Has anyone had experience in the use of diatomaceous earth for flea, tick and or worm control in/on dogs ? I just received a 5 pound bag of food grade diatomaceous earth.

The following question is no longer valid. My dog's case/condition has been taken to a specialist. If you have concerns of the same symptoms and there is no explanation with the usual urine anaylisis and blood work, consider educating yourself about a condition called SARDs. It is somewhat...
