We adopted a very traumatized dog who was fear aggressive, his fear centered around men (and long objects like sticks). To my understanding, if he were to bite a person he’d have to be put down if he wasn’t vaccinated for rabies, so I went along with that one vaccine (and no others, despite the incredibly hostile and pushy vet).

It made him very itchy, to the point that he has destroyed his ears despite being in a cone all the time. We tried to veterinary treatments for this, both nearly killed him. Poor thing still itches all the time and only gets to be without the cone for walks.
BUY some brewers yeast (not the Torula yeast) and sprinkle a little in a dog dish. Not much, maybe about a teaspoon and see if your dog takes to it. Most will. Dont use a "fortified" one with added minerals etc...just the plain yeast powder) See if the ingestion of the B vitamins in the yeast, will help your dog's itchiness. My bet is it will. Then after that once a week of the yeast should do it to maintain.
I take it too. I have read that Brewers Yeast keeps ticks and fleas away. I follow Veterinary Secrets on Screw Tube and he talks about this. Also lots of remedies that won't kill your pet.
Thank you, I’ll definitely try that. Our dog eats only meat, no kibble, so one might think he gets enough B vitamins, but I’m quite sure he’ll eat the yeast. Thanks again for the suggestion, much appreciated!
If you can't find the powder in your basic health food store (not GNC) look for the tablets and crush them up. I think you'll be surprised how your pet likes it. They wont need it everyday but maybe once a week or so. You'll have to judge it. Some of us humans, its good for too but its not tasty, so you have to disguise it in good tasting juice....its a pain to get down but wait til you see how it makes you feel later. A lot of the B vitamins we buy are synthetically made in labs from who know what. The B you get from the REAL brewers yeast is natural (not made from coal tar or some odd petroleum product)......the vitamin industry has been compromised too, so you have be careful what you're taking to make sure its not something artificially made from some other industry's waste products. A fellow Substack writer Agent131711 did a DEEP dive into how B vitamins and Vit C are made artificially and it wasnt music to my ears. He did expose an industry we've trusted for years that is now owned by Big Pharma and China

It’s an evil industry.

is this the same as nutritional yeast sold at health food stores? if so, it's really good sprinkled on popcorn :-)
If a vet was pushy and aggressive to me in regard my animals well being, I'd just walk out.

Maybe ask him what to do about the itch.
Hope that helps. Poor baby abused doggy.
