There are things you can do to compensate, giving SAM - E, and Milk Thistle, for example. I highly recommend you find a holistic vet near you and take the dog in, see what that specialist can suggest.

I know nothing about the breeds being mentioned, nor asthma in dogs. Do you think a raw diet would help sort this out?

A tiny drop of anything coming from a cow will set her off in a horrid way after a day or 2 after she ate that tiny speck of a drop. She'll throw up red blood and will poo red blood. If left un attended it'll be huge amounts of blood coming out both ends until her inside kill themselves. So its very serious for poor Digi.

Once I put Digi onto raw (over 4-5yrs ago), she rarely has an outbreak, and doesn't react as aggressively to cow (just gives me more time to spot the issue & treat it at home /her vet). It'll still kill her if left untreated, but she doesn't need to go anywhere near a vet 99% of the time as its treatable at home ( /her vet).
