Wow,

I never had any dogs with diarea, but I saved a wild kitty once, and it had the worst diarea I ever seen and both my experiances and the vets could not save this cat, neither of us could find the cause....maybe mites.

The scarey part was the cat died after only 2 weeks, but my son and myself both took very ill after that and again the doctors couldnt figure why, same symptoms as that cat. No one ever looked for mites in the cat or us.

I cant remember what treatments we took, but we lived...obviously...lol...

So much in hignsite (sp)....next time I will look for mites in these animals and us too maybe.

unbeleivable, something so common and really prevalent around us every where and no one ever looks for this infection.....

LOL!! Someone had offered me a bunch of herbs that they had too. I HAD to decline graciously because of the same reason you described. It totally defeated the purpose of having the medicinal herbs.

You mentioned chickens, oh boy, they have a lot of mites.
