Dog with Staph

[Guest guest]

Hello Colleagues,

 

This is a veterinary case. The dog patient isn't mine, as I don't

treat animals, but belongs to a patient of mine, who has been

distressed since April over her dogs condition. She has spent

thousands of dollars so far and still isn't seeing results. I thought

I might get some ideas here.

 

11 year old Lab/Chesapeake " Sasha "

April 2007 Skin lesion on tail. Her regular vet. gave Tresaderm

topical to apply daily. Sasha's skin reacted by turning black. No

improvement. Given antifungal Shampoo to be used daily, Liquid Chlor-

Otic applied daily and 500 mg. of Cephalexin for infection. Vet

thought it was allergy related to tail gland. (She also had a rabies

vaccination at this time.) She continued with these prescriptions

through June with some improvement but not complete resolution. The

tail is currently still darkened with some hair loss. The vet

referred to it as a " rat's tail " .

 

Three months later she had a growth on a toe of her right front paw.

It was biopsied; negative for cancer. She was treated again with

Tresaderm and again reacted poorly, so it was discontinued. She was

put on an antibiotic for 2 more weeks, with no improvement. The

symptoms appeared on all four paws (redness, swelling, black goopy,

bad smelling pus). She started taking fish-oil and bifidis for immune

boosting. $2000 later she was then sent to a specialist. The

dermatologist determined it was staph, and put her on a higher dosage

of antibiotics (Simplicef 200 mg.for 6 weeks. ) She had also

developed a horrible vaginal yeast infection, with irritation,

redness and swelling. She was given Pledgets to clean the vulva and

toes. The Pledgets worsened the condition, and my patient now uses

baby wipes on Sasha. The vulva has mostly cleared, but is still

swollen and red just around the opening, and Sasha does quite a bit

of licking there, presumably it is still bothersome. She also started

Neo-predef powder for yeast infection.

 

After 3 weeks there is very little change with her toes, slight

drying of the pus, but it is still present, with redness and

swelling. My patient is concerned it might be MRSA. She is an OT

employed at a local hospital and is concerned that she is exposed at

work and possibly passed it on to her dog. Has anyone had experience

with this. I was thinking of a topical application of Huang Lian, Ku

Shen, etc... a damp heat and toxin formula, but as I said I haven't

treated animals before. Any ideas?

Staph is an endogenous presence on the skin of canines. If the dog is

having problems then the immune system is impaired. This is frequently a dietary

or other environmental problem. Check out SMDI.org or ellagic acid Dr. Susan

Western Medicine has only supressed and not even palliated this lesion.Vaccines

will lead to cancer if continued to be administered to a patient that is

obviously not well, especially if showing immune defeciency.I would make sure

the patient had the best organic nutrition and not commercial pet food as most

of that is crap.Find a TCVM licensed veterinarian off the www.tcvm.com site and

have the dog evaluated by a trained TCVM veterinarian.Once a TCVM diagnosis is

made the herbal formulas from Jing Tang Herbal can be prescribed, Wei Qi

Booster, 4 Paws Damp Heat, there are a few to choose from.

Homeopathically, the patient is showing both signs of growths from sycosis miasm

( can come from rabies vaccine) and of psora, so another way of treating the

patient is to find a qualified veterinary homeopath from the AVH website

www.theavh.org and have that modality used.The answers will not be found in

western medicine, and i would guarantee you that the longer that route is

followed the worse the patient will become and the smaller the bank account the

owner will have.

Good medicine uses the bodys internal abilities to heal itself and bad medicine

supresses and palliates, so far only bad medicine has been used.Unfortunately,

they are licensed to get away with that treatment as a standard of

care.Sincerely,Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology
