Actully I did not think abt thyroid, as he was loosing wt. I just put him on fatty acids, bayrocin, no steroids,kidspro food, and rantac. discussed with owner about food related allergy and advised them avoid the list of food and if possible change to Hypoallergenic from RC. Dog is better. yesterday I just tried on him Levamisole just to see whether it improves its immunity!!

try tinocordin (immumod) for immunity stimulation, its very good and effective. i have always wondered why vets ever use steroids on the skin, unless really needed. its the simplest way to disaster. would like the dog on griseofulvin 50mg/kg/day for 21 days with fat in the diet.

I had stopped using unnecessary steroids long back in the college days and been laughed at. I will try immumod. Is it a syp or tablet or injection? dose ?
