What support can you give your pet following dental extractions....
When teeth are removed under a general anaesthetic, the body first has to cope with the:
- drugs used
- bacteria and other microorganisms which enter the bloodstream at the extraction site(s) as surgery is carried out, and also afterwards until the gums and other tissues are fully healed
Natural support during the post-operative period (7 - 14 days) helps to ensure a rapid return to full health. This can be provided as follows:
- Give 2 - 3 drops of Vince The Vet Joints plus Recuperation 3 times daily starting 48 hours beforehand if possible, and continuing for 2 weeks after surgery. This soothes sore gums, periodontal structures and bone, and aids tissue regeneration and repair. The remedy can then be used whenever an injury, accident or musculoskeletal issue of any kind occurs.
- Alongside the above remedy, also give 2 -3 drops of Vince The Vet Detoxification Support 3 times daily for 2 weeks (both remedies can be given on the same teaspoon of fresh food) and then repeat after an interval of 2 weeks. This aids the elimination of any toxins / drug residues from the body. After that, it can be given for the first 7 days each month as part of a natural worm control / detoxification regime.
- It also highly beneficial to give Vince The Vet Immunity to helps the body's natural defences cope successfully with any pathogenic microbes entering the bloodstream during dentistry, so that they don't become established in the internal organs, on heart valves or in joints where they can cause infection. It is good to give Immunity long term to support a strong, healthy, balanced immune system which is crucial for optimum health. Vince the Vet's Immunity is good to give lifelong, as a research study around 13 years ago, showed that one of the ingredients (powdered whole plant E.purpurea) given to mice from weaning to late middle age significantly increased lifespan and reduced the risk of cancer.
Want a simple and effective natural toothpaste?
Here is a great tip from Vince the Vet to make a great toothpaste.
Mix 1/4 teaspoon of Vince The Vet Immunity to 1 teaspoon of pure, organic, cold-pressed, virgin coconut oil and apply to your pet's gums once daily, using a gloved finger or soft toothbrush.
Alternatively spread over:
- a natural chew
- a raw bone (a chicken wing / rib / chicken or turkey foot, for example, given under supervision)
- a favourite, natural toy
and allow your pet to chew on this for 5 - 10 minutes daily.
- The organic kelp in Vince the Vet Immunity has a cleansing action. The Echinacea purpurea helps the oral immune system cope successfully with microbes that contribute to the formation of plaque, periodontal disease and other health problems, including:
- heart murmurs (as a result of infection of the heart valves)
- kidney disease
- septic arthritis - The coconut oil has natural antiseptic properties.
Regular use of this combination, significantly aids dental hygiene.
NB: A jarful of the toothpaste can be made up in advance (using the proportions above) and kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
