I have a copy that I can fax to people if you send me your fax number or I can email you a copy if you send me your email. I can tell you that it worked on my dog who has had fistulas for the last two years and she was on protopic for that length of time at $92.80 per month for the protopic. I took her off the protopic and applied "Desitin" a diaper rash zinc oxide 37% ointment that I got at WalMart for $7.95. I applied every night for three nights and her bum cleared right up. I have not applied it since and it's been a little over two months. I had my Vet check her out and he couldn't believe it - you would never know that she had it. The only thing I was told is that you have to watch to make sure that dogs don't lick too much of it. My girlfriends dog had a bad hotspot that she couldn't clear up and we applied the zinc ointment to that and it cleared up within two days. I swear by it.

Anne Does anyone out there have the last issue of the GSDC of Canada's magazine? There was a great article I think in that issue about the success people are having using Zinc Oxide for perianal fistulas...Also you can "google" the words perianal Fistulas and there are some great website out there for help...I used cyclosporine plus a sulfa antibotic when my dog had them...its very expensive but it did put him into remission.
