Oh the other thing you can try is to see if you have a compounding pharmacy by you. They can change the liquid into a solid for you | |

yeah i called the compounding pharmacy and they only do capsules not tablets and they can make up the liquid as well but no tablets I wish the vets could act as pharmacies but everytime they will not fill a prescription from a specialist unless they see my dog and i think that is wrong it is like they want to get there office visit fee even if they have seen them in the past year and that is wrong to me especially since dd gets colitis when i take her to vet so not only do i have to deal with fee, missing work i also have to deal with diarrhea for no reason | |

| well not sure if Dee Dee can try the mupirocin ointment d/t her allergies, but we now keep it on hand - vet derm recommended. I had my PCP write it for me and I share it with the kiddos. I put it on the spots whenever i see one and i usu. can avoid antibiotics. Barney gets them 1-2 x a year with late summer and winter allergies (more so now that he's getting older) Clavamox did work pretty quickly. I will tell you that one time an injection of steroid (Vetalog) prolonged the infection. Vet Derm did not support (regular vet had done it).

| This is a pet peeve of mine as well. I feel like if you can't help me with a metronidazole Rx over the phone for my dog that has IBD and MVD when I am a good customer who shells out a good amount every year on three dogs, then what do I need you for? Oh and usually they want to "rule out parasites" every time too - even though my dogs are on interceptor and dont tromp in other dogs poo outside the pack etc etc. It's frustrating. It's over $100 every time! I've resorted to probiotics - we see diarrhea, they get probiotics 2-3x a day until clear. Well unless we are out of town and our petsitters can't handle that as was the case last month.....ok enough of my soapbox...getting off now... Quote:

Deb, Lady does have allergies, too. I swear by fatty acids and colostrum to boost her immune system. I have read that dogs with severe staph allergies sometimes benefit from immunotherapy/injections. Has your dermatologist ever mentioned it to you? Staph Dermatitis and Hypersensitivity ~ Pawprints and Purrs, Inc. | |

| Yes it's greasy. I have the mupirocin cream also but I think the ointment is better. It beats antibiotics though, and a trip to the vet :-)

our vet mentioned convenia shot again and had to remind him a second time she got hives from simplicef and he went OOOPS sorry forgot about it - they kill me never read the charts convenia and simplicef are in the same antibiotic family do you use the coconut oil as a fatty acid - i had good success with it with dd so going to start her after appt tomorrow i think. i have to order another jar as the organic we get is only good for 6 mos and very expensive so have to call and order another jar I always worry about fatty acids after the pancreatitis we went through with dex and dd always has high lipase on blood work which is a sign of fat digesting enzyme high and being on steroids i get nervous as i do not want to battle pancreatitis and steroids with her | |

| Daisy does not get the staph but she has severe allergies (in addition to her MVD and IBD) and she's been doing well on coconut oil. She was balding on her nose and around her eyes and between the fish oils she takes and now the coconut oil, I'm seeing an improvement!
