Well had an old pony colic and was going to be put down so I took a dowsing syringe with applecider vinegar and squirted down his throat,the vinegar is close to the ph of stomach acid, his eyeballs looked like they were going to pop out of his head and in ten min he was pasiing gas and manure. AQlso putting them in the trailer wich always seems like you cant drive 500 ft without a horse dropping a load helped before, BLOODY CUTS, put cayanne pepper on the wound and stops in alot of cases Sarcoid tumors : garlic and castor oil paste 6-8 weeks fall off hair grows back and will not comeback, the tumor will get larger but keeps shrinking around the base.

ok.. here's my 2 cents.. lol the transmission fluid on wound really does work..! ivory dishwashing soap works as flea and tick killer when used as shampoo.. a mixture of bleach and water in a spray bottle works well for thrush and for ringworm..

Problems with "scratches" on feet/heels and legs? 1) Teatree oil/carrot oil combinations can be found at Dollar General in the Black Haircare aisle. Costs about $2 and works great at preventing/treating "scratches" (skin fungus) on draft horse legs/feet beneath the feathers. If fungus is bad, you might have to clip feathers and apply the #2 remedy below and then regularly treat the skin with teatree/carrot until feathers grow back. Rub it into neck-crest-skin to keep skin/mane healthy. 2) Homeopathic remedy called Calendula Ointment. Heavily-slather a good bit of it onto the "scratches" fungus areas (this is very "ouchy", but try to rub a good bit into it) and wrap with clean gauze pads and vetwrap. Leave wrapped for 3 days. Remove, clean and you should have clear, soft-baby-skin beneath. If not, treat again until clear skin is seen. Washington Homeopathics carries it. Calendula ointment is excellent at treating just about any skin problem. Easy to grow Calendula flowers by seed, during the summer. You could experiment with your own blended poultices. Discolored white hair on animals? Use the Orange mechanic's hand cleaner. Apply it to DRY hair, leave on a while, then rinse with clear water. DO NOT use the type that has pumice granules in it. Just the cream type. Repeat if necessary Ringworm? We have used this remedy successfully: ALWAYS wear latex gloves and turn them inside out and throw away--- ringworm is contagious and spreads easily. We clean the infected area with Listerine (stings) but DO NOT scrub..it will spread fungus thru scrubbing. Dab it damp-dry and then apply a thick paste-poultice of diatomaceous earth mixed with the listerine. Leave the poultice on---wrapped for a day then remove, clean with listerine, and repeat poultice wrap as needed until it is dried up and gone. Be sure to burn or securely wrap & discard any items that have touched the ringworm. You can bleach brushes,combs etc. We have seen this rememdy work waaaay faster than Tenactin or other remedies.(NOTE: NOT garden or pool grade Diatomaceous-Earth...ask your feedstore for agricultural grade D.E....they should be able to order it from their supplier.) Worm Prevention? Flea Treatments? Grain Pests? We use agricultural-grade diatomaceous earth as a regular sprinkling on the feed for all of our animals as a natural wormer preventative. Follow feed/use guidelines on the manufacturers bag. D-E also can be mixed in with the feed grains to prevent feed bugs, and we sprinkle it on the feed room floor around cans to prevent bugs from crawling up inside (fireants, etc). It is safe/non-toxic. DE sprinkled in bedding, carpets can prevent/kill fleas & larvae. D-E is a non-toxic bug killer/preventative pretty much can use anywhere. Dust in to fur to prevent/kill fleas. Excellent to add to chicken's dustbaths for lice/mites or use on them instead of Sevin dust. Borax (laundry soda "Mule Team") kills fleas and flea larvae. Add it to bedding being washed. Sprinkle it into rugs, bedding and then vacuum it up later. Do not allow people/pets to come into contact with the sprinkled Borax.... it's a washing detergent. Just vacuum it up. Any fleas, larvae or eggs sucked up will be killed. Blue Dawn dish liquid used as a shampoo kills fleas. Dilute before using...it's strong. If you have "stunned" fleas, pick them off and plop them into a coffee cup half-filled with blue Dawn and water. Also- a HOT bucket of water with a heavy dose of Dawn mixed in will chase off fire ants. It's a natural way of dowsing their mound without poison. Keep dumping it on their mounds and they will move off somewhere else. This way you can treat your pastures, paddocks, traps or lots without poison. Sometimes we mix Borax in too, but only where we know no one will be "eating" near it. Hope this helps!

Colic...Ugh had a horse that cost me thousands in the 23 years I owned him. One of the things that helped cut down on costs for treatment if cought soon enough was coffee, wiskey, and milk. Mix equal part coffee and wiskey, about one to two cups each and one third part of that mixture milk. The wiskey relaxes them, the coffee causes bowl movement and the milk takes the burn out of wiskey going down their throat. Would seem the pepper suggested would burn throat tissue causing them not to want to drink the much needed water after over the colic. Just a thought about the pepper use. Champ21

bleach kills all cells inclucing the thrush so a better remedy is to use just plain old vinegar instead of the bleach. We must remember bleach is a chemical and not at all environmentally or cell friendly.

Brewers Yeast/Garlic Tablets for flea control in dogs. A dog breeder told me about this and I almost dismissed it as being too easy. However, the topical Advantix/Frontline stuff was only working for about 2 weeks and the cost was becoming prohibitive. So in desperation, I bought the smallest bottle of Brewers Yeast/Garlic tablets at the local Orschlens Farm store here in town. I was SURE that my dog would not touch the tablets so my investment would be minimal. OMG, she ate them along with her dry dog food as if they were the best things around. The outside cat eats them too... so I am giving them 3 to 4 tablets every day, which helps their coats, digestion AND hopefully flea/tick control which the breeder says works!! I have only been incorporating it in their diet for 3 weeks now, but will watch the flea results closely. Cindy

I use good ol Bleach in a pie pan and have my horse stand in it to fight off Thrush. Works everytime.
