HEALTH AND WELLNESS
It's never too late to paws and breathe.
![]() IS your dog itchy and scratching all the time? Lots of people recommend Kakawate as nature's remedy for dog's common skin problems. Also known as Madre Cacao or Madre de Cacao, the Kakawate is scientifically considered as the second most important multi-purpose legume tree with wide healing properties. However, a big local pharmaceutical company believe it's a rodenticide that could lead to long-term depression in dogs. As a medicinal plant, the Kakawate is known in the Philippines as a topical solution to cure scabies in human. Traditionally, the juice extract of the kakawate leaves, roots or bark are used to wash and treat scabies and fungal infections. For dogs with skin irritations, the Kakawate's anti-mange characteristics can help heal scabies and eliminate bad odor and itching. It is said that Kakawate solution can also promote smoother and softer coat on dogs. Members of the Philippine Pug Lovers said this is how to prepare the solution:
The Bureau of Agricultural Research said that aside from its anti-bacterial properties, the Kakawate (Gliricidia sepium) is also an effective mosquito repellant. Farmers grind the Kakawate leaves and apply them where mosquitoes alight. The Kakawate is not edible. It is actually quite poisonous and, for this reason, it is often used as rat bait. *Text and photo by MetroPets

Pinaliguan ko ng soap na madre de cacao un dog namin. Di na niya ma open ng maayos yung mata niya. Binanlawan ko uli kc baka napasukan lang ng sabon o matapang yng sabon, pero hanggang ngayon half closed pa din eyes niya at nagtutubig at nagmumuta. Mag 24 hrs na pong ganito. Anyone who has ideas kung bat nagKaganon? Tska ok lang ba idaan ko sa banlaw at antayin. Natatakot po ako bka mabulag siya. Tnx sa makakatulong.

Tuloy nyo lang po. Initial reaction or usual reaction ng aso na mangangamot pa din after maligo..sa case ksi nung alaga ko d ko agad npansin o Nkita ung changes or improvement.. Gradually po ung naging paggaling nya.. Cguro dpende na din sa sitwasyon kung nagsisimula o worse na ung sugat o galis ng aso..ung saken kasi mejo npabyaan ko kya memo inabot ng 2 wks bgo nawala at ntuyo..

Ang galis mga 2 weeks po ang itinatagal pag ginagamot.Pag hindi ginamot, nangingitlog nang nangingitlog at kumakalat sila sa loob ng skin. at nakkahawa. Kung gusto niyong mabilis na gumaling (human). Mag lotion kayo sa buong katawan ng permethrin lotion (Kwell lotion). Patay sa permethrin pati itlog ng galis. Mabibili ang permethrin sa mga drug stores even without prescription. Php250/60ml . At I bleach ang mga linens at mga isinuot na damit. I zonrox at sabunin ang tiles na floor .May pang bleach na pang de color na mga damit. May instructions sa pag gamit ng Kwell lotion. Pag bumalik ang kati, ulitin ang process. Sakayan ng pagsabon ng sulfur soap

dati d ako naniniwala pero nag try ako kc yung aso ko matagal ng pinahihirapan ng galis. nahawa pa yung isa kaya sinubukan ko na. pinakuluan ko sa tubig tapos maligamgam ginagawa kong pang banlaw pagkatapos nila maligo. unang try pa lang kitang kita na ang pagbabago. natutuyo agad yung mga galis ng aso ko.

Share ko lang po yung experience ko, our dog has sarcoptic mange too and we treated it using kakawate. By using the boiled kakawate for 2-3x a week for about 2-3 weeks, I can say that it is effective. The dog's hair has started growing again. And using it continuously, it made our dog's old hairy skin back. So, those for who doubt, do not worry about using it. It is really effective.
