Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 > > ditch the cabbage and coconut oil - your dogs are carnivores and can not process/digest these... ==>Hi Maggie, it is not true that dogs cannot process coconut oil. They process all natural fats just fine. In fact coconut oil has helped many dogs with their health. My sister is a nurse and she started giving her Cocker Spaniel coconut oil, and she put it in her eyes and ears. Sadie got lots more energy and romped around almost like a puppy. At her next checkup with the Vet, the vet blinked twice because she couldn't believe it was the same dog. As you know Cocker's have problems with their eyes running and mattering, and the coconut oil cleared up the problem. If my sister gets too busy to put out Sadie's coconut oil before she goes to work, Sadie gets quite put out by stamping her feet. It is so comical. Also I have Tropical Traditions' Coconut Oil Book and there is a section on giving it to horses, cats, birds and dogs, with testimonies by many people about how successfull it is.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 My Totenberg goat had a lot of health problems when I got her. (Protruding belly, skin lesions, sore teats, weepy eyes, slept all the time.) I started putting a teaspoon of coconut oil at the bottom of her hay basket and after a week her health improved. After 2 weeks she started running around like a young thing.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Just Curious... Can humans get a yeast infection from an animal/dog like the one you're talking about below? We had a dog with the symptoms you're describing of below. Thanks, Jodi From: Alison Maffett <sweettuth23@...> Subject: [ ] Dogs and Candida Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 3:58 PM Hello, I wanted to find out if anyone has cured there dogs candida? I just read the article on Bee's site about dogs and candida. I pulled a dog out of the shelter last year and he was aggressive and had a major skin problem. I tested his thyroid which was low and he is on the correct thyroid medicine now. I had him under homeopathic care for 6 months and did not see any improvement. The original vet I saw said that he has a yeast infection. He smells bad he has lost hair on almost half of his body. Part of his skin is black. He gained weight when I originally got him but then lost weight and is unable to gain weight to be at a healthy weight. He sleeps all day, since I pulled him out back in March he has been on a raw diet. I saw another vet who gave me a lime sulpher dip to put on him three times a week for 3 weeks. I have done this twice. If anyone has cured there dogs candida let me know what supplements other then coconut oil you admnistered and how long it took to cure. Thanks a lot, Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled a dog out of the shelter last year and he was aggressive and had a major skin problem. Hi Alison, Fortunately, I haven't had to cure my dogs of Candida. Can you tell me more about what you're feeding your dog? There are a lot of raw diets out there and the bottom line is that dogs are carnivores and should be eating *only* meat, meaty-bones, and organs. No fruits, no veggies, no grains, no dairy. I wouldn't be giving any coconut oil, either, since it isn't species appropriate and the dog won't be able to digest it and make any use of it. I might suggest you join the rawfeeding group to help your dog out. There are people on the list with years and years of raw feeding expertise and it sounds like your boy could benefit from their knowledge. It could also be that he is suffering from vaccinosis since shelter dogs tend to be over vaccinated. Aggression and skin problems are symptoms of vaccinosis. It sounds like his immune system has taken a huge hit. Good luck, ---- and the JRTs Nunn, CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
