I have tried to read through all these posts and see you are very informed but I just wanted to add my KimMee had clostridium diarreah several times - for awhile she had chronic hemoragic gastritis and usually tested positive for the clostridium. My vet said she could have gotten it from dirt in my yard or other animals, I live on acreage- my own research found it does live in the intestine at some level and like anything when the intestine gets out of whack - it can take hold. I also found links to it in cattle and it is related to tetanus if I understand correctly
bottom line- Kim hasn't had any trouble in 2 years after several rounds with it- she was on anti-biotics and pro-biotics- but my vet gave her live pro-biotics at human dosage
I wish you well with your baby and I hope you get answers to her problems and that she gets cured |
