Question
Marie,
I have a 10 month old English Bulldog, every once in awhile she will break out in a little rash on her tummy and sometimes there will be small little bumps on her back; I have her on the Wellness Core Ocean food (dry), NuVet Plus vitamin, and doing 90 days of the Pearl Probotics, along with a Benadryl pill every other day (when should I stop the Benadryl??).  I have heard that I should add vinegar to her water and give her a vinegar rinse every now and then.  Is this correct??  And if so how much vinegar and what type of vinegar??  Also if I give a vinegar rinse, what type of vinegar and then do you rinse off the vinegar??  Thanks for the help!!!!

Answer
Hi Melissa, How are you doing on the NuVET ?  Did you add the Vinegar to the water?  
Give me an update:   mtnmom@gci.net

thanks


Hi Melissa,  You should be able to stop the Benadryl if there are no major hives or rashes.  
Yes, apple cidar vinegar is helpful.
