easily which your vet should be able to provide for you. What does your dog weigh? Arthritis and its related pain are greatly improved by keeping your dog lean and eliminating any excess body weight. To check this you should be able to run your hands along either side of her ribs and easily feel but not see each rib and she should have a "waist" or a tucked up area just in front of the area where her back legs connect to her hind end.

Estrogens Estrogens have been used for a long time as HRT in post menopausal women. Estriol, a naturally occurring estrogen, is available as a licensed veterinary product and works by restoring the normal function of the urethral sphincter muscle, and increasing the sensitivity of the urogenital tract to adrenergic stimulation.

My dog peed in our house twice today. I was surprised because he'll usually bark at me and go to the door to go outside. I'm wondering if this is a sign of old age? They did think he might have Cushings awhile back but he's been acting so great since then I had wondered if they had misdiagnosed him. Could it be from the Cushings or old age? He's a maltese mix and he's 12. I just don't get why he didn't "tell" me that he needed to go.

Maybe -if it ain't broke, don't fix it....? If your dog is a happy, healthy, energetic good dog, then that's all the evidence you need to tell you he's doing just fine. Testosterone at too high levels can definitely cause problems, even cancers. And it might be hard for you to judge what is ok, and what is not.

Ever since I got my female dog fixed she's had problems with holding her urine. At times it will just come out. She was put on a med. from the Vet. Does anyone know of a generic brand or natural one that will do the same. I can't keep going back paying office visits everytime she needs a new med.

You may be interested to know that spaying female dogs before age 4 years of age decreases that dogs potential longevity or lifespan by 30%. Certainly have your dog spayed at any time and age you so choose. I hope this information is somewhat helpful for you.

I have no funds to take her in to get checked but i whole-heartedly believe in holistic healing. Anyone know of something natural for uti's? Her main symptom is accidents where she's been. She's an inside dog and thus its easy to keep track of where she's been, I just have to follow the puddloes.

While female incontinence is not uncommon after spaying, there are other reasons that it occurs. Have you had her examined by your vet to determine whether or not it is hormonally induced by the spaying? If it's hormonally induced, there are several things that can be used as a treatment, from estrogen to phenolpropanolamine to ephedrine.

Well it is a cyst but I am going t ocontinue the Lupron until Sunday am and go back for more bloodwork to check estrogen levels (today my estrogen was 276...is that really high?) and another u/s to see if the cyst will resolve itself. I had been telling DH that my side was feeling twingey for the past few days.

I have seen four OBGYN specialist's since then. Not one has given me any answers about after care. I am on Estrogen (low dose). My estrogen level is still low along with all the factors. I am having stoach pain, my skin is wrinkly, vaginal dryness, cracked nails, a lot of back pain, night sweats, I am pale all the time, sex forget it for the pain is unbearable, urin sprays all over, depression, mood swings and a lot more....Is there any advice out there for me reguarding what to do?

My dr put me on estrogen/testosserin, a low dow to help me with my labido. He did say that everyone around me should watch my moods to make sur eI'm not getting to aggressive or any thing. The dr put me on a low dose a made an apppt w/ me next week. He also gave me some levitra and some viagra. Ii just Don't know if I want to put anything extra in my body right now. However, I can't get another divorce and its been months my husband of only a few months is frusterated.

What a beautiful pup! It shouldn't take her too long to bounce back, but it could be a few days, realistically. Some dogs are straight away into their food, and on their feet, but some can feel the after effects of the anesthetic more than others, and may be a little off food for a day or two. Straight after the anesthetic wears off, don't be surprised if she refuses food. She may feel a little woozy or even nauseous.

[12] Though dystocia can sometimes be treated medically, allowing natural delivery to proceed, the majority of dogs and cats with dystocia require surgical treatment.[10-13] Most females recovery fully from c-sections, though the risks of such surgery are likely greater than those of a planned spay surgery due to the emergency nature of the procedure and the often compromised health of the female due to the dystocia.

Tybear, this is a bit long, but there is a lot to all this. I did type a brief note to you at the bottom of this...Mary ____________________________________________________________ Bioidentical hormones...Progesterone vs. Progestins. Here is what you have to do over the next few days before you go in and try to educate your doctor. Research. Write down notes...bullet points of comments. If you have Suzanne Somers' book, that is a good start.

I have another update as to what I am doing...I have just changed my dog's diet to **** Van Patton's Natural Balance. I am staying away from chicken, turkey, and beef. I am also ceasing feeding of the chicken and beef shanks, and will be feeding them **** Van Patton's wet food as well. I stopped by my Pharmacy today, and discussed my problem with Shadow. The Pharmacist advised agains using Ketoconizole or dermisil.

