Robin this is said about the condition of the pooch.

<< She's doing much better, the area is suppocating (sp?), openly, the pain is much less, and the swelling is way down. >>

Which leads me to believe she << doing is much better>> or has died of old age, being this post was written last year and the dog was << a really old dog, cocker mix. >>

My dog, Dingo, did it again. She indulged herself in a fight, this time, with the cat. Last time, she suddenly became "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," due to a dogfight and I stuffed her with oregano in peanut butter and hot camomile compresses nightly for about 5 minutes. There was never an obvious drainage nor soft spot but the condition took care of itself. Bear in mind this is a wild animal so the resistance may be greater. Since it has happened again (the Hunchback effect) I will also try the zinc recommended; if that doesn't work, the antibiotics for recurring abcesses seems a sane solution. One would think, however, that, if herbs or the natural immune system can effect such a dramatic cure, the antibiotics should cure in one course. If they don't then they're not effective. I would do the entire course, not skipping one dose.

I want to say that the resourcefulness of someone who has limited funds in discovering a cure for his/her dog is to be commended. It is my guess that 95% of our population is in her situation. Our allegedly rich country beats Russia, where there is no cash, no credit and no food, but the material status of the bulk of our population is, I think, overrated as in a dream..... As far as not having pets if you don't have money, dream on....one would also apply this maxim to homo sapiens were it not almost taboo to even THINK it!!!
