  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!
