Hi all, this is my 1st time on here and I really need ur help if u can. We have a 6 yr old German Shepard who has just been diognosed with Discoid Lupus and has been put on a course of 18 tablets over a 24hr period. This is hard enough with both of us working 12 hr shifts either day or nights. But my main concern is the fact that these r rattling around his poor body. He has been on them 3 wks now and looks so poorly and dejected. We were wondering if there is anyone who knows of any holistic alternatives/diet that could help this disease.
We r hoping someone has a GSD who may have had this problem and may b able 2 shed some light on this subject.
Thank you all in advance.

This is a really difficult disease and can be really tricky to treat. Hololistic alternatives and diet and really only ever going to be in addition and not replace the immunosuppressive drugs you need to use to control the disease.
