Awww...poor dragon. I just emailed a phenomenal holistic vet - a good friend of mine...asking for some advice...will let you know if I hear back. They are very versed in horses too...they had an amazing lab of holistic meds for all animals and their website was phenomenal for helping you to diagnose.
45 years of holistic research for animals - and they were shut down by the tyrants - they are in Australia - raided and put out of business the minute the lockdowns came and were prosecuted...they are fighting like mad and coming back - and they do have some meds avail through some distributors here in the US...will keep you posted...
Products are reasonable and amazing - used them for years with my rescue babes.
Geez...and I thought I had my hands full clipping cat nails...yikes!
Oh I did not see this! Thanks, Pasheen! That is infuriating how the real practitioners are hounded and driven out of business.
Oddly enough, a cat came into my life and it took me forever to get up the courage to clip his nails! I was like - don't they trim themselves on that scratching post, or my couch? Haha. Fortunately, once he colonized my lap, i discovered he is really docile and it was easy...
Thank you for getting in touch with us, so sorry you lost your fur baby recently, they so do break our hearts, so I'm not surprised your own heart is feeling this too. Grief has such an impact not only emotionally of course but physically too.
Yes all the products are human grade so please see some information at the foot of this email -
For your friends horse suggested the Wound formula 236 in conjunction with the Drawing Out 16 formula, as this helps drain pus from anywhere in the body, also prevents any further infection from spreading.
Okay, that's it...if that email doesn't work - email me and I'll forward her email message
“A 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) horse at maintenance on a cool day needs the amount of sodium provided by about 28 grams (1 ounce or 2 U.S. Tablespoons) of sodium chloride. This equates to just under a kilogram or 2 pounds of salt a month.”
I will check out your articles. Salt restriction and dehydration affecting adrenal function could possibly be linked to the epidemic of Cushing's disease in older horses. If you could follow that up with some research you could potentially help lots of horses!
I'm sorry for posting before reading. I wonder if you've examined the link between PFAS iodine and horse diseases. Studies show PFAS can be broken down with iodide sulfite and UV
I wonder if this might be incorporated into treating our food and drinks before consuming.
I wonder if these 3 things have been used by some of the people doing microscopy of blood, food, supplements. I havent been following those people very long or diligently to know.
Hmmmm... and I wonder if the body might make use of iodide in the same way, to break down PFAS. From the department of wild speculation!!! One of my fave hobbies!!
For myself, I have a water distiller. Who knows what's in the food.
The dragon has well water, hopefully pretty clean.
I thought I'd look in to horsey herbs because there is a pattern with any disease, and abscesses should respond to the same stuff we need for them (and in fact teeth abscesses are the toothy topic I'll get in to if I EVVVVEEEERRRR finish my current post..).
I'm not horsey (but was obsessed as a girl), but if I had one I'd be full herbs like rosehips, garlic, soaking hoof in epsom salts/mag.chloride and bandaging a clean, treated hoof in a baby nappy with loads of castor oil like the last link suggests. Awwww, so cute. :)
May not be any good to you, but it was great fun looking in to it-
Castor oil is magical. I read a book on it once and the guy who used it seems to think it vibrated somehow (as a mechanism), great for splinters too. And in the olden days it was called 'Palma Cristi' or palm of Christ, so someone somewhere knew what it was worth.
We use it daily around here, wouldn't dare be without it.
My latest thought is that abscess prevention probably has more to do with structural integrity of the hoof. Maybe iodine helps the body to take care of the intruding stuff more quickly.

thx for taking in the kitty!
I have some contact info for you if you need any more help with the horse...let me know.
Yes please! How does this work? Do you need an email or phone # to send it to or what?
I will give you an email and some info...hold on a minute....
found the email I sent her and her reply
Her name is Dawn - she is great. I have been using the heart formula for myself...they are human grade also...

Hi Phar
I’m big on salt and hydration.
“A 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) horse at maintenance on a cool day needs the amount of sodium provided by about 28 grams (1 ounce or 2 U.S. Tablespoons) of sodium chloride. This equates to just under a kilogram or 2 pounds of salt a month.”

You might want to check out my articles. I’ve linked dehydration with adrenal management and chronic dis-ease.
Title: How does salt restriction lead to heart dis-ease and fear based reactionary thinking?
Click on my blue icon to read.
I would think if your Dragon is low on salt, his body may rob salt from his feet to maintain his blood volume.
In humans, joints get robbed, hence you notice it’s very common for people to have knee and hip replacements these days.
Salt restriction has caused the massive increase in chronic dis-ease.
hi Jane thanks for your comment!

Yes, it’s bound to be related.
I’m going to write a fourth article shortly on the hormonal changes low salt begets. Especially applying to females. Females require more salt.

Totally new to me! Will look, lots to think about! Thanks, brilliant Heidi 🐎💞
Thank you for your brilliant articles highlighting the importance of iodine. 🙏🥰❤
Well, you are very welcome, they are just cross posted or stolen from Jennifer DePew mostly :-)
You're very sweet. I still value them and your contributions, stories. 💕

Hey Aria,
thanks for those excellent links! Rosehips, good one, the dragon gets that added to his feed.
Foot soak, epsom salts, check.
Bandaging in a nappy - not necessary this time. But the castor oil is a good idea I have not seen before.
I think some lucky horse needs you in his life :-)
Tooth abscesses - please lord, spare me. Aria, give us the magic prevention formula!!
Castor oil is magical. I read a book on it once and the guy who used it seems to think it vibrated somehow (as a mechanism), great for splinters too. And in the olden days it was called 'Palma Cristi' or palm of Christ, so someone somewhere knew what it was worth.

Best luck to the dragon... :)
