Dog: Benign Tumor and/or Cyst
(From Animal Desk Reference by Melissa Shelton)
First Line Recommendations:
Apply undiluted Frankincense, Copaiba and Peppermint to the tumor, generally in that order, up to twice a day based on the response and tolerance. [While Shelton suggests using these oils undiluted, author of Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals by Kristen Leigh Bell cautions to "always D-I-L-U-T-E essential oils with dogs!" She suggests starting with a dilution suitable for a human toddler, which translates into 10 drops of essential oil in 1/2 oz (15mL) carrier oil (1-2%).]

1 Week UPDATE on my sweet Pug, Angel's cyst that burst last Friday night. Can't begin to tell you how BLESSED I am that Linda [with HEO] took the time to help me. These oils are AMAZING!!! I wish I had taken a before, or even when, burst photo. Let me just say, it is less than half the size it was and looking like it is healing!!!! Maybe even going to go away! :) She has had cyst for over a year maybe two or three. It is on back of neck which meets her back bone. She is 13 and it never bothered her, so I didn't want to put her through surgery to have it removed. Friday night it burst, pouring blood and puss out a pretty good size hole. Linda suggested four oils. I had three on hand. After talking about it, I decided peppermint may sting since she had open wound. While waiting for order. I used 1-2 drops Frankincense, and I then sprayed Lavender on it, with which I have mixed in coconut oil. Yesterday Copaiba arrived, and since her wound is closed, I added the Peppermint. Made a bottle of all these four in coconut oil and applied them on the cyst twice a day. Her cyst and skin under, which felt like thick callous, is half the size already!!! It is also looking very healthy now, the skin is not as dark and tough as it was. PRAISE THE LORD!
