QuestionOur American Staffordshire Terrier has many skin problems including itching, redness, tenderness, etc., and it's been recommended to give her Silver Shield and/or Omega 3 and Omega 6. Can you please tell my if these are good options, and how much or how often to give these to her? She is a spayed female, approximately 3 years old, weighing around 65 pounds. She was rescued this summer from a puppy mill (the shelter found her covered with mange, hairless and having just delivered another litter!).
Thank you!

Hi Terry - this is what I refer my client to .... that have problems like your Staffie kid...
Flora Force:- This works Wonders!!! ( stops the itching and pinkness)- Stops the Hot spots:
Good for the Humans in the family, too! ( get rid of yeast / great for allergies )
A Probiotic is a must - Flora Force - give 2 per day ----After a month go down to just 1 per day: ( you can open capsule and just mix into food.

IMMUNE system Booster -
Silver Shield: liquid - another great product that I take myself each day
Anti-Biotic ( Natural) and Anti-Fungal - good for everyone - Humans and Pets:
SILVER SHIELD (18 PPM) (4 FL OZ) - Give 1 tablespoon ( 2 ) x per day for 1 month....then, just 1 tablespoon per day
( for another month)
YOU may want to get 2 bottles of this - they only sell it is 3 oz
bottles...
