AboutDr. Christina Chambreau Expertise I can give you the holistic approach to any problem in any species. Depending on the condition and the type of animal, I will be able to give very specific treatment suggestions such as what flower essences, homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements, diet changes, lifestyle changes or herbs that may be helpful. I can also suggest where you can go for further education or to find a specialist in a specific holistic field. I can help you understand why your animal is ill and what improvements can be expected. I do not check messages more than every one to two days, so PLEASE DO NOT ask about EMERGENCIES - call your local veterinarian. I cannot diagnose your animal. I cannot prescribe specific treatments. I am no longer very current with conventional treatments, so cannot answer questions on those. I am not an expert on birds or small critters. I will give you helpful connections about hose species.
Experience I graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1980 and began using homeopathy in my practice after a client introduced me to it. By 1988 I was using exclusively holistic treatments. I began lecturing in 1987 and have spoken at veterinary conferences, health food stores, people's homes, churches, veterinary college conferences - anywhere people want to learn more about keeping their animals healthy.

I just wanted to know if there is any necessary care of the nipples and mammary glands of my female dog. She had puppies which are now weaned. It's been about 1 week. Will she continue to sag or how long until her milk drys up?
How soon can I get her spayed.
Thank you.
Answer No special care is needed as long as her nipples are not cracked or sore. The sagging may not be milk, just stretched mammary tissue. It may or may not tighten up.
She can be spayed right now as long as no more milk is coming from the glands. Every surgeon is a little different, so I would call your veterinarian to schedule the appaointment and ask how long they prefer to wait after weaning.
