Vitamins are very important to your dog’s health. Their function is to help the body repair itself through cell reproduction, bone growth, nerve function, energy and amino acid metabolism, blood clotting, aid in vision, and much more. A prolonged deficiency in any of the vitamins can cause health challenges from dry skin, fatigue, and vomiting to more serious problems like seizures, heart and nerve diseases. In most cases, just choosing a variety of quality food sources will give your dog all the vitamins he needs to live a long happy and healthy life. Let’s take a look at the two different types of vitamins: Water Soluble (All the B Vitamins and C), and Fat Soluble (Vitamins A, D, E, and K)
Water Soluble Vitamins
Let’s talk a moment about water soluble B vitamins which are very important for a healthy nervous system, aiding the body in healing, and helping to convert food into energy. Signs of deficiency could be anything from weight loss, poor skin and coat, nerve damage, anemia, and heart failure. B vitamins are unstable and are destroyed when exposed to heat, they are also lost from the body when stressed, and since they can’t be stored, they are flushed through the system quickly. These vitamins include: thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, folic acid, cobalamin, and biotin. Vitamin C can be manufactured by the dog and supplementation is not necessary. However, aging and dogs under stress can benefit from having some extra C added to their diet.

pet’s age: 7YEARS 9 MONTHS
pet’s sex: FEMALE
previous treatment:
Antibiotics, Ultra sound, xrays, labs.
QUESTION:
My female maltese is bleeding from her vaginal area. She was found to have no infection and her ultrasound on her bladder, kidneys, and abdominal xrays show nothing remarkable. I was told to give her antibiotics to treat a possible infection not showing up in the tests but she has been on them for 6 days and still bleeds. She is not showing ant discomfort and is playing, eating and acting just fine. She has no pain upon urination or when she moves her bowels. She also has no other area of bleeding. I am quite concerned. What suggestions might you have? She is not licking that area and the outside of the area is not swollen or irritated.

Dog’s immune systems are complex and their major function is to watch for and than defend against any type of foreign invasions that do not belong in their body. There are several natural treatments and supplements that can help your dog with these tasks.
There are a few misconceptions, however, about dogs immune system in that they are not naturally born with it; it must grow and develop as they grow and mature. In fact, several diseases and conditions can and are passed down to puppies as they are left to fend for themselves.
The immune system to be fully operational must recognize any type of foreign substance such as viruses, bacterium, or several types of pollen both natural and manmade. It is divided into two different sections depending on how specific their particular functions might be. These two sections are referred to as the innate and the adaptive immune system.
