Polish Lowland Sheepdogs allergies - colitis
I'd like to say that we always use homeopathic remedies when treating the boyz allergies or illnesses. However , as far as I'm concerned the jury is still out as to whether they work. We have tried Sulfur Heel for the ear scratching but Zymox, which is decidedly non-homeopathic is the only thing that experience has shown is proven to work. Wilf suffers from stress and my recent trip away from home has brought on his stomach upset and colitis. Our marvellous vet has introduced us to a natural remedy that works and works quickly - NuxVomica. Despite my initial scepticism 10 drops of this liquid put on his dinner cures the symptoms very quickly with no side effects. Highly recommended.
2004 - We sell the farm in Scotland and move to the warmth of southern Europe. 2 lively Polish Lowland Sheepdogs - Wilf and Digby - our patient and comical companions. After a year in Provence we head to Italy to restore a hilltop Roman watchtower . Following an unpleasant 'housejacking' in late 2009 we set off for new adventures in South West Franceto get to grips with a large and exceedingly rickety old farmhouse. Empty nesters life after the violence of Italy has a gentler tempo. Digby passed on from piroplasmosis in May 2010. HIs brother, despite being diagnosed with cancer and having become blind ,soldiered on for another two years. Bob and Sophie joined us in 2013. Bob passed on in 2019. Sophie enjoyed the fresh air in Scotland after we returned in late 2022 but ran ahead in the summer of 23. This blog records all those little things about living with dogs that are too unimportant to make it into a diary but which make life, life.
