Alison -
How can you be sure that it was the vitamins that changed her skin color?
I have run a lot of controlled studies in Cardiac and other research programs
- and we would never be able to make the assumption that you have made.
We would need to study at least 20 dogs with your pigmentation problem - and put half of them on a placebo and the other half on the vitamins that you gave your dog. At the end of four months, we would have to assess and compare the results.
Often, the results are surprising. What if half of the dogs had their skin return to "pink" -- and we saw that half of these dogs were on the vitamins and half weren't. This would dispell any notion that it was the vitamins that caused the change.
Anyway - you also could be right - it's just that using only one case often causes us to assume causes that aren't correct. It is possible that your pups skin reverted to pink for reasons other than the vitamins.
Just a thought! (Guess it's the "research gene" in me.)
