Infections

Infection can occur almost anywhere and vary in intensity. Some of the minor infections that may occur and which can be treated by the owner initially are interdigital cysts, minor cuts, scratches and abrasions, inflamed anal glands, coughs, gingivitis, bronchial conditions, cystitis, pyoderma and other skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. However, if in any doubt always seek veterinary advice if the condition fails to improve. The main signs of an infectious condition having occurred are a high temperature, heat at the site and swelling. If a high temperature occurs or is present for more than 24 hours then veterinary assistance should be sought, but for minor infections give Garlic & Fenugreek tablets at the treatment dose until the symptoms have reduced and then reduce to the lower maintenance dose for as long as necessary. For external use the purifying Garlic Juice can be used to clean the site of an injury.
