One of my bitches has this. Has had it for three years. She is six. She has to take Metranidazole(hope it is spelled right) twice a day for the rest of her life. She started out at 500mg and now is down to 250mg twice a day in her food. She eats Pro Plan Sensitive Skin And Stomach and is doing great. Amy Greenhut Justrock Shepherds Leopard Tortoises P.S. Metranidazole is a very inexpensive medication. I am very lucky that it works for my baby. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
