www.doghealth.co.uk theres a marvellous homeopahtic drink for dogs called Moor Gold and a powder called Protect,that contains live bacteria. You give it daily and it saved my yorkie from Colitis. He was passing mucus in his stools and the vet wanted to cut him open for exploratory surgery but I said no and went on the web. He started taking Moor Gold May 2004 and hasn't had a bout of collitis since. You could see a difference in him in one week it's so good. He still takes it,so go take a look at the website. It's safe for puppies and older dogs too and the customer care is second to none, you can ask questions and they are happy to help. They also sell other great homeopathic treatments for dogs which I have used and wouldn't be without for my yorkie. Hope this helps all the best Lisa
