Hi all, We have an animal sanctuary for challenged animals. One of our very dearest residents is a great dane born with no eyes. Sadie is one of the most loving creatures you could ever want to know. She good naturedly bumps into things using her head and body to experience the life around her. She is fearless in her exploration of the surrounding woods. We live on the side of a mountain, on a bench. For those of you that do not know what a bench is, it is a level of land that is flat, but steep above and below. Apparently in her daily exploration Sadie had a fall. When I found her she was in her dog house shaking and feverish. We had no idea what had happened. However, with some nursing she was back to hobbling around and looked a little scuffed up so we figured she must have fallen. Our vet, the only one we would even trust, was out of town. Sadie continued to improve for 3 days and then took a turn for the worst last night. Her low grade fever spiked rather high, 105.8, she was trembling all over and we thought we would loose her. The antibiotics I was giving her did not touch the infection that was raging. Yes, we also had her on silver. The silver we had on hand was some we had purchased from oz before we knew more about the product. It was the quadruple strength 400 ppm, meant to be used at ΒΌ the normal dosage. We tried silver enemas, silver orally, cefelexin, steroids, you name it. At that point you just try everything. At dawn I found myself asking for a miracle. She was in tremendous pain. Shortly there after, I am sure in response to my request for a miracle, I remembered reading somewhere on this list so long ago about a horse near death that was saved by an injection of silver. What have I got to loose I thought.yes, it is silver citrate, but it is the only silver we have on hand not having made a batch recently. So, I gave Sadie 3 cc's of 400 ppm. It was a painful shot and she raised up and gave a good cry. That was tough. However, within an hour of the shot her fever started dropping.now it is at 103.5 and she is gently snoring. I have not given her antibiotics since last night.prior to that she had been on antibiotics for 2 days. My vet called tonight and he surmised that she probably damaged her liver and or spleen in the fall.hence the release of toxins. He was amazed the cefelexin did not touch the raging infection and more amazed about the silver. He said "I have read about silver but never tried it". He is not opposed to holistic and believes in supplements etc.this is a new chapter of information for him. We were going to bring her in tomorrow, but he advised to let her rest and just carefully monitor the situation. To take her in requires putting her on a stretcher and over a bumpy road for the long drive to town which would cause the bruised areas some more pain. I am very encouraged at her progress. So, desperate people take desperate measures. I had no idea of dosage and realized I was giving her one heck of a dose. Nice thing about silver, it is hard to go wrong. Whomever wrote the horse story thank you.it was that little bit of information that saved a life today. Prolonged fever on a dane can cause the heart to overwork to the point of quitting. Her big, beautiful heart that makes her so special was almost pounding out of her chest. You never know when some tidbit of information will lodge in someone's consciousness and be recalled at that crucial juncture. Sadie made me think of the horse as we always tease she is like a small horse. It was that particular story that penetrated through the panic and fog that kept me from recalling the mounds of technical information that I have stored somewhere, not easily recalled in desperation. Thank you, whoever you are. And we should always thank each other for the antidotes we share.with the world the way it is, we are fortunate to have this medium to share the best part of ourselves, the part that wants to be of service. As always, A rose. _________________________________________________________________ Add MSN 8 Internet Software to your existing Internet access and enjoy patented spam protection and more.
