Yup, our dog is Sweet Pea, named after Popeye's baby, but I've joked that we should have named him Cujo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 Vilik, Antibiotics always mean take a lot of SBO's! 3-4 times a day! She won't recover as easily is she's constipated. I thought one should never use heat in the presence of swelling? I thought only cold. Maybe Price could explain to us when to use heat or cold. Also, you can improve circulation by massage, and she will love the attention. MAssage as close to the area as you can without her discomfort, but be sure to do the whole leg a lot, all the way to the foot. It will help get blood into smaller capillaries. And, if she is like me, having one area masaged makes all other areas scream for massage. So, why not go whole dog? Massage moves enough lymph to jump start the lymphatic system into action. Two to three times a week. (I have done acupressure on my dogs & it works, too.) Further, why not mild peroxide poultices -- disinfection + local oxygenation? Have access to an ozone generator? If so, bag her leg. Give her Vitamin O or another oxygenator. Ecchinacea, goldenseal, myrrh are good natural antibiotics. What about essential oils? I'd try some Lavender as an ointment and as aromatherapy. There may be better disinfectants, but lavender is gentler. And magnets! Absolutely magnets for a troublesome bone infection. Make sure the pole of the magnet that attracts the North needle on a compass is the side against the leg. One of the mechanisms that make magnets work is that the water molecule alters its structure in the presence of a field, and the change allows that water in the blood to more efficiently carry chemicals in & out of cells. Another is that blood in a vein can be considered a current & a current in the presence of a magnetic field produces electricity. Healing is an electrical process too. I thought I would have to put my dog down many months ago, he was so old & weak. But, just sewing 3 magnets into his collar revived him miraculously and we got to love him for another 5 months! Magnets are powerful mojo! If you don't have a Radio Shcak nearby, send me your address offline and I will mail you a few flat ones with a hole in the center that are easy to sew on something. They cost a nickel at most Radio Shack stores. Tandy must have trainloads of them because they almost give them away to sell them. They don't even keep them on the inventory, but they do stock them as novelties. If you have one, a Beck EM pulser will help. And, visualization. In other words, everything I'd try on myself. ;-) What is your dogs name? I'll pray for her & do some radionics. Which elbow? I hope she gets over this. I had to put down my 11 year old Rottweiler last month. I still cry when I think about it. His father was a famous champion named Tuff Stuff. I named him Tuff Enuff, and called him Buster. I know what a lot of people who don't know rotties think of them, but he was possibly the gentlest creature I have ever met -- with nice people and all babies! Truly a " good dog, Carl. " He's the only child I ever raised that only had to be verbally scolded once to learn a lesson. We fall in love with our critters, don't we? jim Vilik Rapheles wrote: > > My 9 year old italian greyhound, Flame, (14 pounds) was nipped > in the " elbow " of her front leg by another dog.

He has eaten them all his life and it keeps his coat shiny and his skin tick free. I don't know the brand and am at the office now, but it is a bottle with dog pictures on a red label, I believe. Any health food store should have them, except for maybe GNC which carries their own brands. We also give him a little MSM from time to time. He slurps the water more when we put MSM in there.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 , Don't ask the dog if it wants the garlic, just use my method to administer pills. I take a heaping spoonful of peanut butter, push the pills into it, and when they open their mouths for the PB I mash it lightly against the roof of their mouth. Then, they are so busy getting the PB out of their teeth they forget everything else. Once Buster was constipated and was refusing even peanut butter, so I liftd his lip and mashed it against his teeth under the lip. Got him. ;-) jim wrote: > My dog dug the garlic capsules out of the cheese I tried to mask it in > to kill some critters. What brand is this tablet, and does the dog like > the taste?

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 > , can you back up (site) your heat statement? With 18 years clinical experience on my end. Also, with 18 years experience watching the doctors recommend it the wrong way and their botched results. Research has shown that even arthritis responds better to cold than heat. Not that heat doesn't serve a purpose. Alternating heat and cold is good, just end with cold. AND I am loving my new ozone sauna! Full body heat is usually safe and effective. The relaxing effect of the ozone sauna is wonderful and refreshing. Of course, I'm far too unorganized to be able to tell you where to go to read it. This is stuff I've learned and used while in my chiropractic office since 1983. I've typed up my own ice therapy handout, and I do good not to lose it!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Thanks, can you elaborate on the long term negative effects and the protocol that was used? P.M.
