Natural Kitty Litter

I have a 4yr old Cornish Rex . Her Breeder turned me on to Horse Bedding Pellets, their usually pine. Use in place of kitty litter. I never smell her urine. The pellets disintegrate and turn to sawdust . Best part it’s about$ 7.50 for 50 lbs. You do need a sifting litter box. But Miew was trained to use that and it’s GREAT!

Dog With Anal Gland Issues

Buddy%u2019s mom (Grafton, WI) on 09/10/2025

My 12 yr old bishon/maltese recently started leaking a brownish foul liquid from his anus. He’s never had this problem. I’ve tried to express the glands but I still have to clean him several times a day. Bowel movements are solid. I did add a topper to his food-Fresh Pet with grain and sweet potato. Nothing else seems out of the ordinary.

Difference Between Molasses for Dogs

There are three types of molasses, differeing in color and sugar content. Per this article I found, blackstrap is what we want for our dogs. Least sugar. I’m going to try it! https://dog.gl/unlocking-the-sweetness-the-surprising-benefits-of-blackstrap-molasses-for-dogs/

Seeking Help for Dog With Chronic Kidney Disease

Shereen (Mallorca Spain) on 09/05/2025

Hello,

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.

Re: Borax

Bj (Michigan) on 08/29/2025

J, You didn't mention what the change in your urine looked like. Though it has been many years since I began using borax, I remember that at first my urine was a bit cloudy. I attributed this to eliminating large amounts of candida albacan (systemic yeast infestation). Though our bodies need candida in our gut, and it should not be eliminated completely, an over abundance causes all sorts of health issues. Any other change may need to be looked into. Also try backing off from the borax intake for a few days then reinstate it.

Grain free food must contain Taurine. It's for heart health. Google it. Very very important when choosing a grain free food.

Lysine for Kennel Cough

Kim Lowe (Kansas City, MO) on 08/26/2025
5 out of 5 stars

I'm surprised not to see Lysine as a remedy for Kennel Cough which is essentially a virus picked up by dogs whether they have been in contact with other dogs or not.

I took my 3 yr old Doberman mix to Longview Lake Park which is just 2 min from where we live. I take him there several times per month and there are rarely any other dogs out there when we go and last night there were no other dogs there.

When we got in the car to start driving home my boy Doberman mix began licking the air incessantly and couldn't stop. I thought he was going to throw up so I drove home as quick as I could. When he got out of the car, he immediately started eating grass. I let him in the backyard where there was plenty of water and grass.

30 min later he wanted in and he was hacking as if something was caught in his throat. He was still doing some licking in the air. I offered him some chicken jerky treats that I buy at Walmart and I offered him the one that has cassava root in it, which he rarely eats and he ate 5 of the Chicken jerky treats.

Then he proceeded to drink water over and over again and cough and gulp the air as if something was in his throat for 2 hours. I finally realized he had all the signs and symptoms of what vets call Kennel Cough.

I did a google search and found a thread from 2012 where Ted replied to a person in Chiang Rai that had a kennel with lots of dogs that often had Kennel Cough or Flu in Dogs and Ted recommended Lysine along with a couple of other things.

The only thing I had on hand was powdered Lysine that I buy direct through Bulk Supplements (don't buy through Amazon as I've received fraudulent supps from them 3 x's earlier this year and Bulk Supp Magnesium Oxide was one of them).

I put a 1/4 of a teaspoon in the palm of my left hand and pried his mouth open and slapped it on his tongue and shut his mouth down so he didn't inhale it. He was considerably better, but was still going for the water bowl which isn't like him.

So about 15 minutes later, I double downed with another 1/4 of a teaspoon of Lysine. That did the trick!

No more licking, gulping air, hacking/coughing or appearing as if something was stuck in his throat and he stopped going to the water bowl.

He went to lay down in his bed after that. It is now the next morning and he is right as rain. Thank you Ted and Earth Clinic.

Re: Walter Last's Borax Dosage

Sue (UK) on 08/26/2025

Sorry Cindy but did you understand that the 18 teaspoons is of the Newnham/Last solution (1 teaspoon of borax in a litre of water), I.e. where one teaspoon of the solution gives you 3mg of Boron (not 18 teaspoon of borax! ) Thus the total of 18tsps (of the water solutiuon) gives you the 54mg of Boron as in Ted's protocol for women (or female dogs)?

Re: Borax for Pets and Easier Oral Dosing for People?

I think that's way too much to give a human key alone a pet. Just a pinch in afew ounces of water is enough for human.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Skin Issues on Rescue Dog

Vic (South Whitley) on 08/24/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Some years ago I rescued a Dachshund from a kill shelter. He had been passed on from shelter to shelter without being adopted. He had black, hairless skin and a very unhealthy, sad countenance. No one would adopt him.

I got him a half hour before he was scheduled to be euthanized.

I brought him home and began feeding him a healthy diet and loving care. But the main thing I did for his skin was to mix 1/3 Organic ACV with 2/3 water and spritzed this mixture on his skin 3-4 times a day.

Within a week his skin was beginning to heal and he wasn't itchy anymore. Within a fairly short amount of time ALL his hair grew back on his legs, where there was no hair when I got him.

He became the happiest, funniest, most loving boy any dog owner could wish for! The Organic ACV was the only treatment I used for his skin, as I don't like to put any chemical based treatments on or inside my dogs.

Berberine for cat with worms

Berberine for cat with worms

Our cat had drunk from a bird bath and got sick. Vomiting and smelly poops. The toxic 'back of the neck' spot on treatments are really poision (check the ingredients). So we tried pumpkin seed, silver vine and diatomaceous earth. Nothing helped. So we turned to fenbendezole but it only helped partly. We were recommended to use berberine by a holistic practitioner. He had a tiny sprinkle (just a dusting really) mixed in a paste treat to make sure he had no issues with it. (We also checked before giving it to him with muscle-testing and he tested 'yes'.) Berberine is amazing! He is better now. He needed at least 3 doses. You could muscle test to check this for your cat. Hope this helps someone.

Re: Turmeric and Burdock Root for Mystery Lump on Dog's Neck

Onlytruthintheworldkjv (Sonomacounty) on 08/20/2025

Thanks for the advice. Have been applying castor oil since it first happened 12 days ago (I believe after she tugged too hard on her collar when tied up). Also olive oil & tea tree & arnica. I will now add a pinch of baking soda to see if that helps tenderize the squishy meatball hanging off her neck 😀😬...

Hoping it will dissipate asap as I can't keep driving her to the emergency clinic to have them sedate her & drain it @ $500 a pop. If it gets too big I'll just give her a double dose of cbd and drain it myself with a needle from tractor supply. Kind regards.

If it were my dog, I would be applying castor oil to the lump daily. I've also read some people mix in a little baking soda.
