The "downdog"

Bobby had been sick for 2 days. He vomited and stopped eating.

But Bobby has always had his own way of curing himself since years ago. He would fast and do what we call, in yoga, the "downdog" pose. It's a dog stretch, but he would do it for a long time, maintaining that position. We have noticed that when he is sick, he would specially do this pose many times a day, and his tail would be down. The indication that he is recovering is to watch the tail. When the tail goes up during a downdog pose, it means he is getting well.

He got better today.  Now, he is on steamed chicken as well.  So, it's steamed chicken for the bouncing pixies and Bobby!

I guess it is not surprising that Bobby does the downdog since yoga positions are also derived from animal poses. And the downdog is especially recommended for us humans when we are sick too.

Animals know better?

So, we learn from them....

Altogether now...one, two, three...

Tails up? 

Alright, now you try...

Hi dear friend,
This is leili, I already had sent you some email about fifi. Some days ago I have found a little kitten which had stoned ears(I don't know what is the name of the Disease) I took it home and treat that with deflea spray. The kitten also looked had cold so I gave it chicken water and some B-complex drogs, I didn't wash him because I thought it may took his energy. the disease disappeared but he is very weak and can't eat food and when I force feeding him, sometime vommit. He has also diarrhea. today he has become worse and even can't move!Now I am not in a good financial condition to take it to vet again! Is there anybody to help me save this little kitten? I don't know what to do now! I am trying not to let his body become dehydrated (by forcefeeding) but it seems not enough to save him. please help me.(Ithink you have my mobile no. but again I write it down 0173847440)
