Apple Cider Vinegar is the natural king of herbal skin remedies. It is a wonderful herbal medication for itching and scratching dogs as well as a superb skin and hair conditioner. Apple cider vinegar either straight or diluted 50/50 with water can be applied directly to the affected area and allowed to dry. It is also helpful for demodectic mange.

Yellow and green colored foods are great toxin relievers if added to the dogs food. Watermelon is one of the best free radical scavengers.

Vitamin E: Wound healing and scar tissue: Vitamin E will speed healing and minimize scar tissue from forming. For pet medication squeeze capsules onto wounds, abrasions, burns and on eyelids for inflamed eye problems. It will not burn and will soothe and ease pain almost immediately.

Herbal vinegars make excellent remedies for eczema and fungus, as vinegar is in itself antifungal. Vinegars with antifungal ingredients as oregano and garlic are often readily available at grocery stores. For pet medication apply herbal vinegar a few times daily with cotton or compresses.

Tea tree oil is most frequently recommended for herbal pet medication of superficial fungal infections. As with all essential oils, the full-strength oil should be diluted in a carrier.

Neem oil diluted in water or a carrier oil is an excellent herbal pet medication to relieve skin disorders like scabies and has insect repellant properties.

A simple lemon rinse is also recommended for pet medication. Using about 10 lemon skins in 1 litre of water, bring to the boil. Simmer until mushy, strain and cool before pouring over pets coat.

Vitamin C: Giving 1mg to 2mg per day for three months to puppies from large breeds can help prevent hip dysplacia. Give 5mg to 10mg daily for pet medication skin disorders.


Natural Treatment for Distemper: For a dog weighting about 4 kilos, often two teaspoons of sodium ascorbate powder, OR three or four one gram slow-release tablets straight down the throat. OR eight cc of vitamin C by injection in the muscle will be all that is needed for pet medication to stop the symptoms immediately. If caught early pet will rarely need to be given a second dose.
This works equally as well for parvo virus.


Cuts
Fresh aloe vera is an excellent pet medication for cuts and scrapes. Aloe vera is a natural antiseptic, and will keep the area moist until the cut can heal. The important thing is to clip the fur away and don't cover it with any bandage, or it can't drain properly. It has to heal from the inside out. If it is extremely deep, you may need a vet to put a drain in it. Another course of action is to use chamomile in the wound to prevent infection.

Flatulence
Caraway oil mixed into the dogs food once per day is helpful. Another method is to give apple slices or apple cider vinegar on the dogs food. Avoid feeding the dog raw bones at the moment.

Hepatitis
Milk thistle and turmeric is the preferred pet medication for this disorder, and most liver ailments in pets.

Affection and Love
These are perhaps the most essential elements in the healing category. Our pets can thrive only in an environment of love and caring. Without love, all creatures wither and die. Love for our pets works both ways. When we show our pets affection in the form of gentle words, caressing hands and simply our acceptance of them, they respond in kind and blossom. This relationship contributes to a measure of well-being for us also. Caring for our pets is a self appointed role and as their keepers, we have a responsibility to make their lives as healthy and happy as possible.
