Question
my pitbull bit a puppy and a group of people were hitting her in the face mostly to let go .. after the fight she peed brown and i dont know why, i dont think its internal bleeding but im scared for her life what do you think it is and what can i do to help my girl ?

Answer
Severe stress can trigger some bleeding of the vessels in the bladder. I would not be too worried about it right now. A little blood goes a long way in urine. Watch her pee for the next few days. If it continues to be dark - see an integrative veterinarian. Learn Reiki and you might have been able to diffuse the stress of the encounter and maybe even prevented the biting. Keep a spray bottle of diluted Rescue Remedy at hand to spay on everyone during an episode like that (8 drops into 1 C water).

I am not at my computer, but read some of my previous posts for FIND A HEALER, and 7 KEYS TO HEALTH, REIKI and more.

Expertise

I can give you the holistic approach to any problem in any species, though mostly I work with dogs and cats. 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 - not drugs. 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.

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.
