I had read Bels Blog and the main thing was i simply did not have $1000 to give them. They also offerred the 600 for the day only, with constant supervision while she recovered in a cage. I told them I can supervise and monitor her condition and took her home. After an exhausting internet search and many messages left, I finally located "THE PET PRACTICIONER" Leanne Wilson, a homeopath on other side of sydney who made up the concotion that bel wrote of. She also made another to use when Chilli(the staffy) started getting better (like a detox) Chilli was very very sick. But I followed Bels instructions regards solids and liquids and put drops in the water or food given 4 x day. 3 days later she got up from floor and walked to her own feed and water bowl. She managed stairs down to yard to toilet and back up. Another 2-3 days of detox remedy and she was jumping onto lounge and onto my high bed! She was like a puppy again. Incredible. If I was not poor I may have been persuaded too Ross, especially if she was younger and had not had ticks before!<br />TerriTerri Hitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189904249899028889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210207992183679436.post-66850076674554695892014-09-14T17:17:33.512-07:002014-09-14T17:17:33.512-07:00Ross, so sad that Biggles died from a tick. Sorry...Ross, so sad that Biggles died from a tick. Sorry to hear that you had to leave him there at the vet's. We found that Rocket wanted to be in a cool, dark place (on the hard tiles) and alone and quiet. But we were able to reassure him often that we were here loving him.<br />It's true that even with fast and efficient natural treatment, some animals will still die from tick paralysis. The same as with conventional treatment.<br />Know that you did your best and Biggles loved you back a thousandfold.Belhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269898358066713252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210207992183679436.post-90782501421114927022014-09-14T13:36:53.039-07:002014-09-14T13:36:53.039-07:00I just lot a 5 month old pup to tick poisoning and...I just lot a 5 month old pup to tick poisoning and it cost me $1600 and a broken heart.

I am surprised at your stance on Vit C and homeopathics as both are used - and proven - widely in farming (conventional and the ever-growing organic and biodynamic types) locally.<br /><br />Up here on the Tablelands, whole herds of dairy cattle (and other animals on these farms) are treated with homeopathics, herbal remedies and, if in crisis, Vitamin C.<br /><br />Nutritional therapy is widely used to correct all kinds of illnesses and imbalnces and in our experience it is equally effective in a crisis situation. This is true for both humans and animals.<br /><br />Since you advertise yourselves as being a 'progressive' practice, I recommend you look into some alternatives in animal care and keep an open mind about it. These methods are working for many farms and households and there is a high demand for more information, locally-available products and non-chemical solutions.Belhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269898358066713252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210207992183679436.post-2199007048137989942013-01-25T17:23:24.413-08:002013-01-25T17:23:24.413-08:00Glad Rocket was OK.

It certainly can have side effects but it does dramatically improve the survival rate vs no treatment.<br /><br />Vitamin C and a homeopathic remedy don't have a measurable effect on tick paralysis. You might not be doing any harm giving it but don't expect improved outcomes over doing nothing.<br /><br />I'd hate people to think that vitamin C is an adequate treatment for tick paralysis - it doesn't matter how cheap it is, that doesn't make it effective. Injecting a painful and ineffective drug hourly to a dog in a tick crisis isn't doing them any favors at all - the less you mess with them, the better. <br /><br />Pets can die even if they are treated but if your pet is sick with tick paralysis it is a very serious illness and early treatment is the best thing you can do.<br /><br />Really glad rocket was OK!

If they're with their herd in the paddock or not tame, this is harder to do.<br />Yes, you can use the homeopathics on humans even - all animals. We have used Vit C injection on calves down with ticks. Remove the ticks, keep them cool and comfortable, dry if possible in the rain, give them molasses in water for energy and small amounts of feed. Wipe them over with neem oil to deter pests, and any other anti-bug essential oils etc you want to mix up and get onto them while they're available. Give Vit C shots 4 times a day if you can, checking them each time and giving them a drink, making sure they're up on their breast bone and not on their side, rotating their legs to the other side if you can - all those things we do for a 'down' animal...<br />Yes, hopefully they will find the balance with the minerals freely available. I remember some old horses we got seemed to consume the stuff by the wheelbarrow load, till one day they just calmed down to taking minerals only on occasion... So they do find that balance themselves.Belhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269898358066713252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210207992183679436.post-52059125177740145672012-10-16T18:53:23.174-07:002012-10-16T18:53:23.174-07:00Hi Bel, back again, we have paralysis ticks on our...Hi Bel, back again, we have paralysis ticks on our new property, have had one calf die, and another is recovering. Just wondered if the remedy you suggested would be suitable for cattle too. Any other advice for paralysis ticks in cattle? Pat seems to think that if they're getting enough sulphur they'll be ok, and we have put out plenty of mineral lick for them since they came to our property (and they are improving in condition, so maybe they will get better with the ticks). Anyway, just thought I'd ask if you had any ideas.

They are so pathetic, like a super bad man flu, just lying there and letting us pat them when they would normally move away, at first we thought it was a snake bite, but once you know its 3 day you can just look after them until they recover. Last time we had to get the steer to move under a tree, as he was right out in the open. We just make sure they have lots of water and hay to nibble on. They seem to get up by themselves after a few days, as if nothing had happened. Will use vit C next time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210207992183679436.post-89425677330537857782012-03-26T06:00:21.335-07:002012-03-26T06:00:21.335-07:00So she's ok?
