My Irish Terrier Martha developed hundreds of small cysts from the nape of her neck to the root of her tail. Our vet had no suggestions for treatment unless they became infected, so we tried various remedies to no avail. At Crufts we visited Dorwest for toothpaste and noticed Evening Primrose Oil was recommended for ‘Skin & Coat’ and decided to give it a try. We are delighted to say that all her bumps have gone, the hair has returned and her skin is soft and supple again! We are continuing with the Evening Primrose Oil as there must be something in it that her system needs. We cannot tell you how pleased we are, as we could foresee that as she got older the condition would get more difficult to manage and would find her on continuous antibiotics to keep infection at bay. Our kind regards to you all at Dorwest Herbs.

This is interesting, our whippet Molly has had 3 cysts, the Vet took a sample and confirmed just a cysts. And because she took a sample, it then burst and disperse. The second on grew largermy husband a paramedic helped with the second by bursting. Third one she has is tiny. We think we would like to try the primrose oil to help prevent. Which one was used the tablet form or liquid? Rosie the other whippet has no lumps but she’s a couple of years younger than Molly, Molly is 6. And can I give to both and what other benefits . Many thanks
Hi Marie – normally we’d recommend to use our Garlic & Fenugreek tablets in such situations – they are are a licensed herbal medicine for the treatment of minor infections and other skin conditions. By giving a treatment dose for a month you will allow the product to build up in the system, you should hopefully notice a reduction in the cyst in this time and from then on you can use a maintenance dose on-going and if you notice another flare up you can go back to the treatment dose again. Please do give us a call is you have any further questions or queries on this issue, our advisor team are very experienced and are always here to help.
Hi I have a chocolate labrador who constantly suffers with cysts on his paws as the seasons change, He does have allergies to grass and trees and takes apoquel for this. Could you please advise what we can give him? thank you

Hi Elaine, To help with their allergies we recommend giving our two licensed herbal medicines the Garlic & Fenugreek Tablets and our Green Releaf Tablets. These are licensed to relieve the symptoms of a range of skin disorders from atopic dermatitis, allergies, pyoderma and eczema.
The Garlic & Fenugreek are also used very effectively to treat minor infections and so can also help with their cysts, given at the treatment dose until the cysts have completely disappeared. In cases where they recur regularly it is advisable to continue to give the lower maintenance dose as a preventative measure and this will considerably reduce the frequency of recurrence.
