Quite happy with the results!

Not for the dogs, but when I start feeling a cold coming on I take Echinacea. It boosts the immune system and I have read that it is also a natural antibiotic. Love the stuff!
For calming dogs when they are upset-like for fireworks phobia's, thunderstorms, etc I like Melatonin. I also use it for my girl to aid in calming her so she can learn things better-she is hyper and borderline neurotic.

Do you have any idea what caused it?
When we were little, my Mom use to scrape a potato or tomato, lay it on the infection, cover it with a small piece of Sarah Wrap and tape it on for a few hours at a time. It was amazing to see how a vegetable would draw out the pus!  If you’d like to try a homeopathic, internally, here are suggestions for stages of boils or skin eruptions also some poultices and supplements. For the homeopathic's, you would give 4 little globules 4 to 6 times daily until improvement is noticed, then cut back. You may be able to get these at a health food store (not GNC) or Whole Foods. *Belladonna: in the early stages when it’s painful to them, when the skin is hot and red. *Mercurius: if there is pus *Apis: if it’s shinny and angry, red and swelling *Silica: if there is a foreign matter in the abscess or it is a reoccurring infection. Silica can also speed up the eruption of the boil to help it discharge. *Calendula tincture: is also a good compress for healing the opened wound. *Comfrey: is another great infection healing herb used as a poultice or internally *A Garlic poultice and taken with food will also fight infection and heal. *I have read that taking kelp and/or a multi-mineral supplement with zinc is great at helping support the system while going thru this. |

Yes. I know what caused it. It's a puncture wound.

Since it is definitely a puncture, try Ledum for sure, as it is specifically for punctures. We used this on cats when they had a fight and they'd get those little holes in their face! If the boil has some of the other signs too, you can use 2 homeopathic's, just at different times and always away from food & water (about 20/30 minutes) and in a clean mouth. Poor thing must be miserable! Hope this helps your baby!
