Question
-
Hi,
Our American Bulldog (Brian) is now 4years old. About one year age his front paws became swollen with sores. For several months we soaked his front paws daily in a green solution the vet provided. Brian’s paws stayed the same no improvement and they didn’t get any worst they just stayed swollen and sores that Brian would constantly lick. I changed his food to INNOVA EVO. Brian’s paws got worst and now about 3 weeks ago the vet injected steroids into his front paws this did reduce the swelling within a day and we followed up with pills for about 2 weeks. Brian’s paws cleared up a lot but now one week after the pills are done his paws are starting to swell again with open sores he doesn’t even want to walk down the steps. Again after the change over to the INNOVA EVO his paws were getting worst not better. Do you think Brian may be allergic to INNOVA EVO? And I also just read something you wrote about
“I would put Rocky on 2 NuVET wafers per day for the first 30 days and then drop him down to 1 1/2 per day...They break in 1/2 easy.
YOUR boy needs x-tra dosages - Don't worry - safe and natural!”
Any suggestions? We are taking Brian to a Dermatologist in a few days looking for help. We are so helpless and he must be in pain what can we do.
Thank You In Advance for helping,
Terry

bulldog swollen paws; allergies for bullie; steroids for bulldog;
Let me know if I can help anymore?  I am here for you....


Hi Brian and Family, I bet Brian has some severe Environmenal allergies rather than food allergies,  ( sure there may be some food allergies, too).
I would be glad to work with you all.  Yes, the NuVET and a number of other supplements and cleaning options will help your baby.
After you spend at least 500.00 at the Derm Doctor, you will find out what Environmental allergens are hitting this boy.  They will also let you know what foods he can't eat.

Let Me know what the test results are.  I will work with you on this.
Glad to help....  YOUR vet and DERM dr will offer you steroids and antibiotics.
Don't stay on steroids too long as they damage your boy's liver.

If you want to start the NuVET - go to  http://wwww.nuvet.com/81098
You are looking for the NuVET wafers - give 2 per day for the first 10 days and then 1 1/2 per day long term.......
