You are most welcome, my parents have seven westies and a collie and the mother of our Westies has
Malassezia. She has had almost every
alternative remedy possible, but about a couple of months ago I ordered flaxseed oil for her. She has been getting about a teaspoonful in her feeds, alternating between daily and every other day. This is rich in
Omega-3, essential fatty acids. The best is cold pressed, as the oil is pressed without
heat or
chemicals. You can buy this from Holland & Barrett or perhaps you could try a local supplier. Brian Lamb, New Health Horizons, Thurso, stocks flaxseed oil. Whatever you decide make sure that it is
cold pressed, to aid the efficacy and help counteract the yeast, problem.
Below a link about Malassezia Dermatitis, but please keep in mind that the dogs shown have an
acute form of this dreadful condition, but at least it gives you an idea of how debilitating this can be for the poor animals concerned. Also supplied an interesting link about Flaxseed oil for Dogs & Cats. Hope this information will prove useful for you.
