Great point Gina. What is the correct dosage for large to medium sized dogs?

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.

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

Onlytruthintheworldkjv (Sonomacounty) on 08/19/2025

Peace and Greetings, ma'am.

Thank you for sharing. I am currently going through the exact same thing. Tennis ball size lump on my pup's right side of throat. Was concerned it was blocked salivary gland or worse lymphoma. Took her to emergency clinic they drained it said it's hematoma and now it's back 2 days later. They gave me amoxicillin and doggy ibuprofen which I'm hesitant to give her as I only believe in natural remedies.

Can you please share the dose amount of turmeric and burdock you gave your baby? And for how long until it dissipated back to normal?

I've been giving calendula & rosemary to stimulate blood circulation, and it doesn't seem to bother her eating drinking sleeping or desire to romp about, but it is unsightly.

Thanks again & kind regards.

Re: Hyperthyroid in Cats

Steph (KS) on 08/16/2025

Anyone else who comes here looking for more information on treating cats with HyperT, I recommend you read the page on HyperT in humans. There are cat stories there. After reading it I ordered NHV Resthyro. I ordered it from the company itself because they seem to provide great customer support and sometimes supplements sold on Amazon are counterfeit and my cat's health is too important to me to take a chance on that. I've already started my cat on the med from the vet, but I plan to discuss it with the vet and have him checked regularly for a while to see if he can be weaned off the med or taken to an even lower dose.

Re: Help for Hyperthyroid in Cats

Steph (Kansas) on 08/16/2025

Same here, Nadirah. I'm cutting all fish from my cat's diet. I found some black mold near one if his sleeping places. That's all I can think of. I did see somewhere recommendation to give the pet ACV, so I am putting a small amount in his drinking water. I would love to hear from anyone else who has any ideas.

Re: Castor Oil for Canine Cataracts

Vera (Colorado) on 08/14/2025

Harlan, what exactly did you do, how often, for how long?

Was there anything else you did besides castor oil?

Do you know for sure he could see rather than going by smell and familiarity?

Re: Congestive Heart Failure in Dog

Dr. John Robyn Gamble (TX) on 08/14/2025

Theresa,

Your information is not quite true, as you can go online to the Standard Process website and they will show you there, the practitioners that sell their products. Then contact whichever one you want, and place your order directly with them. OR, you can also order Standard Process directly from Amazon although they may not have every one of their products listed, but most of them are there. That’s where I have purchased most of mine: Amazon.

Castor Oil for Canine Cataracts

I cured my dog of cataract blindness twice using 100% pharmaceutical grade castor oil … not the kind you get at Walmart for your stomach … I still have the bottle I used my dog died in 2014 at 13. However he was able to see when he died.

Feeding Before Bed for Vomiting Issues in Dogs

Josey (Las Vegas) on 08/12/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Feeding before bed is a game changer for my Lhapso/Bichon mix. She was throwing up just about every morning. Trips to the vet ended with a huge bill and a shrug from the vet. He had no answers. But just feeding her about 1/2 cup of food right before bed did the trick! Thank you to the original poster of this. Such a simple remedy to such a disruptive problem!! And my little dog especially thanks you. She went through such misery, but she’s back to her happy self now!

Re: Seeking Pyloric Stenosis Remedies for Dogs

Vera (Colorado) on 08/08/2025

Ragarding Hill's pet food: Many years ago, it was prescribed for our 16 year old incontinent kitty. It was expensive, looked awful, smelled awful, and she didn't like it. For the little while I made her eat it, it made no difference.

I wonder if vets get kickbacks from pushing this brand.

If I were to face that again, I would go with homemade.

Re: Seeking Pyloric Stenosis Remedies for Dogs

Keshia (CA) on 08/08/2025

Hi Kat,

My 15 y.o. chihuahua rescue that I've had for four years is struggling with this diagnosis. Veterinarians are recommending Hills diet GI biome food, which he has tried and did not like or respond to well. I am looking for a nutritionist. Did you have any luck finding a good dog nutritionist. I know this post is old but hoping to hear back

Thanks,

Keshia
