QuestionI just started my senior bulldog, Nina, on NuVet last week. I stopped giving her the Temaril she was on for a couple of months, about 3 weeks ago and her skin has some hot spots and pink areas. How long does it take before the NuVet will start working for her skin and coat? Should I also be giving her a probiotic and if so, what kind do you recommend?
I feed her Nature's Balance - Grain Free - Sweet Potato and Fish.
Thank you.
Tracy
AnswerHi Tracy and Nina; So glad you are using the NuVET Plus and a good Quality food.
The Temaril-P steroid drug should be only stopped with your Vet's help. Most of the time you would taper Nina off this drug slowly reducing the dosage over a 2 week period.
NuVet does take a few weeks to get a good blood level as it is Natural; Most folks will see results with NuVet by the first month.
I would like to work with you and Nina from my private e-mail or by telephone:
I do need to talk with you about Probiotics and shampoo;
Please call me at : 803-424-2312 ( Marie Peppers) or e-mail me here: mpmaltese@gmail.com
Let's talk about more options for adding to Nina's program
talk to you soon.
