ErinKate Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Personally, I have never used it on a dog. What would you be using it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Festerling Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Never heard it but it is used as a carrying agent at times and I can see it being done. I just would NOT do it without finding out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailrider Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 DMSO is great for dogs. Harmless with no side effects that I ever heard about. Comes in liquid for external application, and powdered in capsules for injestion. Great for people too of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Not sure, I've used it all the time with the horses but can dogs absorb it externally like the horses? Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Peep Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 It can be absorbed into the blood. I almost used it on my mom until we checked with the Dr. and is on a blood thinner and he advised against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pax Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 One of the dogs had a biopsy of a lump on her ribs on Monday. Yesterday afternoon there was a some edema, but it was late and I could not get her back to the operating vet. Rather than take her to the e clinic for an emergency, I swiped it with roll-on DMSO (after my post I did some quickie research). I DMSO-ed it but it didn't go down as much as I would have hoped. If it was a horse in the barn I'd have stuck a needle in it myself, but as it was a dog and my dog skills are noticably poorer than my horse skills, I took her in. THEY aspirated it (normal edema) and put a pressure wrap on which of course has slid down around her waist. Anyway, I need to rewrap the pressure wrap and get a move on. Thanks for the responses.
