I have a four year old dougue de bordeaux who developed conjunctivitis in one eye. Like most others a vet bill looked likely to overwhelm us. I looked at your site, considered the ACV and thought it's six australian dollars what the heck. Now with my dog being almost 65 kilograms I thought the capful recommmended for a little maltese and the like would not suffice. So I administered about half a cup to the back of my dogs neck and rubbed it well in. OK so he smelt like someone had urinated in a pair of old sports shoes, but sure enough with 24 hours, I kid you not, not a sign of conjunctivitis, no discharge, no swelling or redness. Even now two weeks later, no reccurence." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/conjunctivitis.html&name=ACV_39886 /Pets/conjunctivitis2.rss2 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:32:55 EST [YEA] Laura from Atlanta, Georgia writes: "Dog: Boxer/lab mix (1 year) Aliment: Pink Eye/conjunctivitis Cure: 1/2 apple cider vinegar 1/2 water placed at the back of my dog's neck.

An hour after a normal bath Monday night I noticed her squinting her eyes and the lids looked a bit swollen. Shortly after that I noticed her eyes tearing she was pawing at her face. After a few hours she didnt want to open her eyes at all and it was apparent she was very uncomfortable. Throughout the night I rinsed her eyes with lukewarm water to try help with her discomfort. The next morning I took her to her vet only to be told it was most likely shampoo in her eyes. They also did a rinse and sent us home with an ointment to be applied every 8 hours for the next 6 days. That night, I read about the ACV remedy on this site and frankly I found it unbelievable but since so many people said it worked, I stored it away just in case. The next morning she was exactly the same. Didnt want to get out of bed, wanted to be right up under me at all times and her eyes were mostly closed. She was so uncomfortable and helpless and whining and I felt so bad that I couldnt help her so I tried my "unbelievable" home remedy. I soaked up a teaspoon full of the ACV in a cotton ball and applied it to the back of her neck squeezing the cotton and rubbing the ACV into her skin. I put her back in bed. About 30 minutes later to my surprise she hopped out of bed and met me in the kitchen tail wagging and eyes open! I was thrilled! I dont know how or why it works but it did for her and she obviously feels better. I will be using the ACV for the next 10 days instead of the vet's ointment." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/conjunctivitis.html&name=ACV_31455 /Pets/conjunctivitis2.rss14 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:36:27 EDT Sylver from Galway, Ireland writes: "Hey, My dog has conjunctivitis and I was wondering, why put the vinegar and/or ACV on the back of the neck???

I couldn't afford $200 the vet wanted so out of desperation I decided to use my leftover antibiotic capsule (Amoxicillian). My sister who is a nurse used my cats weight times 5 mg. antibiotic per pound and figured that a 500 mg. capsule could be divided into 16 dosages. From information I read about, I gave my cat one dosage a day for 10 days and we are now 7 days off the amoxicillian and there is no sign of the infection coming back. You can tell that it is still healing as there is crusty stuff, like scabbing still coming out of his eyes. I am glad I used the antibiotic. This cat is a stray that just showed up in my yard one day and he is a delight. Lastly, I must say I am very angry that I can't afford to go to a vet. Everything is outragious.

I was really stressed about it as he looked so uncomfortable and it was on a Sunday so the vet was closed. After researching the symptoms and finding out what it was I thought I'd search for alternaive treatments. Thankfully I came across this site. After reading so many positve reports about Apple Cider Vinegar treatment I went to buy some straight away. I mixed 1 tsp of ACV with 2 tsp cooled boiled water, parted the fur on his neck poured some of it onto it and held a cotton wool ball on it for a few seconds. I also wet another one with the mixture and wiped over his eye and then wet another one and wiped down from the corner of his eye to his nose. I basically just folllowed the advice on this site. Smokey opened his eye almost instantly (although not completely). Within a few hours his eye looked back to normal apart from a small amount of discharge in the corner of his eye. I used some more mixture to clean the eye area a few more times to make sure. What a massive relief, a course of treatment from a vet would've taken longer to work and I saved on vet bills. The ACV only cost £1.35 and knowing that it was a natural remedy was a bonus. Thank you to everyone who posted this remedy previously.

The first few times I used it undiluted, but I think that it was too strong, so I began diluting it: 1ts ACV to 2ts water. I've been putting it on the back of his neck 2-4 times a day for 5 days now and it's almost completely gone. I have also been wiping his eye off 3-5 times a day with a cotton ball soaked with peroxide (I think that this has helped more than the ACV), and once a day I rinse his eye with a mason jar full of luke warm water. Every time that I rinse with water it is an instant improvement. I think that a combination of the three cheap home remedies has cured him, and I recommend doing more than just putting ACV on the back of their necks. I've also started putting 1ts of AVC into his water, and he is drinking it.

It looked like the normal eye-boogies he gets so I ignored it until later that day when it was clear he had an eye infection, as I could see drak green/grey gunk inside the eye itself. It was a Saturday morning so I called the vet to make an appt for later that day. I really didn't want to fork out $130-odd bucks (by the time you factor in the weekend consult plus anti-biotic prescription and then the follow-up visit), so I started searching for home remedies. I've used this site before for some opinions on extra virgin coconut oil (which I now use solely as my beauty routine and for any cuts/abrasions/infections) as well as Apple Cider Vinegar (which I use for digestive balancing). I saw all the posts about dabbing ACV on the back of a pet's neck and thought, well if this many people swear by it I'll give it a try. I tried this as well as a weak solution (just enough to colour the water) to flush my dog's eye. After I washed the eye out I applied EVCO on a cotton ball to soothe the skin and hopefully help with the infection. I did this several times over the course of the day and it seemed to improve so I cancelled my vet appt, thinking at worst I could take him on the Monday. I thought the EVCO was doing the job so I continued with this as I figured it was also more comfortable for my dog. His eye got worse again in the afternoon and was quite yucky by evening. By this time it was too late for a vet visit and I felt like a terrible "mum"! I tried the ACV on the back of the neck again, and this time I used at least a quarter of a cup undiluted, as he has SUPER thick hair and I really had to work it in to reach the skin. Most of it rubbed off or stayed in the outer coat I think. Anyway, enough must have got in this time because he started really quickly improving, so I did one more dose before bed. This morning I very tentatively checked on him thinking it would either be much better or totally disgusting. Luckily, it was much better and today after a couple of the same treatments it's looking really good. Still some eye-boogie but the reddening inside lower eyelid has really improved. I still used some EVCO for soothing the eye area, he seemed to like that. So he stinks like high heaven and the house smells like "rotten feet" as my boyfriend tells me, but he's just as impressed as I am and I can't believe this actually WORKED. I don't know HOW this could work but the main thing is it does so without risk of harm. As any lab owner would know, they traditionally have pretty sensitive skin, but this doesn't appear to bother him. It saved us a wad of cash and it cleared his infection quicker than anti-biotics would have. I think he knows it's working too because he willingly leans his neck toward me when I put it on now.

I tried it, no, seriously, my cats eyes that have been just laced in red, ARE CLEAR. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would never have believed it. If you are suffering with this eye problem in your cats or dogs, you really need to try this, for them most of all and also for your peace of mind. I used one tablespoon of Apple Cidar Vinegar to two tablespoons of water. I put it on the back of the neck and rubbed it in, and I also (CAREFULLY NOT TO GET TOO CLOSE TO THE EYES), with a disposable make up pad, wiped each side of their nose below the eye where their eyes drain, BUT NOT TOO CLOSE TO THEIR EYE ITSELF. Cleared it right up."
