Great information for your petππΎ
Hi There! My name is Otis and I recently went on a road trip with my family to Colorado. I visited with my sister, Sunshine and we had a blast exploring the mountains. Taking the trip made my Dad think of all the things that are important to have with you when taking a journey like this with your pets. Here are some of the items that may be helpful to have on hand:
Homeopathic remedies:
o Aconite 30 C β great for shock or trauma
o Arnica 30 C β for sprains, strains, bruising or injury
o Hypericum perforatum 30 C β helpful for back pain or nerve injury
o Nux vomica 30 C β great for toxicity and associated nausea
o Arsenicum album 30 C β good for garbage enteritis or food toxicity
o Cocculus indicus 30 C β great remedy for car sickness
o Apis mellifica 30 C β ideal for bee stings or bug bites
o Urtica urens 30 C β good for red, itchy rashes and swelling
Gastrointestinal remedies:
o Bentonite clay β amazing for absorbing toxins that cause gastroenteritis
o Probiotics β Vetriscience Fast Balance GI Paste
o ThorneVet β Gastriplex β great for almost all GI upset
Wound remedies:
o Mad About Organics β wound balm
o Chlorhexidine or Povidone iodine to clean wounds
