Large Dogs and their Hips

For new people just learning. Nancy Sanderson


Dear PineHill Group,

Large dogs often have issues with their hips - Any suggestions for preventive care, before a problem appears?
Thanks Melody

**********************************************************

Melody,

Here are some testimonies about other dogs with hip problems and what they did for their animals. Plus I use Sulfurzyme all the time for our dog Happy as she has arthritis and as long as I make sure she has it in her food every day she is okay. But if we don't she goes back to limping and just staying in her dog house. Also I send info on what to for all animals.

"My 62 pound dog has hip dysplaysia and we give her 1/2 tsp. of the powdered sulfurzyme every morning and again every evening and it has really been helpful for her. We just put it on top of her dry food in the morning and then put a tsp. of safflower oil for her coat on top and stir into the dried food. In the evening we give her a large Tablespoon of canned dog food in with the dried food and the sulfurzyme mixes very easily into that." - Debby Cason

Dog Story
I have 4 dogs age 11 years and one is 15 years. I have been giving them each one Sulferzyme capsule daily and I can't believe the energy they all have. My Vet bill are way down and I have happy animals. Carolyn Cummings, CO

Subject: [AromatherapyOils] Dog Arthritis....

#1 Started giving our yellow lab (9 yrs.) sulfurzyme tablets. He has arthritis so bad, some days I could just cry watching him try to get up to greet us. About 2 mos. into the sulfurzyme he met me with his pull toy--something he hasn't wanted to do in ages! Then, a few days later he RAN to greet us when we got home--coincidence? I think not. He just seems to feel and act so much better.

Hi to all,
I wanted to take this time and share with you the importantance in using the essential oils on our animals and what to watch out for. There has been a lot of people asking what to do for ticks and fleas. I hope this helps you all out.

To begin with here is a recipe I have used successfully for ring worm.

3 drops melaleuca [alternifolia]
2 drops spearmint
1 drop peppermint
1/4 oz V-6

Mix essential oils first then add the V-6 and apply to the ring worm. I have used this on my children and it cleared up the ring worm.

The below information was taken out of the New EODR book on how to take care of animals.

For ticks and fleas:

Animal Scents Shampoo:

This shampoo is designed to clean all types of animal fur and hair. It has insect-repelling and killing properties and is designed to rid hair of lice, ticks, and other insects. You may want to add more lemongrass to the shampoo when washing your animals.

Oils repel fleas and other external parasites. Wash blankets with oils added to the wash during the rinse cycle. Also, place 1-2 drops of lemongrass on the collar to help eliminate fleas. Purification also repels ticks.

For more testimonies on ticks read below the info taken out of the EDR.

To Remove Ticks:

Apply 1 drop cinnamon or peppermint on a cotton swab and swab on tick. Then wait for it to release the head before removing from animal's skin. I have used oregano, 1 drop on a tick and it backed out of there so fast that you thought that it was hit with a hot poker and then it died.

How Should I Use the Oils on My Animals:

Most animals are more sensitive to the effects of essential oil. They often seem to have a natural affinity to the healing influence of the oils. Adjust the proportionately, based on body weight. If the protocol for a human being (at about 160 lbs) calls for 3-5 drops, then a horse (at 1600 lbs or more) could use as much as 10 times that amount, while a dog (at 16 lbs) would use as little as one tenth that amount. Generally speaking, if you have never put oils on an animal before, you should start carefully, applying them only to the feet, paws, or hooves (on the frog and cornet bands at first.)

In case of cats and small dogs, essential oils should ALWAYS be diluted before applying, because they are actually MORE sensitive to the biochemical's in the oils than humans. Be careful to avoid high phenol oils, such as oregano and thyme, on cats because they can be extremely sensitive to these stronger oils. They should only be used in high rates of dilution (90%) and the diluted oils should only be applied to the paws.

(Use Special Caution with Cats:)

Cats metabolize things very differently from dogs and other animals. Certain oils are potentially toxic to cats and could result in injury or even death, if applied incorrectly. for example, cats generally have adverse reactions to citrus products, and citrus oils are sometimes used to deter cats from frequenting an area. Also, cats are very sensitive to strong odors. A safe alternative, when in doubt, would be to mist them lightly with floral water. Consulting with a veterinarian is a good policy before applying oils to cats for the first time.

General Guidelines:

For small animals: (cats and small dogs) Apply 3-5 drops DILUTED (80-90%) oil mixture per application.

For larger animals: (large dogs) Apply 3-5 drops NEAT per application.

For large Animals: (cattle and horses) Apply 20-30 droops NEAT per application.

