Re: candida in dogs' arm pits

[Guest guest]

Thanks Anne. He was weaned to Avoderm and we got him at 8 or 10 weeks old. He didn't have any shots after that, but he has had this armpit thing pretty much his whole life and back and forth the vets for it (holistic and otherwise). Even the holistic vet never suggested a cleanse, but I can certainly speak to him.

Corgis take no grooming as far as clippers go, except nails.

His current vet is one of the best in the country. He is a Chinese herbal vet, actually went there to study. He's had this dog on so many herbs I think I have some growing in my yard!

However, it does seem to heal up when the weather cools down. Maybe it's allergies instead of candida? Or can allergies bring on candida?

Thanks all for your input - Shari

Shari -

This may be something to think about: I've got a family member that

is very allergic to corn and anything made from corn. If he eats

anything " corn " , he will literally go into anaphylaxis - this

includes anything with high fructose corn syrup, too. About 5 years

ago, he was visiting a family member who lives on a farm, and ate a

breakfast of an omelet that contained 3 or 4 eggs. The guy almost

died. My aunt raised those chickens that laid the eggs that went

into the omelet, and they were free range except for the corn she

threw out a couple of times a week for the chickens to eat. You can

tell a corn fed chicken because of how dark yellow or orange the

yolks will be.

Anyway, the chickens were fed corn, cousin ate the eggs from the corn

fed chickens, ended up in the hospital. Even though your dog is

eating eggs and meat, maybe it's the grains those animals are eating

that is causing the dog's problems.

Just a thought and I have absolutely no idea of a dog would be as

sensitive as a human would be, but I don't see why not. A dog I

owned for 13 years was certainly a lot smarter than a lot of people I know :-)

Nope, no corn. No grains, no additives, no preservatives, just raw chicken, turkey, or rabbit. The entire animal gets ground up (I'm assuming minus the feathers/fur.)

We used to call them “hot spots”

at the vet I worked for, which is fitting. I think your thought about allergies

is absolutely right on spot Shari J If it is really bothering him after you

have tried some other suggestions, I will call my sister up and ask her for

you. She is an excellent veterinarian in California.
