shared mange remedies from paws' yahoo group

*paws

Below is Tin Choi's response to Kenny's story. Hope this also helps others who may have dogs that need treatment for their beloved pets' skin condition. =)

Kenny's mange treatment
Hello,

I saw your post on Kenny, the mangy lab, and I was just so touched by his story. I really hope he finds the loving home he deserves soon.

My own dog was diagnosed with demodectic mange a few months ago, and she was successfully treated with just herbs -- not because I was trying to save money, but because I really believed chemicals like Amitraz & ivermectin might do more harm in the long run.

You probably already know this but madre de cacao is a pretty well-known cure for demodectic mange. What we did was crush madre de cacao leaves to extract the juices, then heated it with VCO. When it started to boil, we let it cool, then strained the leaves out. The VCO/madre de cacao mixture, we "painted" on our dog's affected areas 2-3x a day. If Kenny's patches are really itchy, you can try adding some kalawag/turmeric as it helps soothe itchiness. For a more complete "recipe," you can check DTO and look for "Kalawag Potion" if you're interested in trying this solution (it includes other herbs like aloe vera, etc).

You can also help boost Kenny's immune system with vitamins like Vit B, C, E, and fish oil softgels. This is what I used to treat my own dog.

Hope I don't come off as preachy, it's just that so many people helped me when my own dog had mange, that whenever I see issues like this, I always try to share what I did to treat my own dog, in the hopes that it will help others well.

May I also say that I've been following your posts on other shelter dogs, and I really admire your passion in helping these unfortunate creatures out. I wish I could do more to help, but due to geographic constraints (I'm based in Bacolod), there seems to be not much I can do.

Once again, I hope Kenny (as well as the others) find the forever homes they deserve soon.

hi! i 'd like to share the treatment i used on maruh, my siberian husky who had the same affliction (when my korean neighbor left her with me).

this treatment was used by my friend on her mom's mouth sores and no treatment nor antibiotics seemed to work so they tried this simple herbal treatment.

crush several malunggay leaves and sift the juice using gauze cloth and generously apply to afflicted areas. your pet will surely lick the afflicted areas so be sure to use a safety collar. you will be amazed because the treated areas are almost dry the following day!

malunggay leaves are known to be wonder herbs because it's a "cure all" treatment for almost all afflictions of humans and pets.

update on fight against greyhound racing *late post

This is a very crucial issue and it bangs in the minds of people who really care about animal welfare..

*paws
Dear animal advocates,
Some updates on our lobbying to block Greyhound Racing:
1. There is another Bill
As can be gleaned from Ted's online petition, there is another Greyhound Franchise Bill in the Lower House called H.B. 5648 "AN ACT GRANTING THE SOUTHEAST ASIA GREYHOUND RACING CLUB, INC. A FRANCHISE TO CONSTRUCT, OPERATE AND MAINTAIN A GREY-HOUND RACETRACK IN RIZAL OR PAMPANGA OR
LAGUNA" so we need to lobby with our Congressmen, as well.
PAWS has already written to the Lower House and will send everyone more info in the coming days.
Meantime, please continue to ask friends to sign the online petition:
http://www.thepetit ionsite.com/ 1/save-the- philippines- from-greyhound- racing
2. Seven (7) senators now
Senator Biazon met up with us yesterday and gave his"word as a soldier" that he will vote no to HB 5291. The Office of Senator Villar also assured us that the good senator will be voting NO to Greyhound Racing Franchise bill.
This brings our list to seven (7) senators:
1.Sen Chiz Escudero
2. Sen. Gringo Honasan
3. Sen. Pia Cayetano
4. Sen. Miguel Zubiri
5. Sen. Jamby Madrigal
6. Sen. Rodolfo Biazon
7. Sen. Manny Villar
3. AAF Action
Our friends from Animals Asia Foundation (AAF) wrote a letter to the Philippine Government and launched a call for supporter action at their website at:
Thank you AAF!
4. Tune in to RX 93 (FM Radio) tonight
PAWS will be a guest on "H.O.T. on Thursdays" radio show
RX 93 (FM Radio) tonight, Thursday, July 16, 10pm
We hope to get the chance to talk about Greyhound Racing, as we talk about PAWS' other programs. =)

Loekie and her siblings are looking for good homes *late post



Leokie2

Leokie1


Loekie and her siblings are looking for good homes.
They were rescued together with their mother, Mathilda, at QC Circle Park on May 1, 2009.
The puppies are around 2 1/2 months old. They still need shots and deworming and some medicated treatment for their skin. Puppies and dogs with special conditions will fare better in a home environment where they can receive love, care, and the attention needed for their recovery.
Kindly visit the PAWS Shelter or call tel. no. 475-1688 for donations or inquiries on how you help Loekie and her siblings find good, loving homes.

socks needs our help (late post)

