There is an article online that stated foxes may have a single litter of pups which have various fathers.

Any suggestions for my cat with his issues I already stated at length. It isnt megacolon is the best thing my vet concluded. He might have always had constipation as I adopted him at 6 y old. Previous owner have him pumpkin or squash baby food in his wet food. Pumpkin doesn't seem to work any more, I use canned if I do use.

Yes, the better foods are slightly pricier. My 11 yr old male kitty has digestive issues and has extracted teeth issues (her had 10 teeth pulled last May 1 '23.) F.Feast has a Savory Centers that he can handle, as it sounds like canned food is better for them. Although mine still desires some dry. PureVita by Nutrasource is very good & worked for a couple years, price is ok & they do have it at Chuck&Don's the small bag ~3lbs is 11.99 I think (used to be 10.99 inflation is live&well mr. President). Other than that I got a good prescription food: Royal Canadae gastrointestinal "can" food diet smooth loaf/ there's chunk's or a pate. The dry food of this brand Max cat ate only for a short time and then refused it. *Also a question for EC is if they know of remedy or ideas as my cat is fairly healthy but gets constipated. My apt is very small (560 sq ft. Senior's Apt.) and not much stretching room for a lg orange /white cat)!

Have you looked into DMSO? I volunteer at shelters down here and have heard of 2 dogs walking again after being paralyzed from being hit by cars. Tons of info on DMSO on this site!

Frankincense is supposed to be good for tumors (shrinking them). Please look into that. DMSO would be good with it, too. If its in any way cancerous, cut off all sugar, including kibble. Cancer loves sugar and flour raises blood sugars. So meat&veggies only for awhile.

Hello Pieta,

A possible cause and/or significant contributor could be GLYPHOSATE poisoning, aka RoundUp. They are finding high levels of GLYPHOSATE (aka, RoundUp) in animals which can cause severe joint deterioration (and in humans!), among causing many other severe symptoms and diseases. The glyphosate replaces a critical amino acid, glycine, in the joints, causing eventual deterioration.

Can get a urine test for this. See your holistic Vet.

Exposure includes many sources. Anything not organic or 100% grass fed meat is often highly contaminated with glyphosate. They feed the animals glyphosate contaminated foods, many public parks are sprayed with glyphosate, they are also finding it in the water, and other substances that absorb through the skin (clothes, creams, etc...).

A 2014 study in the Journal of Environmental & Analytical Toxicology detoxed cows from glyphosate using activated charcoal, bentonite clay, sauerkraut juice and humic/fulvic acids,

"they used Schleswig Holstein cows .... fed sequentially with 400 g/animal charcoal daily for 4 weeks (weeks 1-4 of the study), 200 g/ animal charcoal (weeks 5-10 of the study), 200 g charcoal and 500 ml Sauerkraut juice/animal (weeks 11-14 of the study), 120 g/animal humic acids (weeks 15-18 of the study) 200 g charcoal and 100 mL Aquahumin/animal (weeks 19- 20 the of study), or 100 g charcoal and 50 mL Aquahumin (weeks 21-22 of the study) followed by 4 weeks without any supplementation. There was a significant reduction of glyphosate in urine following supplementation with a combination of 200g charcoal plus either 500 mL sauerkraut juice or humic acid."

See https://detoxproject.org/certification/glyphosate for more information and a list of food brands that are glyphosate free certified.

And "a must" to watch Dr Stephanie Seneff's videos about glyphosate poisoning and detoxification. This is an epidemic for sure.

DR SENEFF'S DETOX LIST/PROTOCOL - there are items dogs can take:

Example: give the "Cow" detox drink: Organic Sauerkraut juice mixed activated charcoal and bentonite clay then take humic/fulvic acids later.

FOOD: Only USDA organic, 100% grass fed meat and dairy. Or, buy from local farms. And, look for foods labeled "glyphosate residual free certified" - see detoxproject.org for list of certified foods. Or, try to grow your own food. Make a list of the food groups that don't use glyphosate as an insecticide, anti-mold treatment or desiccant. Eat high polyphenols. Avoid all GMO Foods.

Also, bile acids are not being optimally produced so a supplement may really help.

MUST EAT A HEALTHY HIGH CHOLESTEROL DIET - glyphosate depletes critical cholesterol stores (needed to make white blood cells, brain cells, etc..).

