The Many Uses Of Colloidal Silver For Your Pet

Whether you are looking for a natural health supplement, a preventative, or a good way to boost your dog or cat’s immunity and natural resistance to disease, colloidal silver for dogs, cats and all pets is the affordable way to treat your pet’s infections and illnesses, or deal with other healing concerns.  

Colloidal silver is an incredibly powerful antimicrobial. Silver is both effective and safe to use against bacteria, fungi and viruses because it suffocates the undesirable microbes without harming the living tissue of the animal.

Colloidal Silver can be an inexpensive alternative to drugs like antibiotics and steroids.

What is Colloidal Silver?

Colloidal silver is a liquid antibiotic, anti-viral and anti-fungal that has been touted as treating and preventing an assortment of conditions in both humans and animals. Colloidal silver, as opposed to just plain silver, means that submicroscopic silver particles are suspended in a liquid base. Because the silver particles are so tiny, they are thought to penetrate cells and kill pathogens.

Colloidal Silver tastes almost like pure water with just a slight mineral taste, so it is easily administered orally to rabbits, goats, dogs, cats, horses, birds, ferrets, people, and other beings. Colloidal silver can be administered orally, in the eyes (for eye allergies, conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc.), in the nose (for sinusitis), sprayed on wounds, it doesn’t sting or burn, via IV, Subcue, in the ears, and nebulized into the lungs. There is no natural antibiotic alternative like it for ease of administration and effectiveness. And no traditional antibiotic comes close to the effectiveness of Colloidal Silver.

Colloidal Silver is known to kill over 650 known pathogens – viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoan. Colloidal silver has been in use for thousands of years.

Ways to Use Colloidal Silver

Infection
Since colloidal silver is an all-around pathogen fighter, it’s a great one to keep in your medicine cabinet for any disease – whether it’s bacterial, fungal (yeast!) or viral in nature (it can even be used to help treat parvovirus). Plus, it can be used as a preventative when exposure to sick people or animals is unavoidable and as a regular household cleaner to disinfect surfaces and areas.

Skin
Colloidal silver can also be used topically for skin infections like ringworm, wounds and burns. It is soothing and repairs tissue damage.

Ears
For those unfortunate dogs suffering from ear infections, colloidal silver might offer some relief. The liquid can be dropped directly into the ears to help fight off bacteria and yeast.

Eyes
Colloidal silver can also help treat eye problems like infections, allergies, inflammation and tear staining. Because it doesn’t sting, it can be dropped directly into the eyes.

Lungs
Colloidal silver has to be one of the most versatile natural immune system boosters – not only can it be used in an incredibly sensitive area such as the eyes, but it can be turned into mist with a nebulizer and used to treat respiratory problems like asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia.

How to Use
Now that you know some of the major conditions colloidal silver can help, it’s time to learn how exactly this multitasking liquid can be used:

Oral: A general guideline for oral dosing is five to 10 drops, two to three times per day. Many conditions are helped by both oral and direct application (for instance, use as ear drops AND orally). Because it basically tastes like water, oral dosing shouldn’t be a problem.

Topical: As a wound cleaner, use to clean out affected area with a cotton swab. For skin conditions, spray onto area or use as a compress several times a day.

Ears: Apply a few drops daily into affected ear or ears for up to 10 days.

Eyes: Apply a drop three times a day into the affected eye or eyes.

Inhalant: Use nebulizer with colloidal silver at least three times daily for at least 15 minutes each time.

Note: Colloidal silver works just like an antibiotic, except without real negative effects. But there is one – it will reduce the natural beneficial flora in the gut as regular antibiotics do. So it’s important to follow up with probiotics and prebiotics to help build up the good bacteria back to normal levels in your dog.
