Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi all, I know there's been past discussion about pets being impacted by mold illness, but I'm curious if anyone ever tried to apply Shoemaker's protocol to treating dogs. My dog has been unsuccessful in fighting a bladder infection since early March. I took her to the vets who xrayed and found no kidney stones, etc. He just got the lab work back and her RBC and WBC are both below normal. Of course, this isn't so surprising to me given that she spent over 3 years in our toxic house laying on toxic carpet and I know my WBC was almost always below normal the whole time I was there and my RBC and hematocrit were also on the lower end of the normal range. The vet will be giving me iron and B-vitamins, which I know can be effective in bringing those things into normal range, but I did also mention to him the CSM and even procrit. He's going to look those up and see if anyone has ever used on dogs - I imagine the latter likely not given that the cost is likely as prohibitive as it is for humans. I don't think the dog would consume the regular CSM and I don't know if vets have access to it in the compounded form (I don't think they've reached the point of treating dogs for high cholesterol that I'm aware). Anyways, I'm just curious if anyone else has labs for their dog that they think was made ill from mold exposure to see if the pattern is similar to what we're seeing with my dog.
