Re: Seeking Parasite Remedies for Chickens

Chad (South Central KY) on 06/02/2026

I've been keeping chickens for over 25 years and only once noticed a problem with parasites when I kept them in a small area and only occasionally let them out while I was building a fence. Never have had a problem when they always are allowed to roam free all day in that fenced half acre pasture. But diatomaceous earth worked that time. It's usually added to animal feed in small amounts at local mills that still mix their own. Another good remedy for nearly everything is Chlorine Dioxide made fresh with drops every few days(degrades over time and won't last even a week mixed). Put them in their water in a pale with a lid with those little drip nipples or some other opaque closed container(with just a little cup to drink from. How much is anyone's guess. I started out with about 10 drops in a half gallon of water with no problem and later mixed those 10 drops in a much smaller amount to where they'd drink it within a few days. Do this for a time and then stop and repeat if problem persists. Probably not good to do continuously since they will become depended on it. Best thing to do with all animals is not to baby them too much. Give them the most basic of needs and let nature take it's course. The more man tries to intervene the worst the outcome seems to be. Just a thought.

Diatomaceous Earth!! If you look ar the stuff with a microscope, it looks like shards of glass which cuts parasites up on a micro level! Here at my dog shelter we have saved many dogs using D.E. (mixed with milk or water). With chickens, I am not experienced as to how this could be added to their feed and/or water. Could you make it smell palatable to a chicken like a dog. I just know the stuff works!

I use Organic Apple Cider Vinegar w the mother for my babies ears. They love to swim, so it’s imperative to reset their ears, after being in Salt Water.

Re: Black Salve for Tumors in Pets

when using Black salve I have found that putting a bit of coconut oil on it helps releive the pain significantly, and after the tumor drops out, immediatley fill the hole with coco oil- it stops the pain and speeds healing, more often than not it will leave a minimal scar- if any.

Re: Hydrogen Peroxide, DMSO for Tumors in Pets

Vickie Netzloff (MI) on 05/14/2026

Wanting to know how many parts hydrogen peroxide to how many parts DMSO? My cat has a large tumor on his shoulder & one on underside of front paw. I love him dearly & just ordered some food grade hydrogen peroxide from Amazon. This sounds like a winning combo as the peroxide brings oxygen to the tumor. Cancer cells thrive in low oxygen.

Re: Yeast Infections in Dogs

Deenbert (Ocala FL) on 04/27/2026

My sheltie’s beautiful white paws turned orange and my sneakers turned orange as well when we summered in Ohio. Vet said he had a yeast infection from licking it on his paws. She recommended vinegar. Turned out that the orange came from a grass fungus, commonly called “lawn rust.” It’s easy to remedy. If not remedied, it will persist. The HOA does not pay attention and is not interested in spending money to give the grass what it needs.

Re: Cat With Blocked Nasal Passages and Eyes - Upper Respiratory Infection

Katzie (Cancun, Mexico) on 04/26/2026

First thing I'd give your cat is Colloidal Silver. 1 to 2 Tsps.

I also wanted to ask how you know it's a Respiratory Infection? The reason I ask is this: One of my rescue dogs nearly died last year. She had eye gunk and a clogged nose too. In fact, I had to pick that dogs nose so she could breathe easier, for weeks. After noting her losing alot of weight and sleeping 20hrs a day, that she in fact had a parasite. I administered Colloidal Silver 3x a day, as well as 1 Tsp of Diamotaceous Earth at the same time. I'd put them on a spoon together and down the gullet they went. When she no longer had the eye snot, I knew she was clear. She gained the weight back very quickly.

Your fur baby is very sick right now and needs the Colloidal Silver right away! It's good for parasites too. Give your cat 1 or 2 tsps and you should see improvement within a day or two.

Fyi: for that very sick dog, within 1/2 hr of giving her the D.E. & Colloidal Silver combo, she ate!!! 1/2 hr!! Amazing.

Please update us if you can!

Vera (Colorado) on 04/26/2026

If you do have a vet, ask for a bag or two of saline (without a visit), and administer at home. Dehydration is her worst enemy right now. I have done it at home, you will probably need another person to help you hold her. But it's doable. That will give her more time while you are working on the rest of it.

With clearing eye gunk in kitties, I have had very good results from colloidal silver. Just rub it in full strength.

