female canine urinary infection

Question
QUESTION: I have a six year old Australian Shepherd, frequently licking herself, and there is a brick reddish discoloration on her fur. Evidently it is a urinary infection, I think.

Is there a safe to use medication which I could try?

ANSWER: Hello Mark - The red discoloration may just be from allergies and her saliva.  Also, if you notice a strong smell it could also be yeast.  The vet can check her out and offer an antibiotic for a UTI.
Not sure what is going on with her:

YOU can try a few of my ideas:
all natural and safe:


Try your girl onto some Acidophilus ( 1 billion CFUs) - give her one per day for her skin/ and bacteria ( possible problem) - You can find this at any human ( health and beauty section) of
Walmart or Target stores.

Next, get some pure garlic powder and give her 1/4 a teaspoon per day into her food... ( this is a natural antibiotic)

Last - Please order some NuVET Plus - ASAP - this is not found in any stores, here is the link- ONLY sold by breeders and vets...

As we go, I may need to add a few more low cost supplements or oils to her diet.  Let's try the above suggestions first.

QUESTION: I am very concerned about the recommendation to feed her GARLIC.  She has proven to be VERY allergic to ONIONS.  She gets too weak to walk if she eats them.

Answer
Hi Mark - Garlic is fine in small amounts for most dogs.. I don't refer anyone to onions...
Garlic has been used for many years in pets and humans.

I would be glad to help with diet and supplements, after she has seen the vet... Just to make sure it is not a UTI ...

Best wishes,
