This channel is amazing. You are doing a great service and saving pets lives and saving people lots of money. Many of us cannot afford to spend 100s and 1000s on these things. I appreciate you so much doctor 🙏🏾💜
About 45 years ago my vet at the time showed me how to do this with one of my cats. They were house cats but occasionally squabled, which sometimes resulted in an abcess. It is imperative that the wound is kept open and flushed twice a day because it needs to heal from the inside out and if it seals up again before it is fully healed inside, it will abcess again. Since then I've always treated them myself and surely have saved a couple thousand dollars in that time. I've treated some horrendously large abscesses and it is amazing how quickly they heal. Thank you for sharing this. There are many things we can do for our pets. I'm a senior now on small fixed income so not running to my vet for things I am able to do at home helps and saves my money for vet emergencies I am unable to treat.
Yes I have a cat that had an abscess and it ruptured on its own and at first the hole was kind of small when it popped but then it just keeps on getting bigger and bigger what can I put on it to help it heal
I took my cat to vet today they wanted 3,000 to 4,000 to treat it daily. What can I put on open wound daily? They said it needs to be open but to me it’s big. I paid for antibiotic shot and ointment but who can afford 177 a day to take him every day for them to do what that I can’t do at home my kids are crying like crazy because they don’t want to loose him. He’s always been a indoor cat and figures the time he’s out this happens ugh!
*my dogs pus holes are 1 inch big and there are 3 such holes..please please tell me whether the skin will become normal again on its own once the infection is cleared up*
This is a real Doctor! Interested in helping his fury patients. I have watched countless videos trying to help my Baby Stormy and the others don't explain anything or over explain or cut the video off. Leaving you more confused on how to help. I'm so grateful to you and your videos we were facing financial hardship and were debating putting her to sleep because she was obviously in pain yet we didn't have the money to take her to the very expensive local vets. She's 10 years and were also concerned about putting her under for surgery
This is the kind of emergency vet care advice that I have been searching for... emergency care in NM is almost non-existent. Thank you for your efforts!
OMG! Thank you so much! With covid, there is only one vet that has remained open. Many of us can't get in to see the veterinarian. So good to have this information!!
Wish I saw your channel before today. Took my Husky into vet on Monday after waiting a few days to get an appointment even though we are registered. The lump she had for those few days was 3cm. I thought the vet was going to lance and drain it but no. Put a thin needle in it then pushed it out and in three times then was squeezing the whole lump. Only a drop of blood came out of it. Prescribed antibiotics and inflammaties for it. Within 24 hours of returning home the lump became very red and hot now it is 9cm, she is in so much discomfort. Called vet and was told to carry on with the course, dismissing the fact by poking it has made so much worse. Do not understand why the vet didn't lance it properly just like you have shown here. Hopefully I will be able to find an holistic vet near me here in the UK. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.
The same happened to my dog at the vet today. Im so worried about my dog's face I can't sleep. Im in UK also. £80 for the vet do nothing for my poor pet abscess. How's your dog now?
100 percent worked for Mr. So my sister got a new puppy One night came crying, and her dog got attacked by a big dog. She was losing so much blood. I cleaned the wound and bandaged it and sent her on her way. Well the next morning came back she was still bleeding so I kept her for I can some how stop the bleeding and I did thankfully .Had her drinking pedialyte all morning . She went to 3 vet they all denied her. Is what she told me so I said I'll keep her then I can atleast try .The poor puppy couldn't even raise up her head . I Was so nervous she would pass any moment but I had to keep trying . Well she was getting stronger her wound turned into an abcess and I followed they exact steps ! It did take 5 days for the abcess to be cleared and inflamed every single time I drained/cleaned it but it been two weeks since it healed up nicely and till this day i still give her olive tree extract 💊. Thankyou so much!
Love your channel. Follow on twitter and recommended you to all my animal rescue friends. No bull s**t or medical terms to confuse us. Straight forward and honest. You help soo many folk who love their pets but cant afford to bring them to vet all the time. A life saver for our furry friends.
