Hi everybody....

If you have an older animal that is breathing very heavy during the summer months, just crank down your A/C a degree or two and it may help them breathe better.....Take care of your loved ones..... just a thought!!!

Heart and Repiratory Tonic

During these hot summer months, if you find that your older dog is breathing and panting a lot just do the above and perhaps this old folks remedy (below) may help them til it gets cooler.

Make an infusion of rosemary. To do this, warm 2 cups of water in a pot until it starts to boil; then add 4 spriges of rosemary (removing the spines from the branch) into this hot water; cover and let steep for 15-20 minutes. Remove all spines and put this infusion of rosemary into an amber glass bottle and store in the refrig. Once per day give your animal 1 tbls of this infusion plus 1 teas of organic honey. You can warm them together, but don't heat over 140 degrees or the benefits of the honey will be destroyed.

You can give this to your pet once (or twice) a day and see if his/her labored breathing, etc. is controlled. Honey is great for soothing the muscles of the heart and a restorant, and the rosemary is a tonic that has cleansing effects and is a nervine. Also make certain they consume lots of water.....To encourage drinking, just add a little honey and they will lap it up!!!!!
