Btw, how did he confirm the infections - was it by deduction or did he actually do a skin scraping a grow it out in culture?

YAY for Roxy!!

I made the appt to either confirm or rule out 2 things: Yeast or Mites

He took a look at her problem areas: Armpits, Chin, Ears
and he said he is certain she has both atopic yeast and staph. He said he is 98% sure it is NOT mites (mange) but being that her skin was so raw he didn't feel a skin scrape was necessary at this time. We talked about protocol he would do and recommend for both the yeast and staph, but with her Liver Issues, we are very limited as to an approach. Even some medicated shampoos are no good for liver issue dogs.

It has only been about 3 or 4 days straight of the ACV and Aloe Vera in her food, and I only bathed her just yesterday morning in that shampoo, but I can't even begin to explain just how good her skin looks. It might be a combo of everything, not sure, but I truly hope we are on a path to recovery.
