I have seen a few mentions of people using CS. You don't by any chance have any pictures of your dog's recovery do you? It's a family dog and my family has been propagandized quite well. It's looking like I will have to take matters into my own hands but it'd be easier with their support rather than fighting them.
Do you have any recommended links for getting a means of CS production?
Have you tried administering the CS topically or just in water?
