proximity Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi guys, anyone else have any experience with their husky having DLE? We have just had it confirmed via biopsy, as we thought it was environmental until now due to it only starting when we moved house. Turned out it was just because she can get a lot more sunlight at the new place if she wants As fun as trying to get a husky to not lick topical cream off its nose for at least 10 minutes sounds, it does seem like topical immune-suppressive steroids are one of the most successful methods of managing it? If anyone else has had experience with it, how long roughly did you have to wait until you started seeing results? This obviously bothers her and im looking forward to hopefully being able to provide some comfort sooner rather than later :/ Here's the link our vet gave us so we could read more: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?A=2470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Sorry to hear your fur baby is unwell. I haven't any experience of Lupus but I do have a dog with inflammatory bowel disease which is another type of autoimmune disease. She's treated with regular steroid tablets to help reduce the swelling and bleeding in her bowels. They come with their own set of side effects and problems but the fact that she's still alive and with a good quality of life is the main thing. Sent via the power of telepathy.
