You can do the same with ACV or herbs or whatever. Just make sure the bowls are properly labeled so you know which is which. And don't let your monkey mind interfere or tell you that more is better. Let her tell you that. If she prefers the borax (or ACV or whatever), increase by tiny amounts. And watch out for signs that it's "better than nothing" rather than "the thing she needs". It may not be exactly what she needs but, rather, merely something that contains something the body can use. Whether for whatever your monkey mind is trying to affect or for something else.
The best thing you can do is pay attention - I.e. keep your puny, human, monkey mind out of the equation as much as possible and let the animal's own body do all of the talking.
Confinement is the worst thing about keeping "pets". It prevents them from hunting for what they need, leaving them at the mercy of the stupid, puny monkey mind of man.

My lovely little cat of age 20 years unforunately has arthritis. Her weight is 2.5 kilograms.
Is Borax in this stage still effective?
And which doses can I give to her, if effective?

Seeking Help for Dog With Chronic Kidney Disease Shereen (Mallorca Spain) on 09/05/2025
Looking for some advice my 8 year old dog, who is now 33 kilos, Retriever Labrador, now has chronic kidney disease. I see apple cider vinegar is suggested but exactly how much? Should it be diluted in water and how much water. Does it need to be a special type? Is there anything else natural she should be taking that will help her recovery? She is on a prescriptive diet of Hills food for kidneys and medication prescribed by the Vet.
Many thanks in advance.

I never noticed a change in urine color from borax.

I took my 3 yr old Doberman mix to Longview Lake Park which is just 2 min from where we live. I take him there several times per month and there are rarely any other dogs out there when we go and last night there were no other dogs there.
When we got in the car to start driving home my boy Doberman mix began licking the air incessantly and couldn't stop. I thought he was going to throw up so I drove home as quick as I could. When he got out of the car, he immediately started eating grass. I let him in the backyard where there was plenty of water and grass.
30 min later he wanted in and he was hacking as if something was caught in his throat. He was still doing some licking in the air. I offered him some chicken jerky treats that I buy at Walmart and I offered him the one that has cassava root in it, which he rarely eats and he ate 5 of the Chicken jerky treats.
Then he proceeded to drink water over and over again and cough and gulp the air as if something was in his throat for 2 hours. I finally realized he had all the signs and symptoms of what vets call Kennel Cough.
I did a google search and found a thread from 2012 where Ted replied to a person in Chiang Rai that had a kennel with lots of dogs that often had Kennel Cough or Flu in Dogs and Ted recommended Lysine along with a couple of other things.
The only thing I had on hand was powdered Lysine that I buy direct through Bulk Supplements (don't buy through Amazon as I've received fraudulent supps from them 3 x's earlier this year and Bulk Supp Magnesium Oxide was one of them).
I put a 1/4 of a teaspoon in the palm of my left hand and pried his mouth open and slapped it on his tongue and shut his mouth down so he didn't inhale it. He was considerably better, but was still going for the water bowl which isn't like him.
So about 15 minutes later, I double downed with another 1/4 of a teaspoon of Lysine. That did the trick!
No more licking, gulping air, hacking/coughing or appearing as if something was stuck in his throat and he stopped going to the water bowl.
He went to lay down in his bed after that. It is now the next morning and he is right as rain. Thank you Ted and Earth Clinic.