Thanks for this great video, and thank you so much for choosing this path instead of the twisted profit-before-patient pharma model. My vet doesn't have an opening until the end of August, and what I thought was a 'lump' became an open sore over night. Without you, this would have been a nightmare. Now, it is managable. I think more resourcefulness and self-sufficiency is going to be required of us all for the forseeable...
This is a fantastic demonstration and especially appreciated all the at home substitutions for vet clinic options that you gave us. Really this video is goimg to save me thousands of dollars infact its already saved me 1500 just tonight alone. Thanks so much for putting this demo together, all our fur babies out here are eternally grateful!
@@Dragonfly_vbz how did yours go? My dog has a baseball sized one and we couldn't get a muzzle on him at the vet and he's really aggressive so it looks like doing it myself is the only option lol I'm nervous n just looking for some inspiration
Wow! Dr. Jones. I just watched a video of your story. I am all for natural remedies. My cat was bit by a cocker spaniel on his tail. He has an abcess now. Now I know how to care for him! Thanknyou for posting this.
THANKS,Sandy is my best friend and you help me help her. I'm thinking people tell you how much you help with their pets. To some of us, I wish it was everyone, these creatures are innocent souls. Our love is deep and loyal, as is their is. Life can throw some really hard stuff , so I just want you to know how greatfull I am for all the help you have given us. GOD Bless Much Love
Love how you teach, learning how to care for my animals and what products to use has helped me countless times, I appreciate you Dr., thanks for sharing which is caring, Happy Valentine's Day!!
What a brilliant video, so useful we have most things in the cupboard, thanks so much will remember this, but hope I never need to use it. Excellent Doc . Thanks.
I worked in a vet office for a little while and abscess's are no joke (pure nastiness) Thank you for sharing this the way you did it gets the point across in a manageable way 😨
Thank you so much for the videos you make! We just moved states and my cat got into her first fight and I’m having to do this with her now bc moving is expensive and so is the vet. You’ve saved my little baby from a lot of pain and suffering! ❤
I once had success draining an infected puss filled wound on my cat with epsom salt soaks. Fortunately my cats wounds were on his feet so I stood him in a few inches of warm water with epsom salt at my kitchen sink. Within a minute I could see a string of puss draining from his wound. I kept him in the soak for five minutes. The wounds continued to drain even after the soak. I did this twice a day for just a few days. I could tell he felt better after the first soak. If the injury was on his main body I think I'd still try the epsom salt even if just a washcloth is pressed against the wound. This is what I'd be most comfortable with and that I could handle on my own.
That cbd oil relaxed Tiger. Good to know about the abscess. My big kitty had one after a Tom bit him. I tried to perforate the bulging wound with needle but did not work and I was too squeamish to try again. Will try your way next time. Took a couple months for him to heal with it draining slowly. Thank you Dr. Jones. Informative as usual.
I had my finger lanced in hospital after pricking my finger picking blackberry, I was seriously ill hooked up to a drip and tracking through my veins a surgeon came to my bed sprayed a freezing spray and cut it with a scalpel which released the poison. My dog has an abcess now and a 7 day course of antibiotics started to work but now it’s swelling up again. I know what to do now just wish I knew what freeze spray was. Thank you Doctor Jones you are helping us help and care for our beloved pets. ❤
I went to a doctor to open up a deep heel wound that was poisoning me. My veins were turning purple and black and blue or whatever colors and my leg was swelling to the point I had to cut off my jeans. The doctor drained me and sent me home. It came back.. But the doctor visit was so painful and horrendous.. one of the worst experiences of my life (and I had two children naturally) So I took a razor blade and opened up my own wound and cleaned it out myself. I took my dog to get his abscess drained and he gave me two medications instead.. My dog is going through he11 and back with these things. I have a Great Dane. Nothing is worse than an overreacting 150 pound dog scared of the world because of the drugs he's given. It's just a small abscess on his toe! Why couldn't the vet just do it?!
