I never made a blanket statement and said that none of them work. Is it the right one? Is it needed? Is it enough? How do we determine this? Where is the scientific evidence? Does the same one work...

LOL, these pills are huge! Over an inch in length. I would know for sure whether or not he swallowed it. I've never had an issue with hiding my dogs' pills in their food. I prefer not to pill a dog...

I need to talk to her about that but wanted to do some research first. I'm a little hesitant especially since pre- and pro-biotics are often not as helpful as we think they are. Studies show that...

We are less than a week in and things seem to be looking up. Sam's increased energy has not gone away. The boys play more, especially in the morning, and he is just more active in general. We won't...

Sam update!

Finally got the meds in this week and worked with my vet on a getting a proper dosage on the Tylosan antibiotic. It has been a process. The Tylosan comes in powder form so I have to...

More email:

Sorry I missed you. He’d have to be exposed to estrogen daily for a while so that’s off the list.


His maldigestion profile test came back as consistent with small intestinal...

Chronic diarrhea though? He doesn't have that.

Update via email. Sounds like it could be SIBO afterall. Hard to tell. No estrogen cream or anti-convulsants here.


Hi Julie,
I called and left a message and wanted to quick touch base with you...

I've posted before about Sam and his coat looking poor, gas and poop eating. Initially we looked at thyroid and a complete panel done and his tests were perfect all around, so the vet suggested food...
