I have a small terrier cross called Moxy, who is fine in the winter but in the summer months she comes up in small red spots that she scratches and makes bleed. We think this maybe some form of grass allergy, because if we do just road walking or beach walking they disappear. The moment we go back to woods and fields the sores appear again. We treat them with a natural antiseptic cream but they still cause a lot of irritation and discomfort. I just wondered if there is any natural remedy that would help prevent the sores appearing.
Thank you for you help, Karen and Moxy McMillan
Many years ago a friend of mine had a GSD that came up in red blotches if walked through long grass. She coped by walking him elsewhere. In your shoes I would seek a referral to a homoeopathic vet though!
ReplyDeleteIn March or as soon a s possible Start giving him a half a spoonful of natural Locally produced Honey once a day for a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteBecause the honey contains minute amounts of pollen, the dog's immune system is gently faced with it, and slowly builds up a natural immunity to pollens, especially grass pollens.
Then, by the time the full blown summer pollen hits, you'll find your dog won't react as much, and maybe not evn at all.
Nature provides so many natural supplements that animals know they need. Hence why we've all seen the Bears, wolves and wild dogs, go after wild honey bee hives, because of their great helpful ingredients, to prevent summertime hassles.
