Also, my veterinarian suggested D mannose for my female dog that kept getting UTIs, and it worked for her! Rosie I can confirm that th...

Re: Newly diagnosed with LC, needing some guidance
Supplements are good too, but I believe you can train your immune system to learn what is good and what is not, and doing that through small portions is the way to go. I guess I like the grind, don’t I?
