My dog was dying due to excessive vomiting and diarrhea for 2 weeks. After about 1k in vet bills and no help, a vet on a consultant app told me to give him pepcid ac. In 6 hours, he was showing massive improvement and he recovered fully.
Hi, how did you give it to him? Alone or mixed with water?
@@sabias3932 I had to dissolve it in a tiny bit of water and syringe it into his mouth because he wasn't keeping anything down.
So happy that your dog has made a full recovery❤
I've had two dogs with acid reflux , both took pepcid
I gave my Dying dog my meds for 10 days. Her Cancer and possible poisoning could not be stopped. Those ten days those Meds helped so much.. On Nov 14 she went on to a forest in the ski, for some dear hunting. Rhodesian Ridgbacks like the chase... My pain just wont go away right now.
This man gave up being a licensed vet to help people care for their pets. To me this speaks volumes about this person's character. In this modern world where it seems everything is a money grab, I find his approach refreshing!
How do you know he gave up his license?
I have 60dogs and so many things are used from over the counter for humans ...Vets rip you off and this guy speaks the truth...Your wrong been doing this 17yrs
fab help us in emergency xxxxx
This man is an INSPIRATION! THANK YOU!
My fav Vet on line! Thank you for helping us.
A very long time ago, when I was 10, my cat, Tuffy, came home with a severe wound around his ear. My step dad was old school and would not take an animal to a vet. So my step sister and I worked together to clean the wound with straight peroxide and an ant bacteria ointment. We changed his bandages every day. Tuffy was fully healed in a couple of weeks. Fur fully restored in a couple of months. We were 10 and 12 when we did this.
One thing I do now is ask, what exactly will the vet do for this wound? Unless they're stitching it closed, most of the time they give you antibiotics (just in case), which as we know is not necessarily a good idea, unless there's a good reason, and then charge you 2x the price for some otc cream or eardrops that if you Google, you find out is $10 at the pharmacy. Yet they'll tell you it's so expensive because 'other places buy it wholesale' Okay, so you're telling me that a practice with 6 vets working full time doesn't buy enough to charge reasonable rates? Absolutely bollocks, and they try to assert that this is the 'true' cost of health care (the way the American health system does, while charging you $25 for a bandage that costs $1.50), and that's why it's suddenly so expensive. No, you just got greedy, you got bought out by a greedy, money-grubbing American veterinary chain, and now no one can afford to treat their pets. Thanks a bunch for lowering our quality of life.
@@Dontstopbelievingman
They will give you a big bill for it, you can be sure 😁
@@DontstopbelievingmanI agree with your mentality but it's not our quality of life - it's our dogs!
My 15 year old dogs got a awful diarrhea and one had to be put to sleep because of blood loss. The other 2 I fed fresh chicken with noodles and fresh GINGER...my granddaughter works for a vet and we agree for trauma medical science is wonderful but for internal conditions there's natural help. Anyway my 2 dogs got well very quickly and lived a few months longer until they died of old age. I adopted a youngster at the shelter and his common kennel cough responded well to warm water with honey and leaving the shower on awhile...it was a cool, dry spring here in Georgia.
At almost 76 I made my will leaving my pets to my granddaughter...it's important. There are people who promise to care for your pets but the first thing they do is dump them. It has to be someone who loves you and loves animals. Deathbed promises are very sacred.
I volunteered at a shelter when I first retired and the saddest thing I saw was an animal being surrendered because their owner had died and the family didn’t want it. After Covid I decided rather than going back to the shelter, I would adopt senior animals. I adopted two dachshunds last year whose owner had died. Sweetest animals I have ever owned.
Great doggy patient
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
@@DonnaAbrams-qh7zt omg that’s so sweet of you! I love that breed if dog, theyre awesome. Poor babies, God bless people like you who have a heart and are able to take care of precious dogs that don’t have much of a chance to get adopted. ❤️
My biggest fear is not outliving my animals. Once they are all gone I am willing to leave this world
I am a doctor and I get super annoyed when I take my dog to a vet and he does not disclose the diagnosis and writes the most expensive compositions, I tried communicating my concerns but shear dismissal. I just want to be able to take care of my baby at home and recognize early signs without freaking out and probably take care of minor stuff. Thank you for this channel! Finally, the kinda resource I wanted.
I would go to another Vet.
Same my vet is so busy that it’s hard to talk to the staff the day way but they are also where I found her so I feel bad not talking her back there for a while at least only had her a few months maybe I’ll get a backup one with her records if needed, maybe that’s a good ideas for u too
Find another vet
Internal med drs do the exact same thing.
Amen to that.......I wonder if these 7 otc can also be used for cats???
This doctor is amazing ,at 73 yrs old I cant afford to take my dogs to a vet ,I appreciate every thing you do for these animala
I'm glad you find my videos helpful, I'm happy to help as much as I can
Thank you ❤
@@VeterinarySecrets You are indeed helping many of us. I live in a place in which vetrerinarians have studied that what the pharma industey wants them to "learn" and instead of helping our dogs, many veterinarians just sell pharma products at the costs of thechealth of our dogs and it is not seldom that a healthy dog with something insignificant like a light cold, then dies of kidney failure right after visiting the vet because of the vet "bombing" him with as many pharmacological stuff as possible.
My vets price just for an anal gland expression went from $18 to$45! Tooth clean $600, up to$1600.
If you can't afford to take your dog to a vet you shouldn't have one. Do you deny yourself medical care when you need it?
