"Kristain, I would start using DMSO on her. It helped and healedy two crushed discs after 6 months of use. Please read the threads here on this site about it. On a cellular level DMSO has been studied and shown to correct DNA back to its intended function. Eg. I haven't had to use DMSO on my discs in 3 yrs, because it healed it; so it was a cure, not a treatment. For your dog I would use no more than 1/8 tsp in 1 litre of water, refrigerate it in a bottle and give her a steady supply. It's what I have always used for dogs anyways. Best of luck to you and your sweetie."Posted By Hollyhock (America ) on 08/10/2023
"Katzie, did you dilute the dmso or use it straight? I have 3 herniated discs. I've used diluted dmso for years, if I use it straight it leaves blisters. But it's never healed my discs. You are very lucky to be out of pain! :)"Posted By Katzie (Cancun, Mexico) on 08/11/2023
"Hi Hollyhock. I always use DMSO straight, however, I always always always use a layer of oil first; for me its Castor Oil. Lemme tell ya, I used it straight on my sore knees two days in a row, and lived to regret it as it is harsh on the skin. I had to kiss-up to that skin for a few days to make up for it, finally healing it back to normal with aveeno. So I have never forgotten since then! Olive oil and coconut have stood in for Castor oil a few times and work also. Ya don't have to slather it on, just a nice thin coating will do. And the amazing thing I noticed about DMSO was that, unlike a pain pill, I never noticed the pain leaving; it would be about 1/2 hr later when I'd be like "oh, the pain is gone". As to my healing time (6 months'ish) is that I had been warned I'd be feeling pain soon by a chiropractor, so when I felt the annoying toothache-like pain in my discs, I started the DMSO right away! Heal quickly, Hollyhock!"Posted By TXmom25 (Dallas, TX) on 11/01/2025
"According to Rex Newnham/Walter Last it’s 1/8 teaspoon of borax per 100 lbs. So to get the proper dose for a 14 lb dog, one might dissolve the 1/8 teaspoon into 1 cup of water and then only add 2 tablespoons of the dilution to the dog’s water. Or just add a pinch once or twice a day if that’s too laborious."Posted By Dianne (South Carolina) on 01/05/2026
"Where did you get your DMSO, and is this rubbed on or oral?"Posted By Katzie (Cancun, México) on 01/06/2026
"I buy any brand of dmso on sale and they all work!! Just get 99.9% pure. If you're in the U.S. I used to find the dmso store had good prices and glass bottles, which I prefer. Best of luck!
PS - I rub it on AFTER cleaning my hands and the sore area with hydrogen peroxide, AND a layer of a favorite soothing oil (i like Castor Oil but coconut and almond work, too) and THEN put on the DMSO. Leave alone for 10 mins, wipe off any excess oil and continue with your day.
***You will need to cycle down on the amount of DMSO you use since this stuff actually heals, not just treats, and you WILL need to reduce your dose. SIGNS - you will need to cycle down when the area stings after your usual dosage. Don't worry, this only lasts a few minutes, and it's your body's only way to tell you that you need to either use less dmso or use it less often. (It sadly cannot send you a helpful & informative text message with this information). I simply used a bit less and dropped it from using 3x/day to 2x. DOSE - I like to use dropper bottles for my dmso so I know exactly how much I use. Like when I was in pain I started at 7 drops on each side. My ending dose before I realized I was healed was only 3 drops, 1/day (after 18 months, two crushed discs). I realized I didn't need it anymore after 3 months of forgetting to use it at all with no pain, and still haven't needed it after 5 yrs now, I think? Not even a twinge! I read a study where it says the DMSO corrects the dna back to what it's supposed to be doing, and I have no other explanation for my healing. And when DMSO takes the pain away, it's like you just realize an hour later it doesn't hurt anymore, whereas with a pain pill I found the pain relief to be sudden. Keep in mind that when the DMSO heals the area, you may need a chiropractoric session or a deep-tissue massage if your soreness caused your body to overcompensate in some way.
Best of luck!! Blessings & Healing to you!
