Natural Cures For Dog Vomiting & Diarrhea

If your dog feels really bad, having vomiting and diarrhea, then this is something you want to put a stop to now! Let me give you some home cures to help you through these dreaded health issues.

Vomiting should be addressed right away! And a 24 hour fast is the most important thing you can do to allow your pet's inflamed stomach to heal. Allow access to controlled amounts of water, but no food. After the 24 hour period, offer bland food such as plain cooked white rice; give equivalent amounts of rice as you do dog food. After 48 hours mix their regular food with rice and don't fully go to regular food until after 72 hours.

Peppermint Tea is an old remedy used for upset stomachs in people. Brew up a strong cup of tea, but allow it to cool before offering it to your dog.

The rule of thum for Diarrhea is to firm it up with fiber!! Dietary fiber absorbs water in the intestine, which helps to decrease diarrhea. Ground flax is a great source for dogs (1tsp/cup of dog food).

You can also try to restore the natural bacteria in the intestine, to help the intestinal immune system. The most effective supplement is Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Pepto Bismol is an old standby that can be effective for dogs. Immodium (Loperamide) is the only safe over-the-counter anti-diarrhea drug for cats.

These are just a couple at-home remedies that will work for you. Veterinary Secrets Revealed

Cancer In Dogs The #1 Killer - Preventing Cancer In Dogs

Did you know that cancer is one of the most common causes of death in pets? Over 50% of dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer. And the sad thing is that most medical treatments do not work.

What are the signs of cancer? A firm lump that grows and does not go away. Some pets have an increased appetite but continue to lose weight. Others have respiratory problems and may show overall weakness if they are becoming anemic.

The exact causes of cancer are unclear. Certainly there is a genetic correlation as we are seeing an increased incidence in certain breeds. Golden Retrievers are now the number one breed to be diagnosed with cancer. Boxers are a close second.

We can blame some of it on the environment with exposure to smog, herbicides, and insecticides being contributing factors. Food is of utmost importance - preservatives and other chemical additives may also cause cancer.

What your dog is eating, could be the most important thing that you can do to prevent cancer in your pet!! When the body is supported with the building blocks needed to maintain healthy cells and repair damaged ones, healing from within can begin.

It is best to feed a premium quality holistic diet - avoid artificial colors. Ensure that a natural preservative is used. Some dogs thrive on a raw food diet- if you take the proper precautions, then this is a great option. Cancer cells thrive on carbohydrates and proteins, but can't grow as fast with fats.

Here's an example of a good Cancer Diet: 50% chicken/fish, 50% mixed vegetables, 1/2 tsp of olive oil per 10 lbs, salt and garlic to taste. The next most important thing, is to supplement your pet's diet. The omega 3 essential fatty acids should be added to EVERY pet's diet. FATTY ACIDS ARE ESSENTIAL. Flax is the best source for dogs.

Antioxidants have also been shown to slow the growth and spread of some types of cancer. Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Selenium are the most effective ones. So don't allow your dog to go without them as well.