My cat was very ill and diagnosed with asthma. When he worsened i took him back. On examination, he had two large tumors. One blocking his airway, the other pressing against his esophagus. They gave him less than two days. I asked for a steroid to shrink the masses so i could get meds and fluids into him. I immediately came to this channel and incorporated every suggestion for cancer. My cat showed improvement within the week. They said it was impossible. After two years, i stopped dosing him and the tumors returned. This time, they were unresponsive to the treatment, and i lost him. I think I'd still have him had i not stopped treatment.
This is an amazing doctor, and i will be forever grateful for the two extra years i had with my boy. I come to this guy before i go anywhere else.
I love the internet for this very reason. And because of Dr. Jones's knowledge of being able to treat our pets at home, this is why he is being seen as a threat. We are finally returning to shared knowledge with neighbors, family, community through the internet as a medium. What a beautiful way to honor your cat to care for him at home. May he rest in sweet peace and may your heart be forever bigger because of his love.
@heidigmail1529 what a sweet thing to say. Thank you so much. I will, indeed, miss him forever.
Great videos. Too many vets on You tube say "take your dog (or cat) to the vet." Do we run to a doctor every time we have a minor ailment? No, we treat it at home with OTC meds. The trick is knowing how much to give according to weight. He's giving us that information. I love your videos, Doc.
Do you realize how many pets have died due to OTC Panacure C, etc.. ?? Or prescribed Drontal Plus?... What homemade drugs are you on?
@@atlas79-om1hn how many pets? personal experience or have you read a study?
@@bennyblanco2523Prob neither. Lol.
Now this is a vet who really cares about relieving the suffering of animals and not just out to exploit pet owner... God bless you sir 🙏
Thanks
If a vet really cares (and have balls), he will educate you on harmful effects of graphene oxide (present in every vaccine), devastating effects (mental and physical health) of s/n rather then talk you into these barbaric procedures. One must really hate dogs to perform such horrible mutilation and ruin their natural healthy anatomy for life. Now, if I were to present myself as DR. Jeff Atlas, would you send me some blessing as well?...
Many thanks for the wonderful helpful suggestions...The sharing of knowledge without putting a price on it, is truly a sign of compassion for our beloved pets. 🙏
Then how come when I bought one of his products, it made my dogs sick for a week?
Hi my dog been hit and run car.. just on her paw... little wound.. what best medicine for her.
Here in Spain it is quite common for vets to write a prescription and then tell you to go to the regular human Pharmacy to purchase it. There you can get the generic or brand name version and save a lot of money. I really love having dogs in Spain. The vet system here just makes more sense. My dogs are 15 years old in May and still as healthy as when they were 5
Yes, it's like that in Italy too!
Why do Spanish people torture and hang dogs from trees then?
@@BG-hp6mu People from all countries abuse animals. It is not a representation of an entire country. For many people here dogs are part of the family and they welcome in pretty much all stores, cafes and restaurants plus I have almost never seen an apartment or house for rent that doesnt allow dogs. The people that abuse them are disgusting but not exclusive to Spain and not common among the Spanish, Catalans or Euskaldunak populations.
Can u give us tipps what these medicines are?
Totally agree
Healthcare the way it should be done! By a caring and sensible healthcare professional. Thank you.
??
God love you Dr. Jones . I just don't have the money to pay my Vet right now for all these tests and over priced medications. He is so expensive to see right now. You are such a cool ,kind man for giving this info to us. I hope you know how much we love you. Thanks
That sure definitely is true most definitely would be awesome to be able to have a party with all of us together for him wouldn't it and we could all hug him and thank him for everything Ms power that is kind and loving and truthful and real and natural he's so very sweet God bless him God bless you Dr Jones🕊️ you literally are a light of God here helping all of us what a gift you are your presence sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet man thank you so very much!!!!!
Another thing you can use on your pets is honey - the kind you get from your local beekeeper, not the junk in stores. It is great for wound healing. When I was a young nurse, we had a morbidly obese lady whose abdominal wound kept eviscerating (pulling apart for those of you who don't know). We applied honey to the open wound several times a day and it caused new tissue to form. My Maltipoo just had knee surgery and of course, she messed up her incision. So, I used honey on it, put her in one of those newborn onesies, and now it is completely healed. And the good thing is, if they lick it, it doesn't hurt them. You can store honey indefinitely in your cabinet - it doesn't need to be refrigerated. They actually discovered some in some Egyptian tombs that was still good.
Yes we give our dogs honey and we also put it on wounds as it helps them heal
Also daily consumption of local honey aids allergies greatly!
Bees are such tiny creatures that help humans so much.
Manuka Honey is our go to Honey
liquid brown stevia is also excellent for wound healing
Tula is a fantastic patient. What a fab dog! She deserves some special treats for her participation.
I mean no disrespect, but did your baby even need those eye drops or ear creams? It seems unnecessary to put a pet through that if it isn't needed just to demonstrate the proper way to apply the meds. I'm sure using a stuffed animal would be just as effective without making your pet go through that if it wasn't needed. Thank you for this valuable list though.
She's the best patient ever ❤️
@@jayneanthony5652 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@EvvynMesince you don't know for sure that Tula didn't actually have those infections hence his using those on her, why are you scolding? Did it ever occur to you that this video idea came to him because he was treating her with those?
@@EvvynMe You mean no disrespect? I think he knows what he's doing, but thanks for judging.
