Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Echinacea, plantain, comfrey, hyssop and/or golden seal are good topically, and gotu kola, horsetail, yucca, turmeric, and glucosamine/MSM could all be useful for inflamation and healing of bone. In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Good Afternoon! I am in need of some help with having a sore on a dogs leg heal faster. Th is puppy broke his leg and was in a cast for 6 weeks and it caused a sore o n his leg. What herbs would be good to help this heal...also to help the j oint become a bit more flexible. I assume it's like a human leg and needs to be moved a lot to help the healing and him to walk better faster. Any a dvice would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 I am unsure, but from what I have read, glucosamine sulfate & MSM together form chondroiton in the body!?! Maybe Doc can clarify if I read right or not, if he makes his cameo tonight ;o)! In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Glad you posted this. I also have a dog healing from a broken leg, sores from the cast, and with some joint stiffness. The sores are healed. I have been giving her condroiten (sp?) for the joints but maybe should add some of these other herbs too. Thank you all.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Thanks so much Steve. I have no idea if this little health food shop carries that here but will definitely check into it. I have been giving him a vitamin that has colostrum *got this for my female but she didn't like them*, echinacea (angustifolia and purpurea) and bioflavonoids complex and calcium tablets. Don't know if it has helped or not. I do know 3 weeks ago the vet said that the leg wasn't healing good and would probably need a pin. I started giving him the tablets and the xray this morning showed the bone to be healed perfectly.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 You may also want to give your dog arnica for the pain and aches. Follow childs dose of 2 tabs of 12c/x every 6 hours if possible and you can even get it in cream or jel to put on healed areas. If there is swelling you can use apis mel 12c every 6 hours for up to a week at a time with a few days break inbetween. I thelp decrease interstial and mucusal edema. It can also be disolved in water to form a paste and apllied right to the swelling. goood luck -- In herbal remedies, " bigbird3969 " <bigbird3969@m...> wrote: > I am unsure, but from what I have read, glucosamine sulfate & MSM together form chondroiton in the body!?! > > Maybe Doc can clarify if I read right or not, if he makes his cameo tonight ;o)! > > In Health, > Steve > ----------------------------- > > Glad you posted this.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Cathy, Have you given her calcium tablets? With mine I took him in 3 weeks ago and the vet was almost sure he would have to have a pin in his leg as it wasn't healing very well. I started giving him calcium tablets after he got his ears cropped and the vet said that was probably the best thing I could have done for him as the bone healed beautifully. Now we just have to deal with this sore and the stiffness.
