I had mentioned before that at Yiska's first vet visit the vet felt a crackling in her left hip. After I told the breeder about it, she told me to get her started on Ester-C 'just in case' anything was brewing, and that she is so young that we could fix it. She told me to start her on 250mgs and raise the dose about every week or so, depending on her weight and watching for loose stools..and backing back down if that was the case. I eventually had her at 500mgs but it was at the time when I was still battling their digestive issues, so I backed it down to 250mgs because I couldn't tell what was causing the looseness.
Anyway, I eventually stopped giving it to her altogether because I cut so much out of their diets, trying to get a handle on their issues. Everytime I look at the bottle, I wonder if I should start her on it again. Apparently it would be for the long term..somethin g she would always have to take.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? She was only 8 wks old when the vet checked her out and she even told me it might be nothing. The other pups from the litter have gotten clean bills of health, including Yukon.