OMG ... just spent over $400 at the Veterinarian and none of my concerns were addressed ( excessive licking at night. Discovered your channel today and all the expensive prescribed medications I have been getting for years for hundreds of dollars are mostly just over the counter medications I probably could get for $10
My dog suffered from excessive licking. I switched her to a raw food diet and it solved the the problem.
There is much advice online about balancing a raw food diet.
Are you saying that for many years you were treating your unconditional love with chemicals even though there wasn't any health improvement?... Now, you're worry how much you've spent and not how much harm those chemicals have caused??....
We spent almost $400 Monday for our PomChi. Major surgery? Treatment for a chronic condition? Nope. Annual exam and immunizations. My husband almost fainted. I was so glad he was there to see just how much prices have gone up! 😮😱😮
THANKS SO MUCH. We can no longer afford to keep taking our dog to the vet and it turns out that your advice has helped him more than receded trips to the vet. So grateful.
Yes, meds for my dog are expensive, knowing I can give my dog some people medications helps a lot.
But please get them their vaccinations each year. Google low cost shot clinic, etc. Many times the Humane Society has affordable pet care.
Well, people try to withdraw from "people medications'' and resort to proper nutrition and natural herbs, etc for obvious reasons, but you somehow are exited to use '' people medications'' on your pet. SHAME ON YOU! @@fratzogmopars
But please, don't be a dummy and research graphene oxide. It is a component of every vaccine.@@sboswell9634
@@sboswell9634 I hope your vet has not convinced you that your dog must be vaccinated every year because it is only so that he can make money.
You can do a titer test instead so you don't over-vaccinate your dog. Many dogs get sick from vaccination.
Shopping list:
1) chlorhexidine topical flush (wound care)
2) Benadryl (allergies, itchy skin)
3) canesten cream (yeast / ear infections)
4) 1% topical hydrocortisone cream (itchy skin, ear infections, red inflamed skin)
5) polysporin for eyes (eye irritation/ infections)
6) pepsid (vomiting / regurgitation)
7) aspirin (pain killer)
Listen to vid for dosages.
thank you
I WOULDN'T USE ANY DRUGS FOR PETS, DON'T USE THEM FOR MYSELF AS THEY ALL MAKE ME SICK.

I love how the dog is enjoying the ear medication. He is like “oh yes! Right there, oh that feels good! 😂
My dog, Jack, has been scratching like crazy. He takes a flea, tick and worm pill, so I knew it wasn’t fleas. Your channel popped up a couple of days ago and had an answer! I bathed him in selson blue this morning, and his scratching is very minimal. Thank you so much!
He definitely made my Pooch feel better. And if he's better so am I ❤️❤️❤️
''You are what you eat". Feed your dog human grade, species appropriate nutrition instead of rendered euthanized animals wrapped in a fancy package with a pretty name on it. You won't have to worry about Jack's crazy scratching. But if you gonna continue using pesticides and neurotoxins (worm pills, flea, tick meds) on him, you'll have to deal with his neurological disorders / seizures for life. Btw, there are better topical treatments for follicular mites then ''head and shoulders'' ; -)

Canesten is found for internal and external use. Which one should I use for my puppy's ear yeast infection?
@@rshahriar16 I think it would be the external use if you are putting it in the ear. Internal would be if you are giving your dog to eat.
@@debbiewestmoreland2139 internal would be for something like a vaginal yeast infection
TY
Tylenol and Asprin are NOT one in the same. A lot of people think they are. Please do NOT use them interchangeably. Tylenol is highly toxic to animals... even in small amounts.
Tylenol is toxic to humans too
@Jm lol
@@MaryAnnCJ No kidding -- I'm recovering from serious liver damage due to acetominophen. BTW, my dog's name is Tullah!
@@susanforte7034 NAC is excellent for that!
@@susanforte7034 it's amazing when people mock and laugh when INFORMED/EDUCATED people try to warn others about dangerous OTC and prescribed meds....yet they've done NO RESEARCH themselves. My neighbor was prescribed ibuprofen twice a day for arthritis...couple years later she was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure. Doctors rarely do anything except prescribe pharmaceuticals. And people RARELY look at all the damage, including death, that many, if not most, Big Pharma garbage can do.
Ibuprofen causes kidney failure; yet people just keep taking it too. There are many NATURAL anti-inflammatory supplements that work better and don't do organ damage.
Many of us can't afford the outrageous cost charges at the vets office.. therefore without any choice .. often animals end up suffering.. an let me tell u.. as I know many animal owners understand... but its so so painful not to be able to afford tests an things of that nature for your pet. especially when possible misdiagnosing happens as in my case! after having ur over a decade. I don't even have words to describe the pain an sorrow I've experienced daily for the last year! This man at least eases that a little bit. Appreciate him having a heart to share his knowledge without charging ! It's really very disheartening when you cant even ask a question in an emergency situation to a online veterinarian without being charged.. not to mention the anxiety levels when frantically searching for a simple answer . they lead u to think your going to get it... then BAM! yeah if you have 50$ or whatever they charge! It's cruel an really sad that something as simple as finding a at home remedy has to be so traumatic! sorry to have rambled! Much love to to this veterinarian! 🙏🙏❤
So true! I do all our vet needs being a combat medic/medical specialist saves us a tremendous amount of money.
