Add these supplements gradually, one new supplement every few days. That way, if something does not agree with your dog, you will know what has caused the problem. Overloading the digestive system of a dog with all new things at once is never advised. Vitamin C is NOT recommended for dogs with IBD.
Do not feed foods with artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. Try to limit exposure to pesticides.
Remember to check with your vet before administering any of the above supplements, as I have no way of knowing what other supplements your dogs may be taking, and if there will be any conflict.
Always check http://neuro.vetmed.ufl.edu/neuro/DM_Web/DMofGS.htm for the latest updates.
For those of you who may have seen that the dosages of Vit C and E I give to Joss are higher than recommended for the prevention program, my vet is a firm believer in the benefits of Vit C and Vit E. Joss has never had a bout with Pano, and his bones are good and strong.
* The DM prevention program has been compiled by Dr. Roger Clemmons, Associate Professor of Neurology & Neurosurgery, at the University of Florida.
Thank you, Dr. Clemmons, for your unwavering devotion to researching DM, and for all you have done for German Shepherd Dog owners, worldwide. We will always be most grateful to you.
