Clindamycin tablets

[dwerten]

she also sold me these wipes for her vulva area and for her paws as she wants me to wipe her vulva twice a week with these in the fold to keep bacteria down in that area and bath her once a week in chlorhexedine no more than twice a week as too drying

NEW! Douxo Chlorhexidine 3% PS Pads (30 count)

I'm sure they would make her more comfortable... but for your sanity I would have a bottle of natural tears, or Saline solution handy to rinse the eye if you notice any unexpected results. Be sure to ask the pharmacist about compatibility though, before application.

Now don't freak out on me, but when I worked for a snake breeder (very high dollar reptiles) occassionally one would develope an illness that antibiotics couldn't help. After many trials using different meds that didn't clear the infection, samples would be sent to a lab in California where they would be analyzed and a special medicinal cocktail would be made to treat that specific disease in that specific animal, and would always effectively eliminate the illness. They tested results in the lab, eliminating the need to stress the animal through multiple medical trials. It takes almost 2 months or more to get the medication and begin treatment, and at the time cost around $200.00 to have done. Don't know if this is an option for dogs... I don't see why not.

I had to laugh, on the news tonight they did coverage on a young person suffering from Chrone's disease. He opted to go to Mexico, where he was intentionally infected with Hookworms, at a cost of $2500.00. Claims to be effective against asthma, allergies, and other chronic autoimmune diseases. Worm Therapy: Helminth-Induced Immune Modulation They said people's bodies were originally designed to deal with these problems, and that the worms give off an enzyme that prevents disease from manifesting. As we see less incidence of these parasites, we are seeing increased incidences of children with allergies, asthma and the like.

Then they went on to say that smokers have a 44% less chance of developing Parkinson's than non-smokers.

yeah she said it is only the second round and dd had not had staph before or had clindamyacin so she is hoping this will kill it and this time she wants to see her at 3 weeks to make sure -I think it was deep rooted as i tried to treat topically so probably was not the best option as she said it gets in hair follicles and you have to do antibiotics to kill it - hopefully this round will do it but send me the link as i will keep it just in case. we are in cali and our derm is real sharp so feel comfortable with her but she is like you are screwed she has allergies debbie so sad

she said if this does not work we will do another culture and use a different antibiotic my poor girl

I'll get the info from my vet tomorrow.

My SIL had a Dobie that was allergic to everything. Almost constant vomiting and diarrhea. I couldn't begin to tell you how much she spent on this dog at the vets. After 2-3 years of trying different things, she had the dog PTS bc there was no food it could eat without reacting. This happened almost 20 years ago and nowadays there are more medical options than were available to her at that time. But I did recently see an episode of Dogtown, where a woman had a pup in Pennsylvania with similar allergies. She ended up sending the pup to Dogtown, where the dog's symptoms miraculously disappeared. They chalked it up to the allergies being environmental, and the physical change in environment which occurred when the dog was shipped to them in the desert or close to it, I believe, is what helped the dog. The poor owner had no money left to spend on treatment, hence her decision to send her to Dogtown to be treated and rehomed.
I remember you were thinking of moving you mentioned in another thread a while back... maybe this would be an option for you and DeeDee... or do a trial vacation in an area with different conditions than where you live now, and see if she shows improvement. Do you have a room in your home you could set up for her with air cleaners/hepa filters, dehumidifiers/humidifier, uva/uvb light source, ionizers... etc? You've probably already done this... I really can not think of anything else to try to help your little one.

I have hope the desensitization may work. That may be the way to go on this as keeping her on steroids isn't a good thing at all.

Keeping you both in my prayers... she's such a beautiful pup...give her a hug from us!

thanks yeah my grandma lives in arizona bull head city and she said she would take her but her health is not the best and i do not want to give her up and i worry about valley fever there since she has a poor immune system

oh yeah we have oreck air purifiers in our home, hepa filters you name it lol it is the white room my dad calls it lol but i am going to beef up the cleaning here for dust and have cleaning lady come here more often so maybe that might help

derm said though the steroids will not help the itching from staph though . DD blood work has been great but she is adimant she does not want dd on steroids daily she said it is not safe unless i am prepared to have more probs and a shorter life then go for it but honestly i just want her comfortable so i will see how it goes with blood work and staph gone and go from there as atopica is not an option - I am very scared to do hyposensitization shots for if she gets worse i will LOSE it

we received from drs foster and smith our meds free shipping and the pills are so tiny so excited

thanks to Linda for saying these are available what a hassle it saved me
