Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi , Sharyn and Pam I think would be the "experts" in this area on dogs... I would go to a raw diet.... do a search on "Barf" diets.... also try Aloe & Calendula like a tea and spray down... these two herbs should give some relief. Could this be an allergy? What is she feeding him?

They say that it looksl ike sarcoptic mange, but the tests and skin scrapes have come back negative. A change of diet to allergy-free or better food did not help either. He is digging holes in his own ears and skin because he's itching so badly. The poor guy.Mom's in tears, and is fearing she's going to have to put him to sleep. She can't bear all these strong chemical dips and weekly steriod shots anymore.Help? Anyone? thoughts?Thanks much,love and light, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi, Our dog had serious skin issues and the vet put him on prednisone. After about a week of bad side effects,l took him off and started putting msm powder in his food and adding colloidal silver to his water. He will occasionally still scratch a little bit but for the most part is healed and in much better shape. Good Luck -----Original Message-----From: TerriLynne [mailto:terri_lynne@...]Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 11:30 PMhealth Subject: Re: Herbal Animal Help! Hi , I had a German shepherd who was totally chewing her feet off because of itching. I allowed the vet to give her steroids twice. The first time, it seemed to help for a couple of weeks, then returned to its previous status. I waited about six months until I was feeling quite desperate, and then got her another steroid shot. This one not only didn't help, it seemed to make the itching worse! Needless to say, I wouldn't use steroids for itching again.

There are so many animal groups that help with all these sorts of problems, a lot of them run by people with years experience in natural animal health. They already have resources available have you considered joining one? Not that I think you should not post here but you would probably get faster and more in depth answers from them.