Amazingly refreshing to find this Veterinarian who gives free advice, sound remedies that doesn’t hurt the pocketbook ‼️‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Very Refreshing, Unique, Kind and Generous ‼️ thank you so much‼️👍🏽😇
I wish I would have found this channel years ago. My buddy Alex an Orange short hair cat had stomach issues his whole life puking so much that his teeth became rotten it was an everyday thing cleaning up his puke. I took him to a couple different veterinarians And they prescribed him a special diet that I bought from their offices. None of them worked. A year before he passed away a way I started giving him zantac that I had for my stomach I found on the Internet somewhere at the dosage and it actually worked for the 1st time he was not puking. Unfortunately he had heart issues and Got a straddle Thrombus which caused him to drag his back legs meowing in pain, and the vet said he was in much pain so I had to put him down. He made it 12 years but I regret his puking lowering his quality of life when the vets could just have gave him pepcid. Thank you for all you do for us and our companions dr Jones. I'm glad you told the vet assoc. To go p!ss up a rope! You have helped so many because of your bravery and compassion ❤️
I’m sorry for you cat just know your cat not sick anymore and you did the best you could and your cat was loved
Your cat sounds like he had a very difficult life health-wise. It sounds like you absolutely LOVED your cat, but at some point, if you are unable to give them a good quality life, we need to put them to sleep. Hopefully you'll adopt another one to fill that void.
I know It’s hard Poor cat
Very informative. I just spent almost $5K in vet bills for an allergy. My vet sent my dog to the hospital instead of sending us home with medicine. Thankfully I sprung my dog from the hospital and healed her at home.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
These videos are invaluable for dog owners. Lots of information packed into a few minutes presentation. Thank you so much!
Glad you think so!
Polysporin is no longer available. Do you have a replacement recommendation?@@VeterinarySecrets
You are an amazing person and thank you for having the backbone to go up against this system.
You are an id_ _ t!
Thank you for your tips, they are invaluable. I used tea bag tip on my puppy who had sticky eyes from birth, and cleared up after 5 days and never had a problem since. Saved me a massive vet bill.
It's surprising how well the tea bag method works. At the stables I used to ride at they had an appaloosa x cob that had a lot of pink skin around his eyes and he notoriously got conjunctivitis in summer.
Thankfully being british we always had tea bags on hand so it was common place to treat him daily through the summer to keep on top of it.
HOW to? What the Directions on the Tea Bag Tip? Do I just soak it First, then apply on the eye of my dog?
@@janephillips3627 I put two teabags in a cup of boiling water and leave to soak until the water has cooled down to room temperature. I then place the teabag over the eye and squeeze it so the tea runs into the eye {try gently pulling eyes open to help it get inside}. I will place the teabag over the eye gently for a few seconds so he doesn't shake it all out immediately. I will do this about three times a day until it has cleared up. Try making a new batch each time and keep it room temperature so its not so aggravating putting it into your animals eye. I have used this on kitten for conjunctivitis and for a reaction my dog had to a weed in our garden that caused his eye to swell shut and go very red.
Thank you for your sharing, it is no harm, why not try
Thankyou for your tips, great to know!
I was a vet tech 50 years ago and was told to only use baby aspirin on dogs… things have changed! Good tips to know!
Hi my friend how are you doing today
You are right! even human dosages are in many instances too much. Dogs respond outstanding to very low dosages, if folks are concerned always use lower than recommended.
He quietly sits there and gets all the meds the doc gives. So cute!
Thanks!💗
GOD BLESS YOU DR.ANDREW JONES YOU ARE THE REASON MY DOG CURED FROM SYSTIST WHO IS ALSO DIABETIC
I am getting a medical report from my vet to show for how long my female dog suffered for years from systitist and all they did was stuff my dog with anti-biotic for years, also i suffered with her she was peeing blood every where, so i followed your treatment of panacur and gave her every day with her food for 6 weeks, A MIRACLE MY DOG IS SYSTITIST FREE NO MORE ANTI-BIOTIC
NO MORE SUFFERING, GOD BLESS YOU DR., I PRAY FOR YOU EVERY DAY🙏🙏🙏❤🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍🐕

What is panacur?
I have saved this. Another good wound, rash, hot spots product is Bag Balm. It's antibacterial. It can be used on humans, cats and dogs.
It's thick and soothing too. I learned of this from my grandmother that used Bag Balm to prevent pressure bed sores on my grandfather who was bedridden after a major stroke. The doctors could not understand why he did not develop major sores! BTW, yup, this is still used on cows udders too! It comes in very small cans good for a first aid kit or larger cans.
Bach's Flower Remedy: for dogs that are scared of thunder storms or fire works. A few drops in the dog's mouth and it helps calm them down. It is good for humans too for the same reasons and for stress. My old GSD knew where I kept the Bach's and would only lead me to the bathroom where I kept it when he could hear the thunder storm BEFORE I could.
Calendula gel : soothing for itchy spots and it promotes healthy skin growth on those spots.
The reason bag balm came out with small cans is because mail carriers used it on there hands. That stuff is great thanks for reminding me.
Bag balm is great for chapped lips.
I have always kept bag balm in the cupboard. We kept our human cans & our udder cans separate for the most part on the small family cattle ranch! Lol Great to know on the other points!
