ozonated olive oil, ozone

[Rosie]

I have treated one of our rats with ozonated olive oil when she developed an abscess on her cheek.  I applied this a few times and over night the (about 5mm large) node was gone.  It came back moths later and the ozonated olive oil worked again.

Ozonated olive oil is cool.  Becasue it is a natural anti-biotic that can be ingested (I made sure to get extra virgin olive oil as base) and is even given orally for therapeutic purposes. 

Ozone gas is given to treat cancer (given into the rectum) and arthritis (injected into affected joints). 

The oil smells for a while so sensitive animals might be offended when you apply the oil, but the smell dissipates pretty soon (within an hour for my nose).

I have ozonated olive oil in the fridge and share it with friends if their anmals can need it (dog, red itchy spot - it helped too).  It lasts 'forever' in the fridge. 

I know 1st or 2nd hand that the oil helps with fungi (nails) and viruses (herpes) and other skin problems.

I just read a nice long topic on using ozonated olive oil on another forum, specifically to treat idiopathic fur chewing in dogs and cats.  Many people are using olive oil to treat both the chewing problem and the thinning of the fur problem, rather than using any prescription drug, very successfully.  Just rubbing the oil on the areas where the pet has chewed, seems to help both the fur grow back and also stops the pet from chewing in the first place by digesting the oils.

I will have to try that next time Misty gets itchy and licks her paws. Doesn't happen very often but this is good to know.
