Borax for Arthritis in Dog

My dog was stiff when getting up.

I'd been taking borax for at least 5 years for my stiffness & it really helped so I tried a pinch on my dogs food once a day. Within 3 days I noticed a huge difference.

When your dog goes into a seizure get honey onto the gums asap. Rub the honey into the side of gums in mouth and the seizure should stop within seconds (I heard that from someone and it worked for my dog)

Low Dose Naltrexone Provides Relief for Ill Animals

Due to the favorable outcomes, veterinarians are now prescribing LDN for their “patients”. It is currently being used in animals to help lessen the pain of chronic arthritis, to treat some autoimmune disorders and to help slow the growth of some tumors. Good results have been reported in treating lymphoma, adenomas, nasal/sinus cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, degenerative myelopathy and others.

https://www.ldnscience.org/lp/ldn-animals LDN is a safe, non-toxic and inexpensive drug that helps regulate a dysfunctional immune system.

Re: Chronic Renal Failure in Dog

Hi Jamie,

my little Yorkie just had an eye rupture. as if that hasn't been enough we just learned that she is headed toward kidney failure and needs 4 hours of fluid prior to her op. dry food is the worst for them and "for dogs only" has a wet food that is RX from your vet that is low in protein rich in vitamins etc. If you don't have a "FDO" store by you chewy also carries this brand. I know these are difficult issues to face, I'm there with you. xx

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, México ) 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.

Re: Constipation in Dog

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.

Re: Aloe Vera OK for Cats and Dogs

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.

Re: Dogs and MRSA

Lisa (CA) on 01/06/2025

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, México ) 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

Vera (Colorado) on 12/30/2024

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.
