[Gpdd] [GPDD] Health - Some simple treatments

[Susi Eastin]

Just some thoughts on some simple treatments that have
  worked for us here. For various skin and hair problems, 
  and just in general, we use Head & Shoulders shampoo
  (or the generic equivalent). There is an ingredient in it 
  that is good for the scalp, and has always helped to
  calm irritated skin and itching.  For a natural approach
  to getting rid of pests, try neem oil, from a health food
  store (we have to order it). For foot irritations and any
  fungal type infections, it has helped to rub some vaseline
  over it - I think it basically coats it so it kills it out.
  In fact, I've actually soaked piggie feet in warm epsom
  salts water with great success, followed by rubbing on
  the vaseline. Talk about spoiled piggies!
  One little tip I've recently discovered - on occasion, when
  allergies arise, I give 1/4 tablet (generic Chlortrimeton)
  dissolved in water, with just a bit of vit C added. I've found
  it dissolves much quicker in warm water. They enjoy it so
  much they swish it around in their little mouths a few
  minutes, looks like they're chewing it! And will not take
  another bit until they're through savoring the first!
