WEEK 10

 Progress continues to be excellent and to the naked eye there is really no visible sign of the tumour

Compare with where we started 10 weeks ago

Summer has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere and with it comes the pesky flea and tick problem.

We cannot use anything chemical or toxic  on Kodi and unfortunately he is very sensitive to flea bites.

I found these remedies on Facebook which use natural products and will try out both to see if we have any success.

Repellent for your pets:

For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).

To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

Flea & Tick Remedy

8 oz apple cider vinegar
4 oz warm water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Mix dry ingredients first then slowly add to wet as the vinegar and baking soda will react slightly. Put into spray bottle and spray pets down. Be careful not to get in pets eyes.

 

Please feel free to post if you have a natural remedy you'd like to share.

Have a lovely weekend
