Ester C during times of illness, stress, or concerns of flu - feed for 1 week max.

Olive Leaf and Pau D'Arco always kept on hand - anti viral, anti fungal, and anti bacterial so great herbs to feed when needed. Always feed with food to avoid upsetting stomach.

I am a big user of herbs so use a variety of them for various needs and situations - too much to go into here however.

could you pm me about anti fungal and bacterial. storm gets skin infections and am trying to help him without antibiotics.

thanks

Canine influenza is very rare compared to human flus and consider our own flu shots and how limited they are - each year experts are guessing at the flu strain to include in a given vaccine - and I am always amazed at how many people go along with injecting this stuff into their bodies, instead of just boosting their immune systems and working to prevent the active flu in the first place.

This is always the best course with your immune deficient Berners - boost their immune systems rather than assaulting them!

Good luck with therapy - a great thing to offer!

Hi,
It is good to hear a vet occasional not promote everything that pharmaceutical companies manufacture. My gut was telling me I didnt need this vaccine but on the flip side of that, when you here people telling you that your dogs can die from this flu, of course it makes you think about it. I agree with you and will continue to boost their immune systems with supplements. I do enjoy the Therapy visits and the people we visit get so much from it. Ive been doing it with each since they were a year old and had finished their schooling for it.

Vaccines are very important. They are the one of the great gifts we can give our dogs.
