I also give them Ionic Minerals. Immune Support, Silica for the eyes teeth and bones, Multi Minerals as he was lacking in them, (example eating his poop) I have several Shih Tzus and always try to use natural cures. Example) My one Shih Tzu had intervertabal Disc disease causing her leg to drag. I went to my vet they wanted $ $$$$$ to operate and it might not work. On this web page I read someone's post on chinese herbs so I researched and got chinese herbs made up which I sprinkled on her food and within 2-3weeks she was running and 2 years later at age 12 she is like a puppy and rolls on her back. The medication my retired vet gave me which I gave Amos, for 4 days I will stop. Does any one know what I can do for him, as the my retired vet said that it was his teeth need cleaning, and my vet I know which he said being I know him 16 years will look at him and see what is up. But!! I know they will want to clean the teeth and start pulling teeth etc, it cost$$$$$$$$$$ if you know what I mean. They assume and tell me it is his teeth making his lymph nodes swollen. What does teeth cleaning have to do with swollen lymph nodes?? A bacterial infection is due to his immune system from what I have researched. Maybe from eating his poop??? Please post with answers on what I can do?? Appreciate your help.

Tonight I noticed a slight swelling on the side of my Italian Greyhound's face, under the right eye. She is 12 years old, healthy, but her teeth are in need of a cleaning and I'm not a fan of anesthesia, especially for an older dog and for Italian Greyhounds which are very sensitive to certain types. I've been using a vet strength oral care gel (primarily made up of grapefruit seed extract and grape seed extract) for several months now and that has seemed to be helping. I'm not positive the swelling is related to her teeth (do dogs get sinus issues?), but I'd like to try some natural remedies for teeth/gum care before taking her to the vet who will recommend tooth cleaning, which will require the anesthesia. I do know how serious tooth and gum health is to a dog's overall health, in particular the heart, so I'm not one to take unnecessary risks, but the risks of some of the common vet recommendation weigh heavy in my decisions too. And like most, this doggie girl is like a child to me. So of course, I'm eager to address this. Separately, I read the posts about tumeric as well as Hydrogen Peroxide for pets on this site. Any benefits in this situation? Thank you!

Is this a vitamin problem? Do they suffer the same way we do when they have teeth problems. She doesnt have problems eating, She still has all her energy but she loves a rope tuggy and really doesnt play with it anymore. what can I do to help? The vet didnt really reccomend anything at our last visit but I always prefer herbal treatments to actual medication. Thank you"
