WOW!
Justā¦
WOW!
Yāall are ALL awesome!
Yes, this is all a lot to take it at one time. So I started a document where I could copy and paste and put it together by topic and sort it all out (or at least attempt to). I will definitely only be adding (or subtracting) 1 thing at a time. Right now, with the Miracle pack, good food and no treats, weāre already making positive steps and some improvement. Iām SO thankful I found this site and all of you!
I have stopped the bad treats that I have on hand. They will be going in the garbage.
The food they are getting is grain free. That has been in the last couple of months. I have still been working on which grain free doesnāt have the garbageā¦..Zolicylus, I like that you said start with NV Instinct Turkey Meal then transition to Brothers.
Iām still pondering adding the canned food as a topperā¦..Iāll have to remember to check the carbs in those.
On the Miracle Pack, that has been gradually stepping up to the correct dosage over the last couple of weeks and I can tell a big difference this week.
Sun or Mon, I was reading some of the links Bobbyās Mom posted about the Po/Iodine. I was making a mental note to go buy some and then realized I may already have it. I checked my first aid supplies and I DID have it. I was doinā-a-lil dance. I used it on the hot spots expecting Spocho to run. As soon as I layed that warm wash cloth with Po/Io solution on her, she just relaxed. It was awesome! She hasnāt been eating at it as much and the skin is looking better. One small stepā¦..
I read something about soaking their feet in āDetol Antiseptic lotionā and then washing with Malaseb Shampoo. Exactly what is āDetol Antiseptic lotionā and where would you buy it (if at all)? The pups are now down to just chewing their feet (sometimes legs) and scratching their neck and ears. I have some tea tree hydrosol for the their ears, but was wondering about those poor feet.
As for the yeastā¦..I know all too well about itā¦from personal experience. When I learned, after having my daughter (now 7) that we both had yeast, I researched to the hilt to find out as much as possible and anything natural. One thing that helped us the most was a 1:10 vinegar solution on the yeast (showing on the outside); wipe with the vinegar solution, let air dry, then do an anti-fungal cream (rotating creams). Would it possibly help to soak their feet in the vinegar solution (instead of the Detol), then wash their feetā¦.say in between baths?
The definitely always have clean water to drink whether theyāre outside or in (mostly in now b/c of heat)ā¦spoiled babies! LOL
Bobbyās mom, I did look at the activyl site and it said it was ok to bathe them after 24-48 hours. So Malaseb Shampoo, here we come! Hot Oil Treatment too if I can get help!
Coconut oil: definitely going to have to learn how to distract after applying it topically. Bobbyās mom, Iām glad you said that about checking the price club stores. We have a Samās Club and they have it! For SO much less than what Iāve been picking up at WalMart (hell on earthā¦IMO).
Bobbyās mom, it took me a while, but I was determined to check out all the links you posted. Great information. At least I feel like I have more of a plan now instead of taking āa stab in the darkā over and over. I downloaded the ABC e-book but I have not had a chance to read it. But I will be in the next few days.
I swear it has taken me 2 hours to put this togetherā¦pups want out, pups want in, daughter needs something, husband needs something, laundry, oh wait! cats are hungry tooā¦.LOL
And speaking of cats, now Iām realizing how I need to change their food and add probiotics, etc. Bless their hearts! Itās mother and daughter and they are old: 12 and 13. I donāt want them to be miserable for their last years. They still bring me prizes to the doorā¦mostly birds.
This is all I can think of for now. I will be continuing to follow this post and will also update with results.
I just canāt say how wonderful it is to find ONE place like this for help! THANKS!!!!
