Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 I have read all the posts about dogs and EOs and I think it's so cool to join minds all across the world :-) Seabuckthorn CO2 and Seabuckthorn oil is one ingredient that I use in all my " lotions and potions " , I read about it somewhere and got some samples (from the US of course) and it got me hooked right away. But - I confess, I had no idea that there was differences between the one from the Baltic countries and the US grown... you learn something new everyday. But - I will continue use the stuff I have for now and combined with unrefined sheabutter and calendula CO2 - wow what healing and nutrious wonders I create ;-D Fiona is my furrybaby, a Rhodesian Ridgeback of 2years (of course the most beautiful dog on this earth ;-))and so far she have been very healthy and have no allergies. The only thing is that her boyfriend, the samojed Aslan living next door, can't resist licking, sucking at her ears. Whenever they meet he just schmoozes them until they look (and feel) like whet dishcloths LOL. The result of this TLC is that she gets very funky ears. So far we have been treating the fungus she devlops with some drops that the vet prescribed and it have worked just fine. But - if there is some natural and non dangerous way to treat it, I would love to hear about it. Maybe there is something one can use to prevent the fungus top grow??

One thought would be putting something on her ears that Aslan does not like the taste of - therefore would quit licking her ears. There are a few products like this on the market, bitter apple etc. The other is that the drops they make for ears these days (tresaderm etc.) are pretty darn safe topically. Not ALL drugs are bad. I worry more about the drug store brands of ear-mite/flea protection with pyrethrins. Exposure to pyrethrins has been linked to Parkinson's dz in humans. Incidentally, pyrethrins are derived from crysanthemums, I believe. drugs = not always bad plants = not always good. Judicious use of either is always called for. I LOVE Rhodies - always one of my fav dogs - give her a big wet smooch for me. JenB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Dear Ylva, There is no seabuckthorn produced in the United States as far as I am aware. Also, with few exceptions, all seabuckthorn is extracted using CO2. Some is cold pressed but that is usually berry oil not seed and has much precipitation in it. Dogs, Petey chews up my mentholatum chapstick when I am gone. Anyone have any idea why? He KNOWS he's done wrong once we come home and he's been in the trash or chewing something up. As today. He does this alpha dog thing to me and I just know he's done *something*. lol The people before me who had him must have hit him or something, cause Petey cowers. We give him a bone when we leave, but he likes to find other things.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Janine, I must be more fuddlebrained that usual, cause I thought you said on your webpage that you was the only one carrying US produced Seabuckthorn....gahhhh, I feel so slow. Haha, I don't know what it is about dogs and chapsticks (well, for that matter whipped sheabutters and handcreams as well), cause Fiona just loved to chew them up and get to all that wax and fats. Some month ago when I got home (after accidentially left the bathroom door open), she had snatched several jars of creams and butters (well, two of them anyway) and chewed them open and licked them dry. I haven't notised that it did her any harm, she didn't put on any weight that's for sure ;-D Fragrant Blessings, Ylva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
