Skin Tag and Itchiness

[LisaP]

Thank you so much. And I apologize, as I reread my post, I just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean that we haven't seen any benefits from the raw food diet, obviously there are numerous benefits that I have seen in all of my dogs and I will continue to feed it. I only meant that I didn't think she had been on it long enough for it to help with all of the plaque and tartar build up on her teeth.

I truly value all of the opinions, experience and suggestions that I receive from this group.

Thank you again.

You're very welcome, Lisa!

It is best not to be removing superficial growths unless they are causing great discomfort (rubbing cornea raw), bleeding profusely from the gum every time they eat, etc. Even then, good to try some internal treatment (homeopathy, acupuncture, herbs, etc) for as long as possible.

If the body can exteriorize the internal imbalance, it is best to leave them be. Dr. Hahnemann says never to remove them. Sometimes, for the comfort of the animal, when they are very old or treatments have not helped, it does need to be done.
