And as far as still using it in hospitals, well they are hotbeds of infection now aren't they? <G> Heck, I knew 10 years ago that Estrogen replacement therapy put women at higher risk for breast cancer. And it's NOW that the experts are reporting this as breaking news


LOL!   Yep!   But then there's lots of things that kill the bad bacteria along with the good bacteria - uhhh...woman's hygiene products for one!   But seriously, I didn't want Chrissy or anyone else to think that they were harming their dogs permanently using peroxide.    I also wouldn't want to recommend Benadryl either - some dogs could have a reaction.  Thinking topical alcohol with some medicated powder is probably the safest bet yet.

BTW - antibiotics kill good bacteria (in the stomach) hence the need or recommendation for Probiotics when a dog and now more than ever people, have been treated with antibiotics.   But they are still widely used and serve their purpose.
