My pooch has these raised bumps on her skin. It's been ongoing for about a week. Most are along side her spine- the left and right of her upper body. There are a few here and there but mostly on top and to the end of her back meeting to the tail. I'm not use if they are mites or simply hives. I have used several natural methods (bathes with medicate shampoo, sponged her with apple cider vinegar and mixed eucalyptus essential oil mixed with olive oil. She has existing allergies- feet- yeast. I don't want to take her to the vet yet- hoping I can find something that works for her. Thanks in advance. Kiaweso 28 Sep 2025

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?

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.
