But:
* he would have had minimal vaccinations and so he had an immune system.
* And Monsanto's frankenfoods were absent.
* and water was not poisoned with fluoride
* and furniture was not poisoned with bromide for "flammability" excuses.
* and carnivore food was not filled with gut health toxins (teeth are affected by gut health) like fruit, vegetables and herbs.
* and the soils were not yet totally leached of all iodine content by use of chemical fertilizer.
So he would have had a chance to get the correct iodine for the health and strength of both teeth and thyroid.
How much Nori do they get to supply iodine?
How much fluoride and bromide do they get instead?
What toxins are they exposed to, such as ones in the list above.
IODINE is what makes teeth strong.
Flouiorde and bromide are not good substitutes although the body WILL absorb them if ther eis no iodine filling up all the spots needed.
Hyperthyroidism is a huge clue to the problem that iodine was not there and toxins were taken in insteasd.
I think Vicki's dogs ARE indeed suspected of hyperthyroidism.
There's your problem.
"Green powder" is toxic, it is very high in saponins that dogs (as carnivores) have no ability to digest and which are just poisons to carnivores... and that will kill gut flora as well as being toxic to the dog overall. So your dogs on this will have short chain fatty acids with too little butyrate (short chain fatty acids made by healthy gut bacteria) and too much propionate (the acetate is less affected - which sustains life but not health, and which fails to support the immune system and gut health. Those need butyrate.
More toxins.
Plant foods do not belong in dog meals.
But perhaps he had a food with some meat in it and no fruit, veg or herbs (and greens are worst).
GMos might be absent, as rice or wheat is common rather than GMO corn as filler.
His kidneys may have been another matter...
No..... not different breeds. Different diets and different constitutional types can make some difference, and immune system and gut health results of diet.
Vets get the wrong end of the stick as they deal with breeders.
When a breeder has ten examples of a breed, going to the same vet, the animals get the same diet (good or bad) and the same health issues as a result. The vet assumes this is a breed propensity, when it is actually the common environment and food chosen by ONE breeder, and passed on by tghe breeder to the people to whom she sells pups or kittens. "They are used to eating this, recommned that etc...." is considered good form for breeders.
Stop feeding toxins, (no "greens", herbs, fruit, or veg) and plan a healthy gut environment, (1/2 teasp cooked pumpkin a day for absorbable carotene and to feed gut bacteria), no vaccines or dewormers or other gut and immune system destroyers of course. Provide iodine via Nori. (Not kelp as the lignans in kelp are toxic to carnivores.)
Namaste,
Irene
