Worming

I'm sure i read a post about this a while ago but damned if i can find it now!
I was looking for a natural way to worm Diesel and how effective it is and how regular to do it?

I've never tried these, but I've heard some good things about them:

• A clove of garlic each day

• Crushed pumpkin seeds

• Vitamin A

Some people recommend fasting to rid the body of endoparasites, as they can't feed. I wouldn't be comfortable doing that, though.

I think this question is for Ella, ELLA

Diatomaceous Earth might be what you were looking for. It doesn't cover lungworm, though.

You can also treat holistically, but I can't remember the name. If you want it, I'll check with a friend who uses it regularly.

I worm naturally!

I use diatomaceous earth and swear by it! for worming and other things.

I bought it from ebay and must be food grade DE I feed 3 times a week now after the initially daily dose for 2 week

I also use, garlic and apple cider vinegar

This would concern me.....
Safety considerations
Diatomaceous earth is approved for use in food, but poses an inhalation hazard because it can cause silicosis. Natural or dried diatomite generally contains crystalline silica. Diatomite produced for pool filters is treated with high heat (calcining) and a fluxing agent (soda ash), causing the formerly silicon dioxide to assume its crystalline form. A mask is necessary for working with DE products.

yep you don't want to breathe it in

Thanks all, i usually put sum crushed garlic in her food a few times a week, i'll try and get sum cider vinegar too. Looked at that diatomaceous earth on ebay...do i just put that in her food?

Surely the dog can't help but breathe some of it in when they're eating?

I have to say that from what I've read I wouldn't use it.

you have to breathe MASSIVE amounts for any possible health problems, not in the tiny amounts that would be on their food.

DE is a very very common product to use for deworming and i've not heard a single negative thing against it
