Hello :)

I encourage you to fresh make your own yogurt & @ .5 gallons a day should be 
the max you give the puppy a day of @ 20ppm C.S.
Of course the puppy will never drink that much... But that's based on 
converting the ration for human max consumption / @ 66 gallons per day... 
However please not that the only danger here is possible development of argyria 
if you drink @ 60+ gallons a day of 20ppm C.S., no toxicity, just possible 
development of blue skin if you can somehow manage to drink 60+ gallons per day 
for a period of several months !!!

The home brewed yogurt is very good at maintaining intestonal balance...

Of worthy note, I think, is my personal observation, that C.S. apears to get 
the bacteria, that my intestins use to digest red-meat... If I eat red meat 
after / durring ingestion of C.S., I end up just passing the red meat right out 
of my bowels... Noew normally red meat sits around rotting in your intestins 
for days... However dogs really need this red meat, and please take note... 
they cannot digest the soy protein crap in the purina dry-type dog chow that 
the b.s. label on the bag says staight faced that they can...

please take a look at this URL http://www.bullovedbulldogs.com/barf.htm

These folks use C.S. to treat their dogs too, so don't be shy about contacting 
them, and talking about puppies !

Regards,
Alexander

  Subject: CS>Does CS taken orally have a negative effect on benefical gut 
bacteria?


  I have a friend who just called, she has a puppy almost 3 weeks old, about 20 
ozs, who was doing well and this morning for no apparent reason took a turn for 
the worse, temperature dropped & crying out, so she gave it some drops of 
colloidal silver and a homeopathic remedy for fading puppies (don't know the 
name of it offhand), and in the past couple of hours the puppy seems to be 
showing some improvement.  

  She is concerned, though, how much CS would be safe to give a puppy, she was 
told by another breeder that the CS will destroy the beneficial gut bacteria as 
well as harmful ones.  She is giving a few drops every few hours, or planning 
to, as well as a bit of organic yogurt.  

  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
