[Gpdd] HEALTH: SOFT POO

[jaaladog]

Thank you Carole,

I am going to give the acidophilus  a go and see what happens.  Right now, 
she seems to be improving.  I have been giving her some of the lemon balm 
leaves and I read on line that it is good for their digestive system.

Thanks again for your helpfulresponse,
Lynn
