| Help for my oldest dearest friend I haven't visited YT for awhile so I hope someone remembers me. I lost two of my three furbabies four days apart about two yrs. ago, one a 10 year old norfolk terrier, and one a 4 yr. old shih-tzu. Norfolk with heart trouble and shih-tzu from AIHA. Now, I have my oldest and dearest yorkie, Jasper, (the last of the three amigos I sometimes call him) and I am worried about him. He has a good apetite and does not show lethargy, but has lost a lot of weight and has had intermittent diahrrhea for a year. I've had every test done on him short of putting him under and "scoping" him and some other test that's $800 and the vet can't find out what's going on. I am at my wit's end as I want him to be comfortable in his last years - he will be 13 in August. Any help or suggestions would be invaluable at this point. He is eating Iams mini chunks - diet has been changed a couple of times to no avail. Cannot tolerate any tablescraps or too many treats at all - just makes it worse. Sometimes mucus is found in stool, other times, just loose. Thanks again for any info/help. Desperate. |

| My Rosco had the same problem with runny mucusy poops and sometimes blood in it. Come to find out his body couldn't tolerate chicken. Eliminated it from his diet and he is much better. Could be the food your dog is eating.
