My hounds are much healthier due to homeopathy, it's a mainstay in this household, and our first line of defense for health issues. Here's a website that has more information. Extraordinary Medicine

Happy Birthday sweetie. Give all my bridge angels a poke, we miss you and all of them too.

You totally rock, my hounds say.

I had actually forgotten how much I love this site.

Another vote for colloidal silver, it's really marvelous and simple to apply on any kind of wound. The manuka honey is really the most useful on things like deep cuts and abscesses when you want to clear up an infection. It's not as simple to use, as you need to apply it thickly and then cover it for best results (it's drippy and sticky as you would expect honey to be), whereas the silver, you just spray and go. Your local health food store should have a brand of silver that will work, 10 PPM is fine, and we prefer the Ionic or electrically isolated silver, as it can be used internally as well. The silver proteins, not so much.

I'm so sorry you've lost Atlas, it's so very hard when they leave. Run free with all our bridge angels, handsome boy.

What wonderful news - here's hoping your boy is home with you soon, and healing up without a hitch!

We will miss the sweet soft Miss Arlie at Camp Greyhound. She left an indelible mark on my heart and will not be forgotten. Take care of yourselves.

My deepest sympathies go out to both of you and to Murray on this terrible loss. I will never forget meeting you all at GiG, and what nice visits we had sipping beverages on patios. Bee Wiseman was priceless. Run free, sweet Bee Wiseman.

I don't know how I missed this, but I'm so very sorry to hear you lost Frank. What an amazing tribute you've written about him, no hound could have been loved more. And in the end, that's all they want. Run free at the bridge, Frank.

They're together at the bridge, running pain free. Sending big hugs.

Rest in Peace, sweetie. Hugs to you Diane. What a horrible day for you.

I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful girlie. I've enjoyed your photos of her and her brother immensely as everyone has. I'm sure Brandee has been greeted by our many bridge angels, and is teaching them all how to bark at the bridge. Run free with no pain, sweetie.

Gigi will be missed. I'm so grateful I got to see her before she left for the bridge. Hope MIngo is coping ok. Hugs to you and Dave and the kids. Run free sweet girlie.

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your Sammi, he sounds so wonderful. Run free sweet boy.

I actually had an amazing response with a belly band for one of my campers - I was surprised at how well it worked to calm him down! I had no idea that Thundershirt supports the HSUS - pretty scary!

Nice to see you guys over here - Licorice and his buddy crack me up!

I don't think there's any proof for or against this idea. I understand the concept, and I can see why someone might believe it's true. For example, we often see intestinal parasites multiply like mad in a dog that's under stress, or has immune problems. If by feeding a species appropriate diet you're strengthening the immune system, this would be the reason why fleas aren't attracted or don't stick around like they do in less healthy animals. Not saying whether I agree or not, just saying this is what the logic is.

As I recall, it was a paste with ivermectin and praziquantel that was mentioned in the study, I'll see if I can dig it up for you. We ended up going another route.

We have a similar situation here - one of Millie's many corns is quite painful, even after being hulled. I sometimes wonder if some corn roots grow up further back into the toe, and rub on a nerve or cartilage or something, and that's what causes the continued limping. The therapaw does seem to lessen her limping, but it never seems to go away altogether. Poor little Rickie.

I researched the rabbit tapeworm last year, and apparently ivermectin is effective - easily had at TSC stores.

If licking is going on, we use something similar to Sheila's contraption, but not as nicely finished as hers lol. An old cotton sock, held on with vet wrap above the joint, and with the toes cut off to ensure good ventilation. That's only if the dog's a licker. Otherwise, a spritz of CS and leave it.. Hope her leg heals up nicely!

Run free Phene, with Loca and all the other bridge angels waiting there for us.

Actually, L Glutamine is the natural way
