Hi natalie, I would dose your bitch inside and out with colloidal silver. It is a natural antibiotic: you could give a teaspoon twice daily by mouth. I don't know if you could do THIS also, but it would help: take one of the tubes used for artificial insemination, insert it into her vagina and flush it with colloidal silver. Do this for one week. (Colloidal silver is the reason I didn't get sick at the National--I take it everyday.)
