Re: borax helped my dog
If I were you I would apply lots of coconut oil to the tender areas and then apply a few drops of the oil of oregano. The coconut oil is very healing and acts like a carrier oil for the oregano. The oregano might sting for a few seconds but after that it will provide great relief. It will take the pain and itchiness away with in a minute or two. Also, because it tastes and smells horrible chances are that your little guy will not lick the area. Not once when I have applied oil of oregano to a pet did they lick it afterwards...even though they were continually licking it before. The oregano truly removes any pain and swelling as it is anti inflamatory.
Yesterday I went to the dentist to have 4
Amalgams removed and my gums were sore and tender afterward. I applied some oil of oregano and the pain disappeared within a miniute...it's wonderful stuff and a powerful
Antibiotic and antiviral.
Hope you give it a go and your little guy is feeling much better real soon.
Oh, also, if you think it might be an allergy then you should check your food for the common allergens for dogs which are: corn, wheat, and soy. If it is an allergy then it's best to get him on a holistic food that eliminates all the common allergens for dogs.
Good luck and please let us know how he's doing.
