macoduck Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'd say yes. I just did a continuing ed credit on the topic of fungi and infections and clostridium was mentioned. Wished I'd saved the article but I've already tossed it. I'll check to see if someone at work still has a copy. Quote Freshy (Droopys Fresh), NoAh the podenco orito, Howie the portuguese podengo maneto Angels: Rita the podenco maneta, Lila, the podenco, Mr X aka Denali, Lulu the podenco andaluz, Hada the podenco maneta, Georgie Girl (UMR Cordella), Charlie the iggy, Mazy (CBR Crazy Girl), Potato, my mystery ibizan girl, Allen (M's Pretty Boy), Percy (Fast But True), Mikey (Doray's Patuti), Pudge le mutt, Tessa the iggy, Possum (Apostle), Gracie (Dusty Lady), Harold (Slatex Harold), "Cousin" Simon our step-iggy, Little Dude the iggy ,Bandit (Bb Blue Jay), Niña the galgo, Wally (Allen Hogg), Thane (Pog Mo Thoine), Oliver (JJ Special Agent), Comet, & Rosie our original mutt.

Batmom Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Which Clostridium species? It's possible a dog could get it from a nursing home, but most likely to be overgrowth of dog's own native Clostridium flora, due to other digestive upset. Quote Star aka Starz Ovation (Ronco x Oneco Maggie*, litter #48538), Coco aka Low Key (Kiowa Mon Manny x Party Hardy, litter # 59881), and mom in IllinoisWe miss Reko Batman (Trouper Zeke x Marque Louisiana), 11/15/95-6/29/06, Rocco the thistledown whippet, 04/29/93-10/14/08, Reko Zema (Mo Kick x Reko Princess), 8/16/98-4/18/10, the most beautiful girl in the whole USA, my good egg Joseph aka Won by a Nose (Oneco Cufflink x Buy Back), 09/22/2003-03/01/2013, and our gentle sweet Gidget (Digitizer, Dodgem by Design x Sobe Mulberry), 1/29/2006-11/22/2014, gone much too soon.

macoduck Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I agree with Batmom, it would interesting to know which Clostridium is giving Lexie a problem. http://www.cdc.gov/Features/Clostridiumdifficile/ http://forum.dog.com/forums/p/94630/754791.aspx http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14658717 http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090507101820.htm http://www.dogs-info.net/html/Health/2010/1122/Clostridium.html this page make take a while to load: http://secure.aahanet.org/eweb/images/aahayc2010/pdfs/ScheftelInfectionControlGuidelinesForTherapyDogsCats.pdf here's a good one: http://www.wormsandgermsblog.com/uploads/file/M2%20C%20diff%20-%20Owners%281%29.pdf (Rschultz, I think the above links will help you more than my cont. ed. paper will.)

greyhead Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 There have been several threads on Clostridium on Greytalk. Quote Mary with Jumper Jack (2/17/11) and angels Shane (PA's Busta Rime, 12/10/02 - 10/14/16) and Spencer (Dutch Laser, 11/25/00 - 3/29/13).
