It has some probiotic properties. Can't hurt. ^^^ similar to buttermilk which is used by racing trainers frequently.

What about switching her to Baytril? It's more expensive, but I know that Clavamox also upset Raisin's tummy and the Baytril was easier on her (plus, I think it the stronger antibiotic for UTIs).

Oh no...dear Mary...all our sympathy...Gidge was so wonderful

It sounds like blackheads to me. Depending on what your vet says tomorrow, you can douse a cottonball with astringent (or witch hazel) and just lightly treat it each night and see if that will clear it up. That helped Bull back when I first got him and he had that same blackish patch of blackheads (never turned green though. I'll be interested to hear what the vet has to say about that).

I think you need to go see the vet about a UTI... and then you could give the ACV LATER as a preventative. It won't hurt. My dogs get ACV occasionally in raw meals for digestion reason. I, myself, drink 2 tbls. a day mixed in water. There are a lot of "things" it is naturally helpful for. Again, GO TO THE VET. UTI = nothing to mess around with. edit: apology from miss bossy britches because I see you already ARE going to the vet. All I meant was that it shouldn't be used in lieu of a possible antibiotic.

Howie has age spots. Most definitely. I've checked him over for 7 years now and have seen them develop. They don't look weird or unhealthy. They are just "there".

Welcome! CTW BullHeaded sez "Hey there, 'nother CTW doggie! We iz the best!"

Ok, thanks everyone. I feel better knowing that your dogs all did well without the spleen. Any other anecdotes, please feel free to share.
