Blackwatch Feed Program - Systemic Yeast / Fungus Overgrowth

This diet has several major components that work together to resolve the yeast / fungus problem over time. Be patient, it took some time for your dog to get in this condition, it will take some time to completely resolve the problem - 3 - 6 months generally, some longer. You will start to see some changes within the first month and the first two weeks are the detoxification period and frequently they will get worse before they get better due to the detoxifying response. I am not a fan of steroids, but it it mean a little Pred will keep them comfortable during this detox time, ask your vet about it. It should only be used under a vet's care and directions and it is not suitable for some dogs ie: diabetic cases for example.

A Three Part Process To Correcting Yeast Overgrowth

1. Check your pets thyroid *Ask your vet to run a T-3 and T-4 thyroid test done on your animal. It is my experience the majority of dogs with systemic yeast infections are also dogs/cats that need thyroid medication.
   
2. Change the diet - see below
3. Using the Yeast Removal Kit

This is a feed program to help return the dog to a normal condition after having problems with a systemic yeast infection. Yeast/fungus overgrowth can cause many health problems, the most obvious problems are red, itchy, and inflamed skin, ears, lips and toes. For a comprehensive article, read Systemic Yeast Infections located at this website as well as my articles on yeast as it relates to (Allergies and Bloat).

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

The example below is of a dog using my program who had a 2-year long systemic yeast infection. The photos show the BEFORE and AFTER or changing to my Feed Program for Systemic Yeast.

HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM

This feed program is used by many of the top breeders in the USA and overseas. This program has 20 years of success and you must follow this program exactly because each component has a job to do - deleting one of these components compromises the integrity of this program. Do not add other foods or supplements to the program without discussing it with me first. Do NOT add your own raw meats, calcium supplements, I will provide raw options that are safe from pathogenic bacteria and parasites and balanced in their calcium and phosphorus ratio.

This program will be divided into 3 parts:

Section A. - supplements, and where to purchase

Section B. - description of supplements - what they do

Section C. - support information - for your dog

Please print out for future reference and provide a copy for your veterinarian, if they have any questions they can contact me personally for assistance. Please note, I am not a distributor nor a retailer of any of the products used in this feed program. I have used them for years and test fed on my own pets and in some instances, I have done laboratory tests to check quality and analysis and also done my own long term feed trials on many litters. I do not recommend companies that are unethical in their business practices so that is why some of the foods you see on the market are not on my list of better foods. Just because it is listed in Whole Dog Journal, does not mean it is a good product. They ONLY read labels and a label only gives you 50% of the true picture when it comes to pet foods. This information is not to be used in lieu of veterinarian advice, diagnoses or treatment.

My preference for yeast issues is the Natural/Holistic Eagle Pack line of Pet Foods

Eagle Holistic Senior - 26% protein 10% fat - this has more protein and less carbs which is what you want for yeast situations.

I choose Eagle because all products are made with human grade/organic ingredients,a multi-protein source, not grain based, yogurt cultures (probiotics) digestive enzymes, prebiotics, glucosamine HCL for joint support, high quality sequestered minerals which are critical for proper growth and no bone diseases, no ethoxiquin, no BHA,BHT, only naturally preservative, vitamin C and yucca and balanced Omega 6:3 fatty acids. This is the ONLY dog foods ever tested on giant breeds and it was done on several litters before it became available to the public. It has the longest track record for giant breeds of any food on the market. I directed the feed trials on this food 18 years ago as well as the Large and Giant Puppy food feed trials in 2002 so I know these foods work. Eagle owns their own USDA/Aphis approved plant.

To purchase Eagle Dog Foods:

Go to their website http://www.eaglepack.com

DO NOT SOAK KIBBLE AND LET SET, OR USE HOT WATER ON YOUR KIBBLE IT WILL DESTROY THE INTEGRITY OF THE NUTRIENTS AND PROBIOTICS - YOGURT LIKE CULTURES ON THE FOOD.

2. Ultra Oil - Balanced Omegas - 3-6-9 - are necessary to help repair coat. You need a balanced product so you do not unbalanced the omega ratios in the Eagle Holistic Senior. Purchase online from Dr. Wagner's www.firstchoicenaturals.com

---

3. K-9 Ear Solutions - When there is yeast in the ears, there is yeast systemically..the yeasty ear is the tip of the iceberg. Most vets will send you home with an antibiotic that only takes care of the secondary bacterial infection and does not kill the yeast itself...so it returns in short order. THIS one works!! www.firstchoicenaturals.com

---

4. Joint Supplementation - Yeast dye off and other toxins settle in the joints and there is stiffness and what feels like arthritis. This supports the joints and helps with mobility. This is a product for life. I have used Flexicose joint supplementation with great success on my dogs. They ship overseas as well. For more complete information and ordering go to this website: Flexicose

Options: For Variety - Meats - Fruits - Vegetable

I use Eagle Holistic canned dog foods* for variety (beef, chicken, liver, lamb, duck, fish, puppy). I mix a couple of tablespoons of canned meat with tepid temperature water and make a gravy. *Do NOT use grocery store brand of canned food they are full of grains, preservatives and 4D meats (dead, diseased dying and disabled) and they give the dogs stinky gas and are full of unhealthy fillers. NO homemade concoctions of meat/rice combinations that you make up at home, they are very unbalanced in their calcium and phosphorus levels and can cause growth problems.

