Susan Leominster, MA 2/3/2010 6:44:39 AM As an canine wellness specialist, instructor, facilitator, I ALWAYS look to Nature for answers. While I stress prevention of illness/disease, I also stress building a STRONG immune system to fight infection and heal wounds. But even all that done, there always comes a time when first aid is needed. This article was wonderful! Very informative with great instructions. I printed the article to keep in my first-aid kit and I am going to my local Natural store to stock up today, then I'm going to brew some teas and make some preparations to have ready. The aid for ear infections was a remedy I haven't come across yet. I am VERY excited about it as I haven't yet found a solution that I was totally pleased with. Thank You for this article, it is worth every reader printing and keeping the instructions handy with the preparations/herbs. And I was impressed that it was stressed that there is a time when veterinary care IS needed. And some of these remedies are to prevent worsening of symptoms or to make the dog comfortable until you can get to the vet/or on the way to your local emergency clinic. I give this article a thumbs up! Thank You Dog Channel.com