How to Administer EOs Internally:Where to Apply Essential Oils to Animals:

For non-ungulate animals (not having hooves) such as dogs and cats, oils (neat or diluted) can be applied to paws for faster absorption.

For hoofed animals, sprinkle a few drops on the spine or flanks and massage then in, also apply on the gums, tongue or underneath the the lip; also apply on the frog and cornet bands of hooves. These are for oils to be applied to cows, horses, etc., all animals with hooves. Oils can also be applied to auricular points of the ears.

When the Animal is Jittery and Resists:

If you have a high-spirited, jittery animal that won't be still to receive the application, apply Peace & Calming and / or Valor on yourself first. As you approach the animal, it will react as it perceives the aroma. Kneel down or squat beside the animal and remain still for several minutes, so that it can become accustomed to the smell. As the animal breathes in the fragrances, it will become calmer and easier to manage. You won't have to set on them.

Essential Oils First Aid Kit for Animals:

  • Animal Scents Ointment: it is designed to cover and seal infected wounds and seal in essential oils.

  • Exodus II: for infection, inflammation; to promote tissue regeneration.

  • Helichrysum: as a topical anesthetic.

  • Idaho Tansy: is one of the most versatile oils for animals. It is purifying, cleansing, tissue-regenerating, anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic, and is used for bruised bones, cuts, wounds, and coli. It repels flies.

  • Laurel: for bruising and soreness.

  • Lavender: for tissue regeneration, desensitizing wound.

  • Melrose: for disinfecting and cleaning wounds, eye infection.

  • Mountain Savory: for reducing inflammation.

  • Myrrh: for infection, inflammation; to promote tissue regeneration.

  • Ortho Ease: to dilute essential oils with and act as a pain-reliever and anti-inflammatory.

  • PanAway: If the pain originates from a broken bone rather than an open wound, use PanAway to kill pain in points where there is no open, raw tissue. NOTE: Do not apply PanAway to open wounds be-cause it will sting and traumatize the animal. Instead use helichrysum and balsam fir to reduce bleeding and pain.

  • Purification: is more effective than using iodine or hydrogen peroxide for washing and cleansing wounds. It repels ticks and mites.

  • Roman Chamomile: for tissue regeneration, desensitizing wound.

  • Thieves: for inflammation, infection and bacteria; for proudflesh (where new tissue continues to rebuild itself causing excessive granulation) to promote tissue regeneration.

  • Valerian: can be used internally and externally for controlling pain.

  • Vetiver: can be used internally and externally for controlling pain.

    Good Luck with your animals. Nancy Sanderson

    For internal use (ingestion), essential oils can be put into a capsule and mixed with the feed.

    On large animals, the animal's bottom lip can be pulled out and (for example, in case of a horse) 10-15 drops of oils put in. The animal will feel the effect quickly because capillaries. in the lip will carry the oil into the bloodstream immediately. For a large dog 1-3 drops is sufficient.

    When treating animals with essential oils internally, make certain the oils used are PURE and Free of chemicals, solvents, and adulterants. Always seek the advice of a qualified veterinarian before allowing the animals to ingest essential oils.

    Other Helpful Tips:

    When treating large animals for viral or bacterial infections, arthritis, or bone injure, generally use the same oils and protocol recommended for humans.

    For applying to large open wounds or hard-to-reach areas, it helps to put the oils in a spray bottle and spray them directly on location.

    After an oil application to an open wound, cover the wound with Animal Scents Ointment to seal it and protect it from further infections. The ointment will also prevent the essential oils from evaporating into the air.

    There is no right or wrong way to apply essential oils. Every animal is a little different. Use common sense and good judgment as you experiment with different methods. Observe carefully how the animal responds to the treatment.

    Take special care not to get essential oils in the animals eyes.

    Make sure the animal is drinking pure water. Chlorinated water will suppress thyroid and immune function in animals even quicker than in humans, and when that happens, you will suppress the healing process of that animal whether it is a dog, a horse or a cat.

    Quality protein is vitally important to promote healing, which makes the use of organic feed essential. Unfortunately many commercial feed contain bovine byproducts that have high risk for BSE disease and make them unfit or animal care. Avoid these at all costs. Enzymes are also essential to maximize digestion and protein assimilation.

    Discover nature’s way of helping you AND your pet!!

    The Essential 7 kit - Perfect for use with pets and people!! A variety of single and blended essential oils for daily use. Conveniently packaged for those on-the-go. The Essential 7 kit was created so that anyone could immediately use and appreciate the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils. These oils may be used as dietary supplements, diffused, added to bathwater, applied on location, spritzed on your pet, or used with body massage. Refer to the individual oils for specific benefits and instructions.

