Natural treatment alternative for Pemphigus?

September 11th, 2007

My dog was recently diagnosed with pemphigus and is being treated with high does of prednisone and having a very bad reaction to this.

I would like to know if there are any natural alternatives. Her liver enzymes are elevated and I do not want to put her into renal failure. If she is to live I want her to have quality rather than miserable quantity.

Thank you

August 31st, 2007

I have a 12yr.old greyhound with an enlarged heart, heavy breathing when not in air conditioning but energenic when weather is cooler. Her appetite excellent. In the morning she seems fine but when humidity increases her breathing is labored.

Please help…we love her.
