Spirulina and Cushings

A rescue dog suffering was on medication for Cushing's disease.  However, last November the vet decided to discontinue the medication because the dog's cortisol levels were too low.  Last week a new lab test was run and the dog's levels were found to be perfect.  The only difference is that since November she has been self-medicating on spirulina.  The next lab test will be in three months so we will monitor the situation.  In the meantime this is very good news.

Zoopharmacognosy in Madrid

Thanks to Nuria and Ana of cap1clicker, the first zoopharmacognosy course held in MAdrid was an all-round success.  Thanks are also due to Marina who provided logistical support and acted as secretary recording the individual sessions.  

The dogs, as always, provided  the opportunity for us to learn many things and the human attendees took an active part which always makes for a more enriching course experience.
