Excellent

I have personally dealt with cushings disease, diabetes, blindness, deafness, IBD, hypertension, arthritis, pain, discomfort, antibiotic treatments which were as disabling as they were helpful, incontinence, emotional issues (loss of confidence, fear of noises), inability to stand or walk, from my canine companions. I have found that alternative treatments and medicine definitely have their place for every living creature. In order to understand where to start, no matter what ailment, this Book will lead you in the right direction. I have read many holistic/alternative health care books and this Book is laid out with such an easy to read/comprehension fashion, and yet contains so much helpful information. Ms. Levin's Books not only explain the disease and treatment, but give an excellent explanation of how these things come about; afterall, Prevention is the key. She also gives multiple choices of things which can be done to assist you. Her Books are so comprehensive, you can clearly see that it is a Labor of Love. I have utilized homeopathic medicines, herbs, glandulars, supplements, traditional medicine, and TTouch. It is difficult for our western style of thinking to accept that which we cannot explain. There is so much greatness everywhere which cannot be explained. If you can remain "open" and have "faith" then you can watch little miracles happen when utilizing other modalities of therapy, alternative medicines and lifestyle changes for your pets; which are all reviewed in her Book. Sure, western medicine definitely has its place, we have so much to be grateful for. I feel that there is a good place to be with kindness and appreciation of all things. One brief personal experience; our Lab, who could no longer stand up or walk for weeks, miraculously stood up and walked after one session of TTouch, which this Book touched on briefly; but, again, choices you make can make a difference. This Book is what a good future holds for how we treat our companion animals. It is the reference point for where we start to understand and change our standards of treatment of a whole host of ailments. Bravo, Ms. Levin. May life allow you to continue with your grand contribution to all.

the prompt response to get this book was first class, and the aid it gave us was good for the benifit of the Dog.

The best source of information!

To all of you that have a pet that suffers from seizures this book is a must have. I am rating this book as a life saver.I have a baby , Lucilu who showed her fisr sign of Epilepsy over a year ago. In the past year we did and tried everything immaginable we did brain scan, spinal tap to R/O tumor. They put her on Pb and Kbr and every few months had to increse her doses, she became hyothyroid from the med's, elevated liver enzymes and more. I also contacted a holistic vet who recommended an array of natural product, all seemed to help, but we were still having seizures.I started to surf the net for information, and learned of Caroline Levin "Thank God". Caroline hit it right on the nose get Lucilu off grians either consider the BARF dirt or cook for Lucilu. After thousands of dollars and much heartache , Carolinewas right on the money, lUCILU HAS NOT HAD A SEIZURE SINCE THE INCEPTION OF HER NEW FOOD PLAN, ALL THANKS TO CAROLINE LEVIN.... Lucilu and I will be forever grateful to her, and wish her and her family much happiness and success!Sincerly,Laurie & Lucilu

Outstanding resource

"Canine Epilepsy" is phenomenal and I'd give it 10 stars if I could! This book details countless aspects of canine epilepsy: brain function, new research on cell membranes, diagnostic tests, seizure triggers and cycles, customary medications, holistic treatments, emergency situations and so much more. At nearly 200 pages, it's quite a book! In Chapter 1, Ms Levin begins by comforting and supporting the dog owner. She acknowledges common feelings of grief and explains how some people get stuck in a phase of denial or hostility. ... Levin explains things in compassionate and understandable language, which is very unlike texts written for vets. How wonderful it is that she has written especially for us - the dog owners! ... "Canine Epilepsy" provides tons of practical and insightful information. Ms Levin has written an IMPORTANT book and it's going to make some people jealous.

Excellent all around book on Epilepsy

Living with a dog with Epilepsy for almost 2 years now, this is truly the best book on Canine Epilepsy that I've seen to date. You did an outstanding job of research and presentation.I have already loaned my copy of this book to a very close friend, whom I am sure when she is finished will be purchasingone and recommending to friends also.I have heard nothing but positive and absolute wonderful comments concerning this book! These comments come from people like myself, who are living and dealing with Epilepsy on a daily basis. The one comment I hear frequently, is that we all wish we had this book in the beginning; it would have saved us much time and heartache.
