My dog had an nasty abscess from a rotten tooth resulting in green gunk running from her eye and nose after the tooth was removed. Infection was treated with antibiotics and homeopathy.
In the following 8 months she started to gain weight and then have back spasms.
A couple of months ago she had a full blown back episode were the spine and discs were inflamed and causing pain.
After some research I have come to the conclusion some of the bacteria from the abscess made it's way into the disks between the vertebra and spine. She's a greyhound and apparently with long- spined dogs like greyhounds and dashounds bacteria likes to go the spine.
Treatment would be long-term antibiotic therapy 6 months + which my vet is reluctant to do.
I have her on a mixture of mushrooms like Turkey tail, Rieshi and chaga and also egg shell membrane and a little progesterone. She's raw fed, eats a lot of organ meats and wild rabbit, milk & fruit
I'm looking for any suggestions I can try at all. I wondered if Thiamine could help with speeding up her digestion as I know low thiamine is a cause for SIBO and help rid of some bacteria. Many thanks
