Hi, I have some recipes for allergies, flea control (natural) and other
things, would you like me to send them to you? It could take me a few days
as I have just changed PC's and had to put a lot of my stuff on floppy disks
which means I have loads of stuff to trawl through, but if you can be
patient, I will get them to you. Regards, Sam

> Hi, my name is Stacy, and I have two boxers an almost 4 yo male (Rocky)and
a 3 yo female (Madison). We live on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. My female is
neutered my male is not. My female is one of the healthiest dogs I've ever
owned. My male is not. I'm anxious to participate in this list, and learn
all kinds of good things from all you knowledgeable members. I have been
feeding both of my dogs BARF for the last 8 or so months. I'm convinced
that has helped tremendously. I am now in the process of weaning my male
off of the prednisone that he's been on to control allergies because I feel
that if we are going to try to boost his immune system holistally and
nutritionally, then the Prednisone is counterproductive. Anyway, my boy is
exhibiting signs of Prednisone-induced Cushings disease, which is another
reason we are getting him off of it.

lots of allergies -- food, inhaled, environmental. One of my main concerns
is how I can control fleas and ticks holistically. I thought I read
somewhere that two or three drops of eucalyptus oil in a spray bottle with
water, sprayed on just before going outside is a good repellant. Any other
suggestions?
