Tazar Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hi, Does anyone have any experience in treating Discoid Lupus Erythematosus using natural remedies. What do you use, is it just for outbreaks or all time to prevent or reduce them. It is for a GSD 2.5 years old, he has had it on his lips for about three months. Then a small bit on the edge of his nose and now it is all under his nose and up both sides. My photos are too big to attach...grrr Thanks in advance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussielover Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Keeping them out of the sun is important for control. Vitamin e and fish oils can be helpful as well, ask your vet for dose rates. Some cases may require medication initially to get it under control. Probably best to approach your vet about possible treatments. It's also worth trying 4 weeks of antibiotics as it can be hard to differentiate DLE from some types of infection even with a biopsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazar Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks Aussielover, he is having a biopsy tomorrow and has been on a long course of antibiotics. Been off them for the past few weeks. Does it need to be a special type of sunscreen or is baby stuff ok? Will check the dose of vit E and fish oils with the vet . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
