The ABC Homeopathy Forum
doggie with canine pyoderma "staphylococcus"
We have a 3 year old lab - happy healthy in every way - calm, sweet, typically wonderful. {And we have another pooch - 4 year old Vizla - without this problem]Matilda has this staph infection that occurs between her toes. Looks like a fox tail at first then gets really bloody - the only thing that 'heals' this - is antibiotic shots - 'staphycocculus Aureus Phage Lysate'
We - being pretty holistic people - really wish we had alternative way to help her.
Any thoughts?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Consider trying Grapefruit seed extract (GSE), available at any health food store. It can be taken internally as well as applied externally to combat staph infections, however it is very potent and bitter so always should be diluted with water or in food. Approx 12 drops every 12 hours mixed in some soft dog food, and 10 drops or so mixed in a little water and sprayed between the toes several times a day.
What also works equally well is apple cider vinegar. That's apple cider VINEGAR, not just apple cider. It's available at any health food store also. It can be sprayed, undiluted between the toes and allowed to dry. Apply as needed.Several or more times a day. Non-toxic if licked. It can also be added to the drinking water, a capful or so, or a tablespoon or two added to some canned dog food.
