Hello Friend,

Re: Not lucky

//////////////////////////////////////////////

A BIG Hi to you and your pets this Monday morning.

-------------------------------------------
Not lucky
-------------------------------------------

Hola ( meaning Hello in Spanish) to you Friend, from Costa
Rica.

I am at the end of a much needed and quite enjoyable family
vacation.

In general, dogs and cats in Costa Rica do NOT get the same
respect or treatment as in North America.

Many a stray dog and cat are seen whereever we go- and most are
pretty skinny.

The dogs inevitably have some form of lameness from a Hit by Car.

Most of the locals either can't afford veterinary care, or don't
value their pets enough to spend it.

One super friendly older Tico we talked to first didn't
understand HOW as a veterinarian I ONLY worked with dogs and
cats.

Then he didn't really get WHY we as a family have 2 dogs and 2
cats.

And he thought we were LOCO for allowing the dogs to sleep in our
beds!

----------------------------
Chaco
----------------------------

At one Hostel we stayed at there were 5-7 perros ( dog in
spanish) always hanging around..now were owned by the owners

One little chihuahua cross dog had a permanent head tilt, a
deformed back leg, and would walk with a lilt to the left..

I asked the owners of the Hostel- apparently he has been that way
for years as a result of a serious car accident..and he has NEVER
seen a vet.

He 'got over' his injuries, and now just hung around the visitors
in hope of attention and food ( which my children supplied)

There is no such thing as the ASPCA or any other organization
protecting companion animals.

------------------------
My point in all this?
------------------------

That our dogs and cats are pretty fortunate in North
America...for that I am grateful.

They are valued, respected, given decent health care, and
protected.

We even have animal shelters..now that is UNHEARD of here in
Costa Rica.

Be thankful that you LIVE where you live.

Be grateful for your pets.

Help those who can't help themselves by supporting your local
animal shelter or rescue organization.

P.S. We met a local wildlife veterinarian who spends most of her
time helping save injured squirrel monkeys and sloths!

Most interesting.

But as to using any alternative medications, she has no
education.

She was given ONLY conventional 'western' education...hmmm and
she lives in the Rainforest where so many of these medications
come from.

I had her use some Aloe on a local infected area of skin on a
Squirel monkey.

And then use the leaves from a Lime tree for a
nutritional/medicinal tea ( for us!)

SO it's NOT just in North America that doesn't value or teach
holistic treatments..

My belief is that YOU can get the basics down yourself...and
begin using the Herbal and natural healing modalities on your own
dogs or cats.

The EASIEST way to start is here:
