Hydrogen Peroxide for Sick Puppy

Posted By Ryan (Sylacauga, Al) on 07/28/2011

"hydrogen peroxide 3% really worked for a sick puppy. I have a 4 week old pup that had nasal discharge, labored breathing, loss of appetite, and was lethargic. We give the pup a 3 drop h2o2, 16 oz. Water, and lemon juice mix. We had to force some liquid down. After giving the mixture, the pup was 50% better within 30 minutes. After an hour the pup was 95% better. The pup was eating, breathing better, and energetic. Still had some nasal discharge but a great improvement overall. I would not have believed that hydrogen peroxide would have made that much difference, that quickly unless I saw it with my own eyes. If you read this post and you are it doubt, trust me just try it. best of all no vet bill."

"Hi, I have a choc lab who has been coughing alot and bringing up an awful lot of white frothy phlem all day and night for the last two days. She is now on antibiotics but I would love to try the hydrogen peroxide but am realy not sure as how much you give, is it all the solution in one go or at intervals through the day? And it is 3 drops as in 3 drops from an eye dropper?

Sorry but I want to get it just right.

It won't make the phlem anymore frothy?

Thanks"

"Yes three drops from an eye dropper. Worked for my pup.. I did it whenever I filled her bowl up with fresh water; which was morning and night."

"Thanks Linda, I think it is working, she is so much better. I am going to spread the word!"

"It will if you use it at 6% I believe but not 3%. just by adding 3 drops to their water bowl is fine- I do it all the time whenever they're looking sick- dogs, cats, chickens- all. (including myself) ;)"

"Vicky, do you use honey with peroxide when giving to chickens?"