This was great!! I have a four week old kitten that woke up with one of these on his head and just like you demo all this white infection came out. It is a nasty process but thank you for giving me the confidence. I am on day two of this hoping for the best
As usual Dr Jones, right on time with what we need! Got your email on poultices, too! Perfect! Rattle snake bite AND a tear from barbed-wire (I hate that stuff!). Two dogs, two ow-ees. Your CBD oil arrived this morning. Are watching me? Woof! You are a life saver, literally! Where is Tula's nurses hat?
omgoodness, thanks so much. I had been putting castor oil on what I thought was a wart above my sheltie's tail. It wasn't a wart, it was something else. It popped I guess during the night and now I had blood ooze in the coat. So following your video, I cut back the blood matted fur to get a better view, carefully tried cleaning it with peroxide-which she wasn't having. Switched to contact saline solution, which she tolerated then found the opening, put some teething gel on it as it was so sensitive-that eased her wincing and whining, gave it a small squeeze and out popped the nasty, ugh. creamy icky with what I think was a plug. Got tweezers to pull out some skin pieces that poked through-maybe a sac? Flushed the thing, got it dried and cleaned looking, filled the hole with manuka honey, topped with gauze pad and medical tape. I felt confident pausing the video as I completed the process/steps. I think she is gonna heal just fine. Appreciate this SO much.
@@VeterinarySecrets Watching it closely and gave her some Calc Sulph as a preventative. Firm believer in cell salts! Looks very clean tonight, just a bit gaping. Filled again with manuka honey. She hasn't even tried to get at it.
My dog has a big abscess, but I do not trust myself with a scalpel and my precious dog! I can only imagine, what would come out of his...I am definitely not brave enough to try. I’d end up fainting on the ground. Great video, though! Thank you!
Please read. My dog has an abscess in her face. The vet originally thought it was a tooth abscess but later identified cancer in her mouth, and now believes that the cancer is causing the infection, and the only way to treat her is chemo, or euthanasia. They said because the infection is in her face that they couldn't remove the infection, even though it had been lanced once by another vet. The infection is the only thing causing her discomfort. The infection secretes very little from the original lancing ~2 months ago, and the abscess is growing. Can I try this? I have no other options..
I unfortunately had the same situation and we inevitably had to have the dog put down. All you can do is drain it, rinse it, and give the dog antibiotics, but you are only buying time. I feel for you because it’s a terrible situation to be in.
@@kingwillie206 We let her go July 20th. She had constant fevers, and the infection made its way into her lungs making it harder for her to breathe. Now there's an empty void in our lives, unfortunately.
@@cochorrorshow1005 - Same here. My wife cried like a baby and I had to hold her while she in the fetal position for hours. Not fun times at all. I had Tinky cremated and her ashes are in a miniature custom urn on the shelf/headboard of our bed along with pictures of our family.
This is a great channel. There’s so much we can do at home for our pets. Can you do a video on draining elbow joint hygromas in dogs? Would you used a needle only or have to use a syringe?
Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! I hope you’ll find the other videos helpful. - Dr. Andrew Jones Get free ebook here: www.veterinarysecrets.com
Thanks for the info my cat has some big abscess under chin in glands and growing mussed up bee pollen with turmeric and colloidal silver .The infection is also in her mouth and jaw white silver colour. Vet gave her drugs for 2 weeks no better I asked for it to be drain she gave me prednisolone 5mg for 20 days I.m putting warm cloth on 3 times a day just started went back giving her bee pollen again because she was not eating . she started to eat a little food today.
Thank you SO MUCH. I do NOT have money man. But I can't let my little girl Autumn Breeze suffer like this. Now I feel like I have a chance to help her. I just hope the abscess is open. I just know it smells bad and I just cleaned it. Now I have to get all the important ingredients I need.
Your about to save me hella money I had no idea it could be this simple to do! I was so worried about glue I was going to help my dog not have if the money to help my baby 😢❤
Thank you so much. My cat went to Vet had surgery for this on his head. He's am still dealing with this 😢. It got so big after I left there and had to go back. They didn't do anything. It got so big and the front of his head looked deformed. I kept cleaning and using hot rag. It HURTS him so much. I am worried NOW. I was THINKING IT WAS OVER I SEE IT CAME BACK AND STARTED DRAINING A LIGHT GRAY COLOR NOW AND IT DRIED UP. I THINK IT'S STILL IN HIS HEAD SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS GET IT OPEN AND TRY TO HELP HIM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION DR JONES I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
A lump started on my mom's CHIGUAGUA the size of my pinky nail actually when I 1st noticed it now it's about 5 times bigger and it's a dark hue purple very soft bubble like air bubble type .
