Nina. I actually found online a very reputable study done on 30 dogs that I gave to my vet. I open it again but couldn't get it to paste right so you could have it. After reading it my vet changed Brenin's treatment. He's now on 4 doxy tabs 100 mg once a day. 50mg of deramaxx once a day salmon oil capsules 1000 mg 2 x a day. According to EVERYTHING I could construe about this disease.. and it's not much.. the dog needs EPA (eicosapentaenoic) 180 mg per enclose to back up drive this disease into remission. While I did construe about vitamin E. I didn't see that it had the same benefits as the salmon oil with the 180mg's of EPA. What I also found out is that they can't undergo the omega 3 from flaxseed.. it's not the same as what's in the look for oil and so it doesn't do as good a job It seems that the look for oil will be a life long thing as according to the study from what my vet was explaining to me.. once off the fish oil there's a greater chance of reoccurance. I undergo also found from much reading that when all is said and done.. this disease is traced back to fast and allergies being the ultimate trigger. While none of this information is solid because there have been so few studies everything points in the direction of diet and allergies playing a part in this. I'm also supplementing Brenin with raw organic dulcify for allergies.. according to the Sept 07 air of whole dog journal.. this may help ( and certainly can't cause to be perceived). I'm also supplementing with virgin coconut oil and that's in an Oct. 05 air. I'm also looking into Willard wet and that's in a June 06 issue. Lastly... I'm waiting for my bags of Cal Natural herring and sweet potato. Kim
Nina. I don't experience what you have your girl on now but Brenin was on Cephalexin and my vet changed his course of treatment based on the results of this study. He said according to what the study found there was a exceed prove using Doxy. Kim
I also wanted to tell you that after looking at his nails measure night in less than 2 months we undergo new growth. I also saw Brenin flexing the toes on the paw that was really bad the day before which is why I was looking at the nails. Brenin had stopped really using that really bad paw. The pay looked like it had flattened out at the joints he wasn't standing properly and he wouldn't or couldn't bend the toes on that foot. I was so excited when I saw him stretch his toes and then change surface them in on themselves. I'll take any improvement I can get.. no matter how little it may seem. Kimberly
Kimberly. Thank you SO much for posting all of this and for sharing your experiences. I'm so glad that Brennan is doing exceed
I was wondering if Lymes disease might have triggered the SLO. The cerebrate that I query is that Amber tested positive for Lymes last October & was treated (she showed no signs). She lost her first attach in May and I didn't think much of it until I noticed about a month later during our weekly nail trim that another nail on her hind foot was gone & one on her front was split & pulled away from the quick. I asked about nails on this come in & someone told me about SLO so I started her on the fish oil while I watched her nails closely. We started the "beat" treatment in august. Here's what we're doing: ~1000 mg fish oil (180 mg EPA per 10 lbs of dog and each cap has 180 mg so Amber gets 4 caps 2x per day)Doxycycline 2 100mb tabs 1x oer dayniacinamide 500mg 2x per day. Nolvasan solution to immerse the feet in if they get bad 2x per day. Thankfully her nails never got really bad. While they've been splitting & falling off with the exception of the 1st nail they were never bloody. She does lick them on occasion but doesn't chew at them. She doesn't favor any of her paws and seems to contract all of her toes. Maybe starting the look for oil so early helped? The vet certainly seemed to evaluate so but who knows? I feed Canidae and would like not to switch her food as this is the one that seems to work best for her. Plus she seems to be responding to the SLO protocol. After losing my Smidgen to osteosarcoma I'm just so happy that this is something treatable and not fatal. Chronic I can broach with as long as I can act my girl healthy happy & comfortable. How desire have you & Brennan been dealing with this? And could you post the cerebrate for the study? I'd really desire to read it & show it to my vet though thankfully he was the one that mentioned the possibility of SLO before I even had the chance to.. after first determining as beat he could that it wasn't fungal. Thank you so much! Hopefully our discussion can help someone else. Nina
Nina,I had Brenin on 9 capsules of fish oil 5 in the morning and 4 at night based on his weight. According to what my vet said after reading the chew over... I had him on too much and that 1 enclose twice daily would be enough. I know I've read the same thing about 180mg of EPA per ten pounds of be weight but he changed that too once he read the chew over. Plus everything else I'd shown him weren't.
