Amy, I have used colloidal silver (which looks and tastes like water) for the dogs and me for years. It is a natural antibiotic. Hugs to Nichole. Penny in NC The Farm Dog Forever -----Original Message----- From: Amy Greenhut Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2013 11:35 AM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Advice Please Nichole who is 12-1/2 years old has had blood in her urine for about three weeks now. I took her to the vet and she was put on Cephlexin for 10 days......after 2 days of that I called the vet back because the medicine really upset her stomach and she would not eat. They switched her to Cipro. She was on it for 10 days. Been off the medicine a week...took some urine to the vet yesterday and had it checked.......still blood in the urine. This vet wants to see her again but they cannot fit her in today.........is there any other suggestions as to medication or anything natural that I can give her to make this infection go away.........this vet is not impressing me........need to get my girl better. She is acting fine and eating good but will just squat in the house and urinate because she cannot hold it.......I was thinking that it was her age but they say there is still blood in the urine......any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
