Here at my shelter, one of the dogs developed a huge infection on the side of his nose. He snored terribly, had constant leakage of mucous mixed with a little blood and sneezed alot. He mostly stays outside (he's a street dog), but comes in a couple of times a day for an hour or two, and always comes walking with us, but no leash for him; he will not have it, he wants to be free. So I started using homemade garlic l at first and it was working. After a couple of weeks I tried using dmso on the area as well. He did not like that and wouldn't let me anywhere his nose for weeks. I then started using Diamotaceous Earth on it. For 2 days I threw the powder on his nose and he never reacted since he couldn't feel it and didn't know what I was doing. On the 3rd day he came in for food&water and that is when I noticed that the skin over the infection was literally peeling off! For most of one day he had a stream of mucous-y pus coming out of the area, it was a river of it. When I saw him the next morning, there was not one little bit of infection left! It was clean, pink, and left a deep cavity in his poor nose. I could literally see into his nasal cavity. I used some D.E. on it for one week til the wound closed. He is just fine now, and many people told me he'd probably die since it was so close to his brain. D.E. is said to have a tiny electrical charge on them. I believe this to be true as it draws infections out, easily, no matter how big or how deep. D.E. saved that dog's life, all for the cost of about $1.

DE worked wonders on my cat's penny sized open wound. First I packed DE into the wound, but it fell right back off. So I tried mixing it into a paste with honey and a bit of cayenne and that made it stay. That hardened right up until the next day. It must've lasted as its own type of bandage for a day and a half, and when it came off, the wound was less than half it's original size. So I packed some more and honey into it the following evening and today you can't see a wound at all. Only the fur covering it over. I'm grateful for this very helpful and timely remedy.

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (FG DE) for rotting or painful teeth and rotting wounds
The fastest acting use I have experienced for FG DE is for teeth. I have a lot of teeth problems from a narrow jaw and bad dentist interventions. When I get a tooth pain, I place a wad of DE (made into a dough like blob with a drop of water) on the offending tooth, clamp down my teeth and go to sleep. Right as rain in the morning. And this is the report with everyone I've prescribed it to. Unfailingly. But use it the first sign of pain you get.
What more, two teeth that the dentists said have to be pulled off six years ago are serving me fine after my having given them the DE wad treatment for a week continuously.
The DE just pulls out any kind of necrosis.
And that's the second great thing I've seen it work its magic on. It also saved the paw of my cat, which was just rotting and the digits were falling off. Dipped her paw into DE, and the whole thing became a hard lump. But finally, the paw stopped rotting and whatever was left of the paw was saved.
Same thing with another cat I recommended it for. Another cat had an anal sac, with a hole as deep as the first digit of my index finger, and a foul smell. I stuffed it with DE multiple times in a day. After two days reduced application to once a day. By the seventh day, even the scar was barely visible.
