I have a friend with a lab who had a problem with lupus. The nails fell out. Since I believe lupus lowers the immune system, the dog was put on colloidal silver, taken internally and applied topically. This built up the immune system and treated the areas too. Cheryl Chamberlain from Tobin Farms West (in CA) has EXCELLENT colloidal silver. (Yes there is a difference.) Good luck.
