One of my rescue dogs was an abused/neglected runt of the litter and has always had a compromised immune system due to that.
She suffers from break-outs of demodectic mange as a result.
[all dogs “have mange” but stress/diet/seasonal changes/no apparent reason can cause it to overwhelm their immune system and actively manifest...it’s *not* the contagious kind of mange]
We spent thousands on her over a 3 month span for expensive oral meds, medicated shampoos and ointments but got no results at *all*.
In fact, she got even worse.
I found it by accident and three days of that stuff and she looked like new.
One “testimony” said that their dog’s hair grew back over night.
I thought “Yeah. *Right*” but God’s truth, my dog had peach fuzz the next morning on her bare spot.
I’ve never seen anything like that cream and I keep spare tubes of it on hand at all times.
Oddly enough, it’s a simple sulfur based cream like my gramma made out of sulfa blouses on the farm.
The old ways are often the better ways, I reckon.
Holy Toldeo Batman~ That really was a miracle for your pupster.
Oddly enough, my friends Lab is a rescue. A sweet beautiful rescue that she adopted from the Lab rescue she volunteered for.
And someone else that I know, has a cocker spaniel that has hardly any hair and the skin where the hair/fur used to be is seriously like elephant skin. No one can figure what’s going on with that dog but she’s not in any pain, is not miserable except with spring /summer allergies ( Benedryl helps with that ) so maybe I’ll mention this stuff to them.
A lady that has one of my pups went right to the vet dermatologist to see what his problem was, instead of going to the general practitioner vet she’s used for over 20 years because all they do is the process of elimination ( cut corn out of diet , give bath in tea tree shampoo etc etc ) not to mention hundreds or thousands of $.
That 500 bucks at the derm immediately gave diagnosis.... allergy to DUST MITES ~
As soon as they did a few things around the house, and bought some de-humiditizers ( spelling ?? ), the dog after 2 years has never been bothered again by it. Basically outgrew it.
Any time I hear of a dog that has “allergies” , I immediately advise people to get to a vet derm to go straight for the “heart” of the matter instead of fooling around with their general vet practitioner.
I mean why not go to one or two appts to a vet derm and get it right straight the first ( or 2nd ) time, versus repeated expensive “maybe” treatments at reg. vet......
Have a great day FRiend ~ May you be Blessed many many times ~
Please, what is a sulfa blouse?
