If you have not seen before and after pics of that little miracle, here: Index of /cody |
One of the soaks I have used twice was warm water and white vinegar but the amount of vinegar I used is about 1 tbsp. to one cup of water. Also tried mixing in a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide in another rinse, together with the tablespoon of vinegar to little effect. Tried a tablespoon of baking soda in a cup of water another rinse - no difference in post-rinse odor. I changed the portions to 1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide and 1/3 cup white vinegar and 1/2 cup water and Tibbe kept lifting up his feet, as if they were burning or something - acting uncomfortable. I quickly got him out of that and rinsed off his feet and he licked them for a while until I shampooed them off and dried them and put some vaseline on them. But they didn't stink for a while after that but of course I wouldn't use that combo again. I'll continue to rinse him in vinegar and water and up my portion of vinegar but should I try half- and half?
All I can say once again is God bless you, Linda, for your work with these babies! I CANNOT BELIEVE THE UTTER CHANGE IN LITTLE CODY IN THOSE PICTURES! He IS a miracle! Bless his sweet little heart! I hate to even see that before picture of that poor little baby. He looks utterly miserable and lost, hopeless. You sure made his life over by helping that baby get ride of that horrible infection! Imagine how good he felt getting free of that mess! If our early regimen doesn't work, we're changing to Selsun Blue and keeping up the vinegar/water rinses!!!
