Help Needed! Skin Problem

[Bella Bluenoser]

Great news ! I would also keep Nu-Stock ointment around in case she gets more hot spots and Vetericyn eye drops in case she gets another eye infection ( since neither needs a prescription ). I don't know too much about tripe, hopefully Helene can respond to your tripe questions [MENTION=15310]helsonwheels[/MENTION]

Thank you.

Thank you.

I NEVER thaw tripe especially tripe. I semi thaw it to cut but right back in the freezer for sure. Frozen raw food is more safe in my book. Maybe because I work in the food industry. I see n hear so much about diseases. Frozen will kill all. Also they need to chew and break it down for their teeth. And yes 1/2patty is great. Also in Acana they add tripe! And every other day I give sauerkraut about a good tablespoon. Again the one that's fermented in the fridge. That's all my pups need as probiotics as they also eat raw in the morning. Raw has everything a dog needs if healthy.

I just sprayed Bella with the colloidal silver, she doesn't like the sound but I was able to get her sprayed. I paid C$20 (US$15) for a 250ml bottle at Totally Raw, the regular price is C$24.95 but they had it on sale.

Next time try making your own colloidal silver, it's a fun project. Just need 2 wires with alligator clips on both ends, 2 x 0.999 pure silver wires or silver coins or silver bars, some distilled water and a vase and 2 or 3 x 9 volt batteries. ( I wouldn't bother with a current regulating diode since you're not drinking it ). Step By Step: How To Make Your Own Colloidal Silver | Ready Nutrition

glad to hear you got antibiotics. it may be that your pup needs more than one round. Lola has a recurring staph but it was gone gone after an additional round this past year. we use the herbsmith microflora plus from amazon for probiotics, a must for when on antibiotics. good job getting all the advice and the vet on board!

Update - Bella finished the antibiotics on January 4th and I am happy to say her hair is nearly all grown back although in a different colour and the lumps and scraps cleared up fairly soon after she started the antibiotics. The vet said to keep an eye on her for a couple of weeks after the antibiotics are finished to see if I notice the skin infection returning but it has been almost 6 weeks and everything looks good.