Thanks for those great tips. Grew up on a ranch. Bag balm was a staple as much as flour..lol
My husband finally got our vet to write prescriptions for the dos. He goes to a pharmacy that has a pharmacy for dogs in the back. What a difference in price.😮
❤❤❤ Our old Veterinarian, now retired, would always send us to our local pharmacy when they could sell us products that were far less expensive than what he could.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
This really helps me so much. With these tips I will be able to afford another dog even in retirement. Your channel encourages people to adopt who previously worried about vet bills. You are making a tremendous contribution to increasing dog adoptions thank you
Oh such a good point
That’s true. Astronomical vet bills in this country is one of the major reasons I’ve never gotten a pet. We’ve made illness waaaaay too profitable for humans and animals in America so we can expect a lot more illness. It’s a very powerful industry and they are always looking to increase profits. Hence why we see ever more vaccines for humans and pets and also a lot more chronic illness than ever before. I remember the days when everyone wasn’t so damn allergic to absolutely everything.
Asprin no to cats. Or dogs
@@deborahbarry8458 0
So true!
Yes had my golden retriever bitten by a copperhead one evening. I called the vet hysterical we drove in from the country very very fast and he gave her Benadryl 25 mg! I couldn't believe such an over-the-counter medication could help a dog that much. I've been bitten by copperhead I mean wanted to die but not my dog but the next morning she got off the couch and I was up with her all night long like good hysterical mother and she was absolutely fine. Just make sure you check with your vet before you give them any type of human medication.
The thing about Benadryl you can give to dogs to calm them down but the wrong dose will do the opposite, that happened to me with my Dobermans 😳
I don’t know if you answer specific questions but here goes. My 60-70 pound mixed pit had a brief encounter with a neighbors dog that wondered up on our property. Except for a very brief encounter with each other it was mostly noise. We checked both dogs over and did not see any injuries or blood. The next day our dog started limping and would not put her back left leg down for a few minutes. We checked her over looking for breaks or puncture marks nothing. We then gently messaged and stretched the leg, nothing. With our limited knowledge we decided maybe it was just sprained. For a week we would not take her out to play ball and she was NOT happy. Her leg seemed to get better. After a week we finally started exercising her again. She is back to limping. At this point is an expensive X-ray my only option. Thanks so much, a new subscriber..😉
It could be the hip? Have you tried heat or ice packs? RICE: Rest, Ice, (Compression is probably out, though), Elevation (or at least have them lay on the opposite side). When I'm in doubt, I go with the same thing I'd do for myself (but always research to see if meds are contraindicated).
@@tammyrawdon3587 thanks so much for the advice. It has been almost 4 weeks and she has not limped for the last 3 days. It is killing her not to go out to play ball etc. I’m still giving it another 3-4 days in hopes of not re-injuring it. Crossed fingers. Again very kind of you to respond..☺️
@Lovbeinamom No problem, the only reason that I come here during my downtime (read: bad weather) is to use my 40yrs of experience in 'all things animal' to help others understand animals better & learn how to care for our beloved animal companions. And I know that most of these OPs don't answer most questions, esp if they're professionals or famous like Jackson Galaxy.
The hip is very often something that people don't think of when they limp 😺👍
Your definitely the most down to Earth professional pragmatic veterinarian on UTUBE. ❤🇨🇦
Just love all your tips and advice to pet parents. They are all effective and useful. Since vet visits are so pricey, the medications that you recommend are so helpful and save us money. I have 4 dogs and vet visits are pain in my pocket. More power and God bless your heart.
Is this guy a vet?
Yes
I can attest to the efficacy of everything Dr Jones recommends except aspirin, which I never tried. Before we had a vet in the tropics, I relied on a Swedish registered nurse for tips on dog ER care. I always flushed wounds with clear water and then some iodine. The canestan or equivalent does work for ear infections, as does Benadryl or any antihistamine for itchy skin. Just ensure you know the dosage. When we got our beloved vet (US schooled), he used the same products.
Pet "parents"???🙄
Yes Jet Gorgon I AGREE with you 100%. Tried 'Antifungal Cream' for my Dogs ears (rub on the outside) and works GREAT. She doesn't get Ear infections anymore as long as I place the cream on the outside of her ear. (I'm in America.)
One of your advice from many is to use coconut oil for regrowth of hair in skin infection area and it has worked like magic everytime. Thank you so much for helping us
Coconut oil also kills fleas.
My pets vet comes to my house. What I like about her the most is she will always try a natural alternative before prescribing medications.
WOW!!! You are BLESSED!!!
I just saved this video to my Apple Notes and forwarded this to all my dog friends.
This was generous and helpful and greatly serves animals bc not everyone can afford vet visits for these relatively minor but common issues which have a notable impact on a dogs quality of life. Another viewer made the point that they feel more confident and equipped to adopt a pet now (cost related to frequent vet bills had them hesitating). This type of video could lead to more pet adoptions, which serve animals and humans in innumerable ways. So, for myself and all others this serves and will influence - four legged and two legged - thank you!! 🙏🏼
Perfectly summed up. Vet charges are so high and videos like this need to be shared. I know we all love our dog etc, but we are getting priced off the scale and all because we love them.
If your animal is sick you better can afford a vet visit, or otherwise do not have someone who needs help when you can't provide it. How selfish and irresponsible to let the animal suffer.
A*M*A*Z*I*N*G - well needed tips for dog owners in the U.K. at the moment, cost of living is going so high that people cannot afford the vets so this really helps, thank you 🙏 so much
happy to help Kathryn. :)
America has gotten Absurd with HIGH Prices for EVERYTHING since we have a LEFT Progressive Democrat President and Administration and CONGRESS! I can hardly take care of my little dog and I put HER First BEFORE myself. Dr. Jones has saved me LOTS of money. IT WORKS!!!!!
