ACV apple cider vinegar seems to be the go~to life~saver in a pinch. I would add a bit of coconut oil. Cod oil.

Water in droppers, several times per day, & water in wet food. No dry food. No kitty treats. And, no clumping kitty litter, no crystal litter. Go natural, like walnut hulls, non~clumping. Whatever makes it cohesive to itself may also be making it cohere to your kitty's peter when he sits on it.

I did try the Pretty Litter for determining if the cat was bleeding, alkaline, acidic, or normal. I would not use it as litter for more than a day, or in a pinch when you need to know. It glows under ultra~violet light, which means forever chemicals.

Water alone does sufficiently help keep these crystals from forming, if feeding good wet food only. It can eventually dissolve them. All of these other things though do increase the chances that things go well for kitty, & the vet visits are kept to a minimum. We're learning a lot here, & doing well. I even tried expressing urine one difficult moment. The bladder felt small & soft. I believe with interstatial cystitis that the pushing & growling is kitty getting into a negative feed~back loop. Forced water & ACV at a 50/50 split or less is very helpful at such times.

Almost out of the woods here now.

I am using droppers & needleless syringes to push water slowly into the cat's mouth. Also adding good water to wet food. No more dry food. No fish. Using the C/d urinary diet, yet feel it is probably better to do further research. How could bland corn be the best thing for this cat issue? Meat protein is acidic. I'm not afraid of being a bit acidic, as it prevents magnesium crystals, & Zeolite dissolves the calcium crystals. Adding cat friendly probiotics at least makes it tasty enough for the cat to eat it.

What a research project! Yet really important. Following two emergency vet visits totaling nearly $7,000, I knew I had to find what natural methods I could try at home. Who can afford an ongoing, recurring problem at that sort of expense?!!!

Prayers, & best wishes for all pets & their families. Better ways to heal people & pets are soon on their way. Truly.

Our newest rescue came in with a minor slit with a bit of red on the tip of one ear. I tried everything and while they all helped, I could never stop it completely. I was stymied. Then one night his follow packmate licked his ear for a couple of minutes. The next morning that ear was mostly healed. As for the blood nose, I would use some DMSO on it (because of all the healing I've seen it do), and because it's reported to correct the dna in an area (topically applied) back to what the dna is supposed to be doing. Read the threads here for usage, application tips, etc, because there's alot to read. When volunteering at another shelter, saw dmso enable a paralyzed dog to walk again. Seems like a blood nose condition should be small in comparison, amiright?

Happy health to your dog!

I personally have combined the Organic UNrefined Virgin Coconut Oil with a 1/2-1 teaspoon of turmeric into my dog's food twice per day (each time I fed my dog) for a couple of weeks. This completely removed my dog's cyst.

Living in the Midwest and having had dogs for 35 years, this rivals anything dead or otherwise disgusting any dog I've ever owned has rolled in or come into contact with in my life.

I tried 1/3 fresh squeezed lemon juice to 2/3 warm water in a misting spray bottle and drenching him in it and it didn't touch it. 2 hours later after his skin had completely dried, I tried baking soda and letting it sit and then wet wiping that off. Nope!

My husband finally returned from work travels on Saturday and gave him a bath with Dawn dish soap and then sprayed some natural dog deodorizer on him that normally makes him smell wonderful, all to little avail.

After the bath, he was finally tolerable to let stay in the house instead of the heated garage without permeating the house, but still took our breath away when we got anywhere near his face.

WHAT FINALLY WORKED TO TAKE THE SMELL COMPLETELY AWAY?

Pouring undiluted plain old White Vinegar on a clean dry sponge and wiping his face with it last night. I did not dilute this nor did I wipe it off. This morning I got up and smelled his face and he smells normal. I can finally give him kisses on his face again! :)

What made me think of this, was over 20 years ago I got a sunburn so bad that I looked like a lobster before the sunburn had really set in. I had friend that worked at a tanning bed and she said to put full strength white vinegar on a sponge and it would take the sting out of the burn and it worked instantly! I no longer hurt and it took the burn felling out of my skin. I let it dry and didn't rinse it off and it didn't hurt my skin in the least.

Full strength white vinegar is also excellent for scalding burns. Just let it soak on the burn for 20 to 30 minutes and it will take the sting away, even on 3rd degree burns. I know because I've had scalding grease burns.

So, you'll smell like a vinegrette salad for a little while. That is a small price to pay for all it can do to remedy what ails you!

For the ones in the feces, I would give a little Diamotaceous Earth, as on a microscopic level D.E. looks like shards of glass to parasites; no harm has ever been noted in our dogs. In fact, the use of D.E. has saved three dogs' lives over the years here from parasites (ie. they are not alive when they come out), parasites that almost killed them as they were so skinny. After consuming D.E. with the gravy on their food, they gained the weight back within weeks.

Seriously though, with Ted's Mange Cure and some D.E. (or Ivermectin, or Colloidal Silver, or Garlic, or Turpentine, etc) for parasites, "You've Got This". I also want to say that I am betting that just Ted's Mange Cure will work for your fur baby. You go, Mama.

omg I hope I'm not to late and your still needing help, you need to get YUNNAN BAIYAO in capsule form ( cream packet with green, in black Chinese writing across the top underneath green in english says Yunnan Baiyao Jiaonang) and if you're in an emergency situation IE splenic rupture or excessive bleeding, in the middle of the packet is a little red INSURANCE pill to give

My dog has his Yunnan and has been on it for the last year and a half for hemangiosarcoma and he is going great! He hasn't had to have to insurance pill and his blood blisters have stopped coming back. He is also taking other remedies but for emergency or rapid help Yunnan is the first

Usually can buy it at Chinese grocery store and online

Yunnan is a Chinese medicine that stops bleeding... Almost instantly... It's all things blood basically.... and helps alot of ailments, it's literally a miracle in a packet if you ask me

I slipped with a Stanley knife and cut through a vein on my hand, it was so extremely serious but luckily I wasn't panicking and rushed to the Yunnan, opened a cap and put the powder on it, in 2- 3 seconds it stopped bleeding... It was shocking tbh :/

Also Everyone knows when rocky has had his Yunnan (in a good way)

The packet explains what to do and what it is in more depth.. I found out about it on a vets forum accidentally when I was looking for something else...

If your pup is still with us this will stop the HS in its tracks and buy you time, I just hope I'm not to late :(((
