I made a spreadsheet to try to keep track of what I give to Kali every day. I am not the best at keeping up to date with the spreadsheet, but the fact that I made it helps me kind of keep track of it in my mind.
Sometimes it can vary a little but this is the basic gist.
You can see pics of the supplements I give her in this https://photos.app.goo.gl/Q7Fyug2r6TA8GALu9
I love this syringe I got at pet food express because it's very big and that makes it much easier for me to suck up the liquid that i've mixed up. Adding about a teaspoon of manuka honey (MGO 350 from Costco) definitely helps it to go down easier.
The syringe sells for just about five bucks on amazon.
I was debating getting that syringe because I had just bought a $10 syringe from walgreens the night before, but honestly I like this larger one much better, it was definitely worth it. We spend so much time mixing and measuring and doing all this stuff for our dogs with cancer, anything I can do that saves me time, but doesn't cost too much, is worth it.
I was previously using just a little dropper that was from a used-up bottle of essential oil. It took fooorrrrever to use that tiny little dropper, with all the things I wanted to give to her. This exact type is way easier because it sucks up so much liquid.
At first I was even using this syringe to give her kind of thick stuff like astragalus powder, and ground-down apricot seeds. but I have since realized that those thicker things can be made into a paste with manuka honey, and spread onto chicken, or I just dip pieces of chicken in it. This keeps the syringe from getting clogged up. When it did get clogged up I was able to just kind of rinse it out, but that is time consuming, so I would rather just avoid that.
Then I make this separately.
Chicken dipping sauce:
- 1 tsp manuka honey, 350 MGO
- 1 tsp ground astragalus powder ( i bought dried astragalus root from a chinese grocery store and just ground it up, to save money). The bag I got looks kind of like THIS. I'm not saying everyone should buy this kind, it's probably just as easy to get the powder, i will generally get whatever brand has good reviews and is at a low cost per ounce. I would be perfectly fine buying a brand like this off amazon. Just about five cents an ounce. https://amzn.to/4gdF30b
- 1 rounded tsp apricot seeds, ground in my nutribullet (I am now at about 10 seeds per day, with no side effects).
I started off slowly with the seeds, 1 and a half per day, then increased gradually, and now i'm at ten per day... five in the morning and five at night. But I think i'm going to try to increase to twenty per day... gradually, but she is tolerating those seeds really well. I gave her 10 seeds in the manuka honey with chicken last night and she showed NO negative side effects.
At night, i give this to her in the big syringe.
What I mix in a small glass (don't have links for everything yet, but we'll try to get them posted)
Moringa powder, about a teaspoon.
- MCT oil, 1 tsp
- CBD / THC drops, 1 dropperful
- Black seed oil, 1 tsp
- NaturVet probiotics, 1 tsp
- Ombre probiotics, 1 capsule
'- Liquid milk thistle / glutathione/ dandelion extract, 1 dropper
- Alpha lipoic acid, 600 mg
- B complex liquid drops ( important to take along with alphyleopolic acid, which can deplete b vitamins) https://amzn.to/4nlVYQB
I don't necessarily consider these essential, i just had these already so I throw it in.
- pumpkin seed oil capsule (i bite a tiny hole in it and then squirt it out)
- Dandelion root, 5 drops
Will update this again soon, with links. when I have time!
