I do believe that it is recommended that GFE be diluted in water for use with raw meat, throat rinse, etc. If Huggin has throat ulcers/abscesses, it seems this highly concentrated citrus extract would be very painful and even caustic if not diluted. Cheryl, do you remember if you diluted the GFE you gave to Mosa? I'm hoping that the vet hosp. has him on antivirals...a low WBC count can indicate viral infection. It seems they would have him on antivirals since his temps are not responding to the antibiotics. I know Raven already has lots to think about but here is a link that will give her or Debbie an idea of the dilution ratio. Rather than increasing the concentration, you increase the frequency of dosing in acute cases (which Huggin certainly is). http://www.nutriteam.com/stock.htm Trish

I used to put that on the raw meat I gave the cats because it is supposed to get rid of bacteria. I have also used oil of oregano a lot, I always have several bottles. It can also be found in any health food store, in fact I gave it to Dari when he was so sick, 105 fever, and a staph infection that had partially paralyzed his throat, it was bad. http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/sardi6.html Kim

>>>I would give that > antiviral stuff a > try. They're on the way home from the hospital now. I don't know if the stores are closed or what, but is there any place around you that sells GSE (grapefruit seed extract), which is what Cheryl recommends? If so, they could take it back to the hospital to give it to him. Judy

They are missing something. I am sure she told them everything about camping down at Forestville and what they did. Did he drink water out of a stream? I am sure they would have thought about that. Did she start him on any new products? I would give that antiviral stuff a try.
Re: [IceHorses] Re: Huginn 07/04/07
I gave my Mosa a natural anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-protozoal when she was so near death. The vet had given her every antibiotic in their arsenal. I had nothing to lose. I am confident that it, along with several quick responses to her vitals on my vet's part, saved Mosa. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain at that point. Raven please if you haven't already, give Huginn the stuff I suggested. Hugs to you both. Keep the faith they can survive even when it appears hopeless. Mosa did.

They seem to be going with the antibiotics full force, but I keep feeling like maybe it's something else. I feel like it's time to pull out all the stops. That Blue Green Algae issue is an interesting theory, too. But, I don't know nuthin', and they're top vets. I've never owned a horse. *sigh* I know they're doing everything they can. I'm going to light a candle for him. I'm so sad, but hopeful still. I've had animals that I'd almost given up on, but out of sheer stubbornness just kept after with water and meds and they've bounced back. (Admittedly, these were chickens, which seem to have an uncanny knack for surviving amazing calamities unlike any species I've ever dealt with. If they ever grow brains, the human race will have a run for its money.) Well, off to light that candle. Never give up! -Dee the Lurker
