The Wonders Of Calendula
I used calendula to help my older chocolate lab Caleb from
creating "hot spots." My black lab Seth, who is pictured above with his
holiday wreath, is also prone to licking his legs excessively when he is stressed.
They naturally lick to heal an area, but when it becomes repetitive, they will keep
licking and it can extend down to the bone. This makes the dog vulnerable to infection
and illness, not to mention that it causes distress to their human owners.
All of the ingredients in my oil and salve are editable, so I apply it without worry.
Caleb would spend some time licking the oil or salve after application, however by
being consistent the spot would heal. It is an on going struggle with a pet when
they start this behavior. If you pay attention to which area they are focusing on
you can prevent the cycle from becoming a open sore. The area can vary so keep an
eye out for the behavior and aggresively treat the area. It is a good idea to contact
your pets veterinarian if you cannot control the situation.
In conclusion, I think calendula is valuable and effective. You can visit my Web
site: www.SweetAnniesRose.com to see many uses of herbs, oils, and salves.
I sell both the oil and the salve on my Web site. If you have any questions
feel free to contact me.
