I have an older poodle. The poor thing has scratched and chewed his entire life. Nothing seems to help. He does not have worms. He will turn round and round out on the rough concrete to "scratch", I assume. In the past few months he does a "stretch" move where he actually looks kind of like he is hunching the bed, but I think he is either stretching his rear legs or somehow soothing an itch. Does this condition cause itching? Assuming he could "feel" something happening inside, it would make sense to me that he might. What do you who have had experience with this thing? Thanks so much for your replies.

You can use Food Grade DE for humans also. if you prefer you can put it in capsules. Also works in gardens and around house for insects.
I did google when I had ants and found baby powder was one of the recommendations. That works great for ants.
I just read a tip for when you get a burn. Use egg whites.
Very effective.

I got some the other day cause my new rescue kitty Misty has among many other little issues, Ghiardia a parasite.
Just curious if any of you have any experience with this.

More info found here. Look under Pest Control:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomaceous_earth
I purchased mine from http://hoeggergoatsupply.com
Note: Make sure you know the grade you have and how to use it properly. You can find Diatomaeous earth in swimming pool supply stores for pool filters. This product is finer than food grade and was not suggested for farm use because it can be more easily inhaled.

I haven't heard of this treatment for anything, but it makes sense for fleas & mites. As for Giardia, it is a VERY SERIOUS DISEASE, & I certainly don't see why just raw meat would cure such a parasitic disease. Go with your vet.

How does eating raw meat get rid of a parasite?
Second opinions -- so underrated
