After trying and discarding the first solution which was prednisone, in combination with an expensive topical ointment to address the scaly patch on his nose, and the second less extreme approach which was twice daily doses of niacinamide, vitamin e gel caps in combination with doxycylline and that expensive ointment, we found that the best solution seems to be MSM and vitamin E caps added to his food (my 12 year old german shepherd mix eats once in the am and again in the pm). If we see any sign of scaling or flaking on the affected nostril we break open a vitamin E gel cap and squeeze the contents onto the spot. This has worked like a charm, with absolutely no recurrence of the lupus and no negative side effects. Good luck.Replied by Yvonne (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 11/18/2009
I would just like to know what the 'MSM' in 10/16/2009 Kim from Fullerton's reply to a query from someone about lupus in dogs refers to. Can you help. Thanks Yvonne.
EC: MSM is the acronym for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane. Read more about it here: https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/MSM.html

I havn't experimented very much, but my beloved dog had a severe outbreak years back, I treated him internally and topically with colloidal silver, and in 2 weeks the outbreak was gone, and there was no scarring. Now as he has gotten older, his lupus flares occasionally, I just spray his nose with silver and put some in his water bowl, and it goes immediately into remission. Just puttin in my 2 cents! Good luck and hope your pup gets better!Replied by Sunnyapril (Santa Fe, Nm) on 12/30/2011
I was wondering how much colloidal silver do you give your dog in their water and also how much do you give by mouth?Replied by Ed Jaurequi (Anaheim, Ca.) on 09/07/2016
