Meet May pet of the month Humphrey

Before

Skin problems can be amongst the most challenging cases that we see, and unfortunately they often need to be managed rather than cured.

Humphrey the basset hound has suffered with skin disease from an early age, which for a long time had been logically managed through triumph to adversity.  Living with the assorted soreness, itching, hair loss, ear infections and odour can demand a lot of sympathy and patience from an owner and is extremely unpleasant for the patient.

Although Humphrey had a hugely complicated problem list with his skin, with many interrelating factors making management difficult, it appears that the introduction of the most recent part of his novel treatment regimes has completed this particular jigsaw.

Humphrey has recently started a polyvalent vaccine course to desensitise him to a bacteria that has been a large contributor to his itchy skin, as well as a tablet, which helps to reduce inflammation, itchiness and irritation. We are extremely pleased that he is managed free of steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs.
