Paula, I don't know about using DMSO. However, IF the infection is systemic and it's coming out through the skin-have you considered that since the dogs drank CS non-stop, perhaps the beneficial intestinal bacteria may be depleted? If so, that will allow the yeast to proliferate.
Good luck.

Both dogs have been drinking straight, low ppm EIS free choice for at least a year. They are raw-fed and no vax. Ordinarily that means no yeast problems so I have to question the diagnosis. But, assuming she's right, how can I kill the yeast? My understanding is that EIS isn't as effective for fungal problems as it is for bacterial and viral problems. If this were something like nail fungus, I'd add DMSO to the EIS for penetration. I don't think I should do that in this instance - right? I don't want to drive the problem into their skin if it is just on the surface. If this is some sort of on-going detox, it seems like the oral EIS should have handled it by now. I still don't want to waste it if it isn't going to work. This isn't isolated areas, it is the entire dog in both cases. My 3rd dog is not affected and has the same diet, same everything as the other two.