This is likely an 'aural hematoma' or an ear blood blister. I have videos on this www.google.com/search?q=Aural+hematoma+veterinary+secrets&rlz=1C1GCEA_enCA1021CA1022&oq=Aural+hematoma+veterinary+secrets&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2.8350j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:d1bf7d0e,vid:caCE_fS56ag
Hi Doc! Having the same issue with my 6 month old chihuahua...the cyst is of a golf ball size. Can i give him a warm bath everyday in the morning while having to drain it twice a day? I understand it will help a lot if i keep him clean while he has that hole in his lower back but not sure if it's advisable because his open cut/wound will get wet again...
I have a pair of Andis clippers that I am too afraid to use yet. Not sure how to put the guards on and off. Could you do a show and tell on best way to home groom. This would be very helpful during quarantine. I have a Coton de Tulear so I don’t plan on cutting a lot of hair, just feet, tummy, derrière and above eyes, so it doesn’t fall in face.
Thanks for your natural remedies to help clear up a drained abscess, however what causes one, could there be a foreign body inside like a thorn or similar.. would you not need to check for this and remove it ?? Thanks for your informative channel.
I love you Dr Jones!🤗 Your videos are so helpful 🐶 I have been wondering whether to open and drain the abscess or wait for it to open on it's own. Also, do most puncture wounds become abscessed? I was bitten by my 2 yo Aussie while he was having a seizure. He was on my bed and I put my leg on the edge to prevent him from falling. So the puncture bite is on the back of my calf. Not very easy to see well. 🤓
Wow that Tiger was so good! No scratching or biting 🥵. Brilliant, so funny 😂 but very helpful a good way to help us with our pets. Thank you😃. PS did Tula get Tiger back when he was better?
It drained it only a 4 wk old kitten I found abandoned 3 wks ago.I wish you lived close .I been bottle feeding them for 3 wks they are eating food good now too.She or he is eating well and drinking. I am giving raw honey too. The quote was $1,000 and they said at that age if it even lived through surgery.I had the best vet for my dogs growing up he was like you and loved animals more than the money !!
Hi:) So I thought my dog had a tumor I’m not sure if he has an abscess or not, he had a lump that was squishy and yesterday it popped and it was bloody. I can’t afford the vet and I have no idea what to do, will this work on him?
Hi! I went through you Chanel and you already helped me so much! I have a lot of problems with my Shi-tzu Lucy. She has as dust and dust mites allergy and it’s bad. She’s now 8 years old and we still can’t find the perfect solution. Nothing seems to really help besides bathing her often with special shampoo and taking apoquel everyday and flax oil. She still scratches herself so much until she gets bad hot spots. And gets yeast infections so often. We went to so many vets and spend so much money and there’s still nothing that helps her 100%. Do you have any tips? I would really appreciate it. Thank you! 🙏
I love your videos. It's so helpful to have more education on animal health. If a cyst is round, movable (as described by vet) and filled with completely clear fluid (it has drained on its own and completely deflated, only to fill up again a day later). Does this indicate that it is lower risk? My cat is 12,i would like to avoid surgery if possible.
My mini dachshund just had one of those on his butt it was open and a bunch of serosanguineous fluid drained out after I squeezed it. Too bad I didn't see your video before he got this thing. Can you use any kind of black tea to flush?
Hi I found an abandoned persian cat in my backyard. Among other problems, its tongue is the most worrying. It sticks out and almost always touches her palate when i look in to it, there's like a clear swelling underneath its tongue. This makes eating a bit of a challenge for her and she also drools so much creating a foul smell. I'm still a 2nd year vet student (in a 3rd world country) trying to save money to take her to the vet but in the meantime is there a home remedy to treat this swelling ?
