Food and supplement which strengthens chins' immune system


Dear all,

You all know that the 'Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome' (SARS) is gettering serious in Hong Kong and lot of people died due to Pneumonia. Today, one of my colleagues who sit with me on the same floor was found to have SARS. Though I wear mask outside home and take shower and wash hands before play with chins, I still worry that I will be infected and pass the germ to my chins subsequently. Do anyone know any food or supplement which can strengthen chins' immune system?

I truley understand your concern. I had a very nasty flu and wondered if that Hong Kong virus is what I really had I was ill for 6 weeks. I was so afraid of passing sickness to my chins. From what my vet told me our viruses are not able to be passed to chins BUT the secondary bacterial infections we contract are transferable. The best way to prevent your chins from bacteria is washing before handling. If you are ill don't spend alot of time with your chins and do not kiss the little cuties either.
As for the supplement to build up the imune system. You don't need to fix what isn't broken. To much vitamins is dangerous so please be cautious and check with your vet before using anything.
I hope for you to keep good health.

Dear Barcode
I have been hearing how bad the SARS is in your country. I pray for this illness to be conquered and safety to you and your country.
With all Sincerety
