[QUOTE="Star*, post: 159565, member: 4964"] You know I love critters and Bubba became a part of my extended family when I got a little dalmation happy meal toy - I put him in the cabinet and promptly named him Bubba - Okay - boogers are SNOT funny - and we need some help. And after all I read you have done - I came to the holistic solution. First - changing his food and doing an elimination diet is GREAT - Nutro lamb and rice is good for dogs with allergies. Next - I want you to start running a vaporizer at night for Bubba with either camphor or eucalyptis oil in it where he sleeps. Also - i want you to give boogers some Chicken soup broth. Maybe every other day if he'll take it alone fine - mine love it - and if he won't pour it over his kibble. Does he sleep with you? Wash your blankets and sheets in TIDE free or Dreft. Do not hang OUTSIDE to dry. DO NOT use dryer sheets unless they are like BOUNCE free. NO PERFUMES. Limit his time outside when it's cold. And - ready for the best laugh of the day? GET him some KY jelly and Q-tip it in his nose holes. It's a waterbased product and doesn't cause drying of sensitive membranes, it will help with keeping nasal passages moist. Wouldn't think it would help a snot nose kid - but it does. Those tissues get so burned after a time - KY helps. It helps me too in the winter - I use it at night and don't get nosebleeds any more. It's like breathing fresh fresh air. Holistically speaking - I think since conventional medicines have failed - try looking for a Holistic vet. There are also holistic foods. Natural remedies can help to safely reduce your dogs symptoms of sinusitis, cut recovery time and also strengthen the immune system to prevent recurring infection without side-effects. Supplements to look for include: [B]Nat. Mur (D6):[/B] reduces sneezing, runny nose, hayfever and other conditions linked to inflamed and watery mucus membranes. [B]Pulsatilla (30C):[/B] used to help with yellow/green discharge and coughing or sneezing that is worse at night, [B]Kali. bich (30C):[/B] for excess mucus and congestion. [B]Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice):[/B] is a anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-allergenic herb. It reduces inflammation by stimulating the anti-inflammatory hormone, cortisol. [B]Thymus vulgaris (Thyme):[/B] Thyme has oils with antiseptic qualities that help treat infections in the sinus and respiratory system. Thyme also helps to relieve chronic coughing, muscle spasms and headaches. And if he gets diarrahea? Keep a can of pumpkin pie on hand and it will help curb the diarrahea. Also freeze some Gatorade ice cubes to replace electrolytes OR get some Pedia-lyte popsicles and give him 2 or 3 to improve his electrolites lost during diarrhea. And always in your dog box KAOPECTATE - nothing stops it faster, but it can also dry them out too quickly so call your vet for recommended doses and get a plastic syringe to SHOOT it down his throat. Personally my kids like the pumpkin but ONLY if I sit with it in a bowl and make a fuss out of it - Mmmmm mommy love it....yum here you try some. Yeah Mommy tried it and well i won't be using it for personal help. lol blech Sorry about bubby boogers - poor kid - Hope something I put in here gets you to a cheaper place and helps. I'm more inclined to believe this is a fungal thing EXCEPT - with medicines it should have cleared up by now. Hugs for you both - [/QUOTE]
