She takes a small dose every night and when I suspect an outbreak is coming or she starts licking her paws I add a dose - just 1, and it's under control. If we hadn't found this drug we may have had to make a decision that we didn't want to make -the discomfort was just that bad. She has relief and we have our baby!
So glad for you and your pup that they came up with this medicine.
