| cushing's disease in dogs diet: Healing Dogs Their Way: The Real Solutions Your Dog Deserves Marijke van de Water, 2018-04-10 A terrific and important resource for anyone who is serious about their dog's health and well-being, Healing Dogs Their Way takes a thoughtful and reasoned approach to the myriad of health issues facing modern dogs and offers a solid, practical approach to canine health. It is a book that, at once, lets owners know how best to feed and care for their dogs to keep them healthy and how to identify and treat their problems when something goes wrong. The author, with over twenty-five years of experience as a natural animal health practitioner and medical intuitive, also voices her concerns - and it ought to be a concern of all dog owners - that modern veterinary medicine is overly dependent on the pharmaceutical industry, and that while this alliance is not necessarily sinister, at least not on the part of vets, it has effectively reshaped the way health issues are framed and thus approached. This reshaping is now so pervasive that owners with suffering dogs have lowered their expectations in terms of canine quality of life to accommodate the shortcomings and side effects of pharmaceutical medicine. But this need not be the case as our dogs have many options. Whether you are a first-time dog owner or someone who has been around dogs all your life, this is an important and valuable reference. If you love your dog, it's up to you to safeguard their well-being and quality of life, and this book will help you do just that. |

| cushing's disease in dogs diet: Clinical Endocrinology of Dogs and Cats A. Rijnberk, 2012-12-06 Clinical endocrinology is a fascinating field requiring the challenging combination of broad pathophysiological interest and specific expertise in the field of endocrinology, thereby occupying a common ground between biochemistry, physiology and clinical medicine. In the majority of cases the clinician's notion of the presence of an endocrine disease is largely based upon pattern recognition, in which physical changes play an important role. Therefore many color illustrations have been included throughout the text. In addition there are many full color graphs and illustrations of diagnostic imaging and pathology. With over 350 illustrations the book represents a richly illustrated text on the diseases of endocrine glands. For each gland there is an introductory section on the relevant morphology and physiology, followed by descriptions of the disorders of the gland. When endocrine diseases are quite different in dogs and cats, separate descriptions are given for these species. Protocols for function tests and emergency treatments are presented in the last chapters. Consequently the book provides the user with both comprehensive descriptions and quick references. The book has been written by leading clinicians in the field, with contributions from two biochemists, a radiologist and pathologist. As such a valuable textbook for veterinary students and practitioners has been compiled to fulfil the need for an up-to-date and complete book on endocrine diseases of dogs and cats. |
| cushing's disease in dogs diet: Small Dogs, Big Hearts Darlene Arden, 2010-05-27 Small dogs can bring big rewards! Small dogs are charming, intelligent, and loving, but they can also be overly energetic, manipulative, and stubborn.

It features the very latest, safest, and fastest training methods for little dogs.

You'll find everything you need to know to train your little dog, from housetraining to house manners, in this updated volume. Small Dogs, Big Hearts follows the small dog from puppyhood through the senior years, giving advice on important topics such as: socialization housetraining behavior nutrition healthcare pampering your pint-sized pooch With lots of adorable photos, you'll see small dogs at their most charming while you learn to bring out the best in your little bundle of love. Darlene Arden is widely acknowledged as an authority on small dogs, and is the author of many books and articles about dogs and their care. A member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, she is a certified animal behavior consultant and a regular contributor to Animal Radio Network. Words of Appreciation for this book and its predecessor include: The voice of experience speaks about the hidden (and not so hidden) life of Toy dogs. Darlene Arden's sensible and practical advice is a must for would-be Toy dog owners. -Dr. Nicholas H. Dodman, Tufts University, Author of The Dog Who Loved Too Much Small Dogs, Big Hearts is an invaluable treasure of information... It includes every aspect of puppy care from infancy through adulthood. It is precise, beautifully written, and easily understood by both the professional dog exhibitor and the owner of a beloved family pet. Every person who contemplates purchasing a dog or who has a dog should own this book. - Victor Joris, AKC Toy Group Judge. Darlene Arden has come up with an informative book which, just like the little creatures that inspired it, manages to be of serious intent and at the same time entertaining. A thorough instruction manual for small dogs in general, it delves into the breed-specific joys and idiosyncrasies of these mini-sized canine charmers as well.- Lilian Barber, Author, The Italian Greyhound, 21st Century. For anyone who has owned a small dog, the best book ever written has been written by Darlene Arden. - Martha Smith, Providence Journal Bulletin. At last, we have a book devoted to Toy dogs written by an authority on Toy dog care...This book would be a worthwhile addition to any dog fancier's library. - Glenna Fierheller, Dogs in Canada. Arden's breezy, unassuming portrait of the Rodney Dangerfields of dogdom captures everything from their blue-collar feistiness to their charming insouciance. - Ranny Green The Seattle Times.

And if you're considering a change of dog to a smaller breed this book will help you to avoid what could be fatal mistakes. The Irrepressible Toy Dog provides good advice for anyone with a dog, but for the Toy person it's a gift of understanding that will shatter the myth that all little dogs are or should be nasty, snappy brats.

| cushing's disease in dogs diet: Paleo Dog Hofve Jean, Celeste Yarnall, 2014-06-03 For health-conscious pet owners, a natural, holistic guide to getting every canine back to his best, most primal state From the tiniest teacup poodle to the most massive Great Dane, dogs' digestive systems are pure wolf. Fido's ancestors enjoyed a diet that was 45–50 percent protein, 40–50 percent fat, and less than 10 percent carbohydrates. Walk down the pet food aisle, however, and you'll find that typical commercial kibble is made mainly of starchy ingredients like peas, potatoes, corn, wheat, rice, and oats—nothing a prehistoric pup would dream of eating. This healthy mix is proving anything but: About 85 percent of dogs eat commercial dog food, and at least half of them are overweight or obese, with cancer killing 42 percent of all dogs and half of dogs over the age of 10. So how do you feed a wolf disguised as a pug? Paleo Dog guides readers through an assessment of their dogs' diet and helps them find the right balance of healthy ingredients. In addition to recipes and nutrition info, the book offers advice on what treats are safe, training tips, minimizing veterinary care, the benefits of exercise and massage, and how to ensure dogs are receiving the love and attention they need. Paleo Dog is the ultimate manual for any pet owner who wants to give her pet the longest and best quality of life. |
