Quick Post  Clostridium intestinal infection....???  New Topic
Clostridium intestinal infection....???   • My little pom has
just recently come down with this condition.      I know dogs
generally have this bacteria in their gut anyways, and it's
normally not an issue unless something is introduced into their
system; i.e. stress, not enough fiber, etc.      Can others shed
light on what causes this?    • Essentially they can get gut
bacteria from darned near anywhere -- including, but not limited
to, drinking out of a puddle or licking your shoe or some
grass.       Now, all those things (stress, etc.) set the gut up
to not deal as well with that bacteria -- it can be anything
from one incident of something overwhelming to a whole cluster
of things all "stressing a bit more" or adding a bit more
bacteria.        this is not a cop out ... but seriously
sometimes it just "happens".  That doesn't sound scientific but
it's simply a normal name for a whole chain of events that all
conspires against them.       Tha
