"We took him to the vet and they gave us cream and antibiotics and they didnt seam to help. We cant afford to take him to the vet at this time. We tried alot of over the counter earmite stuff but nothing seems to work. Sometimes hes in so much pain he cant sit still i try to clean his ears with q-tips black scab like stuff comes out"
Your dog has ear mites! When dogs have ear mites the ears produce wax, the blackness is the bloody scabs from scratching. We brought a stray cat into the house about 3 weeks ago. Our Shih-Tzu got them in less than 24hours! Squirt an eye dropper full of mineral oil into each ear. Wait about 5 minutes. This will loosen the scabs. Take a cotton ball and wipe out and a q-tip is needed. do not use hydrogen peroxide. Keep your dog's ears dry! Any substance with water will just feed the mites to grow. The mineral oil suffocates the ear mites. Do this for 3 days on the 4th day take a break. Then continue again for 3 more days, take a break on the 4th day. Continue this until the ear wax stops building up in the ear until the inflammation goes away. The mites weren't so bad in our dogs ear because we caught it as soon as it happened. Her ear mites were gone in a week. But the life cycle of the mites is 6 weeks. You may need to do the treatment that long
Vaccume a little extra and wash where your dog sleeps.
If you have cats you must do this same to the cats.

As the Herbalist: What should you do when a dog is having a heart attack?
Getting to a vet before it is too late is almost impossible if you dog is in the middle of a heart attack.
Anything can be harmful if not given in proper amounts... however, Cayenne Pepper is actually beneficial to dogs when administered properly.
Cayenne Pepper:
Perhaps the greatest natural stimulant known, Cayenne has been called the single greatest "driver" of other herbs. No other herb is quite in this class making it a must for all formulas. Simply said, when you need to get an herb to any location in the body cayenne reins supreme. The uses of cayenne are so numerous that it has been claimed "the single greatest herb." Some of the common uses are anal problems (to include hemorrhoids), heart attack, toothache, external bleeding, diphtheria, all sorts of eye conditions, wounds of all types, clearing the mucous membranes etc.
------------------------
To humans, cayenne has been used to stop a heart attack in less than 30 seconds!!!

DOG HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS
Heart attacks occur in dogs for much the same reasons as they do in human beings. Old age, obesity and diabetic conditions are contributory factors but heart attacks can strike due to many other medical conditions.
When Dogs have a Heartattack the animal experiences pain in his fore limbs and shows it by stretching his arms. The dog also tries to crane and stretch his neck sideways. Dog Heart Symptoms to look out for are apparent difficulties in breathing, sweating and signs of unconsciousness like drowsy eyes. The moment these Dog Heart Attack Symptoms are noticed it may be prudent to remove any leash on the dog and try and talk to the dog out of his uneasiness with the aim of making him more receptive to instructions. This also helps should the dog be slipping into a comatose condition. No water or other liquids should be administered to the dog in this condition. In inclement weather such dogs must be kept warm. A veterinarian must be called or an ambulance summoned so that the Dog having the Heart Attack is evacuated to an animal hospital without delay. Until the doctor or ambulance arrives, first aid for resuscitation must be initiated much the same way as it is done in human beings.
Dog Heartattacks Symptoms also occur due to a variety of cardiac and pulmonary disorders. Most of these medical problems can be set right if they are detected soon enough. So if your dog is in the high risk zone of obesity and old age you must look out for the symptoms.
