Digest Number 1678 - dog with problems

[Guest guest]

Afternoon all,

 

The first thing I would grab for any animal, furred with 4 legs or unfurred with

2, is green clay! I make a poultice and put it on the animal. If I can wrap

it, good; if not, doesn't matter if it is licked.

 

The poultice will pull out any infection and start clean healing. Initially the

wound increases in size as all the gunk is taken out, then it starts a steady

healing process.

 

Did this with my white Chinchilla cat. Little White Cat must have had an

argument with something else with claws and had a very large abscess on her

flank. I only noticed it when I was patting her. Grabbed the already mixed

clay which had some EOs in it and slapped it on her. She then took off in a

huff! Next morning grabbed her and washed the area, sort of dried it and the

swelling had decreased by about 50% - slapped some more on. Irritated cat! Did

the same that night and again a very large reduction in size. This time I could

cut away some hair so the clay could get closer to the skin. Next morning same

thing. That night I cut away hair to the skin (almost) and there was a hole in

her flank about 2mm in diameter. this time I slapped the clay on and then

didn't bother until it fell off of its own volition.

 

The oils I would have had in the clay would have been tea tree, lemon-scented

tea tree and Aust Sandalwood. Now, I don't normally use EOs on animals an never

on cats, but needs must when the devil drives. Saved me a fortune in Vet fees.

She made up for it later when she got a tick! I don't want to think of that one

- and I got a discount!

Where do you get this from? Do local (ie: Middle Minnesota/USA) health stores

have it? Or is this something one has to order via internet web sites? In other

words, where can I buy this? Is it very expensive? Thanks again for your help.

prefer the glacial green for poultices, and have seen striking pictures of

how they've mended animal injuries. I used it on myself once, and it healed

the wound so fast that some particles were caught inside the skin... so if I

did this again, I would definitely have a nonstick guaze between the clay

and my skin ... Just a heads up there :-)

I live in the same town as one of the only suppliers for BC Glacial Marine

Clay... actually did a couple of co-ops on it a year or so ago... it runs

around the $20/lb mark, but you sure don't need much... a tbsp of powder

will do a full facial. A pound fits into a sandwich bag, about 1/2 inch

thick... In soap it makes a nice dusty sage green at a 2% addition (20 g per

kg of oils, which translates into .3 oz per pound give or take) Karen Wells

in Maple Ridge still has some from when she bought from me... on her

website... gosh, lost all my links, but if you google for her you should

find her :-)
