Prydenjoy Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Mum bought me some Emu Spirit Oil for my eczema, I was reading the pamphelts and thought I'd buy some for the dogs! It is rich in omega-6 (and 9) and seeing as it is animal based I figured it would be better than EPO for dogs! Just thought I'd share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Jeanne, that pic of your 2 dogs is gorgeous. Thanks for the link to read about Emu Oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydenjoy Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 Thank you so much Mita I think Emu oil and fish oils are two oils that you could rotate for maximum benefits. Fish oil is higher in omega 3, which is important to add to their diet as otherwise there is an imbalance of omega 3-6! When mum gave me the Emu oil she specifically said it was for ME, not for the dogs... she knows everything I get ends up being used for the dogs!

Cordelia Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I use Emu Oil for so many things! I have arthritis startig up in one of my fingers and it helps ease that. One of my pups had a skin condition..... within 8 days he has a good amount of nice fluff growing back. blah blah i could go on forever about this stuff. It is brilliant. (Though I don'y use the above brand. Not sure if they have it, but I use the pure emu oil. Doesn't smell pretty, but it isn't offensive either.

Prydenjoy Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 I've got a catalogue and I think when anyone asks me what I want for christmas I will say anything out of that! Did you use it internally or externally for your pup? I'm actually amazed at how quickly its cleared up my eczema! I emailed the company, asking if it needed to be refrigerated to prevent the EFAs from going rancid, they called me back today and were very helpful! They said just to keep it out of the sun, in a cupboard was a good place Do you use one from a different company, or a different type of emu altogether? Its all very confusing, but in the pamphlets its got some studies done preparing it to different emu oils (there was the Emu Spirit, Emu... Outback or something, etc) and it rated better than the others in all areas. I would assume though, that if any company were to market Emu Oil they'd be using the good one!

jesomil Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I use the emu spirit oil all the time. When I moved down to Melbourne, my bully came out with allergic welts. I gave him a teaspoon a day and rubbed it on the skin. He was better within the week. It is great for any type of skin problem both orally and topically. It clears up hot spots quicker than any vet product I have ever used. Great for any itchiness, dandruff, dry coat/skin. I use it on myself too. Great for sunburn as it is an anti inflammatory. Thumbs up for emu oil!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydenjoy Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Myszka, you can order it from the web page. I'm glad I found it, Diego has a show this weekend, I just noticed some red on his belly, probably from speeding through the long grass at like 50km/hour, so I just rubbed some on and its already looking better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina77 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Could I please have the makes of the brands you guys use , and how much does it cost and where can I get it ? I get terribly itchy skin , borderline eczema curtesy of childhood eczema but it drives me nuts , feels like pin pricks and if you scratch it it gets a 100 times worse, I've tried lots of creams , non soap products etc but most only help a little , I'd like to try this Emu oil if it's not to expensive I'm off to Cairns so I'll have a chance to shop for it , but if I have a brand name it will help Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina77 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Never mind the above, I just checked the website and the prices are somewhat high Oh well , maybe I can buy the soap and see how that goes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydenjoy Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Christina, first off I want to say I love your avator and signature! LOL, I just emailed it to my dad, I'm sure he'll have a good laugh! We are Mac lovers all the way :D Yes, it is fairly expensive, but well worth the money! I used to spend up to $15-20 a week on creams and stuff, I've changed my diet etc now so its not as bad, but the Emu oil will last a long time if you use it sparingly (which I haven't been, but I will be now!). You need to use a little bit more when you first start using it, but then when you start getting better and there are only a couple of itchy bits you only have to use a tiny amount and rub it in once or twice a day. Also, taken internally it helps the itchyness not crop up at all, and you only take a little bit that way. I also recommend the soap, provided you don't have dry skin on your face you can even use it to wash your face, it is light and works well. You'd need one of those soap things though if your soap holder fills up with water at all, it goes mushy pretty easily. (Did that last bit just make any sense??? I know what I mean! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina77 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hi Jeanne, a yes the avator pic, I'm just about to install Linux as well, 2 hard drives now so I'll see how it goes, I have XP pro , but W98 used to give me hell I know what you mean about the soap going gluggy, Dove soap does that and I have to keep telling the boys to LEAVE my soap alone in its dish, I'm sick of them using it and putting it back on the shower tray for it to get all sloppy. I didn't get a chance to find any Emu oil products , we ended up having to wait hours for our Dr. appointments so we just went home after , all that driving and no shopping ! It's a sin !

Mooper Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 a yes the avator pic, I'm just about to install Linux as well, 2 hard drives now so I'll see how it goes, I have XP pro , but W98 used to give me hell Slightly off-topic ... I'm on a linux machine now. It can be great, and there are some awesome programs out there, but it's tricky to make sure that any new components you buy (DVD burner, scanner, printer...) are compatible. Usually some clever person has written a driver to help you, but it's best to stick with the bigger brands rather that cheap manufacturers ... good luck installing Linux! And back on-topic, thanks for this thread. Mum gets terrible eczema ... I'll let her know about this stuff! She uses some expensive cream that she buys here in Canberra, olive-oil-based I think, that works well but at about $40 a tub she's keen to try something else. Like so many sufferers, she's tried almost everything under the sun, but still swears by garlic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capanash Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 We use Emu spirit emu oil capsules as a supplement to aid coat growth in our poodles. We have just started using Fidos Emu oil shampoo. Between shows it leaves the coat soft and conditioned, no dry skin which can happen with frequent washing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydenjoy Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 Like so many sufferers, she's tried almost everything under the sun, but still swears by garlic! LOL, that would be great... except.... I'm allergic to garlic! Capanash, I was wondering weather there was any emu oil dog shampoo's available, I was actually going to email the site and ask about it! Is there a web page for it? Where do you get it? I have Mac OS X - not a single problem yet, so simple to use, no angry moods at a stupid computer that wont do what I want it to, just pure excellence!

capanash Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 We really like the Fidos EmuOil Shampoo. Most big pet shops sell Fidos products, we bought it at the Groomex expo in Melbourne recently. It is new on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydenjoy Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Do you think we have any "big" pet shops here? Will have to wait until I go on holiday next, probably when we go to pick up our puppy next year! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capanash Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Many of the internet pet supply companies sell Fidos. Try www.vetstop.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
