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.

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

Re: Tiger Balm for Flatulence

Fiona (Royal Oak Michigan) on 08/06/2025

I agree I just rubbed it my big dogs tummy he ate and it’s not sitting right with him, his tummy’s tight and he is just gassy, tiger ligament, it works for so many things, gassy tummy, headache sinus issue, congestion anxiety. I have so many bottles in my house, plus I’m a massage therapist so it’s great for muscle aches.

Flaxseed Reduced Cat's Hairballs and Improved Hair

Sandra (Poulsbo WA) on 08/03/2025

My 9 year old cat started throwing up fur every two to three days. I read your post about flax seed and decided to try it. I grind fresh flax seeds each day and started giving her 1/4 teaspoon in some food each day. It's been six days now since she last threw up. It also has helped her very dry stools. I'm a fan.

Hamster With Fur Loss

Madi (Tampa, FL) on 08/01/2025
1 out of 5 stars

I have a Syrian hamster who is losing a lot of fur on her legs and back. I thought it was fur loss from mites, so I treated her with Beaphar hamster ivermectin medicine, but she is still losing fur. I do not know if it is Cushing's disease or simply old age (I got her brand new from the pet store ten months ago, but I do not know how old she was when I got her). I cannot afford a vet visit. What can I do? I have tried coconut oil on the spots to no avail. Any help would be very appreciated.

Re: Borax for Yeast in Dog

Bex7 (OR) on 07/27/2025

I just fill a large bowel with warm water, pour in a handful of borax, 3 capsules of boric acid, and a squirt of hydrogen peroxide, and place my 10 lb. doxie in the tub. Using no soap, I just wash her off with the shower head hose and then soak her in the warm water mixture from the bowel. I then place her on a towel and carry her to the living room and let her shake it out. I do not dry her. She gets in her bed with just cleaned bedding and cuddles under the blanket until dry. This has gotten rid of her flakey, itchy, scabby skin. I do this twice a week.

Borax for Yeast in Dog

Kristen (Florida ) on 07/26/2025

Hi, you mentioned in the article about using a borax and 1% hydrogen peroxide solution applied topically for yeast. What is the amount of borax to add and how much water; is there an exact recipe for this different than the formula used for mange that you spray on? Also to clarify, we’re talking about borax not boric acid. I have a Westie, 17lbs

Re: Seizure in Pets

Trish (Virginia Beach) on 07/23/2025

Becky, Years ago my yellow lab had severe seizures. He was prescribed phenylbarbitol and was on that for a few years until, On a walk, I bumped into a man walking his dog and he told me it was the dog food. He suggested I get a high end dog food. I can't recall the brand right now, but I ended up getting Taste of the Wild Salmon and slowly reduced the meds until he wasn't taking them anymore. He didn't have any more seizures, well one time I gave him a can of I think it was science diet my vet was selling and he had one. But I never gave him that again and he never had another seizure. I do believe it can be the heartworm and flea tick preventatives, too. But I offer this in case it is the food as it was in my case. Good luck! They are family!

Coconut Oil Worked Best for Fleas

Joy (Lake Martin, AL) on 07/20/2025
5 out of 5 stars

We recently had a flea infestation in our house (foxes living close by). We tried everything. ACV/water 50/50 works great if you catch fleas early. Diatomaceous Earth sprinkled and combed through their coats seemed to help a lot (use lightly and make sure your dogs are not breathing the powder particles). We used shampoos, sprays, bombed the house… vaccuumed daily and dumped and bagged the contents outside…. Washed their bedding in hot water…treated our yard multiple times, but we live in the country where our dogs can run freely. We finally got rid of the fleas on the dogs using coconut oil (extra virgin /unrefined/organic). I rubbed a small amount into their coats and combed them. Fleas hate coconut oil- do it outside because they will jump off the dog. The Lauric acid in it repels them and will kill them. I tried this last because I thought it would be messy and our old dogs can’t stay outside for long in the heat. But I was able to put old t-shirts on them when they came in the house so they wouldn’t grease up everything they touched. :) I combed them daily and re-applied as needed. What a great non-toxic solution!! Our dogs are old and unable to take the normal preventative meds - pills or topical.. Organic coconut oil is now my go to treatment for the first sign of itching. It is good for itchy skin from allergies too!! For other pet treatments lookup Dr Jones - veterinary secrets on You Tube. Most importantly pray continuously!! All glory to God for helping me find a safe solution!!

I'm incredibly thankful for the info. in this article (found through Natural Pets channel on Telegram)!!! My cat was making gurgling sounds yesterday. I mixed up 50/50 ACV & distilled water, gave her 1/8 teaspoon by mouth twice yesterday and again this morning. She's almost 100% better. I haven't heard any abnormal sounds from her anyway!!

Re: Feline Chin Acne

Feline acne: Simpler to treat with 3% peroxide and iodine tincture. No hair trimming necessary. Just clean the fur with the peroxide, and dab iodine on the sores with a fingertip. Works like a charm. And fast. And best of all, the kitty does not mind.

Feline Chin Acne - Combined Remedies Helped

bc [email protected] (CA) on 07/13/2025
5 out of 5 stars

This worked on severe chin acne on my redhead Persian, Tika. The whole front half of her chin was covered in dark patch acne. I combined several things at the same time from other threads and it worked. Give it two weeks. Here's what you'll need. Flea comb, fine. The finer the better!

Neosporin
Chamomile or simple black tea bags (anti-microbial)
Colloidal Copper

Box of tissues, several q-tips in a plastic bag in your kit Fine scissors
All-glass feeding and drinking bowls

(All these things are available at Amazon)

If it's more of a long hair cat, trim the fur around the chin area. You don't want long fur here. Brew a small glass half full with your tea bag. Pour in a small cap of colloidal copper. The brew should still be good and hot, but not scalding when you start your procedure. Make sure your hands are washed and clean. Sit on the couch and lay your cat on its back on your knees, head furthest away. They submit easier in this position. If your cat is wild get them in a cat burrito blanket for the treatment and then laying on your knees. WARM COMPRESS. Fold your tissue in quarters and dip a corner in the hot liquid. Lay it on the chin and hold it there to get all the pores to open and all the acne crusties to soften and loosen. Do this a few times over a couple minutes. Take your flea comb and run it carefully through the short fur on the chin, taking as many crusties as you can. It helps to do a "sawing" motion as you run it through the cats fur, and tilt the comb as you go - so the crusties hit the tip of the comb first. Once you've got the area 'crusty free', take your Neosporin and dose the chin, then use a qtip to spread and "get it in there". Little circles. Don't be shy with the sporin. Do this at least once a day, and for the first week twice a day would be good so you get a running start. Change your food and water bowls to glass and NEVER use plastic. Don't even use ceramic, it has fine fissures and can attract bacteria and dirt. I'm just going to throw in a couple of other tips while I'm at it as my 21 year old tabby just had blood work done and the vet said she's got the damn blood of a 1 year old. If you feed kibble stay away from crap like Royal Canin and Purina and Fancy Feast. Look for brands that have "organ" meats for high nutrition. Try to stay away from seed oils like canola and sunflower etc. Same with wet food. Examine ingredients always. I use Nulo, Wellness and some other ones. (Earth Clinic, if you need to change the paragraph because I "named names", feel free).