Linda's Very Veggie Soup for Variety - 2 large cans of chicken or beef broth - (low sodium for heart or elderly dogs- or homemade). Add LOTS of veggies - green beans, wax beans, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and couple cloves of garlic. The idea is to use this as the variety 3- 4 times a week.

Variety - After The Yeast

Once your dog is back to normal (3- 6 months) and the yeast levels are in control and you want to introduce a raw component you can top dress with one of the HONEST KITCHEN - an organic dehydrated raw meat /fruit/veggie mixe. I use about 10% of this in combination with my Eagle kibble. Please do not use this during the yeast treatment because we want to limit the amount of grains/fruits and certain veggies.

The Honest Kitchen dehydrated raw dog food is what I use to provide a 10% raw component to my dogs Eagle kibble. It is balanced in calcium and phosphorus ratios which are very important in growing and elderly dogs!

I use the EMBARK which has a raw organic turkey, fruits and veggies and sometimes I will use PREFERENCE, which is strictly fruits/veggies and herbs.

EMBARK 29% protein - 16% fat - Organic Turkey, Flaxseed, Potatoes, Celery, Spinach, Carrots, Coconut, Apples, Kelp, Eggs, Sesame Seeds, Bananas, Cranberries, Rosemary.

PREFERENCE: 12% protein 5 % fat - Alfalfa, sweet potatoes, cabbage, celery, apples, spinach, organic kelp, coconut, bananas, zucchini, and honey.

One- 4 lb bag will make up to 17 lbs of moist meat/fruits and veggies and if used to top dress your kibble you can see it goes a long way. The Honest Kitchen dog food and Eagle Pet Foods are endorsed by the Whole Dog Journal.

To order call 800-937-1104 ~ and to order online go to www.firstchoicenaturals.com

THE YEAST REMOVAL KIT

To order The Yeast Kit: www.Nzymes.com or 877-816-6500 and Yeast Kit Instructions - print out and read!!

Program Components:

Nzymes - Dietary Enzymes - in pet treats or granular (multiple pets)

Nzymes - is Dietary Enzyme in a chewable healthy pet treat or in granular form. Nzymes provide the body with the right nutrients to allow the body to make the chemicals necessary to detoxify (clean out) the body and repair itself. Nzymes are from sprouts (food) so they do not conflict with diet or any medications. I have used the Nzymes for 20 years for my animals and I take the human product and have seen remarkable changes our health. By incorporating Nzymes into the diet, you are putting back the "living component" into the modern processed and cooked diets. This gives the body the tools it needs for repair and good health.

Website to order : http://www.nzymes.com/ - 877- 816- 6500 - 8:00-6:00 PST

Ox-E-Drops - Ox-E-Drops is clear a safe liquid that will kill pathogens: bacteria, fungus and virus. An added benefit is that Ox-E-Drops Drops does not kill the good bacteria of the gut and helps to encourage the growth of friendly bacteria needed to supress yeast and fungus. I believe Ox-E-Drops is very important component to a diet in the possible prevention of bloat and systemic fungus infections, toxic and leaky gut syndrome, because if it's ability to help keep the proper pH balance in the gut which is important in breeds that have a tendency to bloat.Ox-E-Drops can be use diluted (1 cup of distilled water + 1 teaspoon of Oxy-Drops) for a solution to clean out ears, eyes, to spray on skin.

Tincture of Blackleaf - a natural way to kill off yeast (candida albicans) and reduced it back to normal levels.

BacPakPlus- probiotics/digestive enzymes - BacPakPlus is specifically designed for tough digestive problems such as yeast or giardia. It is several beneficial yogurt-like beneficial bacteria and digestive enzymes to get the most of the dogs/cats diet and to crowd out the yeast/fungus overgrowth and replace it with beneficial flora and fauna normally found in a health gut.

Other Helpful Info:

Fleas - Heartworm

People ask me what I use for these problems. I use Interceptor as a heartworm preventative and for flea and tick problems I use a topical product- either Frontline Plus or Advantage, Advantix or Frontline products. I do rotate a different one each year. Because these are not systemic products, I feel a bit better about using them and because the dogs/cats and my self are also on Nzymes, which detoxifies the body, I am comfortable with using these products.
