We just beat it to death about three months ago so we're off
schedule....but....<G>
The "KEY WORD" in this statement is of course "NORMAL".
What we should always concerned about is the ABNORMAL growth!!
Just once........I would love to hear if someone ever bred a bitch or a stud
with myco plasma at the ABNORMAL levels and got a nice healthy litter????
That would put this tri-montly discussion to rest. <G>
WHY the friendly bacterial flora levels become abnormal is what we need answers
on from the reproductive experts! Over use of antibiotics could be a part of
the
problem but I don't think so. I think it is lack of testing and the continual
spreading.