👍I totally agree with you Kathryn I also live in the UK and previously I paid my dog's Insurance monthly with Pets at Home which is supposedly the one with most coverage but lately as increased so much that I had to cancel it and now I have to treat him for an infection he has in the mouth. In this channel I have found help and it is good. Regards ☺👋
Are all of these products available in UK.often when I'm after things for myself that I've seen on UA-cam I cant get them and I'm told oh that'll be available only in u.s.
I just found your channel and I am thrilled!!! Where we live it can be extremely difficult to get your pet in for an emergency situation! Thank you for sharing!
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now..
The more I do my own. research the more I am finding how common it is to NEVER get a straight forward answer. I have asked questions that literally get ignored or somehow the topic changes. It’s really bizarre.
I find these videos extremely helpful so thank you so much.
Wow, your videos are so helpful and selfless of you. I'm so happy to see a vet that has the genuine love for animals that they should have, and overall just wants to see healthy animals instead of gouging each patient just because they can. Thousands of happy tails around the world wagging because of you! Thank you so very much for helping me taking better care of my children.
You think some human doctors would be like that too, but they're going to have to go back to school to learn real medicine so that people can get well instead of staying on medication that's killing them!
GENUINE IS THE TRUE KEY WORD HERE....AND KIND LOVING COMPASSION....
You left out Kaopectate for diarrhea and Claritin for allergies. Also, we had a dog with chronic ear infections from yeast and my vet told me to use Monistat suppositories in his ears because they melt into the ear, you don’t have to massage it down into the ear. and it killed the yeast in a single dose. Worked every time. 1/2 of a suppository in each ear. You just have to keep the doggo from shaking his head until it’s all melted down into the ear. About three minutes.
Only problem is they no longer make traditional kaopectate with kaolin and pectin for ingredients. Kaopectate is still the same name but the ingredients are now the same as Pepto bismal. They just quietly did a switch of ingredients. If you search you can find the original ingredients in other named products made for pets.
Unfortunately they don’t sell kaopectate in Canada any more 😢
Imodium works for diarrhea. Just make sure it’s the right colour.
If there is blood or the colour of the poop is off…..then go see the Dr.
@@minnieg.4835 You are absolutely right. You can still get kaolin pectin from feed stores and online. It does not have the bismuth like kaopectate has which is harmful to animals.
Make sure you use kaolin pectin, NOT otc Kaopectate.
I appreciate you so much and echo every positive comment in this community! Thank you for sharing your wisdom as we navigate these troublesome times with our amazing four legged friends ❤🐾
My parents had a dog who had a degloving accident. The vet was able to save all but a 3x12 inch patch of skin. Then he required daily dressing changes until the new skin grew. Being a nurse, I asked what the dressing protocol would be and could I do it at home. It consisted of dumping regular white sugar onto the wound, applying a dressing (I used a diaper) and wrapping it (I used vet wrap) to keep the sugar and diaper in place. In six weeks, he was totally healed.

Your advice was incredibly helpful on the treatment of eyelid tumors for dogs. The local vet wanted over $500. to remove it. Thankfully after following your instructions and gentle noninvasive procedure, his eyelid tumor is virtually gone.
Shoot, I missed this video, what is the treatment or link?
WOW 🙀😳
O, Bless You both!!! YAAAAY!!!!
My doggie has one of these. .. i would love to get more info.. could you send me the link please
As someone who volunteers with a cat rescue a list of home meds for cat/cat rescues would be appreciated. If there's anywhere that you could suggest to source quality meds that would be normally only be purchased after seeing a vet, it would also be appreciated. Thank you for your videos, I've learned so much!
look for some vet supply websites there are a number. People should ask their vets to demonstrate how to give your dog yearly vaccines. They along with (de) wormers are available online and are much cheaper.
My ex-husband’s grandmother would give her cat an aspirin, because the cat “looked like he had a headache “. The cat died.
I can’t stress this enough! Tractor supply Has most medications and prescription medications! Please do your research first so you don’t do more harm than good!
@@gringa978 Tractor Supply has pet scrips? I will have to check them out. Most vets here will not write scrips, they like to buy the meds wholesale and charge retail and ad a script charge to boot.
@@limpingoatfarm sad isn't it that vets and Dr's will guard their profits to the point of being wicked. I call it wicked because people and pets suffer or even die because.of the inability to pay for the now very expensive vet and Dr bills and they didn't have to.
1. Chlorhexidine topical flush surgical scrub for wounds
2. Benadryl for itchy skin or hives; 1 milligram per pound of the animal 2-3 X’s per day.
Example 25 lbs. dog 2 tabs
3. Chlorotrimezole cream for ear infections example: Malassezia or yeast infections
Clotrimazole, also for vaginal cream, ringworm, sweat rash, or athlete’s foot cream. To use the product in the ear, tilt the animals head and place a small amount in the ear that is infected, and rub at the base of the ear near the head and message the area.
4. Hydrocortisone cream also works well in the ear.
5. Polysporn anti-bacterial ingredients are: bacitracin zinc and polymyxin B sulfate for example styes and pink eyes. Add 1-2 drops in the eye this is a sterile product suitable for eyes.
6. Pepsin acid production if animal is vomiting. 2.5 milligrams for 10 lbs. of body weight.
7. Aspirin for pain. Assuming the animal does not have liver or kidney disease. Aspirin is a pain reliever.
This is for information purposes only, I am not a doctor nor do I play one. I used the transcript to get the information. Do your own research!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was taking screenshots & going to write it out, but you saved me (& my injured hand) so much trouble 👏😻👍
Last Friday I took my chihuahua to vet. I know she have allergies on her pows Ear infection . Si went for annual check. she said my dog have skin Infection .
