Topic Dog Boards / Health / Diluting hibiscrub for foot wash and diamateous earth powder
- By HAMISH75 [gb] Date 26.02.11 13:10 UTC
Hi All

I have just posted an update on robbie but need to find out the proper dilution dose for hibiscrub foot washes and also how you use diamateous earth powder, i have currently been using thornit powder but with not much improvement seemed to stop him at 1st but then has gone back to licking his feet again over the past week and also has been sick on ingesting this powder some days. Would appreciate any advice before using it, i have been told to use it by the homeopath so not just off my own back but they were not sure of the details of useage and i know some people on here have used it so thought somebody would be able to help me.

My vet recommends (dilution of approx 1 part hibiscrub to 20 parts water)
Should make a pale pink solution, hope this helps!
This site http://diatomx.co.uk/ Will hopefully give you the answers for the powder.

The important thing with Diatomateous Earth is to make sure its Food Grade...so I always buy mine from wiggly wigglers  (Dosing frequencies for all animals are on the tub that it comes in)

http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk - its under Best Sellers

It is absolutely brilliant stuff for killing worms...fleas...ticks...mites (and any creepy crawlies for that matter) and has a multitude of other uses..... Just dust lightly into coat to kill fleas and ticks and add to raw food to kill worms. Dust between toes and pads.... to remove residues. Best of all it is 100% safe...and 100% natural....so you can safely and naturally do away with monthly chemical flea treatments (which in Robbies case would be just another burden on a fragile immune system)

Although the following is quite "Americanised" there is lots of useful information about Diatomateous Earth.... and its uses... applications....dosings...frequencies etc on the following site (if this link works !)

I don't know about using hibiscrub....
