Supplements and nutrition: Short, actionable write-ups on spotting vitamin deficiency signs, herbs like shepherd’s purse, and newer supplements such as secretin — what they may help with and safe ways to try them.

Quick tips you can use today
Check a pharmacy: Look for a physical address, a licensed pharmacist name, and a verifiable phone number before ordering meds online.
Track symptoms: When starting or stopping a drug, keep a simple daily log — blood pressure, sleep, digestion, or mood — to spot real changes fast.
Protect your stomach: If an antibiotic or metronidazole upsets your pet or you, add gentle probiotics and keep fluids steady; call your vet or doctor if symptoms worsen.
Mind food interactions: Grapefruit can change how some statins work. If you hate giving up grapefruit, ask about grapefruit-friendly statins like pravastatin or rosuvastatin.
Book routine checks: Regular eye exams and basic blood tests pick up problems early — redness, vitamin gaps, and electrolyte issues show up long before they feel serious.