For the regular annual check ear infection medication $265.00 I paid that. But if I want to have de skin infection medication and ear infection shots all together they want $600.00
So I came to this channel I clean her paws with the solution he said . Vinegar coconut oil lavender oil. And she is cured I also put castor oil on her outside ears she is cure.
Thanks dr you are awesome.
Benadryl is also good to help with car sickness in dogs. I had a dog years ago that had car sickness. The vet recommended Benadryl. Worked like a champ.
My Bella has pancreatitis. The pepcid helps so much when she has an episode. It's important to note to make sure it's regular allergy meds or benadryl. Nothing with "D". Example Claritn D.
I bought some Benadryl especially for dogs and it’s exactly the same as my Benadryl I take for my allergies.
Wow! Had no idea there were human meds that dogs could have - SO interesting! Thanks for this!
The human meds were tested on animals first.
Vitamins and asprin for fever
Yes they won't tell you that but my vet did👍🏻🙂 she gave me a list of what antihistamines tablets I could give my fur babies they always has skin irritations on their skin and it really cleared it up I was so wrapped she told me that information .
We used a lot of human meds in vet practice in the Philippines, dosage adjusted of course.
Too bad your vet didn't eliminate a problem but recommended bs symptom suppression. Keep in mind your dog does not suffers from skin irritation because he's in need of antihistamines. (Here's your out of charge hint) Your dog skin disorders are due to wrong diet!... Skin is the largest detox organ of the body. Educate your vet, and charge him/her for it, right DR. Jones?...@@ginapafitis1966
Absolutely love the way the dog is hanging on every word.... 🐾❤
My 15 year old lab took 3 Benadryl every night at bedtime right up until she passed. It helped her tremendously with her arthritis and helped her sleep. My vet was the one that told me about this.
Yup...my chiweenie will scratch all night long if sge doesn't get her benadryl. I was going to try treating her with the pet lab chewables for their allergies..until I found out it would cost me $40 a month. Just don't have that kind of money.
@@bearball49 I agree, owning a pet is a huge expense especially if we want to take care of them properly. Fortunately my vet is a good friend and would give me alternatives that worked just as well.
Love this video. Thank you so much. When mentioning aspirin I think it's important to specify aspirin ONLY since probably a lot of people will equate Tylenol, ibuprofen and/or naproxen with aspirin, and I think that would be a very bad thing for the dog.
Thanks for this!! I have horses and dogs and use these remedies for both! People are often times reluctant to go to the vet because of the cost, when there are things that can be treated at home without the big cost. That way neither the dog nor the owner has to suffer unnecessarily!
I had one of the best Vets!! He loved animals and helped them and people!! He would tell pepple whst to do and what meds could be used from O.T.C.!! If you had mutiply pups or dogs, hed sell you bulk meds. ❤
Awesome, thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Have to admit, one of the better pet related advice channels out there. Such an awesome resource of information you provide - greatly appreciated!
40 years ago my dad told an old vet that our dog would freak out during thunderstorms or loud fireworks. He told him to give the dog a half bottle of beer (6 oz.) and it will help him “calm” down. He did and it didn’t hurt the dog. It did seem to help him settle down.
Thats not good advice
In the UK we're struggling for tge price of living.
People aren't taking their dogs for treatment and I'm seriously guts me..
It's something like £40 just to put dog on table!!!
I spent some time in Romainia. Their dog had a stroke. I was weeping saying we need to put the dog down you cant let him suffer.
For 3 days my partner picked up the vet.gave the dog 3 injections. Spent a few hours chatting and smoking in the garden. 3rd day showed him how to give jabs.. £60!!! 3 days!!
FFS!
I've heard in the UK they have a handover telling them which products to push..
I work in care. I see not all carers should be carers.
I'm massive about animal rights.
I couldn't work in it because I couldn't watch some looser walk away with a dog that isn't treated well..
So bless you for this. Thankyou and I'll share massively. X
Great to see a vet offering practical advice rather than making money
Beautiful Tula assisting ❤ Every time I watch something from your channel I feel a weight lifting off my shoulders. I have, many times now, used various of your remedies with high levels of success, so a big huge thank you for these easy to get remedies and especially for info on amount to give. You're just awesome doc!!!
I love the way the dog is co operating with the demonstration. What a trooper!!!!!
Why would a dog that is over 2years old, all of a sudden start peeing on the couch?
Thank you so much for this. Subscribed!
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
My dog once got infection on his lip. Went to the vet and he recommend surgery and overnight stays that will cost me about 1500 dollars. I took my dog home as I cannot afford the bill. Went home, gently squeeze the pus out myself as it's already ready to pop. Did it until all the pus is drained. Disinfected the wound with iodine, then I opened one capsule of a broadspectrum antibiotic I have onto the wound. He recovered fully and continue to be a happy dog. I just wish vets stopped charging extraordinary amount of money for pets. This vet can easily offer to do the same as I did with lesser cost, -- and my dog would be able to receive a much safer treatment at a reasonable cost. Thank you Dr. Jonas for the much useful tips. Wish more vets are like you -- care more about the animals than making themselves rich.
Wow ! My fur baby, 80lbs. Pit bull, gets lots of yeast at season changes. These are great tips to not only relieve his ear injections but are things that I already have in my home. Some I knew but others didn't have a clue. So we both thank you !!!
