Question
Dear Beth,Opie now has his third infection and we have him back on antibiotics.I don,t understand why the vets don,t have a better way of finding out where the infection is coming from.They have taken blood and urine samples again.And now they are talking about an ultrasound.We are putting enzymes and Probiotics on his food as you suggested.It breaks my heart to see him so sick especially with his first birthday on Tuesday.If you can refer us to somebody who can help us with advise maybe on the internet,I would appreciate that.Thanks Again Mike

Answer
Poor Opie.... An ultrasound is a normal part of trying to track this thing down. Around here, my vet would refer you to Cornell University if he was feeling unsure or frustrated. I don't know what your closest vet school is, but they always have the specialists that may be required for your poor baby.

PLEASE keep me up to date on how he is making out, and I'm so sorry I can't be of more help.

-Beth