Because of covid 19 our groomer isnt doing nail trimming. How can I calm my dog to trim his nails? I can get 1 done but he won't let me do more. Thank you.
Hey i have a question! My dog has Perianal abscess and we usually don't go to vets due to the fact we're not stable right now and I wanted to know how i could treat my dog using home remedies perhaps? I would really appreciate it
Not really sure how to tell the difference between an abcess and a cyst. My little Faith has a bump on her back on the side of the spine its not attached to the spine and moves around but feels hard within . Are you able to help me understand what I am seeing better?
How is Faith doing? My little Jangles has a cyst in the same place as Faith and I’m going to use some magnesium sulphate paste on him today and see if will draw some puss out, or at least shrink it x
I’m not ready :( lol my ‘stray’ cat is uh. Not. Going to be okay with this lmao. Hhahahahahaha ew hahaha I’m so glad you made these videos. Seriously thank you. Been YouTubing all day about what to do and yours are the best ones I have found.
If the mass has mostly come out ( after doing several Epsom salt compress/bath - treating the surface with antiseptic- it had burst out through the wound sight - without making an incision- ) 2 hrs after the last compress, I noticed the yellow liquid all over my cats fur. I cleaned it again. Soaked the sight well, put on medicine. My cat peanut recently had surgery, so I still have some cat liquid morphine znd I gave him some. He's purring at my feet...I do have multiple types of antibiotics due to having my own abscess and crones disease,, is there a type of antibiotic I might have I can give my cat? And how much...thank you for any help you can give 🙂
Thanks Doc. I suffer from Hidradenitis Supportiva (chronic abscesses) I'm going to take a shot at lancing my cat tonight. Better out than in. I believe in myself. I wish I knew how to bandage afterwards.
Your video on pyometria literally saved me over $5,000 and saved my dog’s life. I will forever be a big fan of you and your work.

My dog is going through he11 and back with these things. I have a Great Dane. Nothing is worse than an overreacting 150 pound dog scared of the world because of the drugs he's given.
It's just a small abscess on his toe! Why couldn't the vet just do it?!
This was great!! I have a four week old kitten that woke up with one of these on his head and just like you demo all this white infection came out. It is a nasty process but thank you for giving me the confidence. I am on day two of this hoping for the best
i have a puppy with something similar, did your kittens abscess also take forever to drain??
God Bless you for this video Dr. Jones you have no idea how many people you are helping you are God sent ❤❤
Thank you so much
As usual Dr Jones, right on time with what we need! Got your email on poultices, too! Perfect! Rattle snake bite AND a tear from barbed-wire (I hate that stuff!). Two dogs, two ow-ees. Your CBD oil arrived this morning. Are watching me? Woof! You are a life saver, literally! Where is Tula's nurses hat?
I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope the CBD oil helped and your dogs are okay.
Thank you Dr. Jones. Very helpful.
Thank you for this! It confirms the at-home treatment I gave to my Pom for her abscess. I'll keep flushing the wound to clean. Thank you doctor!
omgoodness, thanks so much. I had been putting castor oil on what I thought was a wart above my sheltie's tail. It wasn't a wart, it was something else. It popped I guess during the night and now I had blood ooze in the coat. So following your video, I cut back the blood matted fur to get a better view, carefully tried cleaning it with peroxide-which she wasn't having. Switched to contact saline solution, which she tolerated then found the opening, put some teething gel on it as it was so sensitive-that eased her wincing and whining, gave it a small squeeze and out popped the nasty, ugh. creamy icky with what I think was a plug. Got tweezers to pull out some skin pieces that poked through-maybe a sac? Flushed the thing, got it dried and cleaned looking, filled the hole with manuka honey, topped with gauze pad and medical tape. I felt confident pausing the video as I completed the process/steps. I think she is gonna heal just fine. Appreciate this SO much.
You’re welcome. Make sure to clean it thoroughly and keep us posted.

@@VeterinarySecrets Watching it closely and gave her some Calc Sulph as a preventative. Firm believer in cell salts! Looks very clean tonight, just a bit gaping. Filled again with manuka honey. She hasn't even tried to get at it.
