ANIMAL CARE
Gary Young wrote this several years ago:
I have raised animals all my life and presently have several miniature horses as well as four teams of draft horses. I also have pygmy goats, barbadoes sheep and llamas at my ranch where I reside. On my 1300 acre herb farm at Whispering Springs in Mona, Utah, I have an animal petting zoo with Bactrian camels. zeeboos from Africa(miniature Bhramas), Watusi cows and bulls, Walleroos(miniature kangaroos), llamas, buffalos, miniature donkeys, as well as horses and goats. As you can see we have a wide variety of animals.
We have used the oils extensively on many of the animals and are continually making discoveries. The animals respond extremely well and we feel they have benefited greatly. In my experience, I have found that animals respond to essential oils much the same as humans. Animals are not as sensitive to the phenol and sesquiterpene constituents so they can be applied "neet" or full strength. One needs only to determine which oils are applicable to the situation and then apply a few drops 3-4 times daily.
The amount for small animals, like cats and dogs is like the application
for a child: 3-4 drops each time applied. For larger animals, like large
dogs apply 6-7 drops, for horses, apply 15-20 drops.
After applying the oils, I have found it beneficial to cover the open wound
with Rose ointment, which keeps the skin soft and helps promote the healing. I have applied the oils in the following ways:
1. Apply on their paws where absorption is very fast.
2. On cloven hoofed animals, apply on the auricular points of the ears and/or spine or both.
3. Underneath the top lip on the gums and on the tongue.
4. Sprinkle a few drops on the spine and then massage into the skin, just
like with humans. For various problems I have experimented with the
following oils:
1. Strangle in horses, I used a combination of the oil blends Exodus II and
Melrose together.(4 parts Exodus II to 1 part Melrose.)
2. Ear mites in cats and dogs- purification and peppermint.
3. Ticks and fleas- Tansy and tansy floral water.
4. Tumors- all animals- Frankincense and lavender mixed together,
frankincense and clove mixed together.
5. Worms and parasites- all animals- Paraway and Di-tone.
6. Open wounds- all animals-Melrose, Helichrysum and gentle care Rose
Ointment.
7. Trauma- all animals- Trauma Life, Valor, Peace & calming, Melissa,
rosewood, lavender, valerian, and chamomile.
8. Bones- all animals- PanAway, birch(now wintergreen), lemongrass and
spruce.
9. Nervous anxiety with horses,- Valor, Trauma Life, geranium, lavender and valerian.
10. Saddle sores- Melrose and Rose ointment.
11. Mineral deficiencies- Mineral Essence( liquid tincture, taken internally)
may help meet the animals needs and when met, they will quit chewing on the furniture and other undesirable things.
12. Tissue repair and healing directly on wound- Melrose.
13. May help with pain and stop bleeding- Helichrysum.
14. Healing of wounds and abrasions- Rose Ointment.

“This weekend I noticed that my Dalmatian was having a hard time with her stools. they were hard like rocks. I was not sure what to use for her. There has been a lot said about lemon lately. So before I went to work today I put about 3 drops of Cel--lite magic on her tummy. She likes being oiled anyway. She is having no problems now. She was waiting by the door when I came home. Have A Great Week.”

“We showed this Ointment to a neighbor with animals and they really liked it. A few days later their black lab injured her paw splitting the nail. They called to see if they could try this ointment on "Millie" until they could get her to the vet. When Merrill saw the injury he said, "This will most likely need more help than the ointment will provide." After rubbing the ointment around Millie's wound she calmed right down. They applied the ointment to both of the front paws and wrapped the injured leg with an ace bandage.
A few days later we received this note by email from our neighbor. "Millie's toe is doing great. It does not seem to be bothering her at all, and she is healing well. She is letting me look at it without a lot of resistance, so I know that the animal scents ointment has been doing a great job. Thanks for letting us use it to help her.
A trip to the vet wasn't necessary and they were grateful not to have that extra expense! “
