Kris, where would I buy or get Alum from please???

 

[kris]

we used to buy it in a packet from our local chemist along with flowers of sulphur and many other remedies that i think should still be available unless theyve been banned by some obscure european directive!you just put a couple of tablespoons full in a bowl of warm water and hold the dogs paw in it for as long as you can.i also used it as an astringent to get a liver and tan dobermann bitches milk bar back in shape after having pups.livers take ages to get their shape back after having pups unlike black and tans

The vet sold us some shampoo to bathe his foot in twice a day for as long as possible - it is Etiderm antibacterial shampoo but probably only recommended it because it was about £5 :rant:

He suggested putting the shampoo and a bit of water in a plastic bag and tying it onto his foot so it got a good soaking but you can imagine what happened next :- "

I honestly think it is something to do with his diet as they do seem to flair up if he gets something with wheat in and I cannot think of anything else that would cause them as the vet always gives his paw a good feel and there is never anything lodged in there to cause it.

I'd cut wheat out for a few months, that should be real easy.

Go with your gut instinct, and cutting out wheat wont harm a bit.

How is Kobi's paw getting on? I seem to remember using epsom salts solution to bring out the infection before it burst.