I think this is one of the best videos ever thank you ...
Man! I bet Tiger feels alot better now! Good job Doc.👍 I have to do it now on my dog. Great video. You explain more than most. Thanks.
Nice! Thank you so much!❤️
My dog has a big abscess, but I do not trust myself with a scalpel and my precious dog! I can only imagine, what would come out of his...I am definitely not brave enough to try. I’d end up fainting on the ground. Great video, though! Thank you!
Me too!
That is understandable, glad you like the video.
Me too. I will have to let vet do this
You are Awesome Awesomeness Thank you for being here with us during these challenging times God Bless you from South Louisiana bayou country 🌷🌷🌷
Can a saline solution be used in substitute of black tea?
That was a really good video. It was all natural & that is wonderful. Thank you Dr. Jones for making such an easy to understand video.
You're welcome, happy to help.
Please read. My dog has an abscess in her face. The vet originally thought it was a tooth abscess but later identified cancer in her mouth, and now believes that the cancer is causing the infection, and the only way to treat her is chemo, or euthanasia. They said because the infection is in her face that they couldn't remove the infection, even though it had been lanced once by another vet. The infection is the only thing causing her discomfort. The infection secretes very little from the original lancing ~2 months ago, and the abscess is growing. Can I try this? I have no other options..
I unfortunately had the same situation and we inevitably had to have the dog put down. All you can do is drain it, rinse it, and give the dog antibiotics, but you are only buying time. I feel for you because it’s a terrible situation to be in.
@@kingwillie206 We let her go July 20th. She had constant fevers, and the infection made its way into her lungs making it harder for her to breathe. Now there's an empty void in our lives, unfortunately.
@@cochorrorshow1005 - Same here. My wife cried like a baby and I had to hold her while she in the fetal position for hours. Not fun times at all. I had Tinky cremated and her ashes are in a miniature custom urn on the shelf/headboard of our bed along with pictures of our family.
This is a great channel. There’s so much we can do at home for our pets. Can you do a video on draining elbow joint hygromas in dogs? Would you used a needle only or have to use a syringe?
This is great… why is black tea the way for flushing?
Okay, based upon this video that I just happened upon, I MUST subscribe and have done so! Thank you, you did such a wonderful job!
Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! I hope you’ll find the other videos helpful.

Thank you SO MUCH. I do NOT have money man. But I can't let my little girl Autumn Breeze suffer like this. Now I feel like I have a chance to help her. I just hope the abscess is open. I just know it smells bad and I just cleaned it. Now I have to get all the important ingredients I need.
Your about to save me hella money I had no idea it could be this simple to do! I was so worried about glue I was going to help my dog not have if the money to help my baby 😢❤
Thank you so much. My cat went to Vet had surgery for this on his head. He's am still dealing with this 😢.
It got so big after I left there and had to go back. They didn't do anything. It got so big and the front of his head looked deformed. I kept cleaning and using hot rag. It HURTS him so much. I am worried NOW. I was THINKING IT WAS OVER I SEE IT CAME BACK AND STARTED DRAINING A LIGHT GRAY COLOR NOW AND IT DRIED UP. I THINK IT'S STILL IN HIS HEAD SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS GET IT OPEN AND TRY TO HELP HIM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION DR JONES I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Wonderful video as always doc
Thank you.
A lump started on my mom's CHIGUAGUA the size of my pinky nail actually when I 1st noticed it now it's about 5 times bigger and it's a dark hue purple very soft bubble like air bubble type .
This is likely an 'aural hematoma' or an ear blood blister. I have videos on this www.google.com/search?q=Aural+hematoma+veterinary+secrets&rlz=1C1GCEA_enCA1021CA1022&oq=Aural+hematoma+veterinary+secrets&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2.8350j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:d1bf7d0e,vid:caCE_fS56ag
Really excellent stuff. Be proud of yourself.
Thanks!
How do you make sure you don’t hit the veins? My girl has an abscess on her front paw.
please do a video on fatty tumors and/or cancerous tumors.