Same with my 93lb Red nose❤❤❤
thank you so much ! I already use some of these ,boy is this valuable stuff.I have never seen the otc eye drops in my area,so I'll have to search. I have been a rescuer of dogs and cats for 30+ years and the vet bills can get rough esp now I am retired.
thanks for posting this.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
I am so thankful I found this Vet he has thought me so much and how to care for my dogs. I have 7 dogs and I have had to spent on unnecessary vet visits. Thank you so much Dr. For all that you do.
Omg thank you! I have spent £400+ at the vets for the last year, trying to sort out my dogs ear infections, and its not worked! I even have clotrimazole in my med cabinet! And as for the aspirin, this will save me a fortune in vets fees and medicines that make my dog sick! 💚
For my older dog's aches and pains I mix Tumeric, with a little pepper in it, in his food. Works like a charm.
Thanks for the TIP, Eileen!!!!
Smart dog mom!!
I love how the dog loves getting his ear rubbed and he even started licking him so he could do the other side. He definitely wanted him to do the other side
You are such a blessing! Vets get over on us dog parents! I always look for over the counter! Thank you🙏🏼
You are always so helpful and informative! Can you please do a video on safe human medications for cats next?
Did you search his 100s of videos before you ask?
@@americanwoman8947 I posted that comment 10 months ago. Before he made the cat one. I have watched his many cat videos he has posted since this comment was made.
Tula is a darling and so patient. Why hasn't this info been available to pet parents before? Many are hard-pressed to afford meds for their dogs.
My labrador now sadly passed on at the age of fourteen was given Tramadol in his last year or so. He had a few joint aches and was a liable to panic or hide for no reason. I was surprised when the veterinarian suggested Tramadol but it was very effective. Just one capsule a day made a huge difference to him. He was well over fourteen when we had to call it a day he and is much missed. Up until his last couple of years he had been extremely active.
My dog got kennel cough and was bringing up blood because she was coughing so much and after a chest x-ray and four weeks on antibiotics, I decided to try her on children's cough mixture. Within 24 hours there was a big improvement, 48 hours nearly better, 72 hours She was running around like a young puppy again and not the six-year-old she was at the time. I am very lucky because my vet does everything he can to quietly tell me about cheaper options and when I had to put her to sleep many years later as an old dog, he cried along with me. It really made me see that it wasn't just a job to him
Man thank you for all you do and being a reliable source of trustworthy information. I love the part about the ear infections! I have a frenchy who has one.ear that always causes him problems and myself lots of 💰 this last time the vet wanted $770.00 for his ear infection up from the normal $500
🙄 I don't want anything for free but they constantly want to do special testing even the we have in the past several times I wish they could just give me the meds and realize that it's better then nothing instead of refusing to do anything without special tests.
Change your dogs food.
Lacey I had a cavalier similar issue and I found no winged fowl or any grains really helped kept him red meat beef rabbit venison ( we have hunters locally who would always share) just a suggestion
Your channel is so helpful, especially for those of us living in rural areas with very limited, if any access to vets. Now If there was only a similar resource for large animal veterinary support 😉
Omg this is so helpful thank you doc
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful , thanks much and more power to you !
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
I’m so happy that you shared this with us. Thank you. I really needed this for my dog.
just found your channel. this information is INVALUABLE! i work at a grooming, daycare and boarding facility. we see all kinds of funky stuff so we have specialty shampoos and conditioners etc for different skin types and conditions. it’s really nice to have a better understanding of what i am seeing, why i am seeing it, and what is going to help treat it while making the dogs more comfortable. and then be able to communicate this with the owners.
Thank you for being a real person!
My pleasure!
I got quoted $100 to remove my sigs rear dewclaws. I figured out I could buy 25 grams of pure lidocaine for $20. So I bought everything needed online for about $80.
I used saline to compound my own lidocaine solution. I sedated my dog with Benadryl for the injection pain mostly. She didn’t like the injection at all. I waited 10 minutes. Tested her reflex’s (they were dead). I was rather scared cutting off my dogs little vestigial toe. However the scalpel I bought for $7 took em off quick. I plugged the artery with sterile syptic powder and put her on 3 days of antibiotics. There’s no evidence she ever had em.
Later my older dog was dying. She would get awful cramps screaming her head off. The lidocaine injection stopped it let her sleep in peace (‘For her final days).
I can’t stress enough how much I believe in self care for simple stuff (if your up for it).
My dog have allergies, and she gets bumps all over her body But we thank you for your help ❤❤❤
Try raw goats milk. it heals from the gut biome being restored. No antibiotics unless absolutely needed.
Cetirizin (Zyrtec) has worked wonders for my cat. Without it, in Austin her eosinophilic granuloma eats away at her lip area, causing ulcers, because she is allergic to pretty much all grasses, and Austin has pretty much all the grasses. Doc told me years ago, just give her a half tablet a day and she’s been fine in Austin since. Dosing is important.
Your pooch is precious! So sweet and well behaved
Love it thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us
You are so welcome
Thank you for being of service to humanity and to these wonderful animals.❤
This is terribly helpful, valuable & so useful. I rescue. I will not deny an animal a visit to the vet, but they’ll take my 401K (if I had one) and my first born male child to pay for 1/2 an aspirin. Many thanks & appreciation. ♥️🙏🏻👏
Thank you very much indeed.
❤❤

I appreciate that! 🙏
