Hi

 

I am not sure if anyone has a herbal rememdy for this....

 

I have just taken in a Siberian Husky who was going to be euthansed.

I will foster him until I can find him a home and he is completely

rehabilitated.

 

He was horribly infested with fleas and very thin. My problem is that

his ears have been bitten by fleas and flies so badly that the hair

has been removed.

 

Is there anything I can use to help him. I need use something that

will also act as a deterrent to flies whilst I am work. Poor baby was

bleeding by the time I got home yesterday

 

Thank you

Cindy

use calendula gel--if you can't make it yourself then use the calendula gel made by Boiron. My dog had severe ear problems and we made calendula tea to wash her ears and gel twice or thrice a day and her ears were well in two weeks.

 

Use lemon water to deter/prevent fleas...slice two lemons very thinly, bring one qt water to a boil, turn off the water, slide the lemons gently into the water..let it sit 24 hours (12 will do) and then strain. Sponge water over doggie and the limonene will repel fleas and itching.

Sorry to hear baout your dog's ears.

 

We bathed our dogs with Dr Bronners all last year (Peppermint) and

they had niether flea or fly issues. You might also try some aloe

gel on his ears to help soothe and heal the raw spots.

 

Many people feel that you have to be careful with Garlic and

essential oils with dogs and cats, and since your guy sounds like

he " compromised " you may want to be careful or not use those on him

until he is stronger. My thought was to mabye add a little bit of

Total Tonic to some aloe gel, and then apply to the ears. The

compenents of TT would deter the bitting and also help to heal with

minimal or no infection.

 

Also see if you can find some Willard Water. I added this to both

pets water bowls last year when they were sick and it helped ALOT!

Hi Cindy!

 

I recently had a flea problem with my pets (although they are cats)

and I cannot recommend Neem highly enough. The Neem tree is native

to India and you should be able to find the oil easily enough at an

herb store or a health food store. It is renowned for it's ability

to repel pests of all kinds. There is a book called " Better Basics

for the Home " by Annie Berthold-Bond that is about natural

alternatives to *everything*. It is an excellent resource for those

who would like to do things the natural and non-toxic way. To repel

flies with herbs she recommends tansy, cloves, basil, and pine oil

(or hang a few pine boughs nearby). She also recommends making a

satchet of cloves, eucalyptus leaves and clover blossoms and hanging

it in the infested area. And to whatever you are using on the dog's

ears, you could also try adding a drop or two of the neem oil to

discourage future (or current) fleas. Borax is also excellent for

pest control if they do become a problem in the future. I was able

to wipe out an entire flea infestation with borax to which I added

neem oil and several other essential oils that fleas hate! If you'd

like further information on that, let me know!!

 

Good Luck,

 

Jamie Lynn
