Random bouts of diarrhea or vomiting is not normal or something we should just brush off as it happens. Or perhaps your dog is experiencing reoccurring diarrhea? You have tried antibiotics and it clears up the returns?

It could be a number of things from mycotoxins in the food, a pancreas flare up or inflammation in the body.

Did you know emotional stress causing cortisol spikes can put strain on the pancreas? Pancreatitis is not just caused by high amounts of fat. It's typical already an underlying condition that is flared by high fat, an injury or unexpected stress.

Sometimes it doesn't show up as just vomiting. After eating they may moan, groan, be agitated, not wanting to be touched. This are indications that there is pain and discomfort.

There is also two other conditions that is linked to pancreatitis call SIBO and EPI. It is possible to have a combination of all three as well.

So if you have been told to avoid high fat but your dog is still having issues, it might be worth exploring further. Diet matters depending on what condition your dog is suffering from.

At Integrative Canine Wellness we look at the whole picture not just the symptoms. While we cannot diagnose conditions, we can help you navigate testing and conditions to rule out with the help of your veterinarian.

What a great message from Shaleena!

There is nothing wrong with second opinions or integrating multiple professional perspectives.

Don’t feel bad for advocating or being the most informed about your pets health, mobility and wellbeing.

After all, they cannot openly tell us what’s wrong! You know as a dog owner how your dog is on the most personal level - their quirks, personality, odd behaviors, etc.

Don’t be afraid to advocate and trust your gut!

Hi! I wanted to share a photo of me and Rally doing something we love and share an important announcement with you all.
Rally and I love spending time in the forest, hiking mountains, swimming etc. To do this his body needs to be fueled efficiently and kept in tip top shape. Two years ago, this was not an option for us.

Rally had on and off pain, so we went to our vet. We go no real answers other then it might be this, so we went to another one and was told his knee was likely the cause. This didn't sit right with me. So we got a referral to a specialist.. Still no answer. We went to another vet while doing some rehabilitation exercises to try and see if we find a problem or replicate the pain as it was intermittent. Finally, we thought we were getting somewhere but soon hit a dead end again. Back to the specialist we went where I said I wasn't leaving until we did a CT scan and see what the heck was going on.

He had a partially herniated disc. Okay now we can work with this! He ended up needing surgery as his injury had been there for a prolonged period of time and no amount of rehabilitation would help.

Rally made a full recovery!

What's my announcement then? Do not be afraid to get a second opinion. Ask questions, seek out other professionals, try a canine physio or nutritionist. Sometimes we get things wrong and someone else might have more experience in that area or has possibly seen that same problem before. There are also alot of ways to help support your dog from the inside out and help speed up the healing process.

There are many things can be treated with nutrition, rehabilitation and time, including many diseases or conditions.

I understand money plays a huge factor on this as well. I am grateful I had insurance for Rally so it helped immensely when I was fighting for answers. We would have found them but it would have taken us alot longer.

Always advocate for your dog and don't be afraid to seek out another opinion. ❤️

One of the hardest parts of what we do is saying goodbye. ❤️

We are so thankful to be trusted with your dogs—to help them move better, feel better, stay comfortable, and continue doing the things they love.

But with that privilege comes one of the hardest parts of this job: hearing that one of our canine clients has passed.

We get to know these dogs. We learn their personalities, their quirks, what motivates them, what they love, and sometimes exactly how many treats it takes to convince them that physiotherapy really isn’t that bad.

And we get to know their families, too.

So when you lose them, our hearts hurt with yours.

Dogs give us an incredible amount of love in the time they are here, but no matter how many years we get with them, it never feels like enough.

To our families who have recently had to say goodbye, and to those carrying the loss of a beloved dog from years ago—we’re thinking of you. ❤️🐾

Thank you for trusting us to be a small part of their lives, their care, and their journey.

They certainly leave us far too soon, but the mark they leave behind lasts forever.

POV:

When your physiotherapist becomes your least favourite person… 😂🐶

Poor Quinn decided she officially had enough of Krista today.

After her PulseVet shockwave treatment, she made her feelings crystal clear… by marching over to her owner, turning her back on Krista, and facing the corner. 😅

“If I can’t see you… maybe you can’t treat me anymore.” 🤣

The good news? While shockwave isn’t always the most comfortable treatment and may be a little loud during the session, it’s incredibly effective for many injuries and painful conditions. Only 1-3 treatments required! The short-term “ugh” often leads to long-term “ahhh!” as healing gets underway.

Don’t worry—Quinn accepted treats afterwards, so we’re pretty sure we’re forgiven… eventually. ❤️🐾

Who’s dog has ever given you the cold shoulder after a vet or rehab appointment? Tell us we’re not alone! 😂👇

Apparently Maverick wasn’t about to let Krista have all the birthday attention… 🎉🐾

He spotted the birthday headband, decided it looked good on him, and patiently waited for his turn. We have to admit… he wears it pretty well! 💛

Happy Birthday to our Canine Rehab Practitioner Krista — from Maverick! (who clearly thinks every celebration should include treats… especially if they’re his). 🎂🐶🎈