I have old videos on that. Please check this playlist on lumps and lipomas: bit.ly/2MzWYBN
Thank you so much 🧑⚕️ 🐶
Holistically is the way to go ❤️
Love your videos but I’m not so dure how to. Get your free book 📕 🙏🏼
Hi Doc! Having the same issue with my 6 month old chihuahua...the cyst is of a golf ball size. Can i give him a warm bath everyday in the morning while having to drain it twice a day? I understand it will help a lot if i keep him clean while he has that hole in his lower back but not sure if it's advisable because his open cut/wound will get wet again...
I LOVE Tula the poodle!!!!!!! That looked yucky 😝 😝. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Tula says she loves you too:)
Hi, thank you so much for this video. Where do I find the black tea?
The grocery store most all tea is black tea, however, read the content.
I have a pair of Andis clippers that I am too afraid to use yet. Not sure how to put the guards on and off. Could you do a show and tell on best way to home groom. This would be very helpful during quarantine. I have a Coton de Tulear so I don’t plan on cutting a lot of hair, just feet, tummy, derrière and above eyes, so it doesn’t fall in face.
Can I use green tea or chamomile?
Omg you’re the best ever . God bless you !
Thanks for your natural remedies to help clear up a drained abscess, however what causes one, could there be a foreign body inside like a thorn or similar.. would you not need to check for this and remove it ?? Thanks for your informative channel.
Thank you
You're welcome.
I love you Dr Jones!🤗 Your videos are so helpful 🐶 I have been wondering whether to open and drain the abscess or wait for it to open on it's own. Also, do most puncture wounds become abscessed?
I was bitten by my 2 yo Aussie while he was having a seizure. He was on my bed and I put my leg on the edge to prevent him from falling. So the puncture bite is on the back of my calf. Not very easy to see well. 🤓
@@scorpio777777 no I havent opened it. There is still a bruise, but slowly the lump is shrinking
This guy deserves the Nobel prize
My 6 yrs old poodle has a mass on her left neck. Should I use your method without knowing is it an abcess or saliva glandula infection?
Thank you! I needed a smile today. 😊
You're welcome
Wow that Tiger was so good! No scratching or biting 🥵. Brilliant, so funny 😂 but very helpful a good way to help us with our pets. Thank you😃.
PS did Tula get Tiger back when he was better?
Glad you enjoyed it!
My cat has a swelling ,hot ears been on long last antibiotics. I dont see a puncture mark ,could it still be an abscess, its not red
God Bless you for doing what you do!
You are the best !! Thank you ! 1,000 or more for the vet to drain the abscess!!
Happy to help, hope it works for you in the future if needed:)
It drained it only a 4 wk old kitten I found abandoned 3 wks ago.I wish you lived close .I been bottle feeding them for 3 wks they are eating food good now too.She or he is eating well and drinking. I am giving raw honey too. The quote was $1,000 and they said at that age if it even lived through surgery.I had the best vet for my dogs growing up he was like you and loved animals more than the money !!
Hi:)
So I thought my dog had a tumor I’m not sure if he has an abscess or not, he had a lump that was squishy and yesterday it popped and it was bloody. I can’t afford the vet and I have no idea what to do, will this work on him?
Awesome!! You are the best!
Thank you!
Hi! I went through you Chanel and you already helped me so much! I have a lot of problems with my Shi-tzu Lucy. She has as dust and dust mites allergy and it’s bad. She’s now 8 years old and we still can’t find the perfect solution. Nothing seems to really help besides bathing her often with special shampoo and taking apoquel everyday and flax oil. She still scratches herself so much until she gets bad hot spots. And gets yeast infections so often. We went to so many vets and spend so much money and there’s still nothing that helps her 100%. Do you have any tips? I would really appreciate it. Thank you! 🙏
I love your videos. It's so helpful to have more education on animal health.
If a cyst is round, movable (as described by vet) and filled with completely clear fluid (it has drained on its own and completely deflated, only to fill up again a day later). Does this indicate that it is lower risk? My cat is 12,i would like to avoid surgery if possible.
