    Rainey Needs Your Prayers Again! :(

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Prayers going up!!!! :hope Thanks for letting us know she needed some! I must tell you I think she'll be alright-just got a feeling. That was an awful lot of garlic but it still might be O.K. Our houndies can be surprisingly tough sometimes and speaking from my experience garlic is no where close to onions in toxicity. In fact I've been giving my hounds SpringTime (the Fresh Factor people) garlic (a couple of grams a day) for years during the spring and summer because it works so great for flea/tick prevention and has other beneficial properties. And their brand is so pure it is about 2- 3X stronger than average(1.31% alliin content compared to 0.58% in most garlic.) They sell quite a bit and it has always been safe(or I wouldn't have started using it) and they stand behind it as being absolutely safe even reccommending doubling the dosage in areas of high infestation. Just some positive thoughts. :thumbs-up

    Rescue Remedy

    I have read 2 Bach books and they both said that is one of the wonderful things about the Bach remedies-they are so dilute that it would be pretty much impossible to give anybody too much so you don't have to worry about that. They don't work like "conventional" medications that generally associate efficacy with concentration. They work by helping correct the animals energy. I have found them to be indispensible. THEY WORK. In fact they work so good they have been "copied" quite a bit but I doubt if the copycat versions work as good as Bach's original essences. Just give it to him as needed. You can administer it several times/day if needed but probably 2-3 times will be adequate. You can also put some in his water. Like the other poster said there are several Bach essences and the book(s) can help you select the most beneficial ones for any given situation. I have had wonderful results using Rescue Remedy on fearful hounds as well as in other situations. Hope this helps.

    PS- It won't have any effect on the greyts that don't need it so you can put it in the water if you want. That is another good thing about the Bach essences. If an animal doesn't need it or you select the wrong essence it won't harm them in any way. Remember it doesn't work like conventional chemical things-its healing energy-so if its not needed it has no effect.

    I agree with Houndtime and Foxysmom. Just be open minded- and don't be surprised! Its been almost 3 years since Slim crossed over and honestly I think about him pretty much constantly. Had I not learned that he was still with me I would have probably imploded. Its like I had no desire to go on-like nothing mattered-after he crossed over. But thinking about him all the time is good now because it enables me to move forward with him like we always did when he was here in his earthly body.

    I run also and wanted to suggust BagBalm. The stuff in the green tin can that some people put on their hands. I have always gobbbed it all around my toes and have never got a blister when I do this. It prevents friction apparently and then there is no blister. Just wanted to share.

    Hang in there. It'll get better.

    Kasey Cut Her Leg Yesterday

    I believe it must be some sort of a greyhound thing. After years of houndies I no longer am surprised when they come back in with a laceration from an unknown cause that is never determined. Of course I always check thoroughly and I always find nothing. It forever remains a mystery how they managed to hurt themselves. Please give Kasey a kiss and here's to a speedy recovery.

    The eyes...oh what a story they tell. I can't help but feel that wow! what a blessing Stepper IS. I don't think he will EVER leave you. He loves you too much! Look for the signs he sends. My Slim sends me signs. It is soooooo comforting to know he is still with me. One of my other greyts Cash said she was glad Slim had crossed over! I was SHOCKED and flabbergasted and blind sided! I quickly asked why? She said it was because he had more power from the spirit world. I found out she was right. And that he is happier than he ever was when he was with me in his earth suit. So I have to be happy for him as you know how it is you just want the ones you love so much to be happy and safe. Thank you for sharing. Hope I am not being too forward by sharing my experience, strength and hope. What we have enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.-Helen Keller

    I am sure Stepper left a piece of his soul right next to yours before he crossed over. He so embodies the ancient wisdom of the greyhound. I think perhaps they know so much more than we do. We and all living things ARE NOT EARTH BEINGS GOING THROUGH A TEMPORARY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE. WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS GOING THROUGH A TEMPORARY EARTH EXPERIENCE. :heart
