There are some people saying garlic is toxic to cats, and even dogs, on the webs. Yet the famous herbalist Juliette de Bairacli Levy treated her pets with garlic, no problem. I followed her recipe for garlic enemas for puppy worms with complete success. Does anyone have *real evidence* that this is an issue?

You should be aware that garlic is extremely toxic to cats.

Dog aural hematoma is very confusing to most. Very expensive to surgical repair and surgery fails over 50% with regard to recurrence after sutures are removed. Not to mention the amount of pain and suffering the animal, and owner goes through while cleaning and draining the blood from the ear flap for 2-3 weeks after being sent home with an open wound. Owners should not have this responsibility. Even more, the dog should not be cut open for a blood blister to heal. Granted the arterial break is gong to be the problem until pressure is applied and causes sealing. It happens in nature when the hematoma grows complete and the blood clots. The dog uses this clot to seal and to regrow tissues. We at Auralsplint discovered this in 2001, and since that day have been researching and improving an aural splint treatment to heal the ear in its natural shape, without surgery or pharma injections. Just natural healing while safely enclosed in a splint and taping, forming a thin layer of clot to reduce quickly without shrivel. Far greater results than any other conservative or surgical attempts to treat. Visit us at Auralsplint.org to research your choice to order a Rx kit to your vet clinic or at home to use yourself. It requires a hypodermic needle aspiration before treatment and clean technique must be maintained.

That is great news. Must have been a smaller seroma. For the big balloon sized aural hematomas, no amount of ointment will keep it from shriveling. the size of the resulting clot is the largest determining factor to amount of shrivel. By removing the blood before it clots and applying an aural splint, the blood will be forced to clot in a thin layer, enabling all the benefits and very little of the consequences of shriveling. All we do is help heal aural hematoma in dog. Auralsplint.org

Hi can I use it as a supplement for my dog with pyometra? Or just until the infection is gone? Thank you.

Julie,

My Vet prescribed the usual 3 medicines for a dog with Heart failure : Vetmedin, Furosemide, and Benazapril. His cough got horribly worse on the Vetmedin and Benazapril --which I read on the internet is a side effect of these two drugs. Further, and more importantly, If you read further down on these posts, someone mentioned all of the vitamins that these two drugs leach from the dog's body--vitamins that further drain their body from necessary nutrition for their heart health. It's no wonder that many of these dogs on these mainstream drugs get further lethargic as these drugs are literally draining the life out of them. This site is educating us on the right protocols that will bring life to our pets, and I am very thankful for the information. We all need truth. Vets do their best with the protocols given them, but many of us here have learned that many natural methods have the ability to bring healing without the harmful side effects of the mainstream drugs .

In the last few years I've become acquainted with the use of ACTIVATED CHARCOAL used for either-or-both internal & external applications ... for toxins, infections, & wounds. My family takes it, & our pets, but we have no horses ... so ... I'm here to share two amazing experiences shared online, with pics:

This horse's wound displayed all signs of having been due to the BITE of a BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER: https://charcoalremedies.com/brown-recluse-spider-bites/

This horse was HIT by a TRUCK, & the local vet refused to come for an animal that they assumed would die anyway ... but ... with long-term treatment with A.C. poultices, he healed up without stitches & went back to carrying children in the orphanage where they live: https://charcoalremedies.com/horse-wounds/

Both horses required many A.C. poultice applications over a period of time ... and, both healed fine!

I feel for you. When I have adopted my female cat she had intermitted limping on her back leg and inflamed paw after she was vaccinated with rabies vaccine. It took me months of alternative holistic remedies to get her in shape. I never gave her any rabies vaccine anymore and she is healthy now.

I cured a couple of foxes with mange, with liquid 1% ivermectin. I injected it into a donut or an egg. They liked both. :-) Foxes have a sweet tooth...

I tried using Ted's formula for the mange, not much luck, seemed slow to get under control. I have 3 mini weenies so the full formula was to much, like you cut it by 1/4 and put it in a spray bottle, saturated them which made it a lot easier and less waste. Also, added 3 drops of EO of Cloves which kills mites and 5 drops o f Vit E to offset dry skin. Spraying daily it seems to be working well definitely seeing improvement.

