Update on Preachers skin issue.

[Balakumar]

First of all I should introduce myself. I am a medical doctor. The skin rashes and scratching was due to dry skin which was due to blockage of sebaceous glands which was due to mild allergies and yeast infection. So to control this situation with out giving anti fungal I wanted to boost her immunity, so gave omega 3, zinc , B 6 good for skin and hair. This is the way I treated her. I am from Sri Lanka I bought a product called Quadracoat. I am sending photo of the ingredients label you can select a product which matches in your country. I give her 0.5 ml/ kg dose

I'm curious how you came up with this solution ? Where do you get your supplements and what strength are they ? Thanks.

Zinc...that’s what I was trying to remember. Have your vet check his zinc levels! We had a member here that had the same issues with their dobe and it was due to zinc levels.
Also remember it doesn’t correct overnight. It takes time being in the system to see results.

Yes. But I don’t take them to vet. I give treatment myself. Even I saved this girl from Parvo when she was 9 weeks old. Now she is 5 months old

You have the advantage of medical knowledge that most here don’t. Many have to rely on their veterinarians to receive proper care especially if they have pet insurance and need animal specific drugs and proper dosing guides.

If I want to be a good Doctor, should not depend on blood investigations use the theoretical knowledge with experience to diagnose

Do you practice any homeopathic treatments using essentials oils for flea and tick prevention?
Doing blood chemistry gives us a baseline to start with in determining that all levels are WNL. If there are any anomalies in results then we determine the causes for such and treat accordingly.
Often blood chemistry does not pinpoint issues but is good to have as we will have that baseline results that we can refer to as the dog ages and any changes in blood chemistry can be compared.
Most times when we see skin issues we immediately think of an unhealthy gut. As you know having a healthy gut is the basis of having a healthy immune system.

Treating symptoms is not the method at our hospital. We endeavor to find the cause and treat that. Supplemental amino acids, vitamins and diet changes may often produce improved conditions but it is not an immediate noticeable improvement. It takes time to eliminate the bad from the system while introducing the good.

It is always good to hear about similar experiences and how they were handled. Home remedies are good when they work but sometimes we have to just find a vet we can trust. I'm pretty much at that point after trying skin so soft and water mix,organic coconut oil and finally organic apple cider vinegar and water mix. None of these things seemed to help. I stopped seeing my regular vet of 16 years after not being satisfied. I tried another vet and still wasn't satisfied with the answers I got or the treatment Preacher received. I finally had a friend highly recommend another vet to me. I am going to give this vet a chance to find Preachers problem. She has explained this process will take some time. She knows I don't like the idea of Prescription diet but feels we need to do it for 12 weeks to give us some answers. Hopefully we will get this figured out in a few months.

I truly hope you can find what works as I know it is a frustrating, expensive and long road trying to resolve skin issues.
Positive thoughts coming to you and Preacher!
