Alternative Medicine for Pets/NuVet Plus vs Temaril-P for bulldogs;

Question
I just started my senior bulldog, Nina, on NuVet last week.  I stopped giving her the Temaril she was on for a couple of months, about 3 weeks ago and her skin has some hot spots and pink areas.  How long does it take before the NuVet will start working for her skin and coat?  Should I also be giving her a probiotic and if so, what kind do you recommend?

I feed her Nature's Balance - Grain Free - Sweet Potato and Fish.

Thank you.

Tracy

Answer
Hi Tracy and Nina;  So glad you are using the NuVET Plus and a good Quality food.
The Temaril-P steroid drug should be only stopped with your Vet's help.  Most of the time you would taper Nina off this drug slowly reducing the dosage over a 2 week period.
NuVet does take a few weeks to get a good blood level as it is Natural; Most folks will see results with NuVet by the first month.  

I would like to work with you and Nina from my private e-mail or by telephone:
I do need to talk with you about Probiotics and shampoo;

Please call me at :   803-424-2312  ( Marie Peppers)  or e-mail me here:   mpmaltese@gmail.com

Let's talk about more options for adding to Nina's program


talk to you soon.
