AnswerGlad you ordered the NuVET- YOUR baby will need 2 per day for the first 15 days and then stay on the 1 1/2 each day.....
Also, Make sure you get some kind of a Probiotic, this is a must...
YOU can get the Flora force or any other Quality Probiotic .....
Keep me posted! I am here to help:
Hi Bruce, Now that the vet has taken all your money, let me help! So sorry you both have to deal with vet visits and no relief. This is a very common problem.
****Please follow this advice and I am 99% sure it will help.
We may need to make a food change, down the road - We can wait on that.
Please place him onto the NuVET WAFERS-
( allergy blaster and skin healer.....)
NuVET Plus -IMMUNE system Booster **** this is a must for dogs with Environmental or food allergies. ( And they give you a Guarantee).
LONG term - Just give 2 per day for the first 15 days : then, 1 1/2 per day very long term.
YUM YUM good, too.
HELPS to reduce the itch and allergies.
This is something he should be taking for a lifetime.
Call in and Ask for the 60 Day Guaranteed Trial offer : 1-800-474-7044
TEll them your are working with Pet Nurse Marie Peppers from Allexperts.
Holistic and NOT sold in stores** just thru Holistic vets and some breeders.
Here is the link - to the E-store

~~~ Flora Force ( you can find this in Local Health food stores: - ( PROBIOTIC ) give 1 per day for 3 months. ( HIDE in wet food or cheese?)
This will slowly get rid of the SMELL - yeast - and paw licking....Itchy Paws.
Helps the itch and reduces yeast.
Ask for the Nature's Sunshine product: see here:
http://www.mynsp.com/nuvetpetnurse/products/guide.aspx?stockNum=4080
~~~ Please get some TEA TREE Oil hot spot spray from the NuVET folks.
The spray would be great for the paws and in between , the the yeast areas of the paws.
Ask the NuVET folks to send some with your WAFER order:
This will help to heal the skin ( TEA TREE products )- they have a great shampoo, too.
We may need to put your boy on a grain free dog food such as: Innova EVO: Wellness Core or Merrick Before grain. ( we can wait and see how the other suggestions do first.)
Keep me posted!
I am here for you....
