We stopped giving bully sticks due to the choking hazards when it got really small. The boys would try to swallow it!
Do you think we should proceed with the Endoscopy? I hate when they have to go under. |
So the c.perf alpha toxin gene was positive - but the add'l testing was negative, so I'm assuming they were satisfied with these results...? Did they talk to you about that particular part? All dogs do have c.perf in their systems (as do humans) - but it's when overgrowth or consumption of c.perf overgrowth is a problem that causes infection level.
Gosh, at this point, I think I probably would do and Endo and a biopsy.
Also though -- have you traveled anywhere with the dogs and/or have they been kenneled anywhere...?
