ps. my vet said that the vinegar thing is a old fashion way to do it but he didn't say anything negative about that and I didn't ask either |
Another FYI....I just read this in a different thread, and thought you might want to know...

The vet couldn't do anything except monitor/comfort the poor furbaby on the way out of her life.  The vet said she would NOT recommend any dose of Tea Tree Oil on any dog. |

Ellie May replied and said that "it is more toxic to cats than dogs but it still does pose a risk, especially if ingested. I would not use it at all." Apparently, it is in some dog shampoos too, so make sure to read the ingredients!! I can't believe it is known to be toxic but they put it in dog products anyway!!!
