Dr. Marlene Siegel Pasco Veterinary Medical Center www.pascovet.com 813-973-2929 Most people can't feed themselves a balanced diet, let alone be dedicated to learning how to properly feed their pet. Contact me for specific commercially available diet recommenda ons or books on how to formulate a balanced raw diet. Lack of exercise may contribute to diabetes. Regular aerobic exercise is needed to maintain healthy weight and muscle tone. Strive for 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 4 days a week (you need it too!) Symptoms of diabetes can develop gradually and include the following: 1. Increased thirst and increased urina on 2. Increased appe te 3. Weight loss 4. Lethargy and sleeping more 5. Vision problems 6. Weakness in rear limbs (occurs in cats) where they walk on their ankles 7. Recurrent urinary tract infec ons 8. Kidney failure Treatment involves injec ons of insulin twice daily. I educate clients on feeding a species appropriate diet, working on diges on, gut health and repair along with necessary lifestyle changes. Owners of diabe c animals should be monitoring their pets glucose levels on a regular bases using home glucose monitors. I have successfully reversed diabetes in some animals through diet and lifestyle modifica on! Could over vaccina on lead to autoimmune disease affec ng the endocrine glands? Another highly debated topic is how much vaccina on is really needed. Decisions on what vaccines are needed/ required should be based on risk of exposure, lifestyle factors and government regula ons. Titers are blood test that can determine if re-vaccina on is necessary, and for exactly which disease. The op on of using homoprophylaxis (vaccina ng with homeopathic products) may be an op on for some pets. Steps To Hormone Health 1. Feed a species appropriate raw diet with probio cs like homemade milk kefir. Ask me for specific brands. 2. Provide the best water source available. I recommend Echo Molecular Hydrogen Water made by synergyscience.com. This water is available as a home unit, has one of the best filtra on systems on the market, produces molecular hydrogen (one of the most potent an oxidants found in nature) and it contains intrinsic homeopathic frequencies. 3. Remove household chemicals, clean with green natural products. 4. Wash laundry and dishes in organic products (and no sodium lauryl sulfate). 5. Have an EMF home inspec on to see where or what EMF pollu ons exist in your home. My office offers home inspec on and mi ga on services: 813-973-2929. 4. The challenges our pets face today with chronic disease and cancer is rising drama cally. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expec ng a different result. Be open to learning and taking baby steps to improve the life of your pet. Preven ng disease always produces be er outcomes than treatment a er the fact. Page 44 | Abby's Magazine - www.AbbysMag.com
