Irritation Around Dog’s Eye & Mouth

June 8, 2013

Hi Don,

You have a very cute dog! And in his short life he has quite the medical history!

Born August 2012

Vaccinated-Jan & Feb 2013 DHPP, BORDATELLA, RABIES
Neutered?? March/April?

Adopted April 2013

May 2013 Treated for Giardia

Now at end of May beginning of June he has broken out with a rash/lesions on his Right eye, Right side of mouth, and from the photo appears to have something on his Right ear.

I suspect he has Demodex mange. I am not sure why they are using an antibiotic ointment in his eye. The eye itself does not look red, it is the surrounding skin of the eyelids that are affected.

Please take him to a holistic veterinarian. There is a GREAT holistic Vet in Portland, Oregon, Dr. Bob Ulbrich.

Another resource for vets knowledgeable in homeopathy is AVH.org.

In the meantime, he needs to have MORE raw meat incorporated into his diet. Raw diet Check out Primal, Nature’s Variety, Darwin’s, or BRAVO!

Add some immune support to his diet.

1. Missing Link Canine Formula
2. Immuplex from Standard Process
3. OrthoMolecular Specialties, Mega C Powder

Problems that arise after vaccinations are considered to be due to ‘vaccinosis’. There are specific homeopathic remedies that are useful to treat this condition. The more you use antibiotics, anti-histamines, and conventional medicines, the more you will ‘suppress’ the disease, and in the long run the patient will become ‘sicker’.

Check out the book by Dr. Dooley, called, Beyond Flat Earth Medicine. Dr. Dooley is an M.D. and treats humans. But he describes and explains how homeopathy works, which applies to BOTH humans and animals!

Thanks for your suggestions. We plan to incorporate more raw food into his diet and have ordered the immune boosters you have recommended. I am glad to note that the irritations around his eye and mouth are improving. We appreciate your insights.
