I am so glad for you that they finally figured this out as i really did not think lymphangastasia based on her blood work being normal. I am sure she will be just fine now that they know what it is
After this is all cured i would supplement her with raw organic coconut oil and i would even ask vet about doing this along with drug as it is a natural anti-fungal and why it is used in shampoos, neosporin, etc as it is natural antibacterial and anti-fungal so please check into this and it is 1/4 tsp per 10lbs so you could start her on 1/8 daily and they love it my dd was on it for over a year no issues with blood work etc and she loved it and also did probiotics so i would ask vet about using those two natural supplements along with it as I will say I have been doubling up dd probiotics and only did clindamyacin 2 days and her staph infection is 100% better almost gone on her back which i was surprised and i think because i am using so much probiotic in her it is killing it that much faster.
Here is the coconut oil i use as a nutritionist did a lot of research and suppose to be purest form and comes in glass jar as that is suppose to also indicate the best quality if in glass jar
and here are the probiotics i use dds plus capsules - non-dairy as dogs are usually lactose intolerant PROBIOTIC COMPANY - UAS Laboratories
coconut oil is below Virgin oil de Coco-Creme |
Thanks so much, I will have her off the Predisone by friday. Funny you talk about Coconut, I use Spring Valley extra virgin coconut oil I buy at Whole Foods, I rub it on my face,hair,body. You can even cook with it. I also drink Coconut milk instead of Cow. So it makes sence to supplement for my dogs. She is on a very very strong drug. Guess where I think she got this fungus? From bags of soil. I love fresh veges. I was in the vets and a lady told me her friends dog got this fungus from MULCH.....Just giving everyone a heads up...
