| Hello Friend,
A cheery Monday to you!
Spring has arrived where I live..sun..birds..and the inevitable animal ‘interactions’..
Cats getting abscesses..dogs injuring themselves on glass that starts poking through the trail.
So IF this happens, do you know what to do?
Well my NEXT Livestream is this Wednesday May 9th at 1PM, and in it we are going to cover bite wounds and abscess. When to treat, when to see the vet, and most effective holistic options.

Dog Paw Licking Recipe
One of the most frustrating things to see is your dog obsessively licking his paws, especially when that’s all that seems to matter.
Dogs who lick their paws excessively often develop stains on the fur of their feet from their saliva. The area between the pads can be red, inflamed, swollen and painful to touch.
What’s causing it?
There are many possibilities, but the most common cause by far is allergies, with secondary yeast infections.
So what to do?
Here is a topical anti-allergy/anti-yeast recipe that can help
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green tea
- 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar,
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil
The green tea is antibacterial, the ACV is effective for yeast, the salt is antibacterial and will also take down some of the swelling, and the lavender oil offers anti-yeast and some antihistamine qualities to help with the allergy.
Directions: Brew up 1 cup of green tea, then allow to cool for 15mins. Add in the ACV, Salt and Lavender Oil. Soak the affected feet for 5 minutes twice daily. Assess after 7 days if this is beneficial.

P.S. If you have a dog with excessive paw licking, 1st EXAMINE the paw/paws. If unsure see your vet.
If though there is staining, and this is an ongoing thing, then most likely allergy caused, so you can consider trying the above recipe.
P.P.S. To learn HOW to properly examine your dog/cat, and treat things such as abcess and bite wounds, you need to get on my weekly LIVESTREAMS. Next one is this Wednesday ..PLUS if you can't make it they are being recorded..
