Hi Debbie, First let me assure you--please do not hesitate to share any experiences or questions with the wonderful contributors on this list. There is no such thing as a dumb question if you really want to know. If someone should forget their manners and say unkind things, Our list founder & sponsor, Mike, will privately straighten out the rude one.
Please don't go to the expense of distilled water in your dog's dish or your own gallon jug which you filled with tap water & added 1 oz. CS to purify it. I would simply add a tablespoonful (1/2 oz) or 2 to a water dish of regular tap water (if that's what the dog regularly drinks). Someone remarked a while back that if you put 2 water bowls out for your pets (one containing CS and the other not) the pets would drink only from the CS water. God gave these animals inborn common sense. Also, I've heard of some really concerned pet owners (who consider their pet to be a family member) soak a cloth in CS diluted sol and hold on the jaw or place & hold on the inside, affected side of the jaw for a few minutes as possible.

Richard, I am going to ask what I hope is not a dumb question regarding CS in the dog's water dish. Do you add it to the tap water you put in the dish or just use distilled water in the dog's dish with CS added? What is the best way to give it to the dog? Thanks Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Harris To: [email protected] Cc: Richard Harris Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 8:52 PM Subject: RE: CS>Dog with teeth and gum infections, CS pet testimonies? Steve & Chuck, I didn't see that you recommended putting CS into the dog's water bowl regularly, which will add to the atomizing--please do, your dog will thank you. I'm happy to hear of your good results.

Steve, Yes, CS will work very well in cases of periodontal disease. I work very closely with a Veterinarian using CS on a variety of animal ailments, infections and diseases. A 13 year-old poodle was brought in recently that had severe periodontal disease where some teeth had already rotted and fallen out and many teeth that remained could be remove by hand. Needless to say it was difficult getting within 10 feet of the dog cause of the odor. Since the dog was older and was generally in bad shape, he also had tracheal bronchitis and arthritis, the Vet decided to treat with CS. The Veterinarian removed a number of teeth that were infected (cant remember the exact number) then treated the mouth directly with 25 ppm ionic CS, washing the mouth completely a few times, and then spraying the mouth with CS using an atomizer every hour or two. After six hours there was a marked difference in the dogs gums and most of the odor was gone. The owner continued to spray the dogs mouth 5 or 6 times a day with the atomizer ever since. It has been about a month and the dog has had a near complete recovery with the gums repairing themselves very nicely. In addition, the dogs coughing has almost completely ceased and the owner reports that the dog in general is much more active and said that basically he has a new dog!! We are still amazed at the difference that CS made in this case considering that no antibiotics were used to assist in the recovery of the dogs gums. We think the atomizer is the key (as we have found in many treatments), a suggestion would be to spray your dogs mouth with 25 ppm ionic CS at least 5 to 6 times each day, especially when you first start out. With the atomizer the dog will get a small volume of CS, but you will maximize the coverage of the gums allowing the silver ions to do their thing. It would be a good idea to get the dog to your vet ASAP so that the extent of the periodontal disease can be assessed and so all teeth infected can be removed. Anyway, that is our experience with what seems to be a very similar case to yours, although your vet will probably put the dog on a course of antibiotics and we dont know if he/she will be receptive to treating with CS, but you can do that at home. Good luck!!

My dog is 14 and beggining to lose teeth and has a gum infection as well. We have not taken good care of his teeth. My wife is leaning towards taking him to the vet to have teeth cleaned and pull bad ones under anesthesia as well as a course of antibiotics. I would like to try my 20ppm silver puppy cs in my dogs water bowl for a week before we see the vet. Maybe the cs will help heal the infection. Anyone have advice or testimonies of canine teeth and gum healings? Thanks Steve
