PEMPHIGUS FOLIACEUS- AN AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION KEY POINTS:

• Natural Immunotherapy is an effective option for canine autoimmune conditions of the skin
• The Immune Modulatory effects of the Veterinary Immune Tabs are often noticeable within 3 to 4 weeks

Patient:

Troon Age/Sex/Breed: 9-year-old male Australian Shepherd

History:

Troon presented as restless and itchy, with severe dry crusts and ulcers on the bridge of the nose, and hair loss on the rump and groin. The facial lesions indicated pemphigus foliaceus, an immune-mediated skin disease characterized by an inappropriate immunological attack against one of the normal layers of the skin.

Diagnostics:

The owner declined skin biopsies and preferred trying some natural therapy first.

Pemphigus Foliaceus Autoimmune Condition Therapy:

The veterinarian recommended Vet Immune Professional Tabs, and after roughly 30 days of supplementation, the nasal ulcers had improved dramatically. Troon continued to take Vet Immune Professional Tabs, and at a reassessment 6 months later, Troon’s condition was nearly resolved.

Patient: Zoe

Age/Sex/Breed: 9-year-old spayed female Golden Retriever

History:

Zoe had been having some nonspecific respiratory symptoms along with some loss of appetite and lethargy. Zoe had experienced significant weight loss, weighing only 63 lbs compared to 76 lbs the previous year.

Diagnostics:

10/25/2005 – Chest and abdominal x-rays revealed a cranial mediastinum “kink” in the trachea, indicative of a thoracic mass. There was also evidence of a cranial abdominal mass approximately measuring 3″ by 5″. Zoe also had an extremely low white blood cell count. Further diagnostics, including ultrasound and biopsy, were declined.

Therapy:

The owners selected the treatment option of starting high-dose Vet Immune Professional Tabs as an immune enhancement therapy to reduce tumor load by up-regulating the immune system.

Follow up:

Zoe’s owners continued the Vet Immune Professional Tabs but didn’t schedule follow-up appointments.

03/2/2006 – Zoe was reevaluated after one year of taking the Vet Immune Professional Tabs. X-rays showed no evidence of the previous chest and abdominal masses. Additionally, according to the owner, Zoe had gained 19 pounds in four months, increasing from 63 to 82 pounds. Zoe appeared to be in excellent health with noted improvements in activity level, hair coat, and eye appearance.

Mass: Ovoid-shaped

Patient: Mikey

Age/Sex/Breed: 12-year-old neutered male Boston Terrier

History & Diagnostics:

09/23/06 – Mikey was presented to the local emergency clinic for evidence of severe back pain and inability to climb stairs. Radiographs revealed mid-spine intervertebral disc disease and an ovoid-shaped soft tissue mass in the ventral mid-abdomen, centered slightly to the left of the midline and likely arising from the caudal body or tail of the spleen.

Blood work revealed a mildly elevated WBC and borderline anemia.

The mass was approximately 7.5 cm by 4.8 cm in dimension. Wispy soft tissue streaks in the umbilical fat of the ventral abdomen also indicated that the mass was most likely hemorrhaging. An abdominal ultrasound confirmed a spleen mass, and exploratory surgery was scheduled for a future date.

Follow up:

09/26/2006 – I examined Mikey 3 days later. His back symptoms were improving with the therapy prescribed by the emergency clinic. We decided to delay an exploratory for the splenic mass and started Vet Immune Professional Tabs.

10/24/2006 – Reassessment and repeat radiographs dated 10/24/2006 revealed a dramatic reduction in the volume of the splenic mass—now approximately 3.0cm in its maximum dimension. Due to the tremendous success in shrinking the tumor, we decided to delay the surgery and continue treatment with Vet Immune Professional Tabs. In addition, there was noted improvement concerning the spinal disc disease.

Update:

Mikey lived another wonderful two years while on Vet Immune Professional Tabs. The owners were very pleased.

LYTIC BONE LESION KEY POINTS:

• Natural Immunotherapy is an important adjunctive therapy for destructive bone lesions.

