Ozone Treatment
Ozone is a natural gas with short reactive half life time but great therapeutic and sanitary properties.
Ozonated olive oil was recommended to us by Dr. Robert Smatt to treat a facial abscess in one of our rescued rats. After only a few applications of this salve, the abscess was gone for good after less than 12 hours without oozing or uncomfortable heat compressions.
We observed the same effect a few months later, again on a facial abscess and an abscess that developed at a surgical incision site. The abscess on the surgical site diminished after only one application and disappeared after 4 days of once a day application of the salve.
Ozone is a great natural antibiotic and we have used it successfully to treat a variety of fungal, viral, and bacterial infections. Although we never had to try it, we believe that ozonated olive oil would also be a very effective treatment for bublefoot.
One of our friends has great success treating itchy hot spots on her dog’s skin with ozonated olive oil. Her dog apparently really appreciates the relief this simple remedy causes and lies down contently and with great expectations to allow the application.
The beauty of this non-toxic, low-tech treatment is that animals even can lick and ingest it without getting harmed. In fact, some practitioners recommend oral administration of ozonated olive oil for certain ailments.
Dr. Smatt also used ozone gas to treat inoperable cancers as well as arthritic problems in dogs, cats and even one of our rats. We are very grateful for Dr. Smatt’s care for our pets.
