JoAnn,
The first day I gave the graviola to Kacee I gave her drops straight from the bottle into her mouth. She did get an upset stomach. Then I read on the bottle "to remove alcohol add to hot (or warm - can't remember) water". So now I put about a tablespoon of water in a small cup and heat in microwave for 10 seconds, then I add the graviola and then I add food. She has not had an upset stomach since - ?? She gets pepcid before her evening meal, the peroxicam after her evening meal and the graviola in the morning. She had blood in her urine on and off for weeks. It has since stopped, but it's a day to day thing. Kacee is not on anything else. I have not taken the holistic route as of yet. You are giving Mike alot of new things so his system needs to adjust. We all want to help our babies. Maybe you should introduce the new supplements gradually so you can tell how he is reacting to what. Just a suggestion - every dog is different. Its a matter of finding out what YOUR baby can and can not tolerate. Hope this helps -
Karen
