Topical remedies needed for canine mastitis

Posted By Lynn (Sacramento, Ca, Us) on 08/31/2010

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any natural remedies that are helpful for treating canine mastitis. My 7 year old lab has it. I've been giving her Keflex (antibiotic) and started giving her ACV 2 times a day as I read it's helpful for mastitis in cows. I would like to find something topical to apply to make her more comfortable until it clears. Thank you!

I recently posted that my 7 year old lab had mastitis. I found out yesterday that she actually has several tumors. I will find out next week if the tumors are benign or cancerous. I have done some research and found that digestive enzymes and apricot seeds are beneficial for humans with tumors. Does anyone know if the following digestive enzyme formula is safe for dogs? The brand is Nu-Gen Enzyme Formula and it contains the following:

1. Pancreatic Enzymes
2. Bromelain
3. Papain
4. Trypsin
5. Rutin
6. Cartilage (Bovine)
7. Thymus Substance
8. Amylase
9. Lipase
10. L-Glutathione
11. Catalase
12. Chymotrypsin

My plan is to add the digestive enzymes to her daily diet along with the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese treatment. Anyone have any experience with using these? Thanks so much!
