The Nubi juan Kenobi
21st Birthday Edition

Happy Birthday Nubi juan Kenobi

Greetings,

This special edition of the Four Paws Acupuncture e-letter is dedicated to our puppy cat, Nubi juan Kenobi who just turned 21 on December 4th. We would like to share everything we do to keep our boy healthy and happy. These tips may be applied to dogs (and humans!)

Nubi juan Kenobi is a rescue black cat who adopted us several years ago. His original name was Anubis, dubbed after the Egyptian Dog God of Death. This may explain why Nubi thinks he is a dog and a god. Since we did not want this sort of Deity roaming our home we changed his name to Nubi juan Kenobi.(He has other titles, Pope Nubius the Nubacious One, Mr Poose and GET DOWN FROM THERE. FAQ: Juan is not capitalized as i suffer from an ee cummings complex.

Doctor Nubi juan Kenobi is a certified paws-on-healer. licensed Claw-U-Puncturist and practitioner of the controversial Bite Therapy technique He has an excellent bedside manner and will provide comfort to his sick pet humans when needed. Dr Kenobi uses purr sound therapy and the massage technique known as Making Biscuits.

Below are the various rituals, supplements and therapies that keep Nubi healthy and happy. However, I believe the most powerful force keeping our boy alive is pure unconditional love. ❤ He is loved and he loves us.❤ We are grateful!

Wishing all a very happy holiday season.

Please kiss your dogs, cats, pigs, horses, birds and goats in honor of Nubi this month.

Laughing Wu Media: Books & Online Classes for People & Pets

Every morning and evening, Nubi gets a microwaved heating pad placed under a warm towel for him to nap on. He has arthritis which is made worse with cold damp weather. The heat helps warm up those old bones. And most cats love to nap in warm nest.

On extremely cold days we throw a small blanket or towel in the dryer for him to cuddle inside. Microwaveable heating pads can be found online. We use a small one made for humans. Larger animals may need a bigger size.

While Nubi is napping in his cozy nest, we play the Sapien Medicine Animal Regeneration Youtube as background music.

Hyland's Arnica Montana 30x for Pain

Arnica Montana is a safe and mild homeopathic pain reliever. It can be used for animals & humans. Nubi has one tablet crushed in his wet food in the morning and if needed another in his afternoon snack or dinner.

Larger animals and humans can take two tabs twice a day. Arnica will not interfere with medications or cause loopy side effects.

I recommend the Hyland's because it is easy to dissolve in food and the bottle does not take a rocket scientist to open, unlike the Bioron brand. Hylands Arnica Montana may be found online and most vitamin shops.

Depending on his mood and symptoms, Nubi has regular acupressure, moxibustion and tuning fork sessions. On rare occasions he does get acupuncture, however he thinks it is extremely funny to pull the needles and run off with them! (Dogs are much more cooperative with acupuncture!)

Mercola Mushroom Complex for Pets

As many of you know, I am a fan of medicinal mushrooms for animals and people. In my experience, the Mercola Mushroom Complex is the best formula, reasonably priced and easy to find online. And the most important thing is.... it works!

Medicinal mushrooms help boost the immune system, provide nutrients, and help find cancer, tumors and other scary diseases. I recommend these to all of my animal patients and I take the human version myself.

Nubi gets a small amount of the mushrooms in his wet food about once a day. We do give his body a break from the mushrooms every few weeks for at least a week or so, then resume.

Can be found on Amazon & Chewy and other online shops.

Nubi has a roomie, Miss Luna miso Poosie Toes, who pretty much avoids him because in her own words " He has boy cooties." Luna is a 15 yr old rescue with double-paws and extra toes. Even though these two have lived together for 14 years, they still do not get along! Luna has claimed Norm's office for her own domain. She has her own heating pad, bed and feeder. She hangs out with Norm during working hours and loves to send anonymous emails to his co-workers. Occasionally she chimes in during zoom meetings.

When Nubi is in one of his feisty jealous moods and starts to harass Luna, we give him the Bach Flower Holly Flower Essence. Holly is an excellent flower essence for jealous pets and rivalry.

Nubi is grateful for the excellent veterinary care when needed from the dynamic duo, Dr Leslie Swieko of Our Family Veterinary Services and her husband, Dr Story of Atlantic Vet Hospital.
