Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it.

Wizard was diagnosed with SLO a few months ago. He has to take 10 medications a day. I have tried hiding his pills in everything I could possibly think of, and he's gotten to the point that he knows the pills are hidden and spits them out. My question is he loves raw ground beef....I've given him a few little bites before, and I think he would take the pills with that. Is it safe to do that? Please help I'm running out of ideas. The antibiotic he has to take cannot be taken with any dairy products. Thanks for any help.

Wizard who is 6 yrs old, was diagnosed with SLO 2 months ago, by a vet dermatologist. Prior to his diagnosis he lost three toe nails. Two of the nails bled so bad we had to take him to the e vet, because it was late at night when our vet was closed. The dermatologist has him on 2 doxycylcline 100mg twice a day, 1 vitamin E 400iu twice a day, 1 fish oil capsule 1000mg once a day, rimadyl if needed for pain. The dermatologist visits (2 so far) were $500.00 each, which VPI insurance won't cover because SLO is an inherited hereditary disease. So needless to say our vet will be monitoring him from now on. The dermatologist said he would have to take this medication for the rest of his life. About a month ago he started licking his left front paw, I ordered some special greyhound socks to cover his foot so he can't lick it. he has a small ulcerated area on his foreleg. The dermatologist said this might be related to SLO, and put him on another antibiotic in addition to what he is on, for a secondary infection. Wizard is seeing our regular vet on tuesday, so we'll see what she has to say. By the way Wizard has not lost a toe nail since he has been on all this medication. I hope everything goes well with Daisy.
