In the Chapter, "The Lost Art of Urinalysis," I describe two young dogs whose lives turn around once we isolated their individual pattern of imbalance causing a high urinary Ph in Lola, the Newfoundland and severe hematuria (blood in the urine) in Coco, the Aussie-doodle. If conventional veterinarians primarily looks at causative bacteria, they can miss some of the main imbalances which give rise to infections in the first place. In my book, Zen and the Art of Caring for Pets, I shine a light on various issues in our profession, two seemingly unrelated problems: One is veterinary burnout and the other is the lack of safe therapeutic options in chronic care. But by using botanical therapies and diet, patients can make miraculous recoveries. Clients are happier and in turn, veterinarians can experience a more fulfilled life dream to help animals. This chapter really emphasizes one difference between holistic and conventional medicine-whether you focus on the bacteria or virus or you focus on the immune system, that innate ability we all have to fight disease. If you or someone you know has a pet with chronic urinary issues, this podcast may be of interest to you.
