Slightly off-topic, but, not really.

So, dogs here die from distemper, parvo and other non-common diseases in the states. I have taken in street dogs and puppies and tried to nurse them back to health (though distemper is almost impossible if pups are under 3 months or so).

Anyway, under the guidance of some of the vets here and local tradition, here is what we do; We boil chicken skin and bones then add broccoli, rice, and carrots. Beet juice (just a smidge or they won't eat it), a human multivitamin (dissolved), anti-virals (expensive) and an antibiotic, since these infections allow secondary infections to kill the dog.

This mixture has brought pups back from the brink of death. As long as they keep eating it, they will improve. The problem is when they lose their appetite and the mucus increases.

I have been able to re-habilitate and find homes with families for 26 dogs since we've been here using this recipe.
