Has anyone successfully treated a resistant bacterial staph skin infection on a dog without the use of oral antibiotics?

I'm sorry but that's way too much and others will perhaps do this and you could burn their vocal cords/GI tract etc. I feel your fur baby was lucky to handle that but others will try and follow this and their cats may not be so strong. There are other protocols which work just as well without giving so concentrated. Please be cautious.

Hello, I am trying to decide between DMSO drops or Castor Oil. I went on Amazon, and saw the DMSO drops, do you have a recommendation of what brand to buy? Also for your dog, how mature was their cataract?

Hi Mary,

My 3 year old cat keeps on throwing up. I can't stand to lose him. Can anyone give me some help please.

FYI - Found this post on Amazon regarding Apple Pectin powder and dogs.

I use this for loose stools for my dogs. I have had several incontinent dogs in the past and it helps keep them cleaner. It works well without over doing it. Always have on hand. Was half of the old fashioned Kaopectin.

My recipe: 95% sulfur powder, enough coconut oil to get it to a smooth texture, and about 2% turpentine. I don't know the size of the container you would mix it in, so that's why I only gave percentages. Recently, I actually was out of both c.o. and turpentine, so I used some vicks vaporub (it has some pine essential oil in it) and mixed it with some of the sulfur powder; my lazyman recipe. But it worked in a pinch for a few days.

Hi all,

Please assist with borax dosage for 65kg Lab with arthritis.

I'm sorry to sound unkind but NO ONE should ignore a pet eating something as large and unusual as a corn cob!! PLEASE do not avoid a vet in that kind of situation! Causing your dog to try and vomit it up could cause an esophageal tear or have it get stuck in the esophagus or throat He probably needed an endoscopy or surgery.. my Goodness please people, don't use these methods for something as serious as this . YES you probably ruptured your dog's tumor 😞😞😞 I am not a Vet, but am a registered nurse and sometimes people and pets need professional help.

Katzie, could you please give us the proportions of the ingredients you use?

Read and re-read your moving story. You and Belle and Samson touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your pain and joy.

For my now-4 dog rescues, I swear by Nu-Stock - but I make my own for far cheaper. I buy sulfur powder, coconut oil & turpentine, mix it up and its never failed us yet! 2 of them have very sensitive skin so I have had time to use it often.

Karen, my 8 year old golden retriever gets a fresh case of lyme each year. Our vet insists on the vaccine. We give her ledum each time we find a new tick on her. Can you tell what treatments your vet did to help your golden? This terrible disease has done its damage to her, she has joint pain and walks very slowly during her daily walks. She also has lots of anxieties as well. Thank you.

Dr. Stephen Tobin was my dog's veterinarian. He was a fantastic veterinarian and I can vouch that he most likely saved my dog's life and has kept him healthy with holistic remedies. Sadly he passed away in November 2021. I had just taken my dog to him 2 months before he died. He would tell me that the Lyme vaccine was only 32% effective. I really miss him. My dog is a 13 year old Golden Retriever. I have not been able to find another holistic vet, but fortunately I have much of the knowledge and remedies to keep my dog healthy.

Sorry! I could have sworn your post said MSM instead of MMS!

With regard to MMS having no effect, I would take that to mean that you're dealing with a toxin rather than microbes.

Not sure why you're giving MMS but here's the deal I'd use for anything unknown:

What you'll need:

1 very clean spray bottle

paper towels

distilled water

black walnut hull powder

activated charcoal powder

And here's the magical part - get some disposable male dog belly wraps. (coolest thing since sliced bread!! )

You're going to alternate between the walnut hull powder and the charcoal powder.

Starting with the charcoal powder, cut a small hole in the outer gauze layer of a wrap at one end and add about a teaspoon of charcoal powder and tape it shut with a waterproof bandaid. take it outside, hold it out flat with the gauze side down and shake it a bit to distribute the charcoal the length of the pad. turn it over and spray some water on it to wet and hold the charcoal in place. Not dripping but just dampened the whole length. Wrap it around his belly, right in the middle, and fasten. Leave on overnight of all day, whichever works best.

The next day, cut open one end of of the gauze side of a new band and take OUT the stuffing out.

Fold a paper towel to size, mist well with the water and dust it with black walnut powder, put THAT inside in place of the absorbent stuffing, mist it again through the gauze and wrap THAT around his belly for a day - you want to check it a few times and if it's dry, mist it with water. If the black walnut powder is gone at any point you check it, make up another paper towel the same way, insert and put it back on. If it's just dry, then mist it again through the gauze and put it back on.

Alternate days for a week. So, that would be charcoal on Saturday, black walnut on Sunday, charcoal on Monday and so on, ending with charcoal on Friday.

Assuming it's not some sort of toxin in his food or the surrounding environment - like in an imported dog bed made of toxic material - or he's not rolling around in some sort of toxin everyday, you should see improvement. Possibly even after the first round with the black walnut powder. But keep it going for the whole week.

If the issue comes back, repeat the process with a 2 rounds of charcoal to 1 round of black walnut sequence but do it for 2 weeks instead of one

Personally, I would reserve belly rubs for after a charcoal application and before the black walnut application.

In my opinion, the body is throwing off whatever it is through the skin because the liver is overloaded so, if the skin issues don't start clearing up in the first couple of rounds, try doing 2 days of charcoal to 1 day of black walnut until it does and look for possible toxins he might be getting into.

While you're doing this, keep in mind that when you eliminate toxins, they're gone. BUT, when you're eliminating microbes, once everything is cleared up there could still be a small population that will repopulate and you'll have to start over, but it won't take as long because, by then, you'll recognize what's happening and be able to treat it long before it gets as bad as it is now. Either way, your dog will experience huge relief.

My dog has been suffering with a bacterial skin infection for a long time. I even think it is a fungal infection. I have taken him to the vet for several years and all they give him is prednizone or other useless medicine. I am tired of seeing him scratch. I feel so sorry and don't know what to do.

Also he has warts growing all over his body. I have been treating him (for about 3 1/2 weeks now) with 10 drops of mms to 1 ounce of distilled water using a spray bottle. I see some improvement but not much. He still scratches a lot and has some under belly redness, swelling, etc. He also has it on his face, paws, and has loss of hair from a while ago above his eyes.

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the MMS that I don't see improvement.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi my English staffy has a rash above and below anus and under tail, any feedback with remedies would help, thank you

There is no reason not to combine them as they produce nothing toxic when mixed. The reaction of baking soda and vinegar produces sodium acetate (an electrolyte), water, and carbon dioxide.

I use baking soda and vinegar to clean out my pipes in the sink I don't think you should add the two together- no!
