I have used boric acid on my Bichon’s eyes and feet. It is wonderful for those runny eyes and is soothing. I have just recently used it on his itchy paws and so far so good. He seems to be finally at peace.
EC: Please let us know how you make a diluted solution of boric acid and water. Graeme (Queensland Australia) on 12/30/2023

Reading your nine point recovery plan page I now give her 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric and cayenne pepper with her food. Going to add organic spinach to food and she is having mackerel twice a week instead of tinned meat with kibble.
Should I also add HAWTHORN & GINKO BILOBA drops daily or will these damage delicate aged blood vessels?

Lastly, acupuncture, to stimulate healing mechanisms.Yes, acupuncture. When I have severe back pain an acupuncturist treats me at home (I pay extra). One time I had mentioned my cat did not pass stool or pee for several days, she put few needles into my cat at no charge The cat urinated in an hour and the next day passed her stool. I was impressed. She, the cat, was also not eating, and started eating the same day.
LDN, red light and acupuncture stimulate bodyâs healing mechanisms so it heals itself, whatever is broken. You body as well as your petâs body knows what is wrong and how to heal it

"About 95 species of native or cultivated leeks, chives, garlic, shallots, scallions, and onions are present in North America, and more than 80 ornamental Allium species are available.
"All Allium species and the products derived from them CAN be toxic to dogs and cats1; HOWEVER, relatively FEW Allium species are of important toxicologic interest.
"Trauma to the plants, such as chewing, converts the organosulfoxides [TOXINS] to a complex mixture of sulfur-containing organic compounds.... Cooking or spoilage of Allium species does not reduce their potential toxicity.
". .. Garlic preparations that have not been aged cause direct damage to the gastric and ileal mucosa, resulting in pain and diarrhea.
"Allium species toxicosis typically ensues after consumption of a single large quantity of the material or repeated small amounts.
"Dogs and cats are highly susceptible to onion toxicosis: Consumption of as little as 5 g/kg of onions in cats or 15 to 30 g/kg in dogs has resulted in clinically important hematologic changes.
"Onion toxicosis is consistently noted in animals that ingest more than 0.5% of their body weight in onions at one time... ."

There is a dog at a vet's office on all sorts of IVs to no avail. Diarrhea, not eating, in very bad shape. You name it, the vet's office keeps trying. I have read of kidney and liver damage in
these cases. Is there a cure? After many days, I am wondering. This dog is very popular in a world wide Virtual story teller's stories on Facebook.

Sugardine is simply a paste of granulated white sugar and betadine solution mixed to a toothpaste or peanut butter consistency, and it is a remarkably safe and effective wound dressing.
Granulated white sugar heals wounds. Sugar has been used in Egypt and many other Middle Eastern countries for generations as a safe way to treat cuts and in some cases burns. Sugar draws water from the wound into a dressing accelerating the healing process, which is prescribed in African folk medicine. The sugar kills bacteria through osmotic action, and attracts the body's "clean-up crew" of macrophages and other infection-fighting elements to the wound site, thus promoting rapid cleansing and healing of the wound.
I read an article about this sugar cure for wounds back in 1985 from a woman who was trying to heal her grandmother's bedsores. The earliest mention of sugar for wound healing that could be found in the medical literature was during World War I in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Sept. 4,1915).
This treatment persisted as an old wives' tale until the mid 1970s when Richard Knutson, MD, began using sugar on hard-to-treat wounds (Southern Medical Journal, Nov. 1981). His formula involved mixing 4 pounds of table sugar with 1 pound of Betadine (iodine) antiseptic ointment (know that you're not allergic to betadine) and 6.5 ounces Betadine solution in a double boiler over low heat. He applied the mixture to a depth of one-fourth inch, changing the dressing and cleaning the wound daily. He treated over 5,000 patients over 15 years.
Ingredients for sugardine:
Procedure:
- It is my understanding that with a large open wound you pack it with sugardine and then bandage it.
Sugardyne can be safely applied to the wound without fear of any bleeding once clots have been given adequate time to form–usually 1 ½ to 2 days. A copious amount (¼ to ½ inch thick layer) of Sugardyne is applied to cover or fill the wound and then covered with dry gauze. Deeper wounds are packed full of Sugardyne to the brim. Dressings are changed once daily. Dressing changes continue until the wound if fully healed. As a rule, no skin graft will be required. Skin will automatically cover the granulation tissue (“proud flesh”) that fills the defect, completely.
