems
- Flatulence
- Fleas
- Incontinence
- Lice
- Mange
- Pink Eye
- Skin conditions
- Ticks
- Urination problems
- Vomiting
- Warts
- Worms
- Yeast Infections
Symptoms Should Get Worse Before They Get Better
Interestingly, when you treat your dog holistically their symptoms may actually appear to get a little worse before they get better. This is what you want! It means that your dog’s body is tackling the problem on its own.
And while the main symptom may get a little worse before it gets better, you’ll usually notice the rest of your dog’s health and mood start to improve right away.
You’ll know the treatment is working if you see your dog’s symptoms do any of the following…
- Stop migrating to other parts of the body
- Stay on the skin (or move there) and out of the internal organs
- Move away from the head and vital organs and towards the outer extremities and lower body
- Stop effecting the mind, including mood swings or fatigue (in the wild, this allows dogs to keep their survival instincts at their peak)
For instance, if your dog’s health problem effects the internal organs, before the holistic treatment you may not see any issue on the outside of the body. After treatment, the body may push the disease away from their organs and head, so you may see a rash develop on their feet or towards the back of their body. This usually means that your dog’s body is doing the right thing and is on the road to recovery.

Health and Health Care as Social Problems $67 This engaging and accessible reader takes a social problems approach to health and medicine, providing a broad and critical lens on contemporary health problems. Designed for courses on social problems and on medical sociology, the volume embraces two fundamental principles: that health and illness are at least partly socially produced, and that health care is not an unfettered good and often brings with it serious social problems. The volume is organized into six sections, addressing the medicalization of human problems; the social construction of health problems; social movements; gender; race and class and the provision of health care; and medical accountability. Taken together, the essays demonstrate the depth and richness of a social problems approach to health and medicine, and the critical perspective it brings to our understanding of health and illness in U.S. society.

Excerpt: Bubba (c. 1982 – August 22, 2006) was a Queensland grouper who resided at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois . Bubba is believed to be the first fish to undergo chemotherapy . He was often nicknamed “The Super Grouper.”History The 69.3 kilogram Bubba was donated to the aquarium in 1987 by an anonymous donor; at the time he was a female about ten inches long. Bubba switched gender to male (being a protogynous hermaphrodite ) in the mid-1990s and eventually grew to 154 pounds while living in the aquarium’s “Wild Reef” shark exhibit. In 2001, Bubba developed an unusual growth on his forehead, which was eventually diagnosed to be malignant ; the aquarium called in veterinarians to remove the growth surgically and treat Bubba with chemotherapy that year, and again in 2003 when it regrew.Shedd officials stated that Bubba was popular with cancer survivors, especially children, and was a favorite of visitors. The oncology department of Hope Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois recognized Bubba with a tile in the ward. Bubba died in August 2006, presumably due to problems with his health that were related to his old age and medical history.

Poor skin health can sometimes be traced to dietary insufficiencies or imbalances. Problems with the skin and coat are never just cosmetic. Symptoms such as hair loss, thinning coat, dullness, dry flaky skin, excessive scratching, thickened skin, infections, and odors can often be traced back to either a shortage or an excess of a specific nutrient. In fact, there is no more visible indicator of problems with your dog’s overall health than problems with the skin and coat. The right nutrients in the right proportions are indispensable to keeping your dog healthy. Why Avocados? Many of the nutrients your dog needs for a healthy skin and coat can be found in the remarkable fruit known as the avocado. Nutrient rich avocados contain vitamins A, E and C in abundance. They’re also an excellent source of balanced nutritional essentials for your dog’s skin and coat healthand good health in general. Avocados are high in folate, potassium, niacin, essential fatty acids, and many other nutrients. They have no cholesterol, very little sodium, and are high in monosaturated fats.
