[bear bears gram]

Hi ya'll,

I ahven't beenhere in a while as I have been so busy working.

Today i came in from work and picked up my baby and he had a matted clump of hair under his left ear on the left side of his face.

I bathed him last nite, he was fine, fine this morn before work, fine at lunch time, then I come home to this. I cut the clump of hair out, had to it was matted so bad from scratching, put some corona salve on it and wrapped it in gauze and stretch tape, he did NOT like that so now his face is uncovered and his left front paw is wrapped so he can't scratch, he seems to finally be content with that. I changed his food slowly to nutro natural. I bathe him in tea tree oil or a natural flea product, but that doesn't help his scabs on his head, under his chin or on his back, the best thing that I have used so far is head and shoulders for humans. He keeps getting these teeny eeny ticks all over him, I don't know how to control that naturally unless I go with garlic.

Does anyone know if you can give colloidal silver to dogs. For humans it is considered a natural antibiotic and I used it last year in place of antibiotics on myself to get rid of bronchitis and walking pnuemonia. I had been sick with one thing after another for 6 weeks, finally searched on line, found colloidal silver, used it in a nebulizer for 3 days and was 100 percent okay and didn't have to spend 150 dollars in prescriptions. I still use it when I feel something coming on and the next day I am like brand new. I also heard you can use kyodophilus powder or any dophilus powder on your dogs food to eliminate bad bacteria and promote good bacteria, help with digestion, get rid of staph infections etc. It works for me and I used it on my cocker spaniel.

I am at a loss here, don't know what caused this scratching all of a sudden today. He has the scabby flaky skin, but no itching so far, he seems okay, playing as usual but he scratched hisself raw in 4 hours and a matted clump of hair. he's asleep on my lap now,

any one have any suggestions, I'm open to anything... I would prefer natural cures or holistic to medications and chemicals and prescriptions.. I want to treat the problem, not the symptom and I want a permanent cure, not one that I have to keep doing over and over with medication.

thanks a bunch,
