Hi,  I'm hoping somebody on champdogs will have good intuitive powers and be able to provide me with an answer.

My dog has been bothered with interdigital cysts lately and has had 2 removed in the last few months.  I was speaking to a guy I often see dog walking and he told me about a woman who uses homeopathy (he thinks but it may be something different) to treat them without resorting to antibiotics (as I am just now) or steroids (the next step).  Now, the problem is this...

The lady lives in Letham Angus (Scotland), he thinks she is German and called Bo or Beau and she might or may have in the past bred GSD's.  So on the basis of that extremely sketchy info does anyone know of her?  (maybe LindyLou or Christine who are from my neck of the woods).  I've searched the champdogs database and googled a few varieties of Letham/GSD/Bo.

ever hopeful someone will turn up trumps.

Wasn't there something recently in Jane Lilly's article in Dog World about Cysts? If I haven't used it on the floor for the pups I'll look it out. There is something nagging the back of my mind (yes, I do have one ;) ) If I find it I'll let you know.

I don't know the woman you are talking about. Christine, any ideas?

Oh, the Zandaam kennel woman?   Or she used to have the kennels?  Maybe that will help in Google?   Last I heard she was living near......now I've forgotten but it's off to the right offthe main A90 between Dundee & Forfar.

I'm sure she used to take training classes too.   Linda, I'm sure Gordon with Amber (Vizsla) used to go to her training classes but then it's contacting him???????

Ali, have you looked in Yellow Pages?

Ok, the chocolates can get delivered tomorrow morning as I'll be in....

I'm sure this is who you are after....

There is a homeopathic vet in Perth too, so don't despair!!!!!

Forgot about the Happas kennels. Didn't she sell up?

I have Gordon's address and phone number if it's needed.

woo hoo!  Thank you, just what I needed.  I'll get onto her and try to find another solution.  that would be great if I could get a summary of the article in dog world on cysts.  I knew I could count on y'all to come up with the answers.

I didn't look in the phone book as I didn't know what to look for - a german lady in Letham could be headed under anything. lol

thanks again lindylou and christine
