Question
QUESTION: My Maltese is almost 7 years old. She has always eaten the same food and had the same treats. A few months ago I noticed that the hair on her back was becoming very thin. Then I noticed some scab-like sores on her back and tail. I think she is allergic to something but I don't know how to find out what she is allergic to. I took her to the vet and he changed her dog food and gave her an antibiotic. Do you have any other suggestions for me?

ANSWER: Hi Leigh - Glad you did see the vet - I will help you with some Nutritional supplements and vitamins.  The vet doesn't help or know much about nutrition and herbs:  
Follow my instructions.... I work with 1000s of pet parents on a monthly basis...
We have had great luck with the following:

1.  Add some olive oil to your dog's diet - PURE olive oil - just 1 teaspoon per day mixed into the food.

2.  Vitamin C ( 250 mg ) of ESTER C -  JUST (1) per day for the next 20 days and then go to (1) EVERY other Day.... long term.
Very safe!
Great for healing and infections....

3.  The NuVET System :
NUVET PLUS          
 *  Independently tested and  
recommended by leading  veterinarians

Call and order the 60 count bottle of NuVET wafers for 39.00 ( ask them about the 15% off - Must call in for the discount...)
Tell them order code 81098 and that PET nurse Marie Peppers sent you ...)
This is not sold in stores / sold thru Holistic vet offices and some breeders/ groomers - Holistic Folks love Natural NuVET Products.
The also make a POWDER from of the NuVET Plus
I would like your Maltese to take 1 per day for 30 days and then you can try going to just 1/2 per day.  My maltese only takes 1/2 per day.
I always like to start off with a full wafer for any maltese... YOU can't overdose this is all natural and safe.  This is not a drug.....

QUESTION: The vet put her on Science Diet - the duck and potatoe version. She doesn't really like it but she will eat it if I put something on it. I will definitely try the suggestions you made! I have started giving her Omega 3 pills everyday too. I heard this will help with her coat??

Answer
Maltese allergies ; How are you doing now?
Please give me an up-date.... Thanks


Yes, an Omega 3 oil will help with the coat but Also, JOINTs and legs, hips...
Please call the NuVET folks and order your NuVET Plus
As far as Science diet - we should change that over because it has too many junk fillers in it.
Check out SoJO cooking- My maltese loves the GREEN Bag of Grain free SoJo - I just add cooked meats like ground lamb or ground turkey.
