2. Give your dog some homepathy therapy and use Thuja (30ccs) twice a day for the next week to help his body recover from the vaccine reaction.
3. Due to the adverse reaction, your dog's immune system has been weakened. I highly recommend switching to a raw dietand when I say raw, I don't mean the crap you can by at a pet store or all natural dry food. I mean RAW meat such a beef, venison, turkey, quail, rabbit. Blue Ridge Beef products makes and distributes raw dog food throughout the country.
4. Start adding a supplement to your dog's food that will help boost the immune system. Nature's Farmacy has some wonderful products.
Why do I recommend this? Because I speak from experience. My 5 year old Belgian Sheepdog had his annual vaccines in February. He had a severe reaction and lost the majority of hair on his face. The breed is known for mediated immune issues, and after losing my previous BSD to IMHA, I was not going to live through anything like that again. So I switched him and my other BSD to an all raw diet. Stopped all vaccines (except rabies and bordatella, which I would stop also if I didn't train in a boarding facility). My new Border Collie puppy is also on a completely raw diet. The results?
- The dogs have GORGEOUS, soft, shiny coats
- My boy has not had any immune related issues with demodex, hair loss, etc.
- Their teeth are as white as can be and no longer have bad breath or tartar build up
- My girl no longer has a sensitive tummy or disgusting smelling burps
- Stools are small and turn to white powder in 10 days
- They drink less water, thus, pee less too
The results have been so amazing that even my vet is considering switching to a raw diet. This evening, my dogs dined on raw venison with ground bone, pumpkin, coconut oil (which has SO many benefits for dogs), some green beans, which they love, their probiotic/immune powder, and a vitamin. They eat better than I do!
But they are COMPLETELY worth it. And cost comparison, it was around .25 more per serving. After seeing the results, it was the best decision I've ever made for my dogs.
Thanks. I’ll give it a read.
I did the raw diet for a while with my two Dandies. I loved it because there was no smelly gas and the stool dried up in the yard, turned white and went away. None of the soft messy stuff. However, I quit doing it because it was so expensive for 2 40 lb dogs and I’m too lazy to make it all myself. I still give raw meaty bones which they love. I highly recommend the raw food diet though.
Loved reading your post! We are also “raw feeders” and have seen some “chronic” problems clear up because of the stronger immune systems our dogs now have. We also titer. Always great to meet another like-minded person on this issue!!