Wear only organic clothes! They heavily spray cotton, ....

GLUTATHIONE or its precursor NAC: (NOTE: only purchase the non-oxidized form of NAC otherwise, take 10X the dose, a good brand is https://augmentednac.com/en/augmented-nac).

Glyphosate depletes the liver's store of Glutathione, the body's #1 detox compound. One of the most important supplements to use. Use bioavailable brands of glutathione or I.V. pushes.

SAUERKRAUT JUICE- probiotics - replaces destroyed gut biome and naturally breaks down glyphosate into carbon dioxide and water.

HUMIC/FULVIC ACID - removes glyphosate, a good brand - Cellcore HM-ET Binder and others.

CHLORELLA - ChlorEnergy is a highly tested brand - removes heavy metals and glyphosate.

BENTONITE CLAY

ACV: Organic Apple Cider Vinegar - known to break down glyphosate in the body, 1-2 T/day.

DEFICIENCIES: Mineral & other nutrient deficiencies caused by glyphosate: Magnesium glycinate - glyphosate depletes glycine and magnesium; zinc, selenium, molybdenum (which prevents your body from making usable sulfur! hence, poor detox), Vitamin C, B Vitamins, copper, iron, manganese, cobalt, lactobacillus plantarum, etc... CAUTION: must be careful supplementing some of these (e.g., iron, copper, etc..) because there are only a few forms that are non-toxic.

Not only does glutathione deplete these minerals and nutrients, they prevent them from functioning in the body and cause many of them to toxically accumulate in the brain stem!

METHYL GROUPS - take something that provides methyl groups such as NAC, Methionine, Vitamin C or other antioxidants and ONLY take methylated B Vitamins.

SUNLIGHT - morning sunlight on the back is best and on as much exposed skin as possible; and, make sure the sun is getting to your eyes, no sunglasses. For the body to synthesize sulfate one must get sunlight through the skin and eyes. And, this makes the best form of Vitamin D3!

SULFUR: eat sulfur containing foods and/or soak in Epsom Salts Bath: eggs, garlic, onion, bone broth, MSM, cruciferous vegetables, collagen, etc... Dandelion and Barberry (Berberine) can really help with getting enough proper sulfur.

FULLY HYDRATE: drink filtered water such as distilled with trace minerals or electrolytes added or reverse osmosis with a bit of hydrogen peroxide added. Can structure your water.

SWEAT: Infra Red Sauna or IR Light therapy and/or exercise has 2 ways to move out the toxins, the lymphatic system and sweat.

AUTOPHAGY: intermittent water fasting but not if you are Diabetic.

"RESTORE GUT HEALTH" - this product is now labeled, ION, Gut Support. This restores and heals the GI tract.

OTHER - to detoxify and reduce the toxic effects of glyphosate exposure: Burdock root, Greater Celandine, Radish, Milk Thistle, Alder Buckthorn, etc.....

100% Pure Gum Spirits Turpentine

Hello,

M sisters Doberman has something called "Wabblers Disease" its a best guess... They say it has something to do with musculo/skeletal disorder where they slowly lose all strength and control in their hind legs. I had read that it really helped horses with leg injuries...so wondering if anyone has ever tried it on their dog and did it help...

Sadly...if this cannot be remedied, he will be put down...we will be devastated.

Thank You Pieta

My 13 yr old bichon/yorkie mix has been diagnosed with an inoperable nasal tumor that has spread to one lymph node. We are starting chemo pills and steroids (5mg) but I was wondering if there was something else I could try? I see Seabuckthorn Berry Oil can be helpful but not sure and would love any input.

How much turmeric is in the recipe? It just says 1/4 ground turmeric. I wasn't sure if it was 1/4 tsp or 1/4 cup. Thank you

I rescued a 1 1/2yo cat on 2/14/24 from my back yard. He had an array of issues, which were all addressed by the vet. One of his ailments was an upper respiratory infection, which was treated by 2 rounds of antibiotics.. My questions regards the use of Borax. His left eye had a discharge of semi clear liquid, which significantly cleared with the antibiotics but now on occasion, 4 months later, his eye will have a small bit of clear liquid. Does he need another round of antibiotics? Or can a mild solution of Borax Acid help him?

