Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks Lena! =) The lil pooch is starting to improve. Its been complicated though. She's only 9 months old and is in heat now for the first time. So that means she has to be watched more carefully when she's outside (the other dogs have taken a liking to her), when inside she has to be watched constantly because she pulls off her underwear and then walks around making a mess. In addition to that she's got upset stomach from the doxy and has thrown up a few times. AND, her intestinal flora has been so disturbed from the doxy that she's got the runs and has been having a few accidents in the house. So lately she's been a handful, but she doesn't seem to be herxing anymore so i'm really happy about that! I am supposed to be giving her 100mg doxy three times a day, but i've been only getting her maybe two a day because my sleep schedule and her pill rotation arnt coinciding well. I know i have to start setting an alarm or something. Its crazy though, my pup gets 300mg doxy daily for 30 days, but my buddy who got lyme a few months ago could only get 100mg doxy from his doc for 14 days! If only we'd all gone to the vet when we got sick eh? Merry Christmas!

How's your dog doing? Be well, Léna Hi , I'm sorry, didn't mean to overwhelm you but i know the feeling. Here are the cliff notes. 1.You can try using an alkalizer such as the baking soda since its cheap. But if it doesn't seem to help much, or makes you feel worse then that means either you are not too acidic or you have ammonia that is reacting negatively to it. So begin with a little baking soda on an empty stomach. If you feel worse then its probably a good idea to then purchase the supplement online called K MAG KG by Source Naturals. Take K MAG KG for a week or so and then try the baking soda again and see if it produces better results. Both of these remedies are cheap and can be quite effective... .so in my opinion a good place to spend our few dollars. I hope that helps, but just keep throwing questions out here.

Hope you both make it through! ;-0 Cheryl Thanks Lena! =) The lil pooch is starting to improve. Its been complicated though. She's only 9 months old and is in heat now for the first time.

In addition to that she's got upset stomach from the doxy and has thrown up a few times.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi Thane,Glad to hear that she's improving. When I first started making kefir, my dog liked it, and it's great for re-establishing good gut flora. Far better than yogurt.I totally agree about vets being the way to go! They also don't get into the placebo effect with their patients. Merry Christmas to you, too.Be well,Léna Thanks Lena! =) The lil pooch is starting to improve. Its been complicated though. She's only 9 months old and is in heat now for the first time. So that means she has to be watched more carefully when she's outside (the other dogs have taken a liking to her), when inside she has to be watched constantly because she pulls off her underwear and then walks around making a mess. In addition to that she's got upset stomach from the doxy and has thrown up a few times. AND, her intestinal flora has been so disturbed from the doxy that she's got the runs and has been having a few accidents in the house. So lately she's been a handful, but she doesn't seem to be herxing anymore so i'm really happy about that! I am supposed to be giving her 100mg doxy three times a day, but i've been only getting her maybe two a day because my sleep schedule and her pill rotation arnt coinciding well. I know i have to start setting an alarm or something. Its crazy though, my pup gets 300mg doxy daily for 30 days, but my buddy who got lyme a few months ago could only get 100mg doxy from his doc for 14 days!
