what do you feed? - Page 6

Glistening skin, my dogs live til 14-15, I haven't had a stillborn puppy in 6 years until my girl got sick, cured my dogs allergies, allows your dog to digest more nutrients, protection against diseases, infection, preventative of bloat (especially combined with enzymes which every premium kibble lacks, processed = dead organisms = less digestion of nutrients) it gives your dog the good bacteria needed, especially before during and after antibiotics, antibiotics kill all bacteria, even the good, dogs are dogs too they eat things, more bad bacteria for a dog's body to try and fight, I used to get sick every winter, all winter, take some probiotics kills the infection within hours if caught early..  There is a reason why 1 million cfu's isn't enough.

Deja vu, I just posted somewhere else, guess I have to again, good thing I type fast.  My personal dog, love of my life, service dog and personal protection dog went into trouble in labor, a few weeks before I took her in because she stopped eating for a little over a day, that's not like her... I insisted on bloodwork and an ultrasound he said she was just fine, he wouldn't do it....yet again my dumbass listens to a vet, a so called professional.  This was one of 2 times I was out of some supplements, they were on back order, finally I got all of the supplements and whelping equipment a few days later, a few days after that...She went into labor, she had her first pup and 3 more, her temp was too high to be having pups, she was ignoring them a bit, just too weak I know my dogs.  I got my little doctor kit out (No I am not a vet) checked her temp again, palpated her and then the warning sign..her gums, they were almost white, she had no energy to contract, I drove her to the vet as fast as I could, average cost is around $600 for a C-section, I had around $900 just incase something went wrong, they said she was fine....AGAIN I told them to do blood work, come to find out she was very sick slowly dying, she had a uterus infection, her blood was so bad they were certain she needed a blood transfusion, they told me they wouldn't touch her because it was too risky and I had to take her to a specialty center, $2,500 for the C-section, $200 to walk through the door, on the way there she had another pup, well, more like I put my fingers up there and she is not stupid so she knew to work with me, we got to the "specialists" I told them the other puppy in her canal would die because he had no air, naturally I have no idea what I'm doing and these bitches wouldn't let me save him, when they had time they got him out, about 10 minutes later...it was too late, Lexi laid on the floor for hours while I made phone calls, towels being shoved under her so not to get their floor bloody...I've never felt so hopeless in my life, I could see her looking at me and the other people wondering why no one would help her, PP or not she loves and trusts people unless given a reason not to, shame I couldn't have made her understand the bank was closed, and they are greedy bastards, when I finally found someone to help me out, they told my Mother she had a 10% chance or less of surviving, all I heard them talking about was saving as many pups as they could, but she made it.  Do you know WHY she made it?  Because of the daily supplements I give all of my dogs gave her body the energy, bacteria and will to fight.  They said her gums would be pale for several weeks, said she'd be weak and questioned her blood count, 2 days later her incision was almost fully healed and she was perfectly fine, gums back to normal, cell counts good.....they are vets and they didn't know how she survived or got better so fast....it's called Proper Care and begging God, I highly doubt it was just the care.  She had 13 puppies, 2 died and it could have been prevented but 13 is a lot, so is 11 too though, I don't l
