on a dog with hip dysplasia. When I first started, I didn't know I was
supposed to dilute and I gave him a hot spot on his hip by using the
oils full strength. I felt terrible! But it was a learning
experience. I mixed a few drops each of lavender, melaleuca and
frankincense in about 2 tbls virgin coconut oil and applied 2-3 times
a day. It worked great and took it away in just a few days.
For the whole body fungus problem, I would add a few drops of these
same oils to a soothing oatmeal pet shampoo and really lather it up
and let it sit there for a few minutes before rinsing it off. As a
final rinse I would make a mixture of 3/4 water and 1/4 white vinegar
and thoroughly rinse through the coat. It will make sure all the
shampoo is out and sooth the skin. You might also be dealing with food
allergies. If it were my dog I would make sure there was ni corn or
wheat in the food, and change to a different protein source. I do feed
a raw diet and have for about eight years now. There is a great book
on dog nutrition that might help you even if you have no interest in
feeding a raw diet. It is called Raw and Natural Nutrition for Dogs by
Lew Olson. She has a great section on problem solving different health
issues. Also, an aromatherapy book for animals by Kristen Leigh Bell
is available at aromatools.com. Good luck! Karen
