My 1st rescue was spayed 3 weeks ago. 1 week after bringing her home her stitches were not there (except the deep internal ones); there was a gaping hole at the site. There was no sign of infection to inhibit the healing of the skin. For another week I took her to the vet every morning, where he would just put on an antibacterial spray and bandage her up, and to monitor if the site was closing. It did not. So he put her under anesthetic for a 2nd time and put in new sutures. It is now 1 week later and they're out again! She still has a hole there and it doesn't appear to be healing much either. Still no infection either. I just cannot figure it out!
In Canada, when I would adopt a dog they always came already sterilized, so I have never dealt with a fresh spay before.
I am this close to just duct taping the site and checking on it in a month. Any ideas or information, anyone?

I would second the idea of castor oil.
Frankincense essential oil is also an anti-tumor. You could dip a toothpick in a bottle of Frankincense and add it to the drop of castor oil to use topically.

Last summer she was subjected to a break in her hind leg. She healed amazingly well within 10 weeks, with casts that my vet changed often. She was acting "off" a couple of months ago, and looked as if she had lost some weight, so I took her to the vet. She still has high counts for kidney issues, but now has a small tumor in her bladder. My vet put her on a daily lowdose of prednisone She is hydrated well, pees and eats without any issues. She still has a trace of blood in her urine (which is ok, according to my vet, as long as there are no clots). I started her on Diatomaceous Earth the end of Dec 2024, starting with 1/8tsp and is now up to 1/2tsp. I've noticed the last couple of days, she's meowing a lot more, not sure if it's because I've been giving her more attention and wet food and if I'm not on time for either comfort, she'll meow for longer times. All that being said, I'm wondering if her stomach hurts with parasite die off? Should I be giving her chlorella or otherwise? She's a hardy trooper at her age. I'd be grateful if you have advise to share. Thank you!

I found a starving kitten last summer and forgot to write what saved his life. 50/50 mix ACV/Water mixed in a shot glass. I soaked a paper towel in it and applied this to the back of the kitten's neck.
When I found this kitten behind my shed crying at the top of his lungs I immediately brought him water and some fancy feast gravy. The kitten of course ate a little of the fancy feast and drank a little water. He was only maybe 6 or 7 weeks old. He had the runs after that and pee'd a few times and he refused to eat anything after that first time and he stopped pooping and peeing.
He was on a waiting list at a shelter that my best friend worked at. On the 3rd night, he was at death's door. His eyes were open, but he wasn't moving and was as limp as a dishrag. He was staring off and I was about to lose him. That's when I looked up what to do on Earth Clinic.
After I applied the 50/50 mix to his neck, I put him in a towel lined box with a towel over the top of him and a heating blanket on the lowest setting. About an hour later I smelled poo. I looked in the box and he had passed a little something, but was still lifeless. I cleaned it up (which wasn't much, but very stinky) and lay him back down. About 1 1/2 hours after that he passed a mass/clump and cried out. I was amazed! I thought this kitten was done for sure, but thankfully the ACV/Water mixture was working to move whatever was blocking his intestines or colon. I cleaned up the box again and lay him back down. So this began about 9 pm and by 6 am he was 100% better. He ate normal kitten food after that and was well. He was adopted at the shelter after being in foster til he got big enough to be neutered.
I hope this story helps someone else should they ever be in the same situation with a beloved pet.

I'd been taking borax for at least 5 years for my stiffness & it really helped so I tried a pinch on my dogs food once a day. Within 3 days I noticed a huge difference.

Due to the favorable outcomes, veterinarians are now prescribing LDN for their “patients”. It is currently being used in animals to help lessen the pain of chronic arthritis, to treat some autoimmune disorders and to help slow the growth of some tumors. Good results have been reported in treating lymphoma, adenomas, nasal/sinus cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, degenerative myelopathy and others.

my little Yorkie just had an eye rupture. as if that hasn't been enough we just learned that she is headed toward kidney failure and needs 4 hours of fluid prior to her op. dry food is the worst for them and "for dogs only" has a wet food that is RX from your vet that is low in protein rich in vitamins etc. If you don't have a "FDO" store by you chewy also carries this brand. I know these are difficult issues to face, I'm there with you. xx