Have you tried deworming with fenbendazole? Could be part of the skinny problem and also dog is young. So they are usually skinny. Give only with a fatty meal while using fenben. Cuz it can affect the liver. Milk thistle is good for the liver d3 omega3s and 6 but more omega 3.

I think this is what I just ordered from Tractor Supply last night. They have so many pet medications.

This is from my notes:

Clove Bud Dosage for Worms in Dogs:

• Small dogs – use ¼ of a whole dry clove, crushed and mixed into food once a day for a week, then skip a week and repeat dosage one more time.
• Medium size dogs - use ½ of a whole dry clove, crushed and mixed into food once a day for a week, then skip a week and repeat dosage one more time.
• Large size dogs - use 1 whole dry clove, crushed and mixed into food once a day for a week, then skip a week and repeat dosage one more time.

Can someone tell me how much ground cloves to put in dog's food for a 41 pound dog please? She she a small # of roundworm eggs. How long should I use the cloves? I am also giving 1/2 tsp finely ground pumpkin seeds per day. New at natural de-worming, so please advise!

My dog had a wound on his leg. Looked a little bit like a rattlesnake bite, except it didn't swell up. Maybe it was a dry bite, don't know. The vet looked at it, gave him some antibiotics. Also said that it wouldn't heal if we couldn't keep him from licking it. He went through the antibiotics and it didn't heal. I tried wrapping it, but it was impossible to keep anything on there. I tried honey, which is one of my favorite remedies for wounds. But, of course, he just licked it more. He had this for months. He didn't lick it very much, but apparently enough that it kept it open.

Then I made some golden paste for the other dog, who had lipomas. Because turmeric is healthy, I added it to both their food. I also slathered turmeric on the one dog's wound.

This dog, he has two all time favorite foods: Coconut oil and spaghetti. But regardless of the fact that the golden paste was made with coconut oil, he apparently didn't much care for the taste. So I think it helped him stop licking it. (I took it too. It's not that horrible of a taste.)

So, whether it was on or all of these:

1. Eating the golden paste in his dog food

2. The healing powers of the golden paste on his leg

3. The unwelcome taste of the golden paste that made him stop licking

His leg healed like it had not done for about 6 months.

This is the recipe I use. I just used cheap dollar store turmeric spice. I'm sure other turmeric is better, but it seemed to work even with the cheap stuff:

1 cup water
1/2 cup turmeric powder
1/3 cup coconut oil
3 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Thank you for that info. I (probably like many others) still search for answers for my pets on earth clinic. Some older threads still hold some valuable information/suggestions, and I sure welcome any new ones! Thank you again for your helpful post.

My dog has a ear Hematoma. I contacted 2 online holistic vets Dr. Jones in Canada and Dr. Basko in Hawaii for advice. One recommended to me to apply homeopathic arnica cream or gel. The other recommended to apply Traumeel ointment or Traumacare cream same ingredients less costly on amazon.com. I bought the Traumacare cream and in 2 weeks the swelling went down. It is almost healed.

GOOD JOB having noticed the improvement in your dog's health when having eaten Coconut oil !!!

A ketogenic diet has been used for many years by health-wise people, to treat their own epilepsy.... And it is very safe to use with our pets .... SO why not use it for our pets that have seizures ...?

"Coconut oil has gained the reputation of being a rather useful addition to everyone's diet. It has various uses .... Coconut oil is also recommended to those who are following the keto diet since it contains more MCTs that can help boost the amount of ketone production and aid in weight loss...."

Phyllis, my dog was having mild seizures, and I came across a video of a holistic vet who recommended melatonin.

1 mg for every 10 lbs weight 1 time a day.

As melatonin promotes sleep I give it to my dog at night before bed.

NOTE: I found the video recommended dosage made my dog sleepy all day so I reduced it by half.

His seizures went from daily to rare.

I just wanted to chime in and say that it is much cheaper to 1/4 the recipe for Mange baths. Here in Cancun there are not many bathtubs around (I don't know of any), so I cut the recipe way down to quarter the amounts and gave the mange cure by sponge bath - and it worked like a charm! Best of luck.
