supplements?

[patty_anne]

I posted today in the maladies area also because my Newf has an as yet undiagnosed problem. His white cell count is low and he may have a thyroid problem. I won't know for a while but I was wondering if it might be okay to start him on some type of supplement or holistic program just to try to improve his health overall? If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them. Also, I live in NJ and would like to know if anyone knows a good holistic vet in south Jersey?

Gosh. I think there is actually a holistic veterinarian organization where you can find practicing vets in your area.

I would say, as long as you are going to the vet also, it may not hurt to work on the immune system along with the digestive system. Just do that for awhile and see if it helps. You'll have to work with a vet of course, but you working on these other two systems in the mean time cannot hurt much. With the digestive system, sometimes something as simple as probiotics can make a difference. Both the digestive and immune work together in some instances.

I'll see if I can find that organization unless someone else posts it first.

Several good herbs exist to do that.
I combine myself but if you don't have access to the herbs,
www.petsage.com
I am not affiliated with these folks, but I can say their products are really good for us and others I know who have used them.

Okay try this link out!

You may want to try bee pollen. It is supposed to boost the immune system among other things for good health.
