Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Hello, I was wondering if you could put DMSO on a dog for arthritis or will the oils in their hair cause problems? A friend's 9 yr old mastiff had TPLO ( Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) http://www.slocumenterprises.com/Articles/cranial_cruciate_ligament.htm for a torn cruciate ligament 3 yrs ago but suffered severe arthritis as a result. With the hurricanes and barometric pressure changes they have been experiencing down here in Miami he has been having real bad days... well yesterday she came home to find him in severe pain... She is getting worried that he is going to have to be put to sleep if she doesn't find something to pull him out of his crisis... he can barely walk and is in excruciating pain when he does have to move....He is eating and his spark is still there - just dampened by the pain he is in. You recommended DMSO roll on for a friend that had chronic back pain and is a recovering addict (pain killers) and it worked WONDERS. He cant say enough about the stuff so I was hoping it could help in this situation also. What would be a safe dose of MSM with an equal dose of Vit C? She has him on Glucosamine/Chondroitin now. Thanks in advance, Alaina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I used DMSO full stregnth on my aging Bullmastiff X Grt Pyrenees. She loved it. About 4 cc in a syringe, no needle, I would move it around and slowly push it out while massaging/spreading with my other hand. It felt very warm and she loved that. With time the effect should accumulate to even better inflammation and pain control. I wear a glove when doing it this way. Or dilute it to 50% and use a bit more, can be just painted on but I wanted to know it got down to her skin. The oils should not be too much of an issue. But any kind of flea chemicals or Spot On type stuff would be carried in so a good bath if those have been used, or several. Keep it away from any area of concentrated flea treatments as those stay in the skin for a month. He could also have oral DMSO, I gave 1-2 teaspoons in milk, disguises the flavor. Makes them pee alot so give more water and be around to let them in and out. If the skin dries out apply aloe vera gel before application or Emu Oil after, it will restore any dryness (mostly from DMSO pulling the oils out of the skin). If the odor drives you insane try the low odor DMSO from www.jacoblab.com . Feeding MSM, glutathione, glucosamine, Seaweed (www.solidgoldhealth.com has a blend that is superior to most products), probiotics, Yucca (Solid Gold - if the dog tolerates it, build up, can make them a bit gassey at first, but is great for inflammation and digestion, but go real slow with a Mastiff if they are sensitive about diet changes). Devils Claw is also an excellent herb for inflammation. For arthritis in humans Colloidal Gold is also have some great effects. I have been thinking about mixing it with DMSO and applying topically as well as drinking a couple T a day, it has helped my arthritis and also mental clarity.
