Lupoid onychodystrophy (SLO), also known as onychitis, is believed to be an immune-mediated disease characterized by the loss and abnormal regrowth of nails. My suggestions are as follows: since this condition is believed to be immune related our Immune Balance is a good choice. I would also suggest Omega-3 Fatty Acids to help control inflammation and contribute to nail health. Consider providing Collagen that contributes to nail strength and flexibility. The natural Cell Salt Silicea #12 helps cleanse the system and is a major constituent of healthy nails. Provide our Daily Multi Plus as your dog's foundational supplement. Lastly, we suggest feeding a whole food diet, raw or cooked, to make sure your dog is getting sufficient nutrients to support his optimal health and we provide some suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog. Be patient as it can take a number of weeks for improved nail health to become evident.
