First, give her a probiotic at each meal, along with a capsule of Slippery Elm Bark. Next, give her cheap hamburger instead of the i/d, adding water and salt to it to induce her to drink more. Then, add 1/8 tsp of d-mannose to the food at each meal. Continue this until all has normalized.

I looked up d-mannose online after reading about it in the response from Dr. Tobin. It sounds great!!!
