If it's more of a long hair cat, trim the fur around the chin area. You don't want long fur here. Brew a small glass half full with your tea bag. Pour in a small cap of colloidal copper. The brew should still be good and hot, but not scalding when you start your procedure. Make sure your hands are washed and clean. Sit on the couch and lay your cat on its back on your knees, head furthest away. They submit easier in this position. If your cat is wild get them in a cat burrito blanket for the treatment and then laying on your knees. WARM COMPRESS. Fold your tissue in quarters and dip a corner in the hot liquid. Lay it on the chin and hold it there to get all the pores to open and all the acne crusties to soften and loosen. Do this a few times over a couple minutes. Take your flea comb and run it carefully through the short fur on the chin, taking as many crusties as you can. It helps to do a "sawing" motion as you run it through the cats fur, and tilt the comb as you go - so the crusties hit the tip of the comb first. Once you've got the area 'crusty free', take your Neosporin and dose the chin, then use a qtip to spread and "get it in there". Little circles. Don't be shy with the sporin. Do this at least once a day, and for the first week twice a day would be good so you get a running start. Change your food and water bowls to glass and NEVER use plastic. Don't even use ceramic, it has fine fissures and can attract bacteria and dirt. I'm just going to throw in a couple of other tips while I'm at it as my 21 year old tabby just had blood work done and the vet said she's got the damn blood of a 1 year old. If you feed kibble stay away from crap like Royal Canin and Purina and Fancy Feast. Look for brands that have "organ" meats for high nutrition. Try to stay away from seed oils like canola and sunflower etc. Same with wet food. Examine ingredients always. I use Nulo, Wellness and some other ones. (Earth Clinic, if you need to change the paragraph because I "named names", feel free).

Has anyone used Ivermectin to treat a mast cell tumor in dogs successfully?

Oregano Oil
About 20 yrs ago I found these remedies on a dog-breeder's website after one of my dogs proved positive for it after having lost 10 lbs (went form 70 to 60 lbs).
She would NOT swallow ANYTHING containing the pills prescribed by conv. vet., so I looked online. Read an article saying that drug is not very affective for Giardia, & that it's Very Bitter! Then found the article sharing natural treatments....
I used the top 3 I listed, as I already had them. The 4th is one my sister later told me she uses for her dogs after they go hiking & swim in a place where they always pick Giardia up. I recall each of them was recommended as effective alone ... but I had 3 n hand, & they're all safe to use, so gave all of them to both my dogs (both showed symptoms I now recognized) mixed in their food w/ water....
PLUS, I gave the one diagnosed an extra feeding daily for a week (along with the nat. meds.), & she gained all her lost weight back that week, & did NOT loose weight after I stopped treating the Giardia!

I then remembered my GBGV who had lesser issues, but having gone into the sea and got thoroughly wet, emerged with brilliantly clear clean ears. Salt water! Worth a try. I looked it up on the internet and came across several articles including this remedy. A teaspoon of non idodised salt in a cup of water. I put a drop of this in his ears and bathed the gunk from the outside of his ear and the earflap. it takes seconds, doesn't traumatise him and it works. It seems that after 15 mins the salt breaks down the wax allowing it to make its way out of the ear. It certainly cleans the outside of the ear in seconds.
