If I see a significant difference in her hair(she also had a lot of dandruff and ear infections) then I'll let you know. Yours may need this capsule also. Mine also had sores all over her belly and was rubbing her butt and even pulling herself to try to keep from itching. She actually has already quit with the rubbing |
Sugar did great while on prednisone but I hated having him on it. Someone recommended 2 herbs that act as anti-inflammatories in humans so I'm going to do a little research on them for dogs. We also have a little herbal medicine shop in town so maybe they'll know something. I read tea has anti-inflammatory properties so I'm wiping his eyes with strong tea- we'll see.
