Calc Fluor for prolapse? How does that work? I take it now, plus Calc phos and Silicea for my bones. I have used Calc fluoride to dissolve a bone spur before. Homeopathy remedies are amazing.

My ewe Specks had a hard birth yesterday, at least 3 weeks early and dead baby. I have a friend in school to become a homeopathic healer, she’s 1 year away from graduating. I need to ask her what remedy whole help Specks. Thanks for nudging my brain on this.

I hate tapeworms!

Natural sheep care, who wrote that book?

Pumpkin seed and mango seed both help....also garlic, oregano & wormwood. I keep oregano oil to use in chicken water or mix onto feed. It's an amazing herb, easy to grow.
Click to expand...
Mango seed? That's a ginorm seed. Do you break it up or crush it? Coming from the land of we grow those around here.
Now I'm wondering what else is there that is good for them. So much I don't know, so much to learn (always learning).
And @KodeshAcres - I'm now checking out that book Natural Sheep Care. Thx!

Oops ..meant papaya 😳. Too many fruits! But if you have these trees, dry & crush that seed...

It's expensive. Fruits are $1.08 a# at WM. Big at 4-5# ea....the fruits contains some of the chems found more concentrated in seed. Same with pumpkin.

I grow comfrey, another maligned "weed" grown & used for decades in Europe. Hey, look at these items --- notice that big pharma cannot patent & make $$$ from these.