    The kit contains three single oils: Lavender (Lavandula Augustifolia), Lemon (Citrus limon), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and four blends: Purification, Joy, Peace & Calming, and PanAway.

    Active Ingredients:
    Lavender is the most versatile of all essential oils and has been highly regarded as soothing to the skin. The French scientist René Gattefossé was the first to discover these properties when he severely burned his arm in a laboratory accident. It can be used to cleanse cuts, bruises, scrapes, and skin irritations, including hot spots. Lavender has also been studied for its relaxing effects, both physically and emotionally. Helpful for puppies to sleep all night. Or, if they get too wild, put on all paws.
    ( My husband, Blaine and a friend of his went on a camp trip and your Golden Retiever, Happy went with them. It was a 11 day trip and by the time they came out the second to the last day, Happy could hardly walk because her feet hurt her so bad. Blaine applies Lavender on all her pads that night and the next morning it was like she had never had any problems at all. Frost bite from the snow apply lavender to paws.)

    Lemon helps support the immune system, according to Jean Valnet, M.D. It can serve as an insect or flea repellent and may be beneficial for the skin. Add a few drops to distilled water and spritz on your pet for a refreshing lift after an active day. Brain function is enhanced 32% by smelling Lemon Oil; 62% by diffusing it. (This is great to apply to the collar as flea or mosquitoes do not like lemon nor do they like lemongrass.)

    Peppermint is soothing to the digestive system. Jean Valnet, M.D. studied peppermint’s ability to affect the liver and respiration. Scientists have also researched peppermint’s role in affecting impaired taste and smell and mental accuracy when inhaled. Useful for digestive upset and to enhance your pet’s appetite. Put a few drops in a spritzer with water an spray in mouth to get rid of doggie breath. ( I have spritzed my animals with peppermint water to keep mosquitoes away.)

    Joy is an exotic blend of lemon (Citrus limon), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), bergamot (Citrus bergamia), mandarin (Citrus reticulata), rose (Rosa damascena), and other essential oils that produces an uplifting magnetic energy bringing joy to the heart. When diffused, it can be refreshing and uplifting.

    PanAway was created by Gary Young as a result of an injury in which he severely tore the ligament in his leg. This blend contains wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), which has an active principle similar to cortisone; clove (Syzygium aromaticum), which contains eugenol, a constituent used by dentists to numb gums; peppermint (Mentha piperita), calming for nerves; and helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum), soothing to localized discomfort. ( I have applied it to Happy for her hip problems and it takes the pain right away.) Also for bruising like what happened to this dog!

    Peace & Calming is a gentle, fragrant blend especially designed for diffusing. Its components [orange (Citrus sinensis), tangerine (Citrus nobilis), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), patchouly (Pogostemon cablin), and blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum)] promote relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on the pads of your pet’s feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to your pet during an overactive, stressful day. (I had a dog racer from Alaska stay at our guest ranch during the dog race and had a dog that was really nervousness around crowds. I gave him Peace & Calming to apply to her ears and back of neck. Plus some of the dogs had sore pads from all the running. There I gave him Melrose to put on the open sores on the pads. When the race was over he came to me and thanked me for the help as all his dogs pads didn't bleed and hurt them the next day and the dog that was nervous didn't have any problems.)

    Purification is a blend of purifying essential oils, such as citronella (Cymbopogon nardus), myrtle (Myrtus communis), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), and melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia). When diffused, it can neutralize mildew, disagreeable pet odors and help cleanse the air. When applied directly to the skin, Purification can be excellent for soothing insect, flea or tick bites and for cleansing cuts and scrapes. (I use Purification or Melrose just one drop on finger, rub finger and thumb together so there isn't so much oil and then apply under kitten's eye when they have eye infection.) To Order Call: 1-800-371-2928 Essential 7 (5 ml.) bottles Code: #3120

    Above all don't forget to do the RDT on your animals, they love it.

    Read what others have said:

    "I noticed we have not had a flea problem since we have been diffusing Purification on a regular basis. We used to have to put that stuff we got from the vet on behind the dogs neck every year. We have not done that in 2 years. This was just a by product of our quest for better family health."
    - David Langdon

    "I discovered over the holiday weekend that Peace and Calming also works wonders for dogs that get frightened by fireworks. I have a dog that just freaks out. She normally cannot be consoled or controlled, she literally will claw the skin right off of whoever is trying to hold her. Well, doused with Peace and Calming on the pads of her paws and inside her earflap, and down the middle of her muzzle, she slept like a baby and didn't show the least concern. This is truly a blessing for an animal, and much better than trying to tranquilize them. I applaud the groomers, vets, and kennels that are thoughtful enough to P&C. Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of the pet industry caught on to Peace and Calming? Peace and Blessings,"
