Re: Activated Charcoal for Kidney Disease in Pets

Rebecca (MD) on 05/02/2025

On the bottle of charcoal I have for myself, it says take between meals. 3-4 hours from food. Cats digest faster, so 1 hour might be enough. My question is how many mg of charcoal is everyone giving? I have 600 mg capsules which seems high.

Re: Aloe Vera Juice for Fleas

Maybe it was the preservative ... but maybe NOT....

When I had dogs with allergies to flea/tick saliva, they were absolutely miserable during hot weather! Constant scratching & biting was the ticket, all day & much of the night, 24/7!

I tried vinegar sprayed on their coats (they hated it, probably because I didn't know to dilute it with water 50/50), and it worked to keep the fleas away / from biting, as they had no problems for 11-12 hours after each spraying!

After awhile I wondered if Aloe vera gel would do the same thing, and I had extra such plants growing in my yard ... so, I opened a fresh leaf & rubbed that 'goo' all over their fur ... and it also kept the parasites from biting them ... whether by repelling them or making it so they could not recognize by scent that the dogs were available to snack on, IDK which, or maybe something else was at play. HOwever it did so, it DID work ... WITHOUT ... ANY ... added preservatives ... at all!!!

Re: How to Use Diatomaceous Earth for Ear Mites in Dogs?

Lisa Lopez (Texas) on 05/01/2025

I know this is old. But, please, please be careful putting the DE on their body. I did that to my 5 little dogs couple of years ago and I guess I wasn't as careful as I thought. My little old Chihuahua after a while starting getting a hacking cough. Long story short, she's dead now. Please be careful!!!

Ted's Borax and Peroxide Protocol for Mange

Stacy (Austin texas) on 04/28/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Scarcopic mange is very contagious to pets and to people it is what we call scabies

If it is scarcopic everyone in ur home will itch have rashes ect .u will know. u can't not know if it's scabies

Demodex mange mites are only passed from dog to dog

all dogs have demodex mites they get them from their mom,

It's usually not a problem until the dog gets stressed, the immune system gets compromised, or they are puppies.

I've been fighting and spent so much money on these little rescue dogs, but I think I've got the remedy now.

Also vets will skin scrape even biopsy but they have to get a mite which is almost impossible an they won't diagnose unless they find one. They are super fast and not trying to get scraped up

Kind of a rip off deal with the vet .

U know they know it's almost impossible to get a mite so they keep calling it fungus, allergy's, infections everything under the sun.

And keep charging you

When they treat for these things it gets better for a while antibiotics help because they have secondary infections due to chewing and scratching. anti inflammatory help because the swelling goes down for a bit but underneath it all

the mites are continuing to live breed and eat your dog.

Ted's mange bomb is the only ONLY THING THAT I HAVE FOUND TO WORK

IT'S CONSUMING IN THAT U HAVE TO STICK TO THE SCHEDULE

JUST BATHE YOUR DOG When U SHOWER EVERY OTHER DAY AND SO ON.

U CAN ALSO USE BORAX IN UR MOP WATER OR MIX WITH WATER TO WIPE DOWN DOG KENNELS ECT.

IT WILL WORK GOOD LUCK

Ps I just learned that yeast on a dog caused by them eating foods that cause yeast make the dog extra yummy to mites so a high protein low carb no junk food diet can help fight them off this means little to no people food and nothing white bread tortilla potato's corn stuff like that avoiding these foods make it dog less appetizing to the mites.

Re: Aloe Vera and Garlic for Pets

Pam E. (SW California, USA) on 04/26/2025

I *strongly* urge those concerned about giving Aloe vera gel to cats & dogs to *seriously* consider this article: "Is Aloe Vera Toxic to Pet Cats, Dogs, Other Animals?" Https://www.happyhousegarden.com/for-pets/is-aloe-vera-toxic-to-pet-cats-dogs-or-other-animals/ ONLY the small amount of latex that is often removed from Aloe products can cause problems, but it gave Aloe vera a very undeserved, bad, reputation when conventional medicine used PURE LATEX for patients with constipation (MINUS the GEL, which contains protective buffers) ... as it caused very painful & excessive results! It was the fact that ... Aloe vera's gel was NOT given concurrently & in the amounts the leaf provides ... that made such trouble! However, the *rumor* erroneously spread far & wide that *both* the gel as well as the latex (even in small amounts that are buffered by the Aloe's gel) was toxic.... Something similar happened with pharmaceutical Aspirin, which ALWAYS causes bleeding in the stomach ... although when White Willow Bark is taken (which has NATURAL salicylic acid + natural buffers & was the source of the first aspirin)) it causes NO bleeding at all ... due to the natural, protective, buffers in it! Only the warning that should be sounded on the use of Aspirin has not been as loudly proclaimed by conventional medicine, since they make money off of pharmaceutical-aspirin products that may (or may not) have a warning in print so small it can't be read by anyone without magnification.

