Question
Hi,
My name is Adam. I picked up my new family member on Friday from the
local Humane society. Poor thing. When she came in she had fleas, her teeth
were either shaved down or badly worn. She had heart worms. She had
intestinal parasites. She was older 6 or 7. She had not been spayed yet. I saw
her after her first treatments as she got better and I fell in love. The society
set a spay appointment. The spay was done and she was mine. That surgery
was as hard on me as it was her. The cone she has to wear hurt us both. She
is starting to eat slowly now. Thank god. Now I have noticed some other
things. She is still itching a lot. Even after the flea treatment. A few sections
of her body which I know were not like that before have become furless and
rather sore and rough from excessive scratching. Some parts even have tiny
mites of blood resembling a skinned knee. I know I was told that she was
going to be scratching for a bit longer. But, should she still be doing this to
the point of drawing her own blood? I feel so sorry for her. She has so much
going on. She has been through so much. What suggestions and possibilities
do you have for her itching? Is it just her flea treatment finishing its job? I just
feel bad for her. Surgery, treatment, being found alone on the street. What
happened to her? Please let me know. She is already my child so care for her a
great deal. Thanks.
Adam

Answer
Wow Adam!  I wish you were my DAD!!!  This is a lucky girl to have you as her new DAD!!!  Don't worry, we can fix her up.  I understand what you two are going through.

I have some suggestions for her care:

Please go and get her some Acidophilus 300 mg tablets.  Give her one per day in some cheese - ( hide it in something)
this is a great Probiotic for her skin and belly.  This is GOOD and needed bacteria for the gut.

Next, Let's get her onto some HOT spot Spray - This is an Excellent one made by NuVET Labs - Tea TREE Oil / HOT spot spray - Call NuVET now and order some / They will have it sent to you in 4 business days or less.  NuVET is not sold in stores - Only thru breeders and groomers - USE this Groomers ordering code - 81098.  They would be glad to sell to you with the code above.
This will give her relief and healing!
Remember - you can't find this is any store...

Next - Give this gal some Vitamin E (1) 150 IU per day if she is over 20 lbs.  
Under 20 lbs give (1) 50 IU of Vitamin E
Do this every day - again, only one per day  ..........OK?

Excellent for the skin, coat and general health
Vitamin E and the Acidophilus can be found at Walmart, Target or just about any store.

Last - ONE of the BEST things you can do for this gal is to get her onto NuVET Plus wafer supplements/ IMMUNE system Booster in a wafer.
Also, NuJOINT plus - to help prevent or delay Arthritis and pre-mature aging....
You can order them here-  NOT sold in stores
CALL Joan at 1-800-474-7044 EXT 265
Tell Joan that Marie sent you from All Experts and The Doggie Chalet Hotel - Give her the order code 81098.
Tell her about your new doggie kid.... Joan is a pleasure to talk to!
Tell her you want to start on the NuVET Plus , NuJOINT PLUS and the TEA TREE OIL hot spot spray.  
Ask her about the 15% off ON Auto-ship
Also, ask her about the MONEY back guarantee on the products.



I sure hope that I can help you and your girl.. Again, she is lucky to have you!!!!
Write to me in 30 days and let me know how she is doing.
The NuVET Plus wafer will cure the itching and skin troubles or YOUR money will be refunded


Thanks for your question!
