We had Elsie to the ER last night, and we've been giving her colloidal silver for days. Today, she's had several doses, and a little while ago, she sneezed *a lot* and then went down to use the litter tray. She didn't fall over (like she did earlier), so I'm hoping that that, and a couple of other things we've got into her (liquified food as well) will help.

My mother has been taking a liquid extract (essiac) for a condition of her own, as well. I was just wondering if anyone else had used it. The last and only time that I have, was with our dog in 2002, who then developed vestibular disease and ended up seeming senile (after bumping her head and having another bout of the disease as she was getting over the first bout). I was so tired that I hadn't been holding her as she walked through the door, so that was my fault. :/ I'd been giving her the essiac because of several lumps she had on her, that were most likely fatty tissue, but I was concerned, and the vets were only saying, "she's an old dog. what do you want me to do?" over the lumps and the recovery from vestibular disease.
