Re: Cat Seizures - Remedies Needed

Vera (Colorado) on 01/30/2025

Children with seizures are often very successfully treated by 2 days of fasting (to get them into ketosis) followed by a ketogenic diet. Which should be easy, cats thrive on a real meat diet with some minor greens and vitamins.

Bromelain for Dog's Itchy Skin and Hair Loss

Bromelain for dogs itchy skin and hair loss

My daughter's pitbull mix had super red skin with tons of scratching. Nothing the vet gave him worked. Shots, allergy medication, change of food, etc. I was taking bromelain for myself and thought "I wonder if you can give this to a dog?" YES you can and it goes by body weight. I was babysitting for my daughter's dog for a weekend and started to give him one capsule in the am and one in the pm. By the next day the redness was almost all gone and he was not scratching or licking his paws. Seriously this dog has been transformed and is so much more comfortable.

Re: Constipation in Dog

Katzie (Cancun, MÃ©xico ) on 01/21/2025

Geez, I feel kinda silly for simply pouring a bunch of butter and chicken fat on my dog's kibble, which greased up the works and solved her problem in no time. For kids, I give'em a bowl of popcorn and a bottle of water - this also works. I am glad to know there are other treatments, too, in case the fat and/or fiber fail me.

Constipation in Dogs.

The Spatula, Volume 23, p. 219. 1916

Treatment by means of saline injection and liquid paraffin has proved efficacious with many practitioners. It is a mild and agreeable cure compared with repeated administrations of cathartics and the like, besides being much quicker in action and seldom producing enteritis and gastritis. The mode of application is: get the animal by the hind legs . elevate these, then inject into the rectum from one to two pints of warm salt solution (3ij . to 3 vj. to the pint), and keep the legs elevated for some time after. Vomiting usually occurs then, after which liquid paraffin can be given by the mouth in doses of from 3j. to 3 vj., according to breed, age, size, weight, and condition of the animal. The bowels usually move in the course of a few hours, but if no response, the treatment can be repeated and continued at least twice a day until a result is obtained. Usually no more than twice is necessary, unless it be a very pronounced and obstinate case. Care must be taken in the after-feeding, as a recurrence is easily produced through carelessness. – Chemist and Druggist.

Re: Hydrogen Peroxide Use for Cats

Vera (Colorado) on 01/16/2025

Cats, like other animals, have enzymes that can degrade hydrogen peroxide. One such enzyme is catalase, which is found in the peroxisomes of cells and is responsible for breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

I have used H2O very successfully for the treatment of feline acne, with several cats. Please don't spread panicky info without providing further info.

I agree. This is right up there with garlic being toxic to dogs. IT'S NOT! You would have to feed a whole lot of garlic for toxicity. I've been giving aloe vera to my dogs for years! It's incredibly helpful for the gut and I give a lot more than what people here give.

Re: Trying Turmeric, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil for Lipoma on Dog

Annabel (Northumberland) on 01/08/2025

Did the castor oil work? My cat has a large lipoma that I want to try castor oil on.....I make a paste with coconut oil. I have read that it's not good to ingest too much castor oil, so just half a teaspoon mixed with a tablespoon of castor oil. The problem is that she licks it all straight off.....of course. Can anyone help or advise, please. I am so wanting to help her.

I read somewhere that Turmeric can kill MRSA. Make a paste with water and paste it on the infection. Not sure what to do if its internal. Just make sure that its a good quality with 95% curcumin..

Borax and Peroxide for Mange

Katzie (Cancun, MÃ©xico ) on 01/06/2025
5 out of 5 stars

I run a shelter and swear by Ted's Remedy! And when one has symptoms, I watch the rest very closely for any symptoms starting. Dogs "mouth" each other alot during play and I have seen them pass it to each other this way. If your new doggos show symptoms, no problem simply start treating them, too. Whether it can spread depends on whether it's demodex or sarcoptic mange, but here at the shelter, I do not care what type they have; I treat immediately. That being said, since you've already started treatment, those mites are on the run, and nothing may get passed along at all. I have been treating rescue#6 for a month now and none of the others started showing any symptoms at all. So I would say keep with the treatments and keep a very close eye on the others, but they will probably be okay.

Borax and Peroxide for Mange

Have you tried ivermectin? It cures mange quite rapidly. I have put it in eggs or donuts for the wild foxes, worked like a charm.

Borax and Peroxide for Mange

Marylynn (Blaine, Washington) on 12/30/2024

My little Howie has terrible skin & losing his hair for about six years now. It's been awful & I have spent hundreds & hundreds for tests, vet treatments that don't work and I am so tired of the suffering & itching with little improvement. I just did her first treatment with Ted's recipe & it helped a lot because he quit itching and is more comfortable, so I will keep going with it. There are no mites that I can tell, just lots & lots of mold on his legs & body, with some on his face & head. Wondering if this is contagious as we have a small shit-zu coming to live with us in a few days as my friend passed & it was her dog. Worried this may affect him as well? I will keep up with the plan because it seems the borax really helped with the itching so he is more comfortable. He sleeps with us & we don't itch & I keep his bedding really clean as well. But does anyone know if it is contagious?

Re: Noni Juice Cured Dog After He Ate Poisoned Possum

Dano (Ontario) on 12/29/2024

In all cases of poisoning, Activated Charcoal is the usual first go-to. It is not effective for absolutely every thyp of poison, but it is effective for most, and the sooner it is given the better results you get. Always good to have some on hand. I'm glad your dog made it.

Re: Noni Juice Cured Dog After He Ate Poisoned Possum

Awesome! I have known the health benefits of Non Juice for a very long time but couldn't stomach the taste of pure Non Juice at that time and forgot about it. Now, a new rescue who was very weak to begin with, got food poison from a Golden Coral steak. (who knows what they soak it in to make it taste good) After 6 days of refusing food and water and very heavy and laborious breathing, I thought he would not survive. I gave him a little ACV diluted with water (10 drops ACV with 15 drops water) with a syringe, 4 times a day. He took it well. He is a little terrier, ways about 8 pounds and is very skinny. It brought his appetite back and he drank some raw organic milk and asked for more. I gave him also some cooked pastured chicken with broth, which he also took very well. I think he is over the worst now and I belief he will survive. However, I have ordered organic Noni juice for my 15 yr old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, my rescued terrier and myself. I will try the diluted in water version and see how it is received. The health benefits are truly enormous and proven. But the ACV really did save his life. Hope this helps. Here is a link to a website I like.

Bananas for Elderly Dogs

Benita (Boston MA) on 12/26/2024
5 out of 5 stars

My elderly dog (one of my five furbabies) tends to be very low energy due to his heart valve regurgitation (MVVD). One of the things that really seems to give him energy is supplementing his diet with a bit of banana daily. He is a small dog so I slice up an inch or two of banana for him to eat. (For a large dog you might give more). That's all it takes. The next day he's "full of beans"!

In addition to this, I give all of my dogs healthy real foods along with their dry food diet. So chopped apples and carrots, broccoli, yogurt, coconut, a small amount of cheese, etc. But bananas consistently give him the most energy!
