Aloe vera juice - ok with antibiotics?

on the Hyperdrug site they are selling aloe vera juice , you add 1 or 2 teaspoons to your dogs food daily, i was thinking of getting some to put on petras food to help boost her immune system as she has mange again , shes on ceporex an antibiotic at the moment, do you think she would be ok on this with the antibiotic or should i see what the vet says?

I would check out whether aloe juice is safe to give to dogs.My reason is that on lists of plants that ARE poisonous to dogs the aloe vera plant is often listed.

Aloe Vera juice is safe to give to your dogs, I have been giving it to both of mine for a couple of yrs now, it will help with digestive problems condition of coat and general well being , I also take it myself.

A couple of years ago Hollie had a severe reaction to cheese, she suffered with bad colitis. Once she had recovered I was advised to put Aloe Vera juice in her water as it helps with digestive problems.

it may help it may not, but it wont do her any harm so worth a try.

the foreverliving gel is one of the best as itr is pure AV not like a lot of others that are not so pure

Thanx jackie, will consider it i think.:smt002

When my old Borzoi had her hysterectomy I was advised to put Aloe Vera juice in her drinking water as it promotes healing.

Yes lovezois , that was why i was going to try it for petra as the demodex has made her paws very red & swollen, it makes her keep trying to lick at them too , so have to cover her paws to stop her doing that. patra has demodex on her muzzle , inside her back leg also now. My vets going to speak with the previous vets that treated her b4 him.
