Hi. My dog has had a problem with UTIs, struvite crystals and high PH. She has been on Methioform for almost 2 years. Recently she started with wet burps, almost sounds like reflux. Her breath has also been rancid, which has been checked by the vet. I don't like the idea of her being on Methioform for such a long time, and I'm wondering if it's possible that the Methioform is causing these problems? Any input?

Methioform and PH
Re: Methioform and PH
To my knowledge, this shouldn't occur unless there is a hepatic disease process going on...or a gastric disturbance, which you can discuss with your vet (could be other causes).
When was her last kidney and liver enzyme testing? Has she ever had these done? If not, might want to consider it, and rule out acidosis, kidney disease, etc. Also rule out peridontal disease as a possible cause of the halitosis.

Re: Methioform and PH
methiofprm may be the proble but i have never used it so i really don;t know...i guess people get tired of being told to check twith your vet but in this case i think it is essential...i really7 don;t think it is the medication but without seeing the dog, checking the dog, auscultaing the dog, getting blood of the dog checked etc, etc, etc,,,nothing can be said that can be sconstrued as accurate....
