Re: Ted's Mange Treatment?

Mari (NJ) on 10/10/2026

If your pool water has recommended level of chlorax in it, it would kill all mites that will be washed from your dog. But it also irritates the skin (usually GS have very sensitive skin), which makes skin more prompt to infections.

Borax for Dog's Arthritis Worked Really Well

Angie (Cape Town, South Africa) on 10/10/2026
5 out of 5 stars

I had a Giant Schnauzer diagnosed with Chronic Arthritis when he was about 7 years old. I was told he would have to take Petcam for the rest of his life. I looked it up and it had too many side effects apart from being sooo expensive. I heard about Borax here on Earth clinic - I tried a tiny pinch in his food and after a few weeks, he was getting up without wincing, jumping into the car again, running around like a puppy. He spent the next 5 years in perfect and energetic health and lived longer than most Schnauzers do. Just a pinch of Borax, that's it.

Re: Dog With Possible UTI But On Immune Suppression Drugs

Sherri (WA) on 10/04/2026

Hello T,

My cat had severe urinary/kidney issues (leaking pee, vomit, struggling to pee, inability to pee, etc..). The Vet ran labs and there were kidney issues. He only gave steroids so it wasn't much help. I tried an herbal blend that many people have had amazing results with for various bladder/kidney issues in their cats and dogs and it worked! I started with a double - triple dose, 2x/day, for a month, and then worked down to a maintenance dose (see bottle instructions).

As long as I give my cat the daily maintenance dose, 1-2x/day, he has no urinary symptoms.

Herbal Blend Extracts - certified organic:

Couch Grass Root 1:4

Echinacea Root & Herb 1:4

Marshmallow Root 1:4

Horsetail Herb 1:4

Dandelion Root & Leaf 1:4

In a base of USP vegetable glycerin and distilled water.

With regards to the low platelet counts you may want to look at NHV pet products.

Best regards, Sherri

Dog With Possible UTI But On Immune Suppression Drugs

T (Denver co) on 10/01/2026

Hi! I noticed our dog squatting more and think she has a uti or bladder infection. She does have a little blood in her urine. She was panting heavily 2 days ago when it started and I did give her ACV which she seems to be acting normal other than the sweating to pee more and still blood in urine. She is peeing less often though and no heavy breathing anymore. She is on immune suppression drugs for severely decreased platelets and was on doxycycline for a month as could have been tick related, but also immune suppression in case immune mediated process. Because of this I’m worried that her immune system is too suppressed to deal with the infection properly - she is seeing positive results from the ACV but do u think a vet visit is warranted? Thank you.

Elderly Cat With Arthritis in One Shoulder

NINA (UK) on 09/26/2026

My cat 17 years old has arthritis in one of her shoulders

I am just wondering if anyone here has used Borax for their pets with Arthritis. I am not sure as to how much to give her. She is doing very well, never jabbed or drugged by Vets and has had a kidney and full blood tests recently and all is well.

BECKIE (OR) on 09/25/2026

Look under the pets tab on this site and read the ones about fleas. There should be plenty in there to help. Also, if fleas area present in and around the home, cleaning will be a constant until you get them gone.

Elderly Dog With Cough and Skin Issues - Remedies Needed

Sonja (Columbia SC) on 09/25/2026

16 year old bichon/shitzu cough and parasites in his skin.

My 16 year old fur baby, ended up with parasites from a farm we visited for about 2 hours. I didn't notice right away because of his long hair. When I started shaving him down for the summer heat I seen bumps all over him. Vet said to let them hatch but all that did was allow the hatched parasites to reenter his skin. So, I would bathe him with dawn, that's when I seen all the fleas under in his skin. I bathed Benji at all hours, when I seen he couldn't stop scratching and biting his skin. Which then caused Benji to have congestion in his chest. I've been giving him honey to soothe his throat, please if there are any natural remedies I can give him, let me know. Benji is my little side kick. He goes everywhere with me for the last 15 years. I want my fur baby to live as long as possible. Any advice for his well being would be greatly appreciated, Thank you

NEVER IVERMECTIN FOR A CAT!!!

They can have Fenbendazole - very safe. This is from my specialist.

She suggests opening a capsule and sprinkle on food Once a day for 3 days; then once a week for 4 weeks; then every month.

Re: Supplements For Dog WIth CHF

Good Afternoon Katie,

I found your blog online this afternoon which caught my attention due to research my husband and I are doing to find holistic methods to treat our 8 year old cavalier king charles spaniel who was just diagnosed with a heart murmur (grade 4 we think). She doesn't seem to be portraying any symptoms of heart of problems at the moment so we want to nip as much of this in the bud NOW.

Do you have specific online links to the products you've mentioned in your blog, such as:CardioPlus - 4 tabs/dayCataplex B - 2 tabs/dayCataplex F - 2 tabs/dayOrganically Bound Minerals - 1 tab/dayCalcium Lactate - 2 tabs/dayFlax Oil - I would lower this. I think 1 TBS was too much. I would only give 1 tsp/day for every 25 lbs. For dog's less than that, I would halve the dose.

Thank you so very much for all and any info you can provide! We appreciate that you've taken so much time to inform people like us!

Re: Colloidal Silver

Julie weston (Coos bay oregon) on 09/07/2026

This turning gray from using colloidal service needs an explanation and a reassurance. People used to make their own colloidal silver by making a homemade machine. It was crude but worked for their ailments but because the homemade machine wasn’t able to make small enough particles of silver, the body couldn’t excrete them. That resulted in the gray color of the skin.
Store bought colloidal silver or homemade using a store bought machine makes tiny particles that CAN be excreted.

I have a machine and I’ve drank colloidal service for about twenty five years, plus given it to my pets for many things and none of us are gray. Don’t believe everything you read.
I also use it topically on wounds and in my nose, in the corner of my eyes dabbed on my clean finger, and in my ears when they itch. No bad side effects.

My machine is one of the best things I’ve ever purchased for my health. Especially since the cost of colloidal silver is so expensive if you buy it. I highly recommend.

Re: Joint Pain in Dogs

LisaLee (Pacific NW) on 08/27/2026

Read about this dog that had "Severe intervertebral disc inflammation caused progressive nerve compression at the thoracolumbar junction. Not structural degeneration - inflammatory compression. The nerve signals to her rear limbs were being blocked by inflamed disc tissue pressing on the spinal cord so legs were knuckling. Early stage. Reversible with aggressive, sustained anti-inflammatory intervention and nerve support." Vet recommended the following and after five months dogs was running.

"Inflammatory spinal compression responds to treatment when you catch it before it becomes structural. This causes inflammation to go down Green lipped mussel and MSM . Lion's mane to support the compressed nerve tissue. Glucosamine and chondroitin for the disc environment Mush Buddies Joint and Mobility Chews. One chew a day.

Re: Ivermectin for Mange

Gail%u2019s Place (Pennsylvania) on 08/23/2026

I love using ivermectin as a remedy for a variety of health issues for myself and my elderly mother. However, I own a shepherd (with two white legs) and shepherds are known to often have a sensitivity to ivermectin - especially those with white feet. Be careful and look up your dog breed’s sensitivity to ivermectin. They can also be tested for the gene that causes the sensitivity.