Forgot to include:

Another way to apply Epsom Salt Soaks is to prepare a pan/bowl of very hot water, dissolve as much epsom salts into it as you can, dip a wash rag into the salt water, lightly wring out, and apply to the infected site until it cools, repeat until 30-60 minutes of soaking has passed.

A Delicate Question About Doggy Reproduction.

Recently I saw my neighbour dog, who is in heat, standing on the street in the butt-to-butt position of post-copulation, with the male dog who fathered her last litter of puppies. I was walking my dogs at the time I saw them. Not 5 minutes later, not even 6 mins but 5!, she came up to my male dog and boom, they copulated, too! My question is this: now that she has the spunk of two males in her, which one will father the litter? Is it possible for it to mix&mingle and both will father some of the puppies (if she gets pregnant). I could not find any answers online but I also didn't really know how to phrase my question either! :)

I would recommend Castor Oil on it. C.O. penetrates deep and is anti-fungal, anti-viral, etc. I would put it on 3x/day and see if you see improvement in a day or two. It's what I would try first.

And if that didn't work I would use Colloidal Silver on it. It's expensive but has never let me down. My old cat would have eye problems once in awhile and I would use C.S. on them, via spray bottle. Now no one, including cats & dogs, enjoys being sprayed in the face, but the C.S. spray made him feel so much better that he would always let me spray his eyes, and then he'd run away; he never flinched when I came at him with the spray bottle either. He just 'knew' it would help him.

Please keep us updated!

Hello Barbara,

Sorry to hear about the ulcer on your cat's lip.

A couple of tried-and-true, old-timer treatments come to mind because they have been effective for so many different animal infections and wounds for a very long time:

1. Hot Epsom Salts Packs - apply for 30 minutes, 2x/day. Heat salt in a frying pan, dump into 3-lined cheesecloth, dip into hot water, wring it out a bit and apply to infection.

This treatment has been successfully used to draw out all sorts of infections and ulcers on animals. My mother used to use this on our outdoor cats who would always come home with ulcers and other wounds, it worked perfectly.

2. NuStock ointment. First shave the site then apply a thick coating of the ointment and cover with a non-stick bandage so that it does not dry out. Or, use one of those elastic wraps if possible. If you can't do this, then simply leave the ointment on the area and reapply often. Ideally, leave on for 3 days, covered, then reapply after removing any discharged debris. Make sure the ointment remains moist while on the skin so, you may need to apply more ointment.

Repeat application until completely healed.

NuStock is a blend of ~ 75% sulfur, pine oil and petrolatum. There are other versions of this ointment on the market. One product uses raw shea butter instead of petrolatum. The pine oil is probably 100% gum turpentine which is the distilled oil from pine resin. So, it is pine resin essential oil.

This has cleared many different infections on the farm.

Good luck. Sherri

Forgot to mention:

LAUNDRY

Must treat the laundry or you will reinfect yourself. Wash on the sanitize cycle, add borax or boric acid, 1 cup. Many also add a miticide that kills scabies in the wash, many products on the market. Dry for a full 1 hour on high. Can also spray your clothes with an enzyme spray or 91% isopropyl if needing to quickly kill mites. Some soak their clothes in a cedar or another miticide solution for 1 hour before washing.

IVERMECTIN CREAM

Some physicians also include as part of the treatment ivermectin cream applied to the infected areas on the skin or on the entire body, daily. Use a cream containing 3% ivermectin and 10% DMSO in versa base. This is obtained at a compounding pharmacy. The cream must remain on your body for a full 12 hours without being washed off. Use for 3 weeks or as long as needed. Best to apply the ivermectin cream after a warm shower and light exfoliation to the skin, thoroughly dry off before applying the cream.

OTHER EFFECTIVE CREAMS

I have known others having 100% success using other natural creams: Andiroba Oil or EmuaidMax. Applied at least 2X/daily and rubbed in VERY well.

Medical Literature:

Ivermectin Dosage: 0.20 - 0.30 mg/kg = 1 dose

Many physicians treat scabies with 2-4 doses of Ivermectin daily, for 1-3 weeks. Then, every other day for a week, and once weekly for the last week. Some people are on weekly doses for months. Others with compromised immune systems or dealing with the more pathogenic/resilient species are on a more rigorous schedule such as 4 doses daily, 3 weeks followed by a maintenance schedule.

