QuestionI have a blu pitbull, champ line father and mother. She just had her first litter of puppys. She had ten of them. There are a few of them that have a crusty bumps on there backs . Not all of them have it. It is starting to spread on different parts of the body. The puppys are only 7 days old. I need help on what this is. I have taken one to our vet, plus several different ones . To see if I can get an answer. They just tell me they don't know what it is. I need help. I am using triple antibiotic ointment on them. Just started it yesterday. Please help me to figure this out . What my puppys have.
AnswerHello Ginger,
I'm not sure if I can be much help without seeing what the bumps look like,and I would like more information on environmental factors, so if you would call me, we could fill in the blanks and I would be able to assist more. My phone number is 727-327-8769 Tues, Wed, Sun and evenings or 727-327-2356 the other days.
Again, without knowing the specifics, I would probably do a couple of things:
1) Put the mother on a quality enzyme and probiotic formula in order to improve her immune system and as a result her milk quality. HerbSmith has a really good one.
2) I would treat the environment with our product "Critter Oil" in order to eliminate any pests that may be causing a problem. You can find out more on our site: http://www.naturalsforanimals.com
3) You can also bathe the mother with the shampoo formula very safely with nursing pups, and I would bathe the pups at 4 weeks. I have even used a more dilute formula at 3 weeks.
4) It would be safe to use either our Super Goop or Colloidal Silver directly on the spots as well. It doesn't take but a light dab of Super Goop, so don't get carried away.
Download my book "Simple Steps to a Healthy Pet on the home page as well and read it. It will give you VERY valuable information.
Keep me posted, and please call.
