twofangs Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think my Nyla baby has a zinc deficiency. Goofball can’t sit still for a picture, but she has a sore on her nose roughly the size of a quarter that has been bleeding. In August, she had a grand mal seizure. I took her to the vet and they diagnosed her as having epilepsy. Now, today, I have found a sore on her nose that I think is linked to zinc deficiency and I also believe that is what causes her seizures... my local vet is clearly not an expert on the matter. Does anyone have any input or have a husky that has zinc deficiency? I changed her diet back in August, but clearly it may not be enough. I ordered a zinc supplement called Nutrazinc and am waiting for it to arrive... any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
