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

Hollyhock (America) on 08/20/2025

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.

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

Harlan (Moulton Alabama) on 08/14/2025
5 out of 5 stars

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.

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!!