Patient: Cleo

Age/Sex/Breed: 9-year-old spayed female Greyhound

History:

08/05/2002 – Cleo presented with firm swelling of the left front leg. Radiographs revealed a destructive bone lesion. The local radiologist suggested a probable lytic bone tumor. Fungal infections are rare in this region; no apparent draining tracts suggest a bacterial infection. Cleo began a treatment plan that included administering Rimadyl and Ramaekers Veterinary Immune Tabs. A surgical biopsy, full diagnostic blood screens, and an oncology consult were declined. Cleo’s owners only used the Rimadyl for three weeks.

12/07/02 – Cleo was reassessed approximately three months later and appeared to be doing very well, with only mild limping. Radiographs dated 12/07/2002 revealed that the lytic lesion in the lower radius was regressing.

Follow-up:

03/15/2003 – Radiographs indicated progressive healing was taking place. Cleo could run at full speed and appeared in excellent physical condition. We continued to monitor the case, and radiographs performed on 08/23/2003, 01/02/2004, and 04/17/2004 all showed progressive improvements. Cleo died from unrelated causes in 2005.

IMMUNE-MEDIATED ISCHEMIC DERMATOPATHY KEY POINTS:

• Natural Immunotherapy can help to modify or suppress the immune response in dermatitis cases
• Natural Immunotherapy provides another option for clients to address allergic or immune-based skin disorders

Patient: Sallie Age/Sex/Breed: 7-year-old Pomeranian mix

Prior History

Sallie is a 7-year-old Pomeranian mix. Her previous veterinarian first examined her in May ’07. She had a history of chronic ear disease, chronic periodontal disease, and constant paw licking. Her prior vaccine status was recorded as current. She initially responded well to a low-dose oral steroid/antihistamine combination medication. A re-examination in December 2007 revealed a progressive otitis externa and generalized itching. A dental prophylaxis and biopsy of the ear flaps were scheduled.

Diagnostics:

A Tissue Biopsy of the ear revealed a condition called Cell-Poor Vascularitis. This is an ischemic, immune-mediated dermatopathy.

Therapy:

Pentoxyphylline (Trental) therapy was started on 2/08. The initial response was fair. New ulcerated lesions of the feet and face developed. The addition of injectable corticosteroids seems to help the dermal inflammatory response.

Follow-up: Immune-Mediated Ischemic Dermatopathy

12/08 – The pentoxifylline and corticosteroid therapy was providing a declining response. It was decided to take another course of treatment.

02/10/09 – At that time, we started the Vet Immune Professional Tabs along with hypoallergenic canned food. Within two weeks, she began showing decreased facial and ear-flap inflammation. The pentoxifylline had been previously discontinued, and the long-term corticosteroids were tapered down and stopped.

03/10/09 – Sallie is gaining weight, feeling perkier, and getting a healthier hair coat. Most importantly, her extremely painful, irritated, and scarred ear flaps are markedly improved without any topical therapy. She still has some mild, ongoing, itchy dermatitis.

02/10/09: Starting therapy.

02/10/09: Starting therapy. Right ear: Notice torn AND folded
ear flap margins, hyperpigmentation, redness, and scale.

02/10/09: Starting therapy. Left ear: Notice scabs, crusts,
and scales.

02/10/09: Starting therapy. Left ear—notice torn ear flap margin,
very sensitive and painful!

02/23/09: After two weeks of therapy, the right ear has
decreased crusts, scale, and redness and is less painful.

02/23/09: After two weeks of therapy, the left ear had
decreased crusts, scales, and redness and was less painful!

03/10/09: After 4 weeks of therapy, the left ear continues to
improve. Decreased scabs and regaining healthier skin coloring.

03/10/09: After 4 weeks of therapy, this Pomeranian mix is
gaining weight, and the hair coat is beginning to shine.

Assessment: Immune-Mediated Ischemic Dermatopathy

Natural immunotherapy is a safe and often very effective alternative therapy for autoimmune skin conditions. The focus is on first supplying the broad array of nutrients required for proper immune function, as supplied with the Veterinary Immune Tabs, and then allowing the active immune ingredients to calm or balance an out-of-control immune system. I like to use the Veterinary Immune Tabs as adjunctive therapy for many types of allergic dermatitis.
