My 15 year old shih tzu has a chronic bacterial, yeast and black skin infection on her face and groin area. After several rounds of antibiotics and high vet bills I decided to stop medical treatment and treat her skin naturally. After each round of antibiotics were stopped her skin only got worse and the drugs were driving the disease deeper. Treating a dog's skin naturally is not an easy task! Her skin flared up again and I didn't know where to turn. I found DERMagic online and ordered the Skin Rescue Lotion and the Lemongrass shampoo bar. The lotion smells horrible however after just a few days I noticed that areas that were previously bleeding had scabbed over and were starting to heal. And after one week I noticed the black skin becoming rough and peeling off in some areas. I reduced the application to once per day and am now noticing a slow improvement every day. I spoke with Peter, the product specialist, and he recommended bathing my dog only once every two weeks for best results. Bathing too frequently can cause skin irritation and interfere with the healing process. Peter was extremely helpful and explained that healing skin takes time with natural medicine and patience will bring the best results. DERMagic pushes the disease out of the body instead of suppressing it which can be a longer process than alopathic treatment. In addition to DERMagic I've added a high potency antibiotic and colostrum to my dog's diet and she eats a home cooked diet. I believe the combination of diet and supplements are boosting her immunity and allowing DERMagic to work at its best.
