I've been battling excessive itching/scratching on two of my dogs for
over a year and am getting nowhere. I finally had a vet come to the
house. She took multiple scrapings and swab samples. This was a vet
intern and she was not prepared. I had to provide the Q-Tips which
were by no means sterile. She also appeared to be about 14. Her
diagnosis is yeast on both dogs' bodies and in their ears. Their ears
are clean and always have been so she had a hard time getting a
sample of anything out of their ears.
Both dogs have been drinking straight, low ppm EIS free choice for at
least a year. They are raw-fed and no vax. Ordinarily that means no
yeast problems so I have to question the diagnosis. But, assuming
she's right, how can I kill the yeast?
My understanding is that EIS isn't as effective for fungal problems
as it is for bacterial and viral problems. If this were something
like nail fungus, I'd add DMSO to the EIS for penetration. I don't
think I should do that in this instance - right? I don't want to
drive the problem into their skin if it is just on the surface. If
this is some sort of on-going detox, it seems like the oral EIS
should have handled it by now. About the only thing I haven't tried
is dousing them with EIS. Previously I didn't have enough to do that
but I can now make a gallon at a time. I still don't want to waste it
if it isn't going to work. This isn't isolated areas, it is the
entire dog in both cases. My 3rd dog is not affected and has the same
diet, same everything as the other two.
Suggestions?
