Activated Charcoal
★★★★★
However, when my cat presented with a missing toenail (had ripped out & gotten infected), the only thing that took care of his infection was a dose of Activated Charcoal, mixed with water & with his food. (I read that people who've had part of their intestines removed & have to wear a bag, use A.C. to take care of the odor & take it with every meal, but don't appear to have any trouble with the A.C. causing any nutritional insufficiencies.)* Anyway, it only required one dose of A.C. for the cat, & the next day the infection in his toe & foot was gone, & t began healing nicely!
What I started out to say is that by adsorbing harmful things from our gut, perhaps it is also able to adsorb things from our blood as it comes to the intestines to pick up nutrients through its membrane ... and, by liberating the body of having to deal with all those negative things, the body become strong enough to deal with problems that are farther afield than the digestive tract, when they were too weak or otherwise busy to do so, before.
ALSO, it is also known that sweating is one of the methods the body has to get rid of toxins from our bodies, so maybe that is a reason (at least in part) for some cases of Hyperhidrosis ... but after or while taking A.C., it takes over getting rid of a lot of the toxins ... thus allowing the lessening of sweating to occur.
That's just my two cents ... but I know A.C. has helped me with a few infections when nothing else I tried had done anything for it, so in my opinion, it works surprisingly well!

Apple Cider Vinegar
★★★★★
I then diluted organic Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 tablespoons in 10 tablespoon full of water. Soaked a organic cotton ball and then squeezed the water in the eye and kept the soaked cotton over the eye for few mins. I did this evey 1/2 hr and then before bed I put organic cold-pressed castor oil in the eye. This was to prevent the eye from sticking and to provide long term eye lubrication throughout the night.
The next day her eye was almost normal. SO I continued the regimen but every 2 hrs or so. And then castor oil at night. The 3rd day it was back to normal and she was once again a normal, happy, jumpy dog! Proud to say, 'no we didn't use any antibiotics!!'
Arnica

Someone used Traumeel on a pet injury so went out and bought some. Had to clip some of the fur on the part of the leg I thought might be injured to be able to get the cream down to the skin. Put some of the T-Relief (used to be called Traumeel) cream on the leg and then covered it with a small baby's sock with the tip of the toe cut off to be able to slip it over his paw. I put another sock over the first one in the opposite direction for compression and to help keep it on his leg...worked great, never came off.
A couple of hours after applying the cream he was able to put some pressure on the leg and was walking again. About 4 hours after I had given him the first dose, I gave him another and by the end of the day I could tell he was feeling so much better. The next morning he woke up happy and was running and bumped the leg he had injured and was limping again. Since I knew the T-Relief cream worked, I put some on again, with the socks, and in a couple of hours he was ok. I could't believe how fast the T-Relief cream worked. I'm going to buy another tube and always keep one on hand for my dogs, cats and myself.

Our dog came in from our backyard with a limp and could barely walk. She must have sprained or injured her back leg because she didn't want to put weight on it.
We brought her inside and laid her on her bed. She looked miserable. She didn't want to eat or drink water and just laid there, not moving.
I love this website so I came here to see what I could do to help her. I read the review about arnica and T-Relief cream. I didn't want to shave her leg to try and apply cream. So I Googled the company who makes the cream, Medi Natura, and saw they had a pill version for dogs.
I googled to try to find out what pet store carried T-Relief pills but couldn't find any. I then saw the human version and cross-checked the ingredients and they looked the same. So I headed to our local natural grocery store, Sprouts, here in Colorado. I got the T-Relief Extra Strength Pain Relief Arnica +12 human pills and gave her one as soon as I got home. Like I said, she really didn't want to eat anything but I was able to get her to take the pill wrapped with some raw hamburger meat.
She laid in her bed for the rest of the night and barely moved. Later in the night she looked a little less uncomfortable but still didn't move. I gave her another T-Relief pill in some more raw hamburger meat before we went to bed.
The next morning, she still was not wanting to move. Usually when I get up, she gets up out of her bed, but this morning she just laid there. I gave her another pill wrapped in raw hamburger first thing in the morning and then went about my morning routine. I checked on her a few times. She still didn't want to get up and I just gave her lots of pets before going back to what I was doing.
Then I heard a noise and she was coming down the stairs, still limping a bit. But she wanted to go outside! So I let her outside and I didn't think we would go very far but she wanted to go on a walk. I continued to give her the pills and by the end of the day she seemed almost like her old self! For reference, I was giving her one pill, 4 times a day - one in the morning, afternoon, dinner and at bedtime. It took approximately a day and a half before she was really walking around. I would highly recommend trying the T-Relief pills if your dog has a limp.
The company also offers a pill for pets with arthritis ( MediNatura T-Relief Pet Arthritis Relief Arnica +12) and since this T-Relief pill worked so well, I just placed an order for the arthritis pills and plan on using those daily for her from now on and keeping these T-Relief pain pills as back up if she injures herself again. Our dog is almost 14 years old =)

Hi Debi, Just curious where you got the comfrey oil? Did you infuse it yourself? Thanking you in advance and I look forward to your response. Wonder how the comfrey oil would work on human tendons? Thank you, Susie

I got the comfrey oil from a health food store. And yes, I do use it on myself when I need it. It helps bruises and muscle strains. Just massage it into the affected area. I always have either the oil or the salve in my house.