2yr Old Akita - Is New Mom Shedding Too much?

GisWell (Atlanta, USA) on 04/25/2025

Our Bella had her first litter late January 2025. She’s never been a heavy shedder, usually w/season change it’s heavy. Our male does enough shedding for us all, year round.
Since she had the pups she’s lost all her baby weight plus some and the shedding is beginning to alarm me. Her hair is coming out with every touch. No bald spots but it’s thin THIN!

In January we changed her food to the puppy plus Lactating Mom brand from our local feed store. After she weened the pups we changed her back to the regular adult dog food. We used Wellness Brand for the first year of all our dog’s lives. Now we’ve switched to Costco’s brand, which they all seem to like. We drizzle a bit of coconut oil (1T) over the dry food & they like that too.
Her thick double coat appears to have vanished. She was very stressed concerning her pups and has now adjusted to having just one around. Before pregnant she held steady at 105lbs. She weighed 127lbs before the birth. Today she’s at 95lbs and she’s looking awfully thin. This was our first litter too. I use ACV for everything but have no idea what works for our dogs. They are my sunshine on cloudy days! Please Help!

Any suggestions of what to do? Thanks!

A cat that repeatedly vomits may have a serious intestinal obstruction, & should be seen by a vet.

Re: Hairballs

I give my cats Coconut oil ... 1/8th tsp per meal (2x daily). If they show signs (like coughing) of needing more, I give them a little more. They usually will lick it right out of their bowls ... but if they got into something & now have a tummy ache, I've found that smearing it on a front paw results in them licking it off, sooner or later ... and within an hour their tummy ache has so far disappeared! Coconut oil is easily digested, but only so much of it! After that it becomes something to help loosen things up in the GI tract! It has amazing health benefits, from anti-inflammatory & pain relief, to anti : viral, bacterial, fungal, & parasiticide (certain ones)!

Frankincense essential oil - contact Dr Janet Roark, she uses EOs in her vet practice in TX, get one that is safe for oral use, I think she uses DoTerra brand, she may also prescribe other oils.

Hello, I was just reading your comment and I have always been told garlic is deadly to pets. Just wanted to mention that since you were saying you give your dog garlic. Apparently it hasn't hurt him or her but I just wanted to mention it.

Re: Lymphoma Remedies Needed for Dog

DogMom (WA) on 04/09/2025

One of my dogs was diagnosed with Lymphoma in July 2024. I chose not to do chemo. I am treating with prednisone, Salmon oil, turkey tail mushroom powder, cbd and a 90% raw diet. I also use probiotics, bone broth and some immune support supplements. They gave him 8 weeks without chemo. I have greatly reduced the prednisone dosage for my 40 lb dog as the dosage the prescribed was causing too many side effects. I now give 5mg and 10mg alternating days. He is doing well and just passed the 8 month mark. I hope you find something that works for your dog.

Re: Tips for Elderly Dogs That Vets Don't Usually Tell You

Donna (Camp Verde AZ USA) on 04/04/2025

Thank you so much for posting. Very encouraging as I am dealing with a 14+ year old Catahoula Blue Heeler mix. My best friend and loyal pup. I will definitely keep an eye on the water and protein; been concerned about his cough but will get 2nd opinion since the last vet prescribed Lasics for "heart condition" - I believe it's his throat or esophagus and refused the Lasics due to side affects.

Thanks again!

Double Cream for Horse Laminitis

Yvonne (Auckland New Zealand) on 04/04/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Laminitis remedy.

I just wanted to share a remedy I have used on our minis suffering from Laminitis. I have seen a dramatic improvement in our mini and yesterday told a friend who has a thoroughbred suffering from Laminitis. The improvement is dramatic on day 2. The remedy is to administer 3-5 tablespoons of Double cream. I will put up the link here from the woman who discovered this and had had it published in a veterinary journal. To any one whose horse is suffering will appreciate a natural cheap option. You have nothing to lose in trying.

MCT Oil Safe For Cats?

Irene (Eugene, Oregon ) on 04/02/2025

Is it safe to give organic MCT oil to a cat? Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is so hard to mix into cat food. During the summer when it warms up the coconut oil will blend better but for now I am wondering about MCT oil.
