Daisy has had stomach issues ever since I got her at 10 weeks. Daisy has had many health issues.
The first two years of her life in and out of the hospital almost dieing 2 times. I home cooked a special diet bc she could not handle dog food.

Sadly Daisy was bought by my daughter at a pet store bf we even knew about puppy mills. When I researched where she came from I found out that she was a puppy mill dog.

When we first got her she would not even let you pet her she would scower and hide. I worked with her and gained her trust. She is such a sweet dog and very loving now.

As for the doxycycline they already wrote across her files NO DOYCYCLINE!!
The vet said after view Daisy's history she realized that she should not of been given this drug especially bc she had a bad reaction to the lepto vaccination. Also daisy was given the Max for her size and now I am really upset to find out it is not FDA approved for dogs!!! OMG!!

I am praying that her lvls didn't go back up bc that could mean something more serious.
yeah the other drug not approved is ivermectin but it is used for demodex so there are some drugs not approved but just have to be given with caution off label. Atopica is being used off label for ibd dogs as well. Sometimes it works and sometimes it can be a problem sadly I think the reason it is not fda is because the company did not want to pay for clinical trials for that specific reason like with atopica as I called Novartis about this with the ibd thing and they said they cannot approve its use for ibd as they never did the trials for it to get it approved yet some vets are using for this off label.

Glad your vet is part owner as that will help with bill I hope
