While it can look scary, Panosteitis usually resolves on its own with rest and proper care. At Stokeshire, we’re here to help you support your growing pup every step of the way.
Breeders are increasingly turning to alternative deworming supplements to complement traditional methods, addressing issues like parasite resistance and potential side effects. Natural remedies such as pumpkin seed powder, food-grade diatomaceous earth, and herbal blends like wormwood and cloves offer a gentler approach to parasite control. While these solutions shouldn’t entirely replace conventional treatments, integrating them into your routine can enhance the overall well-being of your animals.
