Many dogs and humans go through vicious cycles with antibiotics and not taking probiotics and once they stop the bacteria comes back with a vengeance even worse and i would think the same would be with a fungal infection
I do not discount the antifungal at all and definitely needs to take it but this dog has a poor immune system to have caught this to begin with as other dogs are not affected so supporting that immune system is going to be important and these two things are proven to be good for the immune system.
The hard part is most medical professionals and vets do not know much about nutrition and many times mask things with drugs and then things get worse - I wish more would take nutritional education after schooling as i know for vets they only take one class in nutrition and Hill's is the instructor of that and many vets make a ton of money on the food as it is a 40% profit to them - Now having said that it has worked wonders for my dexter the vet food so you have to go with what works with your dog and what you are comfortable with as the owner. |
I saw that you suggested supplementing. What bothered me is this woman you mentioned....this quote from your other post:
This woman is totally against meds she follows food is your best medicine hypocrites (?) I bought the book but she was the one that told me about the dds plus and coconut oil i get now and she researches everything thoroughly - i will try to find info
