Suki also had some tummy troubles, diagnosed with colitis
under one year . I was beside myself, this little girl with a bad tummy and now
she was losing her hair. I took her off
all regular dog food and started to cook her a diet of sweet potato and
chicken, which was formulated by US Davis veterinary hospital in California,
and also added a supplement. Slowly over
time her tummy improved and she started to thrive. She couldn't even eat
regular doggy treats so I cooked my own beef liver which she loves.
As the months went on her hair loss became worse leaving her
with patches al over her back. We were referred to a dermatologist who
diagnosed her with alopecia. After many special baths with specialized shampoos
Suki’s skin was getting worse. There were constant sores on her body from the
hair loss and she was on topical and oral antibiotics much too often.
I knew there had to be another solution. Eventually all the
hair and the skin on her back just peeled off. My vet prescribed all types of
lotions and potions, but nothing would even moisturize it. Her skin was raw and dry, so we started with
cortisone creams for the sores.
I had already begun to do some research on alternative vets
when a friend suggested Dr Haghighat. He put Suki on a homeopathic remedy and
told me to rub coconut oil and vitamin E on her body a couple of times a day.
No more harsh shampoos, only plain Baby Shampoo and diluted. In literally no
time the rough skin turned into soft
healthy skin with fewer and fewer sores. Suki became herself again, more
playful.
We went away this past Christmas and left Suki with my
brother who continued the oil and Vitamin E spa treatment as I like to call it.
When we came back a huge patch of hair had started to regrow on her back……we
couldn't believe it!!It literally happened overnight! She still has some bald
patches but we are hopeful the hair will grow back and we've also noticed her
tail is beginning to fill in again.
In the meantime, over this experience Suki has accumulated
quite a wardrobe of t-shirts, she's a very well dressed little girl!
We are so thankful that Dr Haghighat had come into our lives
and will continue to care for our precious Suki."
