    How To Stop Licking Of Stitches

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Somebody makes a "cradle" type thing that goes on their neck similar to that sometimes used on horses. I believe I found out about it form CG magazine-don't remember which issue. Maybe some other GT'ers can advise.

    I know almost everybody talks about using the muzzle but I had one grey who would do more tissue damage trying to get at the place with it on then he would do if it was off so sometimes that dosn't work. Sorry I don't remember the contact info on the collar.

    First Post - We Just Lost Bubba Nomad

    in Remembrance

    The horrible disease DID NOT take Bubba's soul. For one thing I can assure you through painful experience that he left a little piece of it right next to yours. Be quiet, be open minded, listen...and you will recognize it. Never forget “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” “What we have enjoyed we can never lose…All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”-Helen Keller My heart just aches for you. I know. I learned when my soulmate Slim crossed over very suddenly(in hours) at 6 years old from DIC resulting from emergency bloat/GDV surgery, I learned after intense prayer and Bible study that he didn't die, only his body did. I was so completely devastated- had I not found this out I don't know what would have ultimately happened. But I found it to be true. He is with me still and even sends me special "signs" sometimes to reassure me. Whats more he is healthy and happy now as well-in fact I have come to realize he may be even happier than when he was on earth with me. I realize this might be a reach for some to believe but it is my experience, strength, and hope and I just hope it possibly brings you maybe a little comfort. You came to the right place posting here. We understand. We care. My deepest sympathy! :f_red

    How To Stimulate The Appetite?

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    2 things in paarticular helped one of my seniors. One was using accupressure to stimulate certain points that affect appetite. It only takes less than 5 minutes and even doing it once a day seemed to help.

    The other was expensive very high quality rose oil. (I used rose Moroccan oil). I would put a few drops on a "dogdana" around her neck so she breathed in the smell. A lttle goes a long way so that is good.

    I found the info on the accupressure points from a holistic health book. If you email me with an address I'll copy it and send it to you if you can't find the info and want to try it.

    Love the seniors! :wub:

    As a side note Ivy had a particularly persistant tapeworm that resisted treatment so when the university the vet was dealing with got to the bottom of it they told me she had gotten it from eating a snail. At any rate when we followed the protocol they reccommended we finally cleared her of them. Always before it was just a simple dose of worm medicine and they were gone. I never did investigate myself to get to the bottom of it...perhaps there are different kinds of tapes that can come from diffferent things because she of course didn't have fleas either and they said it came from eating a snail.