*paws' yahoo group

From PAWS volunteer, May Angela Felix, who named this rescued cat "Socks":
"I rescued Socks at around 3PM on top of the Katipunan bridge towards Blue Ridge.
There was a black and white bundle on the side of the bridge and on the immediate lane across, was an unmistakable victim of roadkill - though you could still make out it had the same colors - black and white.
We thought, "they must be related!" And how loyal was this creature to stay by its companion's side. We decided to go down and check if this beautiful creature was alive - and as Alex approached, it bolted to incoming traffic and I had to wave the cars away.
The cat was definitely injured as it dragged both its hind legs trying to escape us. But I was finally able to catch him and carry him gently into my car."
As merciless motorists whizzed by the Katipunan bridge that fateful afternoon, we do not know if it was fear, shock, love or loyalty that led Socks to stay by the side of his companion who was run over.
But what we do know now is that Socks needs post op care now and needs your help.
He suffered greatly from the pain of a broken leg until we could bring him to a kind veterinary surgeon at UP Vet Med who mended the leg completely free of charge (thank you kind vet who wishes to remain anonymous!)
Yet the battle is only halfway won. Socks needs antibiotics, pain-relievers and help with paying for his confinement at a vet clinic where he can be closely monitored.
If you wish to make a donation for Socks, please let us know by calling us at 475-1688 or by emailing us at philpaws@....
Thank you.

a lot of chasing up to do...(late posts)

'Unchain a Dog' Month Leafleting Mission—Help a Dog in Your Area!

'Unchain a Dog' Month Leafleting Mission—Help a Dog in Your Area!

It shouldn't happen to "man's best friend," but it does. Take a drive down many country roads and city streets, and you'll see them—dogs left to spend their entire lives in "solitary confinement," trapped at the end of a chain or in a small pen.

We can't think of a crueler punishment for these social pack animals, who want—and deserve—companionship, scratches behind the ears, walks around the block, and the opportunity to curl up at your feet at night.

Many communities across America and beyond have learned the hard way that chaining dogs is dangerous to the public, especially to children. Chaining dogs—also called "tethering"—is a safety hazard for both dogs and communities.

January is "Unchain a Dog" month, and we hope that you'll use this opportunity to share tips with people in your community to help improve the lives of dogs. Fill out this form to receive PETA's "Unchain a Dog" leafleting pack, which includes leaflets, stickers, and a small poster.

If you'd like additional materials, please order them directly from PETA's Literature Web site. If you cannot afford to pay for materials, please e-mail us directly, and we can provide outreach materials to you at no cost.

The following are more ways that you can help chained dogs:


Best of luck with your efforts, and thank you for everything that you do for animals!

Happy New Year, Members and Friends!

John FrippAs Sunbeam the donkey was braying the countdown to midnight on New Year’s Eve, he did so with extra cheer. Best Friends is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2009 and it will be a fun year for us and all of you who have worked together to make Best Friends what it is.

Sunbeam, a “founding animal” at the sanctuary, represents so many others over these past 25 years who have been given a second chance at life. Sunbeam was at risk for being put down because the Grand Canyon was overpopulated with stray donkeys. Instead, he was brought to Best Friends, where he’s lived a carefree life ever since. His is one of thousands of happy endings you’ve made possible.

Building on 25 years of successes like Sunbeam’s, Best Friends is more committed than ever to ending pet overpopulation. Together, we have made considerable progress and are now in the final stretch. Our goal in 2009 is to double membership so that we may double our efforts toward a world where every pet has a loving home.

MEDIA RELEASE

Philippine Groups Join International Clamor to Stop Whaling and

Dolphin Slaughter in Japan

The International Whaling Commission (IWC) instituted a moratorium on commercial whaling in 1986. Twenty-two years later, whaling still continues. About 27,000 whales have been killed since the moratorium went into effect. A loophole in the 1986 international moratorium permits so-called "lethal research" on whales. Based on this, the Japanese government intends to kill about 1000 whales a year in the high seas, and another 23,000 dolphins in Japanese waters.

From September through April, Japanese fishermen slaughter dolphins and porpoises in the most brutal way possible. Known as the "Japanese Drive Hunts", this practice has been denounced by scientific experts and all major aquarium and zoo associations as unsustainable and inhumane.

"It is ironic that at this day and age Japan still continues whaling and allows for the slaughter of dolphins in its islands. This practice has no place in today's world. We call on the Japanese people, who probably do not know what is going on, to urge their government to stop the drive hunts", says Trixie Concepcion, Regional Director of Earth Island Institute-Philippines.

"Major aquarium and zoo associations have issued policy statements against the Japanese drive fisheries and will not procure any of their show animals from the drive hunts. These include the World Association of Zoos & Aquariums (WAZA), American Zoo & Aquarium Association (AZA), and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums (AMMPA)", adds Concepcion.

"It is sad to know that the Philippines has been patronizing the drive hunts by allowing the importation of false killer whales and dolphins from the Japan", says Anna Cabrera, Director of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

"The Philippines imported 5 false killer whales in 2001 and 4 bottlenose dolphins in 2004 from Japan. Those animals that did not die immediately in the drive hunts are now slowly dying at the Ocean Adventure Park in Subic. We also call on the Philippine government to stop being a party to this brutality by banning any importation from the drive hunts", adds Cabrera.

The KALIKASAN-People's Network for the Environment (KPNE) also relate how other Japanese-sponsored projects will affect the environment.

"The Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) is a one-sided agreement which is seen to affect the Philippine economy as well as make the Philippines a dumping ground of toxic waste from Japan. We call on the Philippine Senate to scrap this one-sided agreement”, says Clemente Bautista, Coordinator of the KPNE.

As outrage over the continued killings mount, activists from over 54 organizations in 34 cities all over the world will troop to their local Japanese embassy to protest the Japanese Drive Fisheries. In the Philippines, the Dolphin Day Protest is led by Earth Island Institute-Phils. (EII-Phils), Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Kalikasan People's Network for the Environment (KPNE-Phils), and AGHAM-Youth (Advocates of Science & Technology for the People).