Due to many health issues involving significant malabsorption, many physicians prescribe 4X the dose taken daily every 6 hours. This is required to obtain the therapeutic level of Ivermectin or it will not be effective. Some people definitely require subcutaneous injections of ivermectin to achieve therapeutic levels.

My physician prescribed me 12 mg doses of Ivermectin, 4X/day, taken with meals, for 3 weeks. I weighed 138 lbs. I was to repeat this schedule at least one more time after a rest period of 1-2 weeks. Though, during this lull, continue to treat your body and environment.

There are even protocols that involve taking 100 mg doses several times a day for some health conditions! Some people have to take injections of Ivermectin to obtain the therapeutic blood levels - will see this in medical literature especially with regards to treating late stage strongyloides infections.

Ivermectin is better absorbed when taken with a fatty meal.

All treatments involve treating the environment and treating your body 2X/day!

Physician instructions on how to treat the body: use 10% sulfur/3% salicylic medicated soap and make it into a very thick rich lather over the entire body. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes (keeping it moist), rinse and repeat. This is done twice daily for 3 weeks. Minimum, 1 week then, can reduce to daily washes then, every other day then, weekly and finally done.

NOTE: today, some patients have discovered that the Ivermectin given to them by a pharmacy or other site are sugar pills or some other inert substance. Do your due diligence. I have had this experience once with a compounding pharmacy.

These are several reasons why people believe Ivermectin is not effective. It is effective, you are simply not getting the real deal or the therapeutic dose. The other common reasons for persistent scabies is not treating the body nor the environment diligently and the people living with them.

Treatment Protocol, 4-part: if you do not follow the COMPLETE PROTOCOL it becomes "the gift that keeps on giving." Successful treatment protocol involves "strict" adherence to all parts of the protocol - Oral or subcutaneous Medication, Body Treatments, Environmental Treatments, Family Treatment (including animals).

Treating the environment: Start with the most important rooms first (bathroom, bedroom). Spray, treat, everything you could have touched.

Only enter these rooms after you have sprayed or treated yourself so that you do not re-contaminate them. Can wear gloves or spray your hands/arms/etc.. with an enzyme spray or apply 3% Ivermectin cream (best when 10% DMSO is added to the cream). These will kill the surface mites. Then, work out from these rooms to other, treating all rooms and your vehicle (don't forget the seat belt). You can use various enzyme sprays, bleach, natural biocides, essential oil sprays, 91% isopropyl alcohol (carcinogenic) and other solutions which definitely kill the organism.

Wishing all speedy healing!

How much ivermectin would u intake for a 165 lb person and how often I have scabbie and can't seem to get rid and I have the shingles also from my nervous system

Start mixing a 1/2 teaspoon of organic powdered turmeric and a 1/2 teaspoon of organic UNrefined virgin coconut oil into his food every time you feed him. Depending on your dog's size & weight, you might use slightly less or more of each of these. I did this with my Golden Retriever when a cyst on her hip developed from being pea-sized to the size of a 50-cent piece & was getting red and weepy due to a compromised immune system. Within TWO weeks the cyst was completely gone.

Our 11 year old dog has a cyst on his eye lid. It is hard and when he rubs against something it sometimes bleed. We can have it removed for 1200.00 but no guaranty it will not come back. Any recommendations?

I believe this! My cats get Coconut oil for several reasons:

More fuel for energy ... Hairball prevention & treatment ... Stomach ache from eating who knows what from who knows where - at these times it has so far always worked within an hour after they've ingested it - BUT - when they are in such pain that they won't eat or drink ANYthing (despite C.O. being a TOP favorite of theirs) I spread it (softened) on the fur of a front paw/lower-leg, and eventually they force themselves to lick it off ... and an hour later they go to their dinner bowl & ask to be fed, eating it alll up, with no more problems! I also used it topically & orally on a 2x2" infected skin wound. It initially loosened the dried puss covering it so the feral cat was able to remove it, then kept it clear of infection. It needed some help to heal back up, tho, & I found that 1 drop of GrapeFruit Seed Extract (1 part GFSE + 2 parts Glycerine, by Nutribiotics) 2x daily with meals is what it needed, and he healed up beautifully, all fur growing in perfectly!

It's everything it's cracked up to be by those who use & truly appreciate it! Don't listen to the nay-sayers! . The article on this site about it + many reviews *>
