Canine Body Secretion - The Natural Treatment
You must have seen, a kind of discharge coming out from the ears, nose, anus and eyes of your dog, when the dog is not keeping well or going through some kind of disease. This is really sad, because as it is the dog is suffering, and to top it, these accumulations cause a kind of irritation to them. They come out in parts of the body where the dog cannot reach it, to clean by themselves.
You are the one who have to help him in this case, and below are a few cleaning tips.
Nose: Dank a piece of cloth and wipe off the discharge very slowly and carefully. As there are chances that the discharge might have dried up, so you need to have a lot of patience and time to clean them. It is better, if you don't try to clean the whole thing in one short. One of the most sensual parts of the dog is the nose, so try and clean it in many sessions. Once you have done with the cleaning, slowly pat dry the place and apply some almond oil. You can either use the almond oil as it is or mix it along with some Vitamin E oil. Do this process couple of times in a day.
Ears: Take about half a teaspoon of almond oil and warm it up, you can do this by placing the oil on some hot container and then drop them into the years with the help of a dropper. This will help you clean the oily and waxy ear discharges. You might require help from somebody else, to hold the ears of the dog in the right position, so that you can drop the almond oil, without messing it all around. Now slowly pull up the flap of the ear and pour the oil into the ears, ensuring that the oil is running down straight into the ears. Now close the flap and massage the ears. While you massage, you will hear the noise of the oil squishing inside. This oil will help in liquefying the other fragments and wax. Then take a tissue paper, and wipe off the extra oil on the ears. You can also use cotton to wipe around the ears but be careful not to push it inside.
Eyes: Mix about quarter teaspoon of salt in a cup of distilled or purified water. Take this solution and apply on the eyes, this solution will help you dissolve the discharge around the eyes without any kind of irritation. After you clean the eyes, if you feel the eyes are getting irritated, then apply some almond oil. If the eyes are seditious then you can use some castor oil, if the eyes are ulcerated or dry then use cod liver oil.
Anus: If the dog is having diarrhea, then there are a lot of chances that they will have a lot of irritation and swelling in the area. Anus can get very easily infected during diarrhea, as there is growth of bacteria there. All you have to do to protect your dog from this kind of bacterial infection is to keep the anal are very clean. You can smudge the area softly with a damp cloth. Make sure you don't rub, as it will cause further more irritation to the dog. Then pat dry the area and apply some calendula ointment for about 2-3 times a day with the help of some cotton.
