There are MANY illnesses that your dogs and cats CAN get- hopefully they WON’T be serious.
For the majority of conditions I am of the opinion that much of the care can be provided for at home, and you can be utilizing natural remedies.
Take for instance this…
A red swelling, and pimple like bumps on the base of your dog or cat’s mouth.
Do you see the Vet?
Or do you attempt to treat this at home?
In many cases the diagnosis is this:
Acne
Here is a section from my book Veterinary Secrets Revealed
SIGNS
Pimples, blackheads or crusty sores on the lower lip. The chin may be swollen or inflamed.
CAUSES
Allergies, hormone imbalance, infected skin glands from poor grooming.
SOLUTIONS
CLEAN IT DAILY. Wash the chin with an antibacterial soap and a warm cloth. It will open the blocked pores, clear surface debris and allow the pimples to heal more quickly. Use a warm, but not too hot cloth. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
WARM COMPRESSES. A warm-water compress will open blocked pores and increase blood flow helping the body remove the infection. Soak a cloth in warm water and hold it onto the area until it turns cool. Repeat daily until the acne clears up.
THE PLASTIC CONNECTION. Some pets react to plastic, causing acne to break out. Glass or ceramic dishes, cleaned daily, are the best idea.
HERBAL:
CALENDULA. Will soothe the skin and help stop infection. Soak a cotton ball or gauze pad with the tincture and apply to the sore until it cools. It can be used in conjunction with a warm water compress.
