herbal remedies

Question
I would like to know what herbal or home remedies you have for dogs skin problems...sores that are oozing...

Answer
Dear Denise,

Please forgive this delay in answering your question. My computer crashed and then I went on vacation so I was not even able to place an "away" notice on the board.

If you haven't done so yet, please have a vet, either holistic or traditional, check out these oozing sores.  This could be something contageous, progressive or stemming from an internal disorder.

If you had asked about something like dry skin or allergies, I could help you remedy the situation, but oozing sores are a serious matter and way beyond my expertise.

I only wish that I could have gotten back to you sooner.  I am very concerned about what may be causing this condition.

I have no idea how old your dog is, when he/she was vaccinated (which can cause skin eruptions occassionally), etc, what you feed your dog or what he/she had recently been exposed to...so it is near impossible for me to make any suggestions.  

I wish that I could be of more help but this is out of my realm and I have very little additional information to go by.  Your dog's condition could be anything ranging from vaccinosis, to allergies, to an immune disorder to just about any number of other causes.

If there is anything else I can ever help you with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Good luck with everything.

Warm regards,