There is a great product called Snoot (amazon) that clears nasal passages really well. I have not tried it on cats, but it's not toxic in any way. Squirting in some diluted 3% peroxide could help too (cut it with water, half and half). Good luck with your furry friend!

Colloidal silver in her water and clean her face with it. If you have a nebulizer put Colloidal silver in and have her breathe it in, or a cool mist vaporizer put cat in cat carrier and direct the mist into the carrier. I am so sorry your cat is suffering.

Cat With Blocked Nasal Passages and Eye Gunk- Upper Respiratory Infection

Rimmonah (Norvelt USA) on 04/26/2026

I need help for 10 year old female cat with severe upper respiratory infection that includes blocked nasal passages and eye gunk. She won’t eat but still drinks and has white foamy vomit. She hasn’t eaten for 5 days even with tuna water added to her wet cat food. She is fading fast.

I tried to get her to drink water with ACV with mother as suggested here, but no go. For three days I have applied the ACV 1/2 water/vinegar solution to her paws and her neck—twice a day.

Unfortunately, I am unable to take her to a vet. How can I get her nasal passages cleared? I have been washing her face with warm water using a face cloth to remove the eye gunk and around her nostrils several times a day. I don’t have a bulb syringe to extract the nasal mucus but I don’t think it would work well because the mucus is dry. This is the first time I have encountered this type of illness with a feline and I have had 7 kitties over the years.

Every day, I think will be her last as she sleeps most of the time, but wags her tail at the sound of my voice or touch. She still manages to get up and get to the litter box but tonight she was unable to get inside and emptied her bladder on the mat. My poor sweet girl. I’m worried that this illness has created more internal damage.

Any suggestions for what I can do to clear some of the nasal blockage and get her to eat are greatly appreciated.

Re: Borax Dosage

Sue (UK) on 04/21/2026

With respect, I think you might be conflating the teaspoon of borax in a litre of water (which provides the concentrate according to Newnham protocol) with the teaspoon of this concentrate which is then ingested... giving you the 3mg boron in the ingested teaspoon solution. (It's a teaspoon (5ml) of a litre of water with a teaspoon dissolved in it initially) This ongoing confusion is because of the two very different protocols of Newnham and Ted)

Re: Borax for Dogs

Art (California) on 04/16/2026

Hi Denise,

I just weighed one level full measuring teaspoon of Borax on my digital milligram scale and it weighed 4009 mg. Borax is said to contain 11.34% boron as mentioned at the following link under the heading, "Technical Definition" :

https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/chemistry/borax-mineral

So if one level full measuring teaspoon is approximately 4000 mg and you multiply that by .1134 (boron content of the teaspoon of borax), that equals 453.6 mg of boron in one teaspoon of borax, not 30mg as you stated.

We want to be good to our dogs!

Re: Diatomaceous Earth for Feral Cat Colony

Katzie (Cancun, Mexico) on 04/15/2026

I think that mixing 1 TSP of D.E. with each can of wet food is a stellar idea! They won't notice it and parasites will die before they can make any of them sick too.

Diatomaceous Earth for Feral Cat Colony (New Pets Page)

lgllyblonde (Hillsboro, OR) on 04/14/2026
5 out of 5 stars

Hello, I feed a colony of about 25 feral cats. I have a wonderful community that supports me with donations. I am always looking for natural treatments to help improve the life of these cats. I have read a lot about DE as a dewormer and natural flea and tick treatment. I would like to add it to their wet food I give them every other day. When I feed them, there’s no such thing as individual dishes of food. When I took over feeding them, I just put down a 22 lb bag of dry food and cut the whole front of the bag away. They can basically come eat when they want. When I take wet food out, I open 20 cans of wet food into a tub, then I spoon this onto the dry food for them. I usually spread their dry food between a few places at this time so they call all feed. If I added 1/2 a tsp for every serving of wet food and mix it in well, do you think it would be safe for these cats? They do live in a barn on a farm, although the owner would prefer they weren’t there. I feed and water them and I do have an area where I have some cat beds with blankets for them. I know that straw is better than blankets but the owner doesn’t want the straw in the area the cats sleep in. It’s a tough situation, I can only do so much for them without the owner of the property objecting. So I look for small things I can do that will make a difference in their lives. DE sounds like it could improve their health, take care of fleas, and help their coats. Could anyone help me out with their thoughts on this?
