Amazing Health Benefits of Elderberry: How To Make Syrup

[@alexandrac9536]

I use elderberry tea and syrup to prevent colds in myself! good to know it can be used in our companions!

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Nice

[@houndlifevlogs1055]

Could you do a video about improving heart health in dogs.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Yes- good suggestion

[@houndlifevlogs1055]

I'll have to plant these berries. Thank You for another great video.

Welcome

When I use the dried berry of the black elder I put an ounce in a quart jar and fill with boiling water and let sit for four hours to let all that good stuff extract out into the water. I have never given any to my cats, but this base is what I use to make my syrup or jelly. Just thought I'd share for anyone who may be interested. I love elderberries!

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Thanks Lisa

[@courtneyalva]

I just started using elderberry for myself & will def apply to my cats! Thanks for this info! I’m new to your channel & am going to the store now to apply a lot of your recommendations I pray help when the expensive vet visits haven’t yet

[@lynnebabb5349]

I love elderberry pie. The berries can be bitter. My Mom would add fresh lemon juice to cover the bitterness. People would come for miles for those pies. Yum!

[@rach33ll88]

I saw your video if your dog is coughing to give elderberry syrup by Suro, that worked so quickly on my Roxy her cough went away like like 3 days and she actually liked the taste

[@VeterinarySecrets]

That's great to hear.

[@thekarencrowe]

Great. Your family looks beautiful.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Thanks :-)

Hi Dr. Jones, Love your videos and natural approach to dog parenting! I think my 5 month old chocolate lab is sensitive to chicken. Every food I have tried Taste of the Wild, Blue Wilderness, Hills Prescription Science Diet i/d (worst of all), and now Nutro have not improved his mushy to down right puddle poops. He also developed a yeast infection in one ear that I cleared up after watching one of your other videos. I have been sprinkling slippery elm on his meals, which helps, but I don't want to have to do this forever. Today I ordered him Victor Yukon River Salmon and Sweet Potato, it's All Life Stages so what I want to know is is that actually good to feed a puppy and what calcium level should I be looking at too, since from what I understand is supposed to increase the hip dysplasia risk. Victor has a calcium amount of 1.78%

[@houndlifevlogs1055]

Sorry last question haha. I was just looking at getting a tree and there are 3 types, red, blue and black? Is one better than another?

[@CraftingPatty]

I have some I bought on amazon in a gel pill form. Can I use those instead?

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Yes

[@CraftingPatty]

Thanks.

[@franceslynch3285]

Thank you soooo much for this , ours are gone now in the U.K. , will have to order . I have a rescue dog who's ears are really infected , ive cleared one changing her diet , but she eats her poo she was in a cage with a big dog next door with a small run . The lady that took care of her forgot to feed her due to health problems when she did the bigger dog eat all her food , so she eat poo and drank her wee , she still does this at times now , and this is what has cause her ear problems . She has yeast problems ,when she eats any rice wheat oats any filler . So now I make my own food low in fat beef , chicken and kidney , no lamb and pork which gives runny poo , I put egg organic shells crushed herbs and turmeric powder , and banana apple and carrot and melons for treat s , ( I cook the meat it make her poo if not) , but with doing this , one ear has cleared up and she is not smelling of yeast . Thank you again .

Hi Dr Jones thanks for making these videos. could u please do one about vaccinations/booster shots... my dog has an autoimmune disease such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is it still safe to do booster shots? She is 8 years old.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Thanks and I shall. I would not give any further vaccines

[@feliciabanuchi5757]

Hi. Do you have a video on naturally treating overgrowth skin yeast infections on dogs. If not can you please do so. I have a 9 year old pittbull who suffers from seasonal allergies and now has a overgrowth of yeast. I tried medical shampoos, giving her coconut oil in her food and on skin. Seems to help a little so far but the itching continues and the redness are still there. Plus i just got done treating her ear infection. Which she constantly gets from these allergies.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Good suggestion

[@Southerngrl]

I’m having problems with my dog for yeast, did you make a video?

[@susanspencer9538]

Thanks👍🍾🍷yum...

[@KevinsCaninesAndAquatics]

Will it help prevent these illnesses or not? Is it just when they are sick and how much elderberry juice should you give them

[@KevinsCaninesAndAquatics]

Will it also help if you put it in treats for them to eat?

[@VeterinarySecrets]

I suggest 1 teaspoon/10lbs daily

[@mandypittman4313]

Can this be given with echinacea and/or goldenseal?! My poor babies currently have the flu, sadly one brought it home from the vet office & it spread from there. Also do you recommend anything other than honey a severe cough? Or anything to help open the airways? My chihuahua is getting old & it seems to be affecting him most unfortunately, & I can't find an office that will see him because its so highly contagious. Elderberry is also a great natural remedy for cold sores or fever blisters. As a pharm tech I've been told it doesn't have the awful effects anti viral drugs do, & it cuts healing time in half!

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Yes it can

[@richardzeroth5564]

We have elderberry shrubs at our house....ours do not look like them. Ours are Dark purple-black colored. Our bushes aren't that tall. What kind are yours, just wondering. Rich and Dee.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Hi, the variety in British Columbia is Blue elderberry (Sambucus caerulea).

[@Stewbid1]

Hi Doctor, I love your videos. Thank you so much for making them. I'm pretty experiences in herbal healing & natural health in humans & it seems that much of it also applies to dogs. I didn't know where else to post a question to you so please forgive me if this is not the right place. Do you feel that black walnut is safe for dogs in the correct amount? Does it prevent or cure heart worms? If so, what is the correct dosage? I lost my 20 y.o. pug dog last weekend and my younger, 9 y.o. dog is now coughing after exercise. She is also having low energy. I know she also senses the loss, however I'm sure it's more than that. My 20 y.o. also had a cough which kept coming back. Her death was unexpected and she seized and stopped breathing in the middle of the night. The younger dog is seeing a vet in January, no sooner appointment open, however I feel like this needs attention more urgently. I would pay for a few minute chat, even video chat with you if that's a possibility. Looking forward to checking out some of your materials as a Christmas present to myself. Thanks again. Any advice is appreciated.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Hi and Thanks. Sorry for your loss. I personally would avoid Black Walnut I don't think it helps much and is potentially toxic

[@nefertitithequeen8640]

My cats have the herpes and no cure so i have struggled so much with this virus and i have lost some of my cat to the virus because my located vet could only do so much and i could only do so much too; horrible virus horrible; thank you for this video sound great going to try it out. I really hope it will work for my cats.

[@sarahblanken4862]

My dog is losing his voice bark. I am concerned about him.what can I do for him at home.ty. please help.

[@courtneysmith9074]

My kitten has herpesvirus, was going to make elderberry syrup tomorrow and try it with him! What's the dosage? We use it everytime we have a cold coming on and it never fails to knock it out within 24/48 hours, we love elderberry syrup!!

[@VeterinarySecrets]

I would dose it at 1 tspn/10lbs twice daily

[@courtneysmith9074]

@@VeterinarySecrets thanks for reply!

Dr. I would like to set up a fund so you and other colleagues can study, research and develop a new diuretic that actually works. So we can extend the life of our pets. I will appreciate if you email me. I think we can make a medicinal discovery.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Thanks and most interesting.
