Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Hi Jin It gives them lots of energy for older dogs. Since we use nascent iodine, we put it in a treat so they get full benefit. With Lugols some folks just add a drop to the water bowl. You can sure see a difference in their energy level. --- groupiestuff <groupiestuff@...> wrote: > Anyone have any info on the use of Iodine with Dogs? > > Thanks, > jin > > > > > > > > Thanks, hire john@... www.magnascent.com ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Hi , Do you base it on weight? I rescued a 10 year old dog Shih Tzu that is 14lbs. I don't want to overdo it. I wish he could gargle with some Lugols cause his teeth are getting bad. And I can't load him up with Vit C, celtic salt etc for detoxing.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 I have used Lugols on 6 week old miniature Dachshund puppies with parvo.I put 1 drop of Lugols in 1cc of water for each puppy and I saved 3 out of 4 puppies with this,the vets don't even save that many.For those of you that don't raise dogs,Parvo is a deadly virus......Barbara > > Anyone have any info on the use of Iodine with Dogs? > > Thanks, > jin > Quote
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 I also know of a woman who cured her girl dog of pyometra using iodine/iodide 25-50mg per day for a few weeks. I give 1-2 drops Lugol's in my dogs' food every day. Sam (thyroidless/ovaryless) > > > > Anyone have any info on the use of Iodine with Dogs? > > > > Thanks, > > jin > > > Quote

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 I have Basenjis (18-25lbs) and a Greyhound (55lbs). In general I start all dogs on 1 drop 5% Lugol's in food. If they are hypOthyroid they end up on 2 drops daily for life (unless they appear to need more than 2 drops). If they are in relative good health they stay on 1 drop per day. I know someone local who has a neutered hypO (on Soloxin - doggy synthroid) diabetic (insulin dependent) Basenji with diabetic cataracts. He will be starting on Lugol's ASAP and work up to 2 drops 5% Lugol's per day. I know it will definitely help the hypO and possibly the diabetes, but don't know if it will do anything for the cataracts. I am absolutely delighted at what this is doing for the dogs.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 I have a Chihuahua (3.8 lbs.) and a cat (12lbs?) that drink from the same dish. Could I just put 1-2 drops a day in their water dish? They are both healthy and of course the Chihuahua is VERY active :-) Thanks, JanieIf they are in relative good health they stay on > 1 drop per day. Quote
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks, Val Actually, I've had one thyroidless Basenji (rabies shot OD destroyed her thyroid) who did quite well on desiccated Bovine thyroid. I am just not a fan of Soloxin (don't ask me for my opinion of synthroid - it's real bad <wink>). I've not had one dog I've bred that was spayed/neutered that did well on it at all. And I've been in Basenjis since 1979! I truely wish I would have known about Lugol's and Iodoral years ago as I may have saved some of them from their fates. I have to say that it is simply amazing at how well the dogs have responded on Lugol's. I have a 13 year old who still acts like a puppy!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 Yea, that works. Did you know iodine has been used to purify water? http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3912/is_200501/ai_n9478285 Sam > If they are in relative good health they stay on > > 1 drop per day. > Quote

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 Hi folks, I have an idea that might work to get them used to it slowly. You could add one drop to a glass of water, any size, stir, and then add a portion of mixture (say 1/4) in their water bowl. Then once a week increase to 1/2, then 3/4 of mixture. Sneeking up on them might work (or not (o;). Watching them to make sure the kitty is drinking. ~ > > > > I don't know thta I would do that as cats especially are VERY picky > > about the taste of their water and will dehydrate if they do not liek > it. > > > > -- > > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > > > > Quote
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 I may have an unusual cat—she prefers MY water to hers. (She goes absolutely nuts for almond bearclaws too.) I drink water from a large Brita container to which I add two drops of iodine to prevent the eventual trace of mold between the top resevoir and the primary one. (Tis a pain tto clean.) With a small kitchen, the Brita is kept in the refridgerator, but since I don't like cold water, I keep a large glass out on the counter to warm up. Lately I have taken to covering MY glass—she is not typically known for getting up on counters, but I finally realized she liked the taste of filtered water! I did try a drop in their water but that didn't go over too well, probably too concentrated to start. Personally think she might like the slight taste of the iodine. > > > > I don't know thta I would do that as cats especially are VERY picky > > about the taste of their water and will dehydrate if they do not liek > it. > > http://products.mercola.com/Images/whole-foods-multivitamin/label-facts.jpg > > -- > > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > > > > Quote
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 This is a way to start with 1/4 to 1/2 drop. It was from another group. ~ > > > > > > I don't know thta I would do that as cats especially are VERY picky > > > about the taste of their water and will dehydrate if they do not > liek > > it. > > > > > > -- > > > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > > > > > > > > Quote
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 , This is a great idea. Some people actually use Clorox bleach for this purpose. I remember reading somewhere that you can use a drop or two in water to clean fruits and vegetables.Best, SylviaSylvia Pisarski Onusic, MS, PhDNutrition and Lifestyle Coach Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
