Our pup, Ladvarian, hasn't been feeling so wonderful. Sunday night he was coughing through the night and Monday afternoon running a doggie fever at 103.5 (normal temp for a dog is 101 to 102.5). His temp was normal by the evening but I was still worried (really freaked out in reality). It could be allergies, a cold (like kennel cough he could have picked up at the dog park) or something worse like distemper (though he was vaccinated so that lessons the chance of that greatly) we don't know yet and I am hating this. This has been a really hard week for me.
We feed our animals a raw food diet and fast them from time to time, usually a liquid fast. When a cat or dog isn't feeling well this can really improve the situation. We found with our cats that 'Anitra Frazier's High-Calcium Chicken Broth' found in her book The New Natural Cat: A Complete Guide for Finicky Owners
I want to share the recipe in case anyone finds themselves needing this though it doesn't have to be just because the animals sick, it's healthy to fast them from time to time anyway and this is also a healthy "treat". It does take some time and effort but I swear to you it's totally worth it!
