Has anyone suggested or tried Acidophilus?
Perhaps just some plain yogurt, topically and/or orally.

Subject: Fw: Dusty's condition

I had a call today from a gal that has a female from a litter that I 
co-bred.    She has had on-going
problems with this girl since August/04.     I have never encountered a 
situation such as this, so I
told her that I would go to the List as the Listers usually have an answer 
for everything.   I asked her
to email me just what has gone on with this bitch and it follows.
This girl is almost seven - was spayed as a youngster and never had a 
problem until just recently.
These people will do whatever it takes to make their girl comfortable once 
more.   She is a sweetheart,
and truly does deserve that.

Thanks for any info that is out there.

Hi Sylvia,


The problem with Dusty's vaginitis started in August, 2004 - symptoms 
generally are a swollen vagina, smelly discharge, and lethargy.  Dusty does 
not lick herself.  In August, 2004 she was given ampicillin for 2 weeks.  
This didn't clear up so in September, 2004 she was seen again and her dosage 
for ampicillin was increased and she took that for 2 weeks.  This didn't 
clear things up.  In October, 2004 she was given baytril for 2 weeks.  Then 
in November, 2004 the Baytril dosage was increased and she took that for 2 
weeks.  Her infection never cleared up.  Finally, in December, 2004 she 
underwent exploratory surgery to rule out tumours.  The vet didn't find 
anything during the surgery.
Dusty now has another infection and we are at a loss as to what her future 
treatment should be.  The vet has suggested a referral to a specialist in 
Calgary or Saskatoon.  Do you have any suggestions?  Thanks. Corinne.
