  My vet ,after a complete check of my bitch, (400 bucks..ouch) says
her thyroid is normal, 
mycoplasma level is low, The vet sees no problem but told me she is
willing to put her on 
anti-biotics until she comes into season...my vet stated all this to
me on my telephone voice 
mail...my question is, and I will ask her tomorrow, if all is normal
why should I put her on 
anything, much less anti-biotics?...and this is a very good
reproduction specialist Vet!...I "be" 
very very confused....its tough to be a dog breeder.....Ed"

I'd definitely ask her that question.  I'd also ask her how many kids
she has in College or about to start College....  I'm not a vet, but
antibiotics shouldn't be handed out like dog treats.  If the
beneficial Bacteria are killed off, you could end up with a Miss on
the Breeding, or worse, it might set the stage for a major Infection,
such as pyo.  I figure "If it ain't Broke, Don't Fix It."
