Personally, I do test for Mycoplasma et al via vag cultures, but never thought to do it a month or more prior to the season, nor was I aware of the need for 3 tests in a row... regardless of what we think, none of us knows everything about everything.. <g> we can always learn something.. even from the "old" discussions.. > Sue Madlung - Shadowacre Reg'd German Shepherds > http://www.shadowacre.com/future.htm Updated Dec.19./04!!! > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Doctrcorgi@xxxxxxx > To: stormygsd@xxxxxxx > Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2004 8:57 PM > Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: question on mycoplasma testing > > > Sue, thats why I sai I try to start the Medication about 2 weeks before I think their season will start....Some times I will wait till they come in and start the three week treatment . > > Chuck Kruger > ============================================================================ > POST is Copyrighted 2004.
