Not enough time to learn more? Have questions about healthy lifestyles or healing approaches?
The last Friday of each month, from 11:30 to 12:30 eastern time, Dr. Jeff Feinman and myself are on a zoom call answering your questions
On the August Q/A the following were covered - maybe one answers a
question you have or prompts you to think differently.
- A kitten has been eating strange things like silk plants, which can be an early warning sign of an underlying imbalance if more than just normal exploration of a toddler. Especially with kittens (or puppies) Dr. Hofve says it is important to check the cat's diet. As always mental/physical stimulation is often what is missing. Energy healing modalities to address the root imbalance.
- A
22-year-old rescue cat has had a history of urinating outside the litter box and the urine tests were normal. This could be related to abandonment, grief, or litter box problems. Working with an animal communicator can help determine what the issues may be. One of my cats told the communicator that no cat should ever have to use a litter box because they always smell, even when new and he needed different substrates depending on how he felt.
Another way to find quick, reliable
answers for free is to read the Forum Q/A and take the 101 health course.

BREATHING PROBLEMS
Herbs
Dr. Cynthia Lankenau presented a webinar
for Holistic Actions on herbal remedies for respiratory health and covered much more that you can do to prevent problems, especially if you have dogs or cats anatomically predisposed to breathing problems.
Here are some key takeaways:
- Use Plants: 🌱Spider plants are pet-safe plants naturally cleanse the air your pets breathe.
- Whole-Pet Wellness: Respiratory health is part of overall well-being
so the keys to health we discuss here are important. Nourishing food, fresh air, and a loving environment all play crucial roles. Remember they live near the floor, so be mindful of house cleaning products, new rugs and furniture. Appropriate exercise and your mindset are equally important.
- Breathing Tip: For mild stuffiness, try sitting with your pet in a steamy bathroom. The warm, moist air can be very soothing.
- The Wisdom of
Herbs: Individualizing herb selections can be based on your pet needing "cooling" or "warming" herbs. Like a gentle hug for your pet's respiratory system, herbs can soothe or invigorate as needed.

check out all the organizations after reading this article.
And Dr. Jeff reminds us that, breathing itself can help heal many problems, especially behavioral ones.
A snuffle mat really increases sniffing, therefore respiration - we have even seen cancer go into to remission just by using
a snuffle mat 2-3 times a day.
Another fun game for mental health that involves sniffing is Hide and Go Treat.
Scatter or hide treats around your house or yard (even in the snow during winter) in places your dog or cat can actually find and enjoy. If in the house be sure they are found.
Start by guiding your pet to search in certain spots and celebrate their success when they find a treat! This game also helps stimulate a cat’s hunting
instincts, fostering a deeper connection with their environment.
Homeopathy is often the first and best choice for any acute illness. You can learn to do this yourself (like for non-life threatening kennel cough) by studying webinars at Holistic Actions, or using books like Don Hamilton's Homeoapthic Care of Cats and Dogs.
However, acute illnesses often stem from chronic ones. Chronic
remedies, carefully prescribed, address deeper, long-term imbalances in the body's vital force or energy and are individual to each animal.
Do you work with a homeopath already? Many homeopaths offer consultations over the phone if you can't find one locally - click here to find one.
Your
health can affect your pet's breathing issues. Try this now: Take a slow, deep breath—perhaps count to five—and notice how and where it feels in your body. Hold it for a few seconds. Savor it. Then, let it out as slowly as you can, and observe how the next breath comes effortlessly, always here, always for us.
Also, when you are stressed, very very slowly pet your dog or cat from head to tail, focusing while you slowly
breathe!
