My stepson's pitbull puppy (9 months) has been determined to have a low immune system that was inherited from the mother (breeder has been notified as per vet not to breed any longer).
The puppy has had problems with mites for a long time. He's been given baths, now on medication and more baths needed to try to resolve this problem before it gets worse. Vet said it could come back because of his low immunity.
He now got bit by maybe a spider and broke out immediately and his eyes were almost closing. Vet had him put on Benedryl and if condition doesn't improve by this morning, he has to go to vet.
Does anyone know of any supplements that can be given to improve the immune system in a dog? We really want to help him. Sinder (puppy) is so sweet and it just seems like this is something for life.
Thanks for any help.
