Question
QUESTION: I have a 2yr old deaf white bulldog who has always been very sensitive w/allergies. We feed him orgins organic chicken & veggie. Working great considering at 6mths old he was limping & since he's been on this food he runs! Amazing. I feed him metamucil w/food cause of him sensitive tummy and give him liquid glucosamine. I have tried everything for his folds, as soon as he seems to be getting better they start acting up again and become very painful. I have used desitin, drying powder, witchhazel/aloe w/cloth,baby wipes then soft cloth to dry folds, malaseb wipes, we use malaseb & aloe & oatmeal shampoo bout every 2 wks. I backed off doing 2x day cause felt it was irritating. Just not sure what to do, or what combo is the best? I am an aesthetician that has sensitive skin w/allergies myself and am just desperate to help my bully feel better and get these folds under control. Please help

ANSWER: Hi Molly - Let's start your bullie kid on some Flora Force - this is an excellent probiotic that will clear up the YEAST in the folds.
I am sure it is an overgrowth of yeast.
Nature's Sunshine's Flora Force - 2 per day for 10 days and then 1 per day long term...LOW cost and all natural.

As for the folds - place some PURE corn starch in the folds - after you have cleaned with a unscented baby wipe.  Place the corn starch in your hand and then use a q-tip to pat it into the folds.  Do this 1-2 x per day - Keeps the folds nice an dry.

NEXT ***********  PLEASE try the NuVET Plus - This is an Immune system booster to help to fight off the YEAST and allergies.
SKIN and Coat healer....
Can't get at any pet store: must be ordered here:
They give you a 60 Day money back guarantee...
I would give your boy 2 NuVET wafers per day for 30 days and then go down to just 1 1/2 per day - long term....
NuVET Plus is just like a treat... it is Natural and Holistic.

QUESTION: I forgot that i also feed 2x a day w/food...RX biotics (rx vitamins)Do you think i should continue this as well as starting the Flora Force? I will order flora force today, thanks so much. Will keep you posted. I appriciate the info

Answer
Yes, you can start with the Flora Force probiotic and the NuVET natural wafers right away.... Don't do the vitamins that you have been using.  Switch over to the NuVET wafers - they guarantee results in less than 60 days... MOST folks see results on the Flora Force and NuVET within 3 weeks or less.

BEST wishes!!!