Does this apply to the fatty deposits laphomia i forgot what it's called exactly
Hi is it just normal tetley black tea?
Your doing Gods work sir ❤for natural antibiotics I use a cocktail of honey, coconut oil, silver and CBD.
Thank you!❤️
How do you know if it is an abscess, rather than a tumor? Is there a way to tell?
My dog has bone infection and vet gave an antibiotic only. I m worried about that .he did not open infected area. Can antibiotic help,? Thank you
My mini dachshund just had one of those on his butt it was open and a bunch of serosanguineous fluid drained out after I squeezed it. Too bad I didn't see your video before he got this thing. Can you use any kind of black tea to flush?
Great video Doc! Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Glad you liked it!
Hi I found an abandoned persian cat in my backyard. Among other problems, its tongue is the most worrying. It sticks out and almost always touches her palate when i look in to it, there's like a clear swelling underneath its tongue. This makes eating a bit of a challenge for her and she also drools so much creating a foul smell. I'm still a 2nd year vet student (in a 3rd world country) trying to save money to take her to the vet but in the meantime is there a home remedy to treat this swelling ?
Hi. I'm just reading your comment on 11/15/23. How is kitty doing?
Would a saline solution work as a flushing fluid too?
Thanks!
Welcome!
Because of covid 19 our groomer isnt doing nail trimming. How can I calm my dog to trim his nails? I can get 1 done but he won't let me do more.
Thank you.
I have the same issue he just hates getting his nails done
Me too
You can try giving him a snack so he's distracted, I just did a video on it- ruclips.net/video/gsoZw9nURN4/видео.html
Hope you enjoy:)
do it when he is sleepy or very exhausted after playing so that he has no energy to resist
Hey i have a question! My dog has Perianal abscess and we usually don't go to vets due to the fact we're not stable right now and I wanted to know how i could treat my dog using home remedies perhaps? I would really appreciate it
How do you keep the incision open so it can be flushed out for 2 days?
Not really sure how to tell the difference between an abcess and a cyst. My little Faith has a bump on her back on the side of the spine its not attached to the spine and moves around but feels hard within . Are you able to help me understand what I am seeing better?
How is Faith doing? My little Jangles has a cyst in the same place as Faith and I’m going to use some magnesium sulphate paste on him today and see if will draw some puss out, or at least shrink it x
@@BlowinFree I used the DMSO on it for two days and it is now completely gone! It’s been gone a couple weeks!
@@beckiwildeman600 please excuse my ignorance but what is DMSO? Fab news about Faith! ❤
@@BlowinFree Dimethyl sulfoxide ( DMSO) Thank you.
I love DMSO it is great with adding with essential oils. If I knew your address I would share. 😘
was NOT ready for the puss! 🤮🤣 this is a great tutorial! hope Tiger is all better 😜
I’m not ready :( lol my ‘stray’ cat is uh. Not. Going to be okay with this lmao. Hhahahahahaha ew hahaha I’m so glad you made these videos. Seriously thank you. Been YouTubing all day about what to do and yours are the best ones I have found.
If the mass has mostly come out ( after doing several Epsom salt compress/bath - treating the surface with antiseptic- it had burst out through the wound sight - without making an incision- ) 2 hrs after the last compress, I noticed the yellow liquid all over my cats fur. I cleaned it again. Soaked the sight well, put on medicine.
My cat peanut recently had surgery, so I still have some cat liquid morphine znd I gave him some. He's purring at my feet...I do have multiple types of antibiotics due to having my own abscess and crones disease,, is there a type of antibiotic I might have I can give my cat? And how much...thank you for any help you can give 🙂
My dog pops his abscess by himself, he just scratches them and they pop. Sometimes were midway to the vet and he pops them
Can I use a 1x1 square of Lidocaine patch before starting?
Thanks Doc. I suffer from Hidradenitis Supportiva (chronic abscesses) I'm going to take a shot at lancing my cat tonight. Better out than in. I believe in myself. I wish I knew how to bandage afterwards.
Black tea is actually good to use to clean out an open abscess?
Can you do this same thing with interdigital cysts ?
