Dog Immune System Disorders

How can anyone get immune system cancer when that is the part of the body that should protect us from disease?

To understand how disease can happen in this part of the body, its important to look at the organs and components of this protective body system and how they work. You can find this
at: What is the Immune System?

Dog immune system disorders can only happen if

• it is inherited by unhealthy parents, or
• environmental toxins, food toxins and medicine, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs build up. (Ever read the side effects of medicine before you give it?)

When these toxins in the body build up faster than the body can deal with them (some are expelled while others are stored), toxic waste builds up inside immune system cells, killing them and thus devastating the immune system.

So how would you know if your dog has an immune system weakness? We all have noticeable effects from the bacteria and viruses we come in contact with sometimes. However, if your dog seems to be constantly taking medicines and rounds of antibiotics, he can use some help building the immune system. Here are some guidelines.

• Allergies can be a sign of an impaired immune system.
• If a puppy needs 4 courses of antibiotics the first year of life, he needs some help.
• If an adult dog needs antibiotics twice in one year, she needs your assistance.
• If your dog needs preventative antibiotics to decrease the number of infections, the dogs body is sending you a strong signal for help.
• If your canine develops unusually severe infections that started as common infections, her body is screaming for help.

So, as you have guessed, antibiotics weaken immune systems. Of course they are needed sometimes, but afterward, boost the dogs immune system.

Here's an article about improving this system through the four basics of, incoming; outgoing; exercise and canine supplements. It's called: Boost Dogs Immune System.

For specific supplement recommendations, see How to Boost Immune System With Canine Supplements. Kind of a who, where, what and why page.