Add to this omnipresence the foods that have some estrogenic effects, and naturally, the foods are going to be blamed, because nobody wants to do without petrochemicals.

are you male or female? soy can really affect your hormones too. it's a natural estrogen and I know some women who have had a humdinger of a time due to using it. Have you been to the doctor for any additional testing? been tested for yeast and bacterial infections? Are you having frequent diarrhea or looser stools while on the medifast diet? How are you taking your acyclovir?

remember that they cut back on my estrogen....anyway, Reiss talks about estrogen related migraines and also sharp increases and declines in estrogen that can trigger the headaches. I had horrible headaches during perimenopause and got relief after the surgery probably because I was on the Vivelle patch. He recommended the patch (particularly Vivelle) in cases such as these since it gave a steady supply of estrogen and could be helpful to women prone to these headaches.

I appreciate your response and it's good to feel that that is an option, especially if things get a lot worse. of course we all would prefer our dog die a natural death. My last dog died suddenly of Congestive Heart Failure and it was so much easier. She was a 13 1/2 yr old Shih-tzu.

BHRTs are not unique in any way as the natural composition can be created over and over without patten infringement-because its a natural formula. Therefore limiting the price they can put on it as anyone who can compound, can make it and lower their price. So business wise... it's not a good investment to have what others can create in an open market... medical business 101. BHRT that is compounded is best recommended for individual application vice mixing it all up together.

I heard that it takes about 3 months for all your natural hormones to leave your system. I started on an Estrogen patch right away, Estroderm 50 and had it reduced to 25 last week as I have constant headaches from it. I tried going without it last week but sure had a lot of hot flashes and interrupted sleep. I think my skin got drier too. I am looking into bio-identical hormones at a compounding pharmacist (see a post called Hot Flashes a few weeks back).

I was also reading that we have estrogen receptors which get used to whatever estrogen we give them. If we are making estrogen naturally, then they are receptive to "natural"estrogen, so the bioidentical ones are readily accepted, if we start on synthetic ones, then it takes time for our receptors to open to those. Maybe thats what happened to me today also, I was getting even less then half the dose. Who knows, but it makes sense to me. Have you heard of that also?

It is just a few lines down and it was new yesterday, I think, and it was started by Tybear. It is a question about estrogen (HRT) and weight gain. You will see it. Even though your doctor will not have you on HRT (I personally think that is something you want to avoid, too) that (in my opinion) does not mean that the door should be shut to you actually being on a balance of estrogen (not HRT, which is actually a drug and not a hormone...talk about confusion, right?) and progesterone.

It is supposed to have three levels of fertility. It startes out low, goes to high as your estrogen increases, and goes to peak when you have a LH surge. It had me start monitoring on cd6, and has been reading high the whole time. If I don't get Peak soon, I am going to scream. What's going on with you?

But again, you don't need to do soy to get the isoflavones that are estrogenic (and they're only estrogenic, as is Black Cohosh, if your body needs estrogen, otherwise the body won't use the estrogen and will flush it out of the body as it does any other nutrient it doesn't need and that doesn't store in fatty tissue). Red clover sprouts are more estrogenic than soy. And there's black cohosh and other herbs.

)) and the information on the pill/cancer/estrogen and even some of the good effects of the synthetic estrogens (even tho there are still bad side effects) and how the progestins that have to be mixed with it messes up the good effects. The discussion was not only about the pill, but about synthetic HRT. You would be utterly fascinated with the information in that book. I know I push Northrup's book and I still will, but I would recommend supplementing it with Reiss's work.

Garlic is a natural do-it-all: it is known to inhibit the growth of viruses, bacteria, candida and certain parasites. It is also a wonderful mucus thinner and is often used to help clear up congestion in the lungs. Some women have experienced an increase in cervical mucus from using garlic. Recommended Dosage: Only fresh, raw garlic works. Garlic pills and cooked garlic are useless in terms of medicinal value.

Thus such conditions as pregnancy, or estrogen and androgen therapy do not affect the FT4. If no estrogen elevation is present (i.e. no birth control pills or pregnancy), Total T4, Total T3 are exceptable As long as doctor checks the FTs contraceptives should be ok. Don't menopause women have certain amount of estrogen in their system any way? and therefore would still need for the FTs to be used rather than the Ts. What makes you think you have a conversion problem? i.e.

testosterone that needs to be accounted for, but how much estrogen is present too. Estrogen is preferably bound over testosterone. An estrogen blocker may produce more positive results than adding testosterone. Besides, adding testosterone will shrink your, uh, you know, those two thingies under the other thingie.
