Thank you for caring about Hobson and your comment about his photo. His skin and coat were starting to improve but I recently gave him a probiotic recommended by an holistic vet and even though I started Hobson off on a minimal dose, the probiotic has been far too strong. Hobson has developed systemic yeast infection which is a life-threatening condition and causes immune, auto-immune, endocrine, allergy and digestive problems. A vet dermatologist would have euthanased Hobson long ago. The probiotic caused the bad yeast cells to die, which is a good thing, but because it was too strong, too many yeast cells died too quickly which placed huge stress on Hobson's entire system. Over the past week I have been worried that Hobson was going to die again. Fortunately I stopped the probiotic but it has taken weeks for the yeast to stop dying. When the yeast dies it comes out through the skin of a dog and this in itself causes extreme itching. There are dead yeast cells everywhere in the house! Poor Hobson! But he has kept fighting and today, thankfully, he seems much better. Best wishes xxxx
Hi Karen, Thank you for favouriting my blog about Khatalyst. I am pleased you like her, and the videos too. Hobson has not met Khatalyst yet. I won't be allowing Hobson to wander with Khatalyst the way he does with Hallmark and Charlamayne because of his blindness. Misty greets Charl the way she would a male English Setter, so for a while Misty will only be getting to know Khatalyst on the other side of the fence. Hobson continues to recover but he has a long way to go yet. I hope you and your family are all well. Best wishes, Susan xxxx

Hi Karen, It is good to hear from you. It is supposed to be in the DNA of White Faced Herons to avoid human beings, but Sam has never been like this with me. He appeared "out of the blue" on 1 October 2008, the day after my Arabian Horse, Khomet would have turned 18 years old if he had not died on 13 April 2008. I feel as if Khomet has sent Sam to me. I am still struggling financially and hope I can find a decent paying job soon because it would break my heart to leave Sam. Love from Susan and all her animal children xxxxx
Thank you so much for your words. Pi really is a fighter and has learned to enjoy her new lifestyle. I'm just glad I get more time with my very special girl!
I hope you are both well. I have not heard from you for a while. Orla must be a big girl now. I hope to hear from you soon and see some photos of Orla. Hugs from Susan, Hobson, Misty & Co. xxxx
