Question
I just ordered the nuvet vitamins under your code last month and got on autoship. My yorkie pooh has a lump under his armpit about the size of a pea. How long does it take for the nuvet to start reducing the lump. I am kind of concerned here. My dog gets the best food and i really eliminate the vacines. I try to stay away from vets if possible and try to keep my dogs with natural means. Thats why i chose nuvet. The vets all want to medicate like regular medical doctors. He seems to be acting ok and eating ok. But that lump is bothering me. Are lumps a common thing in canines. ps..he is appx 18 pounds and is on two wafers a day.
thanks
patty

Answer
Hi Pat,  Well, the NuVet can be very helpful to reduce inflammation and fatty cysts.  If this area is getting any larger or gives him any discomfort, please see the vet for an exam.
This may also be lymph nodes related to infection of allergies.

As far as NuVET or any supplements, they take a good 30 days or more to kick in and build a good blood level.  ( Natural takes time )

You may also want to place a pinch of Turmeric powder into your yorkie pooh's food each day.  This also helps to reduce any inflammation or swelling on pets and people, too.
Turmeric powder can be found in the Baking area of the supermarket.
It is strong tasting so hide it well in some Wet canned food ---
Again, just a pinch every day for at least 1 month.

We can also add some Colloidal Silver to his diet, down the road.
Give the NuVET and the Turmeric a try first.
Take everything slowly.

Please remember I am not a Vet.

Glad you choose NuVET supplements!
Natural and all human grade level ingredients for pets.
