[YEA] 08/23/2008: Cindy from Wichita, USA writes: "I always keep high potency Apis Mellifica homeopathic remedy on hand. My daughter is allergic to bee stings.
Natural remedies for animals seem to fly in the face of those who claim they only work as placebos.
Shake some unprocessed sea salt into the pooch's water. Domestic animals are notoriously salt deficient. If you know of someone who has a pet with arthritis, you can see the benefits of the watercure immediately. Just shake some sea salt in their water dish. I don't know if it's the salt or if it is the fact that they seem to drink more water if it has a pinch of salt in it, but it works. The "placebo effect" claims so often used against natural remedies won't hold up against a dog that is cured of arthritis or a child cured of asthma."

[YEA] 04/24/2007: Bob from Moscow , Pa. writes: "If you check our pet testimonials On our watercure2.org site and read the home page story of how this was discovered, you will see that curing pet arthritis is not even a challenge. Just add unprocessed sea salt to its food and water and within 24 hours a pet will stand up and walk with a limp even though previously it had been unable to stand. Best of all it is free. Bob Butts"
[YEA] 08/17/2008: Cindy from Wichita, Kansas replies: "I used the water cure for my Lhasa Apso after I had used it on myself with such amazing results. My "puppy" was 16 years old and could barely move around. I simply put a little salt in her water and she immediately started drinking more water. Her water consumption had slowed way down when she started getting old.
Unfortunately, she was already well into kidney failure but she was quite perky and able to jump up on the couch and run up and down the stairs as she hadn't in quite a while. It was very strange. She was perky and happy up to the very end though she was extremely emaciated by then. I was very comforted to have made her last days so happy and active. I miss her very much."
01/08/2010: Anita from Muskegon, Michigan replies: "Hi, My 15 1/2 year old lab is having problems with getting up. I have used sea salt before, as a matter of fact I give her salt baths for skin problems using sea salt from the pet store for tropical fish. Great results! My question - exactly what salt are you using and how much do you put in a bowl of water? Need your help ASAP. Anita"

12/28/2008: Bonnie from Colts Neck, NJ writes: "Shakey dog legs: My 11 year old Jack Russell terrier is in good health walking at least a mile a day and running in a big yard. Over the past year he has developed a shakiness in his rear legs-like a nervous tremor. He is not in pain but I was hoping someone might have a supplement to suggest-He gets a dab of coconut oil daily and I have started ACV drops on his back and water. I was feeding antioxidant vitamins too. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!"
EC: Our dog Max has had this issue for the past few years -- he's turning 15 in March! T-Touch (aka Tellington TTouch) has been very effective at stopping the tremors for a day or two. More about T-Touch here: http://www.ttouch.com/aboutLinda.shtml
Acupuncture has been another helpful technique for this condition, but it's quite expensive.

01/04/2009: Gabbie from Austin, TX writes: "My 11 yr old lab/chow mix has arthritis in his back. Thanks to your helpful posts we're starting a treatment of 10 drops traumeel in 1 oz of Goji juice. He loves Goji juice and it's high in vitamin C and gives us the perfect delivery system for the traumeel. Will research a couple of other items listed and post again if they help."

01/15/2010: Bobbi from Pasadena, Md writes: "How to give Zeel to dogs
I have been told to crush pills into a powder and rub onto gums. I also have been told that the form it comes it should not be altered or touched. It was suggested to just but the tablets into the food. I believe the product works well, but would like some feed back to get the most from this product."

[YEA] 08/07/2008: Katharine from Charleston, SC writes: "Traumeel and Zeel absolutely have been amazing for my animals! It was recommended by a holistic vet that I try the Traumeel and it has worked wonders on my rescue lab with torn ACLs (while waiting for surgery). I stopped for a bit and she began limping again. I definitely attribute her amazing progress to Traumeel. I own a small, natural pet store and was able to get both Traumeel and Zeel. Each product has produced great results in many customers' animals. Traumeel is for injuries or rheumatoid arthritis and Zeel is for osteoarthritis."
08/08/2008: Joyce from oelton, Tn replies: "Hi Katherine, Just wanted to let you know that MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is also safe for your little dogs also. You might want to visit your local Farmer's Co-op to get some to try adding it to their food."
09/10/2008: Diana from Waipu, New Zealand replies: "Hi Katharine, how do administer Traumeel and how many drops? We just got our first dog and as rescued we don't know about his past. He is limping sometimes after lying down and it looks like Arthritis but don't know which type.Thanks, Diana"

[YEA] 03/19/2008: Jg from Dania, USA writes: "I met an alternative/homeopathic veterinarian who suggested I give my dog Heels Traumeel and Zeel for inflammation. I couldn't get the Zeel, but I did try the Traumeel and its like a miracle! I got it from Entirely Pets online.
My regular vet said she thought the recent pains and falling were due to inflammation and not the hip dysplasia so I tried the Traumeel and within hours he was walking straight up again! I hope it lasts!"
