Lyme disease, anitbiotics and probios

["Beth Glace" <lb@nismat.org>]

Hello All,
Klassy is on her 2nd course of doxycyclian [46 tabs daily!] in 
treatment of Lyme disease.  We are giving her ProBios 2x daily to 
maintain gut function.  She appears to have a bit of colic though 
when on the atiobiotics.  She is pooping well, but has terrible gas:  
I can hear her gut rumbling, and then she groans and seems to burp.  
Does not eat her hay but eats grass [she's actually gettting FAT with 
this lack of work, and lush pasture].  My question is this, is it the 
ProBios causing the gas or the antiobiotics?  Should I increase or 
decrease the microorganisms?  

Thanks!!!
PS,  sadly she is still lame [in the pelvis or groin area] and our 
next step is to bring her to Cornell for a bone scan.  We don't know 
if the lameness is secondary to the Lyme or due to fooling around 
in the pasture, but it's been 2 months.  I am completely paranoid 
about TICKS  now!!
