I have read many articles on this subject and find the conflicting causal agents ludicrous. As a nutritionist for over 35 years, I have dedicated much time, effort, and resources to uncovering these ailments ineptly called syndromes by money hungry veterinarians. So much has been blamed on the inbreeding issue but no reference has been made to the onslaught of unnecessary vaccinations, toxic pollution, and antibiotic therapy that has reduced the number of beneficial species of fungi and bacteria. When compromised, the animals negative pathogen population can then take over and multiply. It can be easily prevented.

Many people now take credit for solving this dilemma. The answer has been always there and many people who now claim credit actually were dealers for Nature’s Farmacy and purchased probiotic blends. Many still do. It matters not the name of a formula but rather the population of beneficial bacteria, beneficial fungi, availability of digestive enzymes and antibodies. As usual these so called miracle cures are a complete one of kind package available from only their source.

The truth is in correct nutrition, not limited to beneficial species of bacteria, live cell yeast and other fungi as the only key to prevention. The sad reality of probiotics is that if they are not encapsulated they are rendered useless. They often are dead and cannot multiply before you even open the package. Insist on open labels, full ingredient guarantees and micro-encapsulation. After all, you are buying it and have the right to insist they supply the information. It’s your money and more important your dog!

In summary, this like many of Canine nutritionally induced issues can be and is prevented every day thru the use of Digestive Enhancing probiotics and sound nutrient supplementation.
