We are 3 weeks into raw feeding.
I am sorry to report that our itching problem is no better, even worse.
Thanks to the knowledgable posters on this site - I am learning.
I am now convinced that our puppy has yeast due to a weakend immune system caused by over-vaccinating.
I've been to the regular vet 5 times, and most recently the holistic vet on Monday. He gave her prednisone.
Here's what I am doing:
Gave her the prednisone 1x day for 5 days.
Giving her 1/2 pill/day also for 5 days - I am at day 2 now
Then planning to give her 1/2 pill/day every other day
She has been on some sort of steroid for nearly 3 months. When we quit 'cold turkey', the flare ups are unbearable (for me to watch)
I have orderd Dr. Becker's probiotics
I'm giving her vinegar baths 1-2times daily as directed in Dr. Becker's video
She is still on raw chicken - nothing else yet.
She is getting a dog mulit from the holistic vet
I understand that while the steroid helps relieve the itching, it also encourages the yeast growth.
So...how is the best way to ween of these steroids... any ideas?
Thanks
I'm attaching a photo that I took this morning (it's not pretty).
