I have successfully treated my dog for CD. She is now back to being her old self. The only signs that she was sick is some loss of sight in her left eye. When I took her in to the vet she was critical and they gave her about two weeks to live. Here is the regimen I used. Detox and Immune booster Ambrotose by Mannatech - boosts the immune system and provides phytonutrients and glyconutrients so the cells can detox Detox and supplement Detoxitech by Natural Factors - detoxifier with vitamins Pedialyte for electoytes Celery juice electrolytes and energy booster as well as urinary system support Bone broth in powder form (beef) Collagen by Ancient Nutrition and liquid bone broth (chicken) for repairing damage Probiotics - I bought the childrens chewables and she chewed them up but you can also use liquid form if the animal will not chew them up. They do make them for animals Slippery Elm Bark! I fed her half a teaspoon of ambrotose every hour. If she was eating I would mix it into her food. If not I mixed it with pedialyte and used a plastic syringe and squirted it in her mouth. She was thirsty but would not drink from a bowl and due to the complications of the disease they should not drink or eat with their head down. They run the risk of aspirating the liquid so they will sense that so they will not drink or eat unless held up to their mouth. You have to make them drink, they will resist at times but if you have to make them drink. I also froze the pedialyte and water in ice cubes and she would chew on them. For some reason she really liked the ice cubes. I gave her half scoop of detoxitech by natural factors two to three times a day. My dog was about 30 lbs so you can adjust accordingly. These products are a food, not a chemical or medication so you can't overdose the animal. I fed her plain food, at first boiled chicken breast and the broth from it. I ground it up so she could digest it easier. I also fed her sweet potatoes. She loved them so i would feed them to her with bone broth in them or even add them to the boiled meat. I gave her some wild rice, as wild rice is good for nerve damage and collagen powder. Make sure the collagen is pure collagen. Regular rice is high in arsenic, do not give them rice! Lot's of Bone broth, it provides bone marrow for the cells to rebuild. After she was feeling a little better I would give her raw beaten egg. Not every day, just every few days. After she started showing signs of improvement I put her on canned dog food but only pure mild flavors with meat and some veggies, the best one I found was Science Diet Sensitive Stomach and skin. I worked a lot better for stopping diarhea. Slippery Elm Bark! Is a must. I bought the powder at www.theholistichorse.com. They have great products. Make it according to instructions and add it to the soft food. I instantly saw a change in her bowels. I added water and liquid bone broth to the food to make sure she stayed hydrated. I also kept her in a very dark room and since they have inflamation and body temp issues I she was in a cool room but a light cover on her. I gave her liquid black walnut drops in her food after a couple of weeks for parasites. No chemicals should be given to the animal. I also didn't give her steroids or antibiotics. They destroy the natural flora of the body and compromise the immunity. I gave her the probiotics after about two weeks time to make sure she had good flora in her intestines. If I had known this disease existed I would have been quicker to take her to the vet for diagnosis and treatment. Do not feed the animal anything dry, they need moist food only. If they eat dry foods they will get a blockage. I had to remove one myself so I learned that the hard way. Do not give the animal chemical flea and tick treatment. I only use diatomaceous earth because it is natural and won't compromise the immune system. If they get knats from their oder just use eucalyptus oil diluted with water in a spray bottle. My dog did not want to be bathed for some reason so I used a bucket of water to wash only her hindquarters. Due to body temperature issues this worked the best. Keep the eyes moistened with eye drops, preferably a liquid herb eyebright, it will nourish the eyes and protect against damage to them