MIRACLE********doggie is walking just fine now. I keep her as still as possible and do not let her jump off of anything at all. I notice she does still have a little twinge. I also bought some MSM and am adding a little bit to her food off and on.
THANK YOU EARTH CLINIC!!!

Sounds like she could use a chiropractor. Some States allow a chiropractor to work on dogs. I have had a fairly young dachshund/poodle mix dog with a back injury 'cause my kids were having a ball jumping the dog up and down park benches. He was in terrible pain and could not walk. The Vet said surgery had a 50/50 chance of helping. Since I had hurt my own back as a CNA, I was going to a chiropractor for myself and mentioned my dog and he told me he could adjust animals. He did and our dachshund/poodle mix never had any more trouble with his back the many years more we had him. He live to be 18 years old with arthritis and was blind but his back was good. Needless to say maybe, the kids weren't allowed to make him jump up and down like that.

My dog was recently diagnosed with cruciate ligament rupture on her hind leg and I was wondering if the Traumeel will help. The vet has her on pain killers, but I don't really want to be giving her pain killers that might be addictive.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

The Traumeel will certainly help. It is non-addictive and is (in my experience) as effective as prescription meds. Does your dog have to have surgery?
(Industry, CA)
10/18/2008
Thanks for your reply, Katharine! At this moment, our vet has her on the pain killers. We really don't want to have surgery because of her age and her size. She's almost 13 and she's a Chihuahua. What brand of Traumeel are you using? And what dosage do you think I should give her? Thanks again!
EC: Traumeel is the registered brand name...

Thanks for letting me know, EC! I'm new to these natural remedies. I'll check my local Whole Foods to look for Traumeel if not, I'll order from iherb.com. Thanks again!

Traumeel is made by a company called -heel. There is no other product called Traumeel though so it should be easy to find. I agree with your hesitation to do surgery. I would give your dog 5-7 drops of Traumeel twice a day. I would also supplement with a good Glucosamine. Liquid Health makes a K-9 Glucosamine and Chondroitin that has 1600 mg per oz which is great! The Traumeel will help with the inflammation and pain and the Glucosamine will help build some good cartilage around the joint.

Thanks again, Katharine!
I've actually been giving her Synflex for the Glucosamine. It's been 4 months and our vet says she's recovered well. He says he wouldn't do surgery on her now...She's even jumping up and down nowadays. =)

Geoffrey or anyone else...have you mixed Dog Gone Pain (DGP) with the Traumeel? I have a Dogue de Bordeaux with a torn cruciate (ACL) in his rear knee and the vet prescribed Deramaxx and pain pill but I do not want to use these. We are crating him when we are not home & at night & keeping him on a leash both inside the house and when we take him outside. I would like to know if it's okay to give both the DGP and Traumeel at the same time. Thanks.

would like to correct dosage for glucosamine/chondroitin- 1500mg/1200mg once a day with food. use pliers to crush pills since they are too large for any pill crusher. also adding msm to this formula.

Hi Geoffrey, You may want to try Synflex for your Chow, too. I find it easier yo give my dogs everything in liquid forms. ;)
Paw Issues
I am retired and cant afford a vet. Im wondering if anyone knows a way to draw this thing out. I thought of warm salt water on a washrag and keep holding it there and hope for the best. Maybe it will draw the thing out so we can see it and pull it out with tweezers.
Does anybody kow something that will work?

To Judy from Denver. Hi, it may be worthwhile to order from a healthfood store the homeopathic remedy MYRISTICA SEBIFERA (brazilian Ucuuba). It works for splinters and foreign bodies and expells them. Try C30 strength. It is said to be useful to keep in the house in case of retained splinters and other objects.
Meanwhile a warm chamomile soak would help. Best regards, Om

Tail Injury Remedies
(Mpls., Mn)

Hey Linda!
I was in a similar situation with one of my dogs and what worked to save her tail was Real Willard Water. The vet saw her and prescribed antibiotics but felt because the tip of her tail was cold and the skin was starting to turn black that we would have to dock it if the antibiotics did not work. I called the number on the Real Willard Water website, got a live human who advised a dose for me [I cannot recall] and then sent the WW next day shipping. When it arrived the next day I put it in a mister and sprayed the tip of the tail, and also added WW to the food and water. As soon as the tail was sprayed with WW it began to heat up and feel warm to the touch! The tail was saved, however where the skin was black the hair did not grow back - so bald healthy skin where the black skin had been.
You might also consider sprinkling turmeric on the wound - the kind you find in the grocery aisle will work.
And - docking an inch or two off the tip of his tail might be the best way to go; if this is a show dog the long feathering on the tail will help disguise the lack of a full tail.
