Sahara...UPDATE :( :(

I'm so sorry Sahara is not feeling well. I pray and hope the medicines work. *hugs*

My heart goes out to you and Sahara. My thoughts and prayers will be with you both.

There is a product on the market that I am going to be starting my dogs on today. It is called Immunocal and has been used by several people I know through my friend LeeAnn. Dogs with cancer have lived as long as 3 years on this stuff. It's the human form and is a powder you mix with yogurt or ice cream and feed it to the dogs. We are also going on it. I will add the letter i got from LeeAnn with the letter she got from her friend who uses this and has for quite some time with all good results. It has the internet addy that you can copy and paste into your search browser and read about it. Also changing from dog food to human raw food has made a world of difference in our babies. Monty used to throw up everyday and have the runs and that was after trying 3 different good dog foods. Now he no longer throws up or has the runs, their fur is soft, they are much more content, and just seem so much healthier than before. ( Except for Monty's leg which needs surgery ). You can read about the raw diet online. More and more people are putting their animals on it everyday and all are having great results. It's called the B.A.R.F diet.( Bones and raw foods.)
I don't mean to come accross as pushing anything, I don't gain from this info in any way. I'm just letting you know of some options that just might stop this problem your baby has.
Letter from LeeAnn
Hey Woman.

This is the email from my friend Stacey about this immune booster immunocal she wants me to get for Cappy. The dogs she is talking about are also Rotts.

You have to get him on a product that is available on the internet called "Immunocal". It is amazing and even Cedric had a huge increase in his bloodwork for the positive after being on it only one week. Please look into it. My girlfriend, Jennifer has Olivia's half sister and she developed a rare, aggressive tumour on her snout (inoperable of course). She is coming up on two years survivial and the vet is amazed....she's on immuocal. It is particularly good for pumping up the immune system. Cedric had lymphoma and it helped him. Even if cappy just has a bad infection perhaps this immunocal will clear or help to clear it too.



It gets delivered right to your house, and get the human kind, put it in ice cream every day......please please do this for your baby. I don't want to see him lose this fight either.....http://www.immunotecplus.com



My girlfriend in michigan had a dog with bone cancer, and he lasted almost 3 years on this stuff, he was studied by the Univ of Michigan small animal clinic (like Guelph) because he had been such a long survivor they couldn't believe it.



PLEASE PLEASE try this as soon as you can (don't wait and lose time)......I need him to be around for a long long time.



Hugs,

S.

Sending lots of healing hugs to your baby...Deb, Monty and Kiki
Get better Sahara.:)

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this news.:( Don't be so hard on yourself, you had no way of knowing the first vet was not a good, one, the good news is now you have one you like and trust. Keeping fingers and paws crossed that the new meds work and Sahara is soon on the road to recovery.

Is it sarcoptic or demodex mange?

It's chronic demodex mange. Her mommy was bitten by a snake while nursing the pups and gave all of the babies this horrible disease by lowering their immune system. Instead of selling the pups as originally intended (they come from an awesome line of danes), she had to give them away. They couldn't afford to medicate all of the babies (I think there were about 8-9 in the litter) so hopefully the other people that were able to adopt/rescue Sahara's litter-mates are having good luck.
