Candida Albicans

by Tara

Thank you for providing this information to those of us who are distressed about the health of our dogs.

Our son has a 3 year old blue nose pit bull. Her name is Fetty. Sadly, she has had 2 TPLO surgeries in the last 8 months... November 2018 and April 2019.

Over the past several months she has come down with symptoms that I suspect are the result of candida albicans. All 4 paws are a rusty red color and she licks at them a lot. She has a red rash on her under belly and some itchy sores under the pits of her front legs.

Fetty is our 22 year old son's dog. We get to care for her occasionally, when he is out of town.

I have not wanted to take her to the vet for this problem because I didn't want to put her on more meds. It makes sense to me that we can treat her situation with healthy food and supplements to rid her system of the yeast overgrowth. But how....?

Thank you, again, for sharing your wisdom. I look forward to hearing from you.
